in Colorectal Cancer #1

I was getting chemo today and there was a former patient visiting and talking with the nurses. She was Jamaican or maybe African (not good with accents).  Anyway, I'm not the most religious guy in the world but my wife is a devout catholic so I go to church with her and the kids. Back to the story. This lady was walking by me so I smiled and nodded at her, and she looked directly at me and said  "you are healed by the power of Christ". Not may you be healed or god bless you or I'll pray for you. I felt a chill go up my spine!!!  She said it just like she was stating the sky is blue. Who knows if it comes to pass but I had never felt a more powerful sense than I did from this woman. Just thought I would share.

    Lovely

    What a wonderful experience.

    Why not act as though it is true. Obviously you still go thruogh your treatments, but act as though her words are true, and go from there.

    I'll keep taking treatments

    I'll keep taking treatments of course but if I miraculously get cured I know it's not the drugs. They are keeping things stable but not providing anything close to remission or cure.

    Blessings

    May many Blessings come from this incident.  There are Angels walking all amoung you and this just might have been one of them.  Wishing you the best and hope the feeling continues.

    Wow

    Amazing story.  I agree act as if it's true.  There are healers in the world, she may just be one of them.

    Great story. I do believe

    Great story. I do believe that Christ is with us and heals through others. I hope that if you are healed in the physical sense you will spread the word.

    My grandmother used to

     

     

    My grandmother used to say "Pray for courage and then act as if you've received it.'  Same as what others have expressed "act as if it's true".   It seems that what you felt is as important as what this woman said. Love the story.
