"Doug Blakemore : praying for Cristy's cancer to be removed"


Dear Doug,

Please let Cristy know that we are praying for the cancer to be removed from her neck and back , and that there be no remnant of it left anywhere within her body.

My own sister-in-law is a cancer survivor so hope is strong in regards to healing.

It seems that cancer is epidemic in these last days for several reasons. The important thing is to build up one's faith and hope for healing by reading the testimonies of other cancer-survivors. That gives edification and great encouragement.
"They overcame him ( satan) ... by the word of their testimony". Rev. 12:11

We will keep Kristy's parents in our prayers as well for the strength to bear with this and to believe that God will intervene miraculously . "More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of."

We pray that all three -- Cristy, Aron and Rita -- all know the Lord Jesus Christ as their personal Lord and Savior. If they do, then they will turn to Him in this need. James 5: 13--16.

" Himself took our infirmities. and bare our sicknesses" Matthew 8:17

"By His stripes we are healed" Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24

Thank you Doug for bringing this to our attention.
It is a privilege to pray for others, to show our brotherly love, care and concern by calling upon the Lord in their behalf. I personally feel that while it is good to send knee-mail to the Lord over each prayer-request sent into the Doves, it is also important to send a message back to the one requesting prayer, that they may know of our intercession and thereby be blessed, encouraged and strengthened by it. While we are still in the body, a hard copy of our concern works wonders.

Many times we post prophecy news to the Doves; yet I wonder if the Lord isn't more concerned with our loving interaction with one another through prayer.
"And though I have the gift of prophecy and understand all mysteries and all knowledge ;
and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains,
and have not charity , I am nothing." 1 Corinthians 13:2.

That adjusts one's perspective about these Last days and how we are relating one to another.

In Him,
Jim Goodrick
