Can we pray for other sick people while you are not yet healed?

Yes.

Dodie Osteen went out to pray for the sick while she was still suffering from cancer. Some people encouraged me to pray for other people, but I haven't done it consistently.


In Genesis Abraham and Sarah were told by God's messengers that Sarah was going to have a baby a year later. They were too old to have a baby in human's eyes. After this Abraham still lied to Abimelek and told him Sarah was his sister. Abimelek took Sarah in, but was warned in his dream not to touch her. Then Abraham prayed for Abimelek and his household, and the wombs were opened and they could have babies again!

Abraham prayed for others so that they could have children while he was still childless!

I am learning that sometimes testimonies causes others to receive healing.

Let's have more confidence in God and pray for others.

one year!

It has been over a year since I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer. It was September 1, 2010.  I remember walking down the street near my office then.  This year, on 9/1/2011, I walked on the same street, full of gratitude.

Today I went in for my maintenance medicine. The blood test results and my blood pressure were perfect! I am in "partial remission" according to the doctor. I am on my way to a total remission. Praise the Lord!

When all fails, remember our God specializes in creating a path when there seems to be no hope.

One day at a time

In the very beginning of my journey of healing, I decided to choose life. (I learned it from Dodie Osteen's book.) Since then I have been choosing life one day at a time in the best way I know how. I wish I kept a journey every single day but I didn't because I was trying to just live literally everyday. Most of my energy went to just to eat well and sleep so that I could have enough energy to go to work and do the best I could. I never felt very sick, and I seemed to be living a regular life, but now I look back and I realize I had much less energy.

Now I am trying to write down all the scriptures I received from the LORD in one notebook.  Reading the scriptures with a Hebrew dictionary has given me great insight. I would like to share in my blog, but I haven't been organized enough to do so. I am happy to read those scriptures, to repeat and to think about it over and over. My heart becomes "full."

ひつじさん

ブログでひつじさんに出会いました。
今もひつじさんの癒しを信じていのります。

どんな状態であろうと息をしていれば決して遅くはないと、韓国のチョー先生は言っています。
言ったからといってそうならないこともあるけれど、私はそれでも信じることを選びます。

希望のないときにこそ信じるのが信仰。神様は奇跡をおこなう専門家なのです。
父なる神様、あなたの御言葉を信じています。

I pray for this man I saw on a blog and got to know a little. I pray for his healing, still believing.
I pray for a friend at church who started chemo therapy.
I pray for my friend's husband who is about to start chemo therapy.
I pray for a woman who called me because she was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
It is not too late as long as you are still breathing, says Dr. Cho from South Korea.
It does not always happen just because you declare something, but I choose to believe.

Faith is to believe when there seems to be no hope. God's specialty is to perform miracles.
My Father, I believe in your words.

Well, the result was the same as last time. The tumor size is the same (abut 1 inch dia.), and it is still sucking up the sugar water (chemical they injected) but not much. I reject to dwell in this mode. I say no thank you to cooperate with cancer.

I will wait for the LORD.
All his promises are "yes." So I say "Amen!" through Jesus.

PETスキャンの結果は、前回と同じでした。がんのサイズは同じで、血液に注入された光る砂糖水（専門用語がわからない）を吸い込む量も同じ。大量ではありませんでしたが。でもこのままのモードでいるつもりはありません。がんと共存はしません。

私は主を待ち望みます。
かみさまの約束はすべてなされますから、私はただアーメンといってイエス様の御名によって同意するのみ。

August 4th, 2011

I saw my radiology tech for PET scan for the fourth time today. I remember the very first PET scan for my body. The tech looked very solemn from the distance and did not even look at me after the first scan. I felt like it was not so good. Today I went in as a very healthy person even though I don't have the proof yet. But everyday since I was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, I have been doing good. It has been an amazing journey. Our God is an awesome God. He is good. All Jesus did was the Father's will. Jesus always healed people.

Advanced case of leprosy - Luke 5:12

This was the scripture for my devotional today. God can heal even the advanced case of leprosy!

Luke 5:12-13

New Living Translation (NLT)

Jesus Heals a Man with Leprosy

 ¹² In one of the villages, Jesus met a man with an advanced case of leprosy. When the man saw Jesus, he bowed with his face to the ground, begging to be healed. “Lord,” he said, “if you are willing, you can heal me and make me clean.” ¹³ Jesus reached out and touched him. “I am willing,” he said. “Be healed!” And instantly the leprosy disappeared.

癒しの祈りは続く。。。/ my healing prayer continues...

５０肩らしき痛みが去年から直らないので今日専門家にいきました。
昨日はPhysical Therapy.
今日のアポではレントゲンをとり、その画面を先生が見せてくれました。そのとき肩はなんともおもわなかったけど、そのとなりに例のTumorがはっきりくっきり写っていて、そんなにはっきり見えたのははじめてだったので思わず見入ってしまいました。

シーンとした肺の中にじっとしていたかたまり。

もっともっとしっかりとイエス様のところに、そして御言葉の上にたとうと、心を新たにした日でした。

I went to a physical therapy yesterday for a frozen shoulder. It has been going on since lase December. It hurt a lot and I asked her to stop at the therapy!  Then I  went to an orthopedist today. They took an X-ray of my right shoulder. When the doctor showed me the X-ray on the computer screen, my eyes were glued to the tumor in my lung. I could see it clearly due to the location of the tumor.  I had never seen it so clearly. It looked like it was floating silently in my lung. I renewed my vow to keep standing on Jesus and the word of God again.

God's word will never fail.

How we live, according to Deuteronomy 30:6

And the Lord your God will circumcise your heart and the heart of your offspring, so that you will love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, that you may live.    - Deuteronomy 30:6

I don't know exactly how God will circumcise my heart, but I understand that it is the matter of the heart and not the outward "Christian" things we do. Just like what Jesus teaches us. Where the Law says not to murder, Jesus says that hating someone is not different from killing someone. Law could hide your heart. Our hearts don't have to be involved when we deal with Law.  God wants us to open our hearts.

circumcision of our hearts =
enables us to love God with all our hearts and souls=
we begin to live (really live)

The enemy wants to destroy and kill, but Jesus came to give us life.

my understanding of Exodus 15:26

If you diligently, diligently listen/harken
to the voice of the LORD your God
and do what is right in his sight
and give ear/listen/weigh/ponder/give good heed
to what he says
and hedge about/protect all his bound (=engraved law)
I will cause NONE of the diseases/infirmities upon you,
which I cast in upon the Egyptians;
for I am the LORD Rapha who make you whole/heal.

God loves us so much.
I still don't understand where to draw a line and how to read the law in the OT after knowing Jesus but I see the Father's heart that loves us so much even in the law.
