As He is, so are we in this world. - 1 John 4:17
Let me share with you how Megan, a precious lady from Minnesota, confronted her fears by speaking the Word of God for the area of her need and saw the power of God released in her situation. I’ll let her tell you her story:
I was diagnosed with throat and neck cancer. After a series of treatments, I recovered and tests showed that there was no more cancer. However, two years later, the doctors found a mass in my throat again.
At that time, I'd begun watching Joseph Prince on television. He shared a testimony of a woman who had taken hold of 1 John 4:17 - “as He is, so are we in this world” - for herself and ended up not needing to have any surgery.
So I took hold of this Scripture for myself as well. My first thought after hearing the doctor's diagnosis was, “As Jesus is, so am I in this world. Since He does not have cancer, then neither do I.”
Fear tried to enter my thoughts over the next several days, but I believed and kept declaring 1 John 4:17 as I was being told that I might have cancer again. I was advised to have a biopsy done and was also told that a bilateral tonsillectomy, a procedure to remove the tonsils, would be needed.
As I was being prepped for surgery, I was asked if there was anything I wanted to say. I said, “Yes. When the doctor comes in to do this surgery, she will say that the surgery is not needed and there is no cancer.”
And that is exactly what happened! The tonsillectomy was cancelled because the biopsy showed that I did not have cancer! When told the good news I smiled and said “Thank You, Jesus!”
I have your book, 100 Days of Favor, which has a page that teaches on 1 John 4:17. I keep a bookmark on that page and read it often.
I am continually being set free by the gospel of grace. Thank you, Pastor Prince!
Praise the Lord - what an awesome testimony of the power of the written Word released through our mouths! Beloved, what the Lord did for Megan, He can and will do for you too!
