over coming the odd

by Frankie Beatrice Lavender
(SHREVEPORT.LA 71108)

I was diagnois with breast cancer in the year of 2004.i felt like like my life was over but god step in and said to me dont you give up all things is possible and then my treatment with chemo begin i almost gave up i thought i couldn't do it,i almost quit i thought my effort weren't worth it, i thought i'd would not make it i was worry i felt trapped beneath a mountain of despair then i remember in {1 peter5:7} god said cast your worries on him.so once my sickness kicked in i begin to pray this prayer evey morning.

when the road of life is hard,but one we must travel.when you seem to be traveling in the dark and don't think you can survive its seem so hard look to jesus and know that he has been down this road.we have the spirtual and emotional tools we also have to carry the cross but not alone.

yes it may be a long road with the cross but it is one we can and will take evenwith a joyful heart full of gratitude because jesus will be with us.

Frankie,
Your message about over coming the odd is very powerful. It has given me some relief at a time that I really need it. My sister was recently diagnosed with terminal cancer and been given less than 6 months to live. She seems to have accepted it because her faith is strong. However my faith has been shaken but not broken because I don't want to lose her. As you said in your message, we should everything in the hand of Jesus. If he takes her home now, we know she is going to a better place. If he decides to let us enjoy her presence for a little while longer, we will be happy with that as well. Thank you for your message.

Jesus is the Same, Yesterday, Today, and Forevermore
by: Erika

Our God is an Awesome God...God is good and His mercy endures forever. What a Mighty God we serve. Frankie to God be the Glory for what He has done in your life as Jesus Christ paid the price for our sicknesses and diseases and it is by Jesus stripes that you were healed as Isaiah 53 declares. Frankie you are a living testimony of the Faithfulness of our God. God is not a man that He should lie. nor is He the Son of Man that He should have to repent. I thank God for Him giving you His Strength to go through the valley that you went through to battle Breast Cancer. But God showed the enemy that the Battle was not yours, but the battle was the Lord. Frankie because of your Faith in God, and Trust in the Lord, God showed up and showed out in your life and on your behalf....God has allowed you to come through this tribulation victoriously. And thanks be to God, who always causes you to triump in Christ Jesus, our Lord....It is such a good thing to be in the land of the living. When the enemy comes in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. God will watch and perform his Word and His Word will not return unto void and will accomplish all that He sent it out to accomplish, as He pleases. No Weapon formed against you shall prosper, because Greater is He that is within you than he that is in the world. What the devil meant for evil to kill you, God turn around for your Good. Now God is using your Testimony of His Goodness so that others who are going thru can put their trust, faith, hope, and confidence, in the One and Only True and Living God. Jesus came that you might have life and life more abundantly. God gave His Son a name that is above all names, and at the Name of Jesus, (demons, sickness, disease,) every knee shall bow and declare that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father. When God speaks a rhema word to you, and as you have proven that Nothing is to hard for God. Because God is able. Frankie, continue to use your testimony about the Goodness of the Lord to encourage others, that God is no respect of persons. Because God is a rewarder of them that diligently seek Him. I thank God, that God strengthen you, by clothing you with His strength as Jesus through you defied death at the hands of the enemy. Death is an enemy, and Frankie you Fought and continue to fight the good fight of faith. Which shows that you know that all things work together for the good of them who love the Lord who are the called according to His purpose. To God be the Glory for saving your life, and your soul....Bless the Matchless name of our Lord and Savior Jesur Christ and God the Father, and God the Holy Spirit. Glory to God!!!! If God be for you, who can be against you!!!!

I love you Erika

by: Erika Elliott

God is so good! What a Mighty, Awesome God we served. To God be the Glory for everything he has done in your life. Frankie, you are a living Testimony of the Faithfulness of our One and Only True and Living God...The Bible says that when the enemy comes in like a flood, The Spirit of the Lord will lift up a standard against him. Thank God for the Faith that you have in God and God's mercy, and grace the enabled you to go through this trial VICtorious. Jesus said that I am come that you may have life and that life more abundantly. When God speaks to you and gives you a rhema Word, God has proven that he will watch and perform over his Word and His Word will not return unto Him void and will accomplish all that He intends for it to accomplish as He pleases. For if God be for you who can be against you. I thank God for this opportunity that he gave you to allow the enemy to know that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and that You shall live and not die and declare the works of the Lord. Jesus said, only Believe. And nothing is impossible to them that Believe, God is also using you to show the Joy of the Lord is your strength, and the laughter is medicine for your soul. Frankie I thank God that His purposes and plans has manifested itself in your life and God is not allowing anything to harm you or no evil to come near you as God Himself orders your steps in His Word because you have put Your Faith, Confidence, and Trust in God and His Son (Jesus Christ our Lord). Thank God (all forms of sickness, Breast Cancer....etc...) has to bow at the name of Jesus. I thank God that through this miracle of healing you from which was meant to kill you, God showed up and showed out on your behalf. I thank God that you continued to fight the good fight of faith. And thanks be to God, who always causes you to triumph in Christ Jesus our Lord!!!!With God All things are possible to them that believe. God is using your testimony to encourage and bring hope to others who are going through similar trials, to let them know that the devil is a defeated foe and death is an enemy...and the key is to keep your mind on Jesus, having an attitude of gratitude, counting it all joy because God will never leave you, nor forsake you..... Frankie, God gave His Son a name that is above all names, and it is at the Name of Jesus that every knee must bow, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. As God has given you this open door God is getting the glory out of your life as you show forth is goodness and His mercy endures forever, and to fght the good fight of faith. Jesus says I am the Vine and you are the branch apart from me you can do nothing..He says it is in me that you move, you breath and you have your being. Frankie, Through reading your Testimony, you have inspired others THAT THEY TO SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE AND DECLARE THE WORKS OF THE LORD!! To God be the Glory.

I love You,

Your Sister in Christ

Truly a Blessing!!!!
by: Brandi

I enjoyed your testimony. It was truly a blessing to know that GOD has truly blessed you and allowed you to over come the odds. God gives us TEST so that we can be a TESTIMONY to someone else. Just remember John 14:14 says anything you ask in my name I will do. Just remember to trust God and cast all your cares on him. I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills from whench cometh my help my help cometh from the Lord. (Psalms 121)

Hold On
by: Anonymous

There was times i felt like giving up and throwing in the towel.Have you ever been so discourage and said what the use in praying.have the devil ever attacked you when you were already feeling low and you said to yourself now hold on how much lower can you go.Then the lord spoke to you in the still of the night and said if you trust in me i will make everything alright.When your problem seen hard to bear hold on no matter how down you get just hold on an be strong because you can make it.The road is not easy no one said it would be every thing will be alright if you just hold on through the night.Joy gonna come in the morning light you can make it.Just remember gods greatest power can be displayed in our biggest weakness when all is lost remember that you haven't lost jesus run to him.
