Put the Lord in remembrance of His promises

22/08/09

‘Put the Lord in remembrance of His promises; keep not silence’ – Isaiah 62:6b

On the 17^th of August 2009, my sister Helena shared in excitement Isaiah 41:10-13 with me. I give in brackets the words she shared with me as the Holy Spirit showed her. She declared that she has this clear in her inner being. God says,

41:10 Fear not, Elmien [there is nothing to fear], for I am with you Elmien; do not look around you in terror and be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen and harden you to difficulties, yes, I will help you; yes, I will hold you up and retain you Elmien with My [victorious] right hand of rightness and justice. (Jesus)

41:11 Behold, all they (all those cancer cells) who are enraged and inflamed against you Elmien shall be put to shame and confounded; they (all those cancer cells) who strive against you shall be as nothing and shall perish.

41:12 You shall seek those (cancer cells) who contend with you but shall not find them; they (all those cancer cells) who war against you shall be as nothing, as nothing at all.

41:13 For I the Lord your God hold your right hand; I am the Lord, Who says to you, Fear not; I will help you!

This passage is amazing!

As the days passed I was thinking on the above passage. On Friday the 21^st August 2009 I took the chelating capsules at 6:00am and thereafter the enzymes as usual. I felt a restriction and had a struggled to swallow, and felt the irritation as the supplements went down. I had a burning like fire, something like bad indigestion and it felt as if the pills were stuck in my throat. When I ate breakfast it became a severe struggle.

The fight was on, my mind was immediately attacked by the enemy telling me that I am not healed and God’s Word isn’t true, prayer and treatment isn’t working! My spirit inside rose up because a thought like this is instigated from a source trying to bring the Word in disrepute. I immediately realized that I had a choice to take those thoughts captive and bring it in line with God’s Word according to:

2 Corinthians10:5 [Inasmuch as we] refute arguments and theories and reasonings and every proud and lofty thing that sets itself up against the [true] knowledge of God; and we lead every thought and purpose away captive into the obedience of Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).

The battle was real as I still had to take other supplements during the day and I was severely attacked by raw fear. I decided to stay at home and not go out with Helena as she had some errands to run and I could join her. I didn’t feel well, the symptoms was so real and threatening. Later during the morning I became very tired and fell asleep for a while trusting Jesus that the work He has accomplished 2000 years ago is still today the same for me – Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ (the Messiah) is [always] the same, yesterday, today, [yes] and forever (to the ages).

I woke up, finished some of the washing and decided to do my exercises on the walker available to me. As I was walking I had to make a deliberate decision to praise God for His word, Jesus my healer and His great and wonderful salvation available to me. I quoted the promises as God has given it to me during my journey. Exultant joy started to fill my mind; I sang with my mind and in the Holy Spirit, a gift I received many years ago. I kept on saying, “Thank you Lord your Word is the only truth and your promises are mine according to Nahum 1:9

What do you devise against me you enemy of cancer and how mad are your attempt to plot against the Lord? He has made a full end to this affliction! Cancer shall not rise up the second time. This verse began to grow in my mind and body through my lips. I spoke it out aloud and also quoted the following Scriptures; Jesus said on the cross, ‘It is finished!’ Full salvation, our ransom is paid in full, the enemy cannot keep us captive and I chose to rejoice because of Jesus’ ransom for me. John 19:30; Ps 103:1-5; Ps 118:17; Hebrews 13:5 –My Lord will never leave me or forsake me.

Before we went to sleep Helena, my sister explained to me that it takes time for cancer to develop and cannot just flare up over night. We know by God’s Word that I am healed. I choose to only settle for His Word who is Jesus! Oh my precious Jesus, how beautiful You are, loving kindness and mercy (unlimited) forever flowing from You to anyone who wants to take this free gift. I only need to open this free gift and take hold of it through faith in the action of believing and accepting His precious Word as true to my circumstances.

Early this morning the 22^nd Aug 2009 I had the same routine at 6:00am and the pills went down well. I decided to spend time with the Lord. The word bounced from my spirit to renew my mind and suddenly my understanding grasped the Word which my sister shared with me five days ago out of Isaiah 41:10-13.

I share it with you as I have written it down for myself.

Cancer enraged, inflamed against me shall be put to shame, as nothing it shall perish. Medical scans will seek cancer cells but it shall not be found, cancer that war against me shall be as nothing, as nothing at all! I am your God, Elmien you are kept in the palm of My right hand.

John 10:28 says:” And I give them eternal life, and they shall never lose it or perish throughout the ages. To all eternity they shall never by any means be destroyed. And no one is able to snatch them out of My hand.”

“Fear not Elmien, I the Lord help you, I am your Redeemer. Rest in Me Elmien and enter My rest. I Jesus walked the storm with you Elmien, and I Jesus calmed the storm.”

For sure I declare with my lips my Father’s provision, wholeness, health, prosperity. I am dancing with Jesus and the Holy Spirit keeps on renewing and reminding me of God’s precious promises. Isaiah 62:6b…’ put the Lord in remembrance [of His promises], keep not silence.’ I prayed and spoke these scriptures to the Lord and it became a glorious time together in His presence.

As the day progressed the irritation in the swallowing became better and I chose to put my trust in, rely upon, believe in and adhere to the full salvation of Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Word who is the Light and Life of men.

Two days later and I just can’t feel better. I am overjoyed with my Father’s peace. I stand amazed at the wonder working power of His Word in my body and soul (mind and emotions) as one makes the choice to accept and believe what God says is true for one’s own specific situation.

How do I pray the Word of God?

Below is an example of praying God’s word which in time will renew our minds up to a point that we will have confidence to open the scriptures with thankfulness and praise on our lips for what God has already done for us through Jesus. We can also use the Psalms to praise and pray.

Amplified Bible version – Ephesians 1: 2-14

I pray Father God that your grace, your unmerited favour and spiritual peace, which means peace with You Father and harmony, unity, and undisturbedness, is mine from You, my Father and from my Lord Jesus Christ.

I give You blessing, praise Father of my Lord Jesus Christ, the Messiah, who has blessed me in Him with every spiritual blessing, in the heavenly realm through the Holy Spirit.

In Your love You chose me, You picked me out for Yourself as Your own in Christ, before the foundation of the world, that I should be holy, consecrated and set apart for You. I am blameless in Your sight, even above reproach, before you in love.

You foreordained and destined me, planned in love for me to make me Your own child through Jesus Christ, the purpose of Your will, because it pleased You my Father and was Your kind intent for me.

My life will be to the praise and the commendations of Your glorious grace, favour and mercy, which You freely bestowed on me in my Beloved, Jesus.

In You Jesus we/I have redemption, deliverance and salvation through Your blood, the remission, forgiveness of our/my offenses, shortcomings and trespasses, in accordance with the riches and the generosity of Your gracious favour.

You Lord lavished upon us/me every kind of wisdom and understanding, practical insight and prudence.

Making known to us/me the mystery, secret of Your will, plan and Your purpose. And it is this, in accordance of Your good pleasure, Your merciful intention which You have previously purposed and set forth in Jesus, you planned: That in the maturity of times and the climax of the ages to unify all things and head them up and consummate them in Christ, both things in heaven and things on earth.

Because of this plan we/I also were made God’s heritage and we/I obtained an inheritance.

I thank You that we/I have been foreordained, chosen and appointed beforehand in accordance with Your purpose. You work out everything in agreement with the counsel and design of Your own will.

You have sealed our salvation with the Holy Spirit, the guarantee of our inheritance.

My awesome, wonderful Father God my heart is filled with gratitude for this great plan of Salvation in Christ Jesus.

Amen.

Be imitators of God

We can read the Word over and over without paying real attention because we most often think we know, too well, the very scriptures we are reading. When we start to pray the Word verse by verse, applying our name and the names of those for whom we are praying in an intimate personal way, suddenly the Word turns into REVELATION! Understanding and life floods our minds and hearts.

I would like to challenge you to start praying the Psalms, and Ephesians and allow yourself to integrate, blend, unite, and become one with this astounding Truth. I found this practice to become a major and powerful tool for the renewal of my mind. In doing this kind of prayer, it will become the most exciting life changing experience during your day. As a matter of fact you will be meditating and living in the realm of God’s Word without returning to the realm of the kingdom of this physical world of lack, want and daily cumbersome burdens. You will find yourself living the life of an eagle, from above not from below.

Forget about your prayer lists and the things you so desperately want from God. Allow you to enter into His world, Kingdom and tear yourself away from your daily distresses and needs, even responsibilities for the things you think you need to pray about. Venture out into a new prayer experience and you will stand amazed at how God’s answers will flood your life. Take your mind completely off your immediate problems, desires and wants. Fix it on the Word as you begin to pray the Word. Stop looking for “intercessors” to help bother God with the things He has already provided for His children. You are about to enter the greatest revolutionary, adventurous experience of your Christian walk with God.

You see the Word of God says that I am seated in heavenly places wrapped up in Christ Jesus. I am from a different Kingdom; I have a different perspective on life. The more I renew my mind with the Word, I become an imitator of my Father God.
Ephesians 5:1”THEREFORE BE imitators of God [copy Him and follow His example], as well-beloved children [imitate their father].”
I imitate His Words, LET THERE BE LIGHT! That light drives out the darkness of disease in every fibre, cell and organ of my body and mind. This light expels darkness in my mind to the point where no foul, polluted language nor evil word, nor unwholesome or evil talk of unbelief comes out of my mouth.
Ephesians 4:29 “Let no foul or polluting language, nor evil word nor unwholesome or worthless talk [ever] come out of your mouth, but only such [speech] as is good and beneficial to the spiritual progress of others, as is fitting to the need and the occasion, that it may be a blessing and give grace (God's favour) to those who hear it.”

When I think the thoughts of God, I have the mind of Christ.
1 Corinthians 2:16 “For who has known or understood the mind (the counsels and purposes) of the Lord so as to guide and instruct Him and give Him knowledge? But we have the mind of Christ (the Messiah) and do hold the thoughts (feelings and purposes) of His heart.

I will also speak the mind of God and do the works of God. The word says I will be nothing less than the standard height of Christ’s own perfection, the measure of the stature of the fullness of the Christ and the completeness found in Him. (See Ephesians 4:13) No excuses of being only human and therefore sinful will escape over our lips any longer! We will begin to see, hear, understand and live in righteousness, holiness, blamelessness and sinless in the presence, love, free grace and mercy of the Father which He made available to us in Christ Jesus!
Ephesians 2:7 He did this that He might clearly demonstrate through the ages to come the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of His free grace (His unmerited favour) in [His] kindness and goodness of heart toward us in Christ Jesus.
2:8 For it is by free grace (God's unmerited favour) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ's salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God;

It is a reality that this body of mine is re-diagnosed with the glory, life and victory of God on the same cross where Jesus paid the price for me to become the righteousness of God my Father. Jesus became the way and the open door for me to run into the presence of the Father without guilt, blame, shame or sin. As I am standing in His presence I am His kind, completed, healed and set free from every sin, sickness, disease and darkness because His Light is present in my life. I am a trophy of His free grace and victory. Now my life lovingly expresses truth in all things, speaking truly, living truly and dealing truly. (See Ephesians 4:15)

You see there is nothing I have to be or to do to deserve health, protection, wellness, wealth, God’s favour or goodness towards me, for God so loved the world that He gave us everything we need for a good life in His Son our Brother Jesus Christ. All we need to do is to receive HIS Gift of Love and live!
John 6:28 They then said, what are we to do, that we may [habitually] be working the works of God? [What are we to do to carry out what God requires?]
6:29 Jesus replied, This is the work (service) that God asks of you: that you believe in the One (Jesus Christ), whom He, (Father) has sent [that you cleave to, trust, rely on, and have faith in His Messenger (Jesus)].
Enjoy the privileges and inheritance of your God family! After all you are the offspring of your Father, you are His kind. The mystery is the Holy Spirit Himself living in you, your body being His temple (house, dwelling place). The Holy Spirit Himself is giving life to your mortal bodies.
Rom 8:11 If the Spirit of him (God) who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through his Spirit who dwells in you.

Do we have a promise for long life?

The moment when you are diagnosed with a serious disease like cancer not just is the quality of your life compromised but also your life expectancy. In my case the doctor reckoned that my chances for full recovery were really slim. They would try to keep me as comfortable as possible but it was clear that I was not given much time. In a time like this it is important to know what God’s opinion is on a matter like this. After all God has the last say on any matter concerning our lives.

This morning while reading Ps 90, I was anew surprised at how our religious minds jump to conclusions on hearsay instead of investigating the Word of God for ourselves under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Psalm 90 is a clear discussion about the spiritual state of the Israelites while travelling through the desert due to their own choice for forty years. Moses is actually lamenting the fact that none of the people who refused to trust God will have the privilege to enter Canaan. Moses is doing some calculations and finds that those people will have a life expectancy of only 70 to 80 years before they have to leave this earth because of their own choice, not wanting to enter the Promised Land, stuck in their unbelief. (Also see Hebrews 3:7-12). In verse twelve we clearly see that a wicked heart is an unbelieving heart. An unbelieving heart is not willing to receive anything from God; it always thinks it knows more than God or that God does not really know what is good for us. What made God angry was actually the human arrogance and ignorance.

Today after the Crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of humanity, there is no anger and wrath from Father God’s side towards humanity. We are free, forgiven, loved, received His mercy and grace in abundance! We are not living under God’s wrath or anger and therefore the life expectancy of the Israelites in the desert has no effect on us any longer.
Moses himself was 120 years old when he died without being old, for the Word says in Deuteronomy 34:7, “his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated.” So what is it with us that we all grow old so quickly and keep on proclaiming the life expectancy of people who lived under God’s anger? Shouldn’t we start to proclaim the message of God’s favour upon His children?

What about our life expectancy then for today? I am coming to the conclusion that we have a choice and say in the number of our days. “So teach us to number our days, which may get us (gain us) a heart of wisdom.” Ps 90:12 the Amplified Bible Version.

Wisdom means to accept the authority of the Word (Jesus) in our lives, gain understanding, knowing Him personally as our friend and brother, trusting upon Him totally and completely within every area of our being. Knowing that He is for us and not against us, knowing that our sins are forgiven, we are therefore without sin and guilt. “When He had by offering Himself accomplished our cleansing of sins and riddance of guilt.” (Hebrews 1:3c) “In accordance with this will of God, we have been made holy, consecrated and sanctified through the body of Jesus Christ, the Anointed One.” (See Hebrews 10:10) The impact of what Jesus has accomplished on our behalf is that He made us sinless and guiltless, He made us holy, thus we are no rotten sinners any longer without hope, once a sinner always a sinner. From the moment we accept this gift of salvation we have the very life of God in us, we are born from above, new creatures, all things have been made new in us.

You needn’t even try to remember your entire list of wrong doings or our sin list to be forgiven; for the sins of the world have been blotted out on the cross more than 2000 years ago and we are free to live.

Now because we have set our love upon Him, He delivered us and seated us on high, because we know and understand His Name, having a personal knowledge of His mercy (pardoned while we were on death row), love and kindness. We know we can trust and rely on Him because we know He will never forsake us, no never! We will call upon Him and He will answer us, He will be with us in any kind of trouble even sickness and cancer, and He (Jesus) will deliver us and honour us. How will He honour us? With long life will He satisfy us and show us His salvation. (See Psalm 91: 14-16).

Yes I know for sure that it is God’s will for us to be healed and blessed with a long good life for His glory through us.

Some cleaning-up procedures!

An infinite God can give all of Himself to each of his children.
He does not give Himself that each may have a part, but to each one He gives all of Himself as fully as if there were no others. – A.W. Tozer

I want to confirm these words of Tozer because I experience my Father’s full love and commitment to me day by day. Every day is a new day filled with His loving kindness, grace (free unmerited love and favour of God, the source of all benefits we receive from God), and mercy (implies benevolence, tenderness, mildness, compassion, to be pardoned).I know with confidence what Peter has written in his letter;
1Pe 2:22 Scripture says, "He didn't commit any sin. No lies ever came out of his mouth." (Isaiah 53:9) (23) People shouted at him and made fun of him. But he didn't do the same back to them. He suffered. But he didn't say that bad things would happen to them. Instead, he trusted in the One who judges fairly. (24) He himself carried our sins in his body on the cross. He did it so that we would die as far as sins are concerned. Then we would lead godly lives. His wounds have made us whole.

During this last month loads of things happened to me. The dentist had to do major cleaning–up of amalgam fillings in my teeth. It is a specialised procedure and one should make sure that the dentist is trained and has experience in safe amalgam removal. My throat and nostrils are blocked by a rubber type of tent ‘rubber dam’ as they call it so that the amalgam and mercury vapour are prevented to go down my throat during the process. You can become very ill if this stuff goes down your throat or nostrils. This rubber protection is pushed over and through the teeth which expose only the teeth worked on by the dentist. We are still busy with it but the end of this procedure is in sight!!! The amalgam in my teeth played a roll in toxins being released into my body over a period of many years.

According to a health and medical article I read the so-called silver fillings contain less than 3% silver but more than 50% mercury. The FDA of the US changed their stand and acknowledged neurotoxin effects on the body and foetuses after an out-of-court settlement.

The American Dental Association advises special handling and storage precautions of the material which is marked as Poison. Residue waste from the mixed product should be stored in sealed jars and disposed as hazardous material by special licensed companies. If this product is left long enough in the jars, the vapours eat a hole in the top of the storage jar; something to think about. Does the dental profession regard our mouths as a safe place to store this mercury amalgam? Some questions to be asked if we visit your dentist!

We as the patients should wake up, do more research ourselves and ask questions about medication being prescribed or purchased over the counter. Cultivate the habit of reading labels and ingredient lists of the products you buy so frequently from chemists and supermarkets. There is enough knowledge available to us through books and the internet; we don’t have to stay ignorant or lacking information.

I know that many people may think I am fishing in the wrong pond, but hey, remember I have been diagnosed with cancer (one of the possible diseases on the list of the FDA for amalgam users). The source of the cancer is still not clear because everything responsible for this type of cancer was absent in my every day lifestyle. Therefore I will have to investigate all other possibilities as I have no intention of accepting the verdict of an incurable disease or premature death. At this stage I am doing very well, having high levels of healthy energy, no pain, putting on weight, having a healthy complexion, really not even knowing that I am suppose to be ill!

I am so thankful towards my Heavenly Father for His goodness towards me in Christ Jesus.

Sunny South Africa!!!

Yes, I am in sunny South Africa and enjoying my visit immensely. We have visited our Mom, and saw some family the first two weekends before my husband returned to the UK. I stay with my sister and family in Klerksdorp.

This is not to make you jealous but we experience wonderful weather. It is winter and our daily temperature is between 24-27 (Celcius) degrees. It is not so hot you just want to die or hide from the heat. The skies are clear although the weatherman brought us news of cold creping up north. Cape Town is having bad, wet, stormy weather, although this part of the country is wet and rainy in the winter season.

Enough of the weather, I am sure you want to hear about the post cancer treatment I am receiving here in South Africa. Concerning the chemo treatment I have received in the UK, I had the maximum possible treatment. They could give me nothing more though the cancer indicator was still above clear. I do not believe in being in remission, I believe in being totally clean from cancer to the point where the body’s own immunity has taken over the function of protecting the body against the invasion of cancer and other invaders. Therefore I am receiving very high dosages of intravenous Vitamin C, Vitamin K3, B12 and Alpha lipoic acid. Just after that I have an Ozone treatment to ensure further enhancement of the detoxifying process. This is done by removing blood from the body and then adding Ozone to it, afterwards administering it back to the body intravenously. This Ozone treatment is also available in Germany.

I am still on a very strict organic diet and clean water (no tap water at all) and will stay on this for the rest of my life. Healthy lifestyle and eating habits is here to stay as part of my life until the end of my hundred and ten years on earth!

So far so good I am doing excellently and feeling great. I have lots and lots of energy, swallowing even better and better by the day, eating like a beast, picking up wait, and yes my hair is growing back like fertilised grass! I am swallowing my natural capsules, essential oils, vitamins, minerals, lots of green stuff daily without a problem. Adding to the great eating is the delicious fruit salads!!!

I know that I have been totally healed and set free as it is daily confirmed in my body.

Jeremiah 32:27 (Amplified Bible)

²⁷Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh; is there anything too hard for Me?

All praise to my Father God, Jesus Christ who paid for my diseases already 2000 years ago confirmed and sealed by the Holy Spirit living inside of me.

Isaiah 57:19b (Amplified Bible)

¹⁹ I (the Lord) create the fruit of his lips, and I will heal him [make his lips blossom anew with speech in thankful praise]

It is important to realise that the outcome of our words will create the fruit in our bodies. E.g. I declare I am healed and the fruit of my body IS healing.

Proverbs 18:20-21 (Amplified Bible)

²⁰A man's self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].

²¹Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it.

Matthew 12:37 (Amplified Bible)

³⁷For by your words you will be justified and acquitted and by your words you will be condemned and sentenced.

Remember Jesus has paid the price for us, take heart and be of good cheer as Jesus said to His disciples when He walked on the water. Jesus is walking on top of any of our storms, believe Him, He is the Word of God!

Healed in Jesus Name!

I would like to record this date 28 May 2009 a significant date of celebration! A celebration of God's goodness, mercy, power of His Word and the power of Jesus body to heal us according to;

1Peter2:24

24 He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; by his wounds you have been healed.

I quote the results of the scan…’The primary lesion is no longer visible. All the visible liver metastases have shrunk significantly.’
I am rejoicing and so my husband as we read the report and letters to us.
Some of the first Bible verses God gave me to stand on and I declare it to me on a daily basis were
Psalm 118:17 (New King James Version)
17 I shall not die, but live and declare the works of the LORD.

Psalm 103:1- 5
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul; and all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Psalm 107:20 (New King James Version)
20 He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.

Throughout the last six months God’s Word never failed to lift me up and carry me every day. I am daily aware of the cloud of prayer witnesses God surrounds me with and I thank Him for you and your dedication to stand with us.

I also want to thank God for the medical team and His direction in certain decisions taken through treatment. They were always friendly and positive. I want to emphasise that the Lord carried me through this time and He is still doing it today. His Word will always be a lamp to my feet and a light unto my path.

Psalm 119:105 (New International Version)
105 Your Word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path.

I will continue to rejoice in my Lord, join with me in rejoicing! I will continue to declare with my lips His goodness unto me.

Philippians 4 (New International Version)

4 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! 5 Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. 6 Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7 And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.

I would like to close with joy in my heart towards my Father and His Word declaring the outcome of His promises.
2 Corinthians 1:20 (New King James Version)
20 For all the promises of God in Him are Yes, and in Him Amen, to the glory of God through us.
