There are moments in life when fear feels louder than faith—when circumstances seem so overwhelming that it’s hard to believe God is still working behind the scenes. This is my story of how the Lord led me from fear to freedom, from sickness to healing, and from striving to complete trust in Him. Through every painful season, He proved Himself faithful and showed me that true healing—spirit, soul, and body—was already won on the cross.
Just eight months after my mother passed away from colon cancer, I was diagnosed with a large, cancerous tumor at the end of my colon—the size of a baby’s head. It was an incredibly frightening time for me because I had watched my mother suffer through the final two years of her life as the disease spread throughout her body. I had cared for her and witnessed firsthand the pain she endured.
Of course, I was being prayed for and praying myself, but if I’m honest, my prayer was simply this: that God would spare me from experiencing the same agony my mother had gone through.
My mother had always said that she was believing for her healing, but because of incorrect teaching, she also struggled with identity issues and believed that God was punishing her with sickness to teach her a lesson for something she might have done wrong. While I would often tell her, “That’s not what God does,” that same lie still spoke louder in my own mind than the truth of believing for complete healing.
When I finally sat in the oncologist’s office to discuss treatment options, he looked at me and said that all the cancer had been removed along with the tumor. The great miracle was that God had contained the cancer entirely within that mass. I was completely cancer-free.
A Decade Later: Another Test of Faith
Fast forward ten years. After a very stressful season when my husband left me—and I had to manage the divorce on my own without a lawyer—I developed GERD. I underwent surgery to repair a hiatal hernia, but the operation only made the condition worse.
Just a month after the hernia operation, I had left my home country and moved to America to marry a man I didn’t really know well – a cause for a little more stress. I also now had limited access to medical care beyond over-the-counter medication.
Since the operation where they removed my tumor years earlier, I had also become dependent on sleeping pills to treat chronic insomnia. Even though I understood that my healing had already been accomplished through Jesus, I wasn’t seeing any breakthrough from the GERD or the insomnia.
A Turning Point
In January 2025, I attended a healing service hosted by Charis Bible College, where the Terradezes were speaking. A couple prayed for me there, but afterward, my GERD actually seemed to get worse.
Then, about three weeks ago, the Lord began to reveal the true root of what was going on. He showed me that I had been bound by a spirit of condemnation—formed over years of incorrect teaching and a distorted understanding of my identity in Christ. That condemnation had been blocking my healing.
I began taking communion every morning, and slowly, I started to feel an improvement in my symptoms.
The Lord showed me something powerful: when people receive a bad diagnosis and are prescribed medication, they take it faithfully every day—sometimes multiple times a day. He said to me, “If you would take medicine prescribed by a doctor, how much more should you take communion like medicine—to remind your body that healing has already been purchased for you on the cross.”
Learning to Trust the Process
God also reminded me of Mark 4:26–28:
“The kingdom of God is as if a man should scatter seed on the ground, and should sleep by night and rise by day, and the seed should sprout and grow, he himself does not know how. For the earth yields crops by itself: first the blade, then the head, after that the full grain in the head.”
Through this, He showed me that He was developing something I had always lacked—patience and deeper trust in Him.
As I continued taking communion daily and resting in His promises, I became completely free from GERD. I also no longer need sleeping tablets.
The Miracle of Complete Healing
Praise God! Not only has He healed me from cancer, GERD, and insomnia, but He has also taught me patience, peace, and an unshakable trust in our precious Lord Jesus.
Healing isn’t always instant—it’s often a journey of faith, trust, and surrender. But when we understand who we are in Christ and what He’s already done for us on the cross, freedom always follows.
