I had a vision about this subject while at a specially organized prayer meeting for a dear friend of the family, that had just been diagnosed with deadly cancer. While praying I was given a vision, and internal knowing in my spirit. It was saying/showing that to not be afraid when the final confirm of pathology came, but to know, he was gonna be instantly healed in this particular case. I was shown people carrying sticks, they walked toward where they were all stacking their particular stick. It made a bond fire pile, yet not fire yet set. After each placed their individual stick on the pile, then the point came it was supernally set on fire, consumed. Then God said to me, "in this case," it will be a combination of efforts involved, then the fire will ignite each one's sticks, and then it will happen....the healing will come. See, at the time, the family friend said he didn't want to have any treatment, cause he felt it would be like a lack of faith that God could heal him. I did not know this at all, cause I was not close to him, he was close friend of my dad, I had no idea of that. At the end of the prayer meeting that day, I went over quietly to him, presented the vision I had written out and what I felt God wanted him to know.
He continued to not get treatment and almost died on a cruise,on vacation, with my dad there. They got him off the cruise and he did then go to Dr again. Dr told him he was getting to the point they wouldn't even be able to offer him any treatment at all, and it was only to try to beat cancer back a bit, but if he wanted to try, he had to start ASAP! ...or he couldn't ever try it. He agreed to try the treatment. ...meanwhile, my mom/dad had gone to ministry school in Florida years before, and the family friend had come down to see them while there. Again, this was years before he had ever been diagnosed with cancer. Anyways, the lady called my mom and said she wanted to tell her something. She told my mom she has has a dream about their friend who came to see them while their were going to ministry school in Florida. She proceeded to tell her she had see him (the family friend) inside a holowed out log, being taken into a cemetery to be buried. After at the grave site, the log ignited and the family friend had "Life" breathed into him, and instead of burying him, a funeral, they went into town, and had a celebration. The lady who had the dream and called my mom to tell her, did not know the family friend at all, had no idea of his cancer diagnosis nor of the vision God had given me during the prayer meeting about each person bringing their collective sticks, and then once all had their sticks in place, fire would ignite the sticks, and bring healing to him. Other Friend was declared cancer free, and that was over 18 yrs ago! Point is, too many put God into a box,or try to. We honestly will never know "the whys" here on this earth. We won't, cause so many innocent good persons die, and evil ones seem to thrive. All of us don't get it, so unjust, but to those of us who choose to try to live for the Lord daily, we have so many questions that will never be answered while we are here on this earth for sure. But I value the moments like this in my life, so much, that have happened to me, and we're I was able to speak hope and life into a dire situation. You feel so small, and helpless, and you just reach inside to make sure it's not out if yourself best you can. Everytime I see our dear friend, EVERYTIME, it reminds me of how God works through us to help others with our respective skills and talents to bring hope to another. Using Doctors isn't lack of faith, it's how God designed things to work 95% of the time, through others. Humans reaching out helping other Humans. God also does the miraculous, I've witnessed that as well, just keep believing and looking for ways to encourage others everyday. God Bless you all.
