Overcoming Skin Cancer with Grace

The Shadow of Restoration: Receiving Your Free Gift of Wholeness

When you are navigating a diagnosis like skin cancer, the world can suddenly feel very heavy. You might be focused on a changing mole, a sore that refuses to heal, or a patch of skin that has become scaly and discolored. The medical journey often feels like a series of tasks, appointments, and burdens that you must carry. However, there is a profound spiritual reality that offers a different path: a path where the weight of “getting well” is lifted off your shoulders and replaced by an unearned gift of grace.

A Power That Requires No Effort

In the early accounts of the restoration movement, we see a level of power so phenomenal that even a shadow passing over a sick person was enough to release healing. There was no complex ritual required from the sufferer; they simply existed in the presence of a life-giving force. This reminds us that healing is not something you have to manufacture through your own strength or “goodness.”

If you have felt that you aren’t “good enough” to be whole, or that your imperfections have somehow disqualified you, let that thought go. We do not receive based on our own merit, but through the mercy of a High Priest who has already passed into the heavens on our behalf. Just as the sun shines on the earth without the earth having to earn the light, the gift of health is being extended to you freely.

The Will to Be Whole

Consider the account of the man who approached the Master with a skin condition that had isolated him from society. He didn’t ask if the power existed; he simply asked if there was a willingness to use it. The response was immediate and clear: “Of course I will. Be healed.”

This same willingness exists for you today. You do not need to wrestle with tradition or try to explain away the possibility of a miracle. Whether you are dealing with basal cell changes, melanoma, or any other growth, the heart of the Creator is toward your restoration. You are invited to “gambol like calves released from the stall”—to experience a joy and a lightness that comes when the “stall” of sickness is opened and you are set free to leap for joy.

“I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord.” (Jeremiah 30:17)

Removing the Responsibility from the Sick

One of the greatest misconceptions in recovery is that the sick person must “work” to get healed. This is a burden you were never meant to carry. In the same way that a shepherd leads his sheep to green pastures, you are being led. The sheep do not have to create the grass; they simply follow the voice of the one who provides it.

You can stop the “wrestling match” with your own doubts. If you feel weak, or if the symptoms of skin cancer—such as a pearly bump or a firm, red nodule—cause you fear, remember that your peace was bought at a high price so that you could have it for free. The “chastisement of our peace” was laid upon another, meaning your mental and physical tranquility is an inherited right, not a hard-won prize.

“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.” (Psalm 23:1)

When the scripture says you “shall not want,” it means you shall not lack. You do not lack the strength to finish your course. You do not lack the cellular restoration needed for your skin to become clear and healthy again. You do not lack the “mini resurrection” power that sustains your body until it is fully transformed.

A Table of Abundance

You are invited to sit at a table that has been prepared specifically for you. This table is not filled with “dessert” or “pie” for a select few; it is filled with the “bread” of life that belongs to every child in the family. You don’t have to push through a crowd or perform a task to earn a seat. You are called by name.

Expect a “mini quickening” in your immune system and your skin cells. Just as the shadow of old brought a point of contact for power, let this moment be your point of contact. Let the responsibility of the “how” and the “when” fall away. Your job is not to heal yourself; your role is simply to hold fast to the confession that you are cared for by a Good Shepherd.

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.” (Malachi 4:2)

Walking in the Blessing

The choice has been made, and the blessing has been set before you. It is a flow of increase and help that enters your life not because of your perfection, but because of His promise. You are a “Jew inwardly,” a part of a covenant that guarantees victory and triumph.

Do not let the “Greek humanistic philosophy” of the world convince you that you must stay sick to somehow prove your character. There is more glory in your wholeness than in your suffering. The same power that raised the dead and cleared the skin of the leper is stretching forth its hand to you right now.

Expect the gift. It is free, it is unearned, and it is yours.

Coeliac Disease and Gluten: Healing Prayer

Leave a reply

In the Bible, healing is a profound sign of God’s power and mercy. Jesus healed many who were sick, and His apostles carried forward this healing ministry as a testament to the Kingdom of God. The Scriptures remind us that physical healing and spiritual restoration often go hand in hand. As we consider the condition of coeliac disease and the role of gluten in our diet, we can find both practical and spiritual lessons about God’s love for our bodies and His desire for our well-being.

What is Coeliac Disease?

Coeliac disease is a common autoimmune condition where the immune system in a person’s intestine (gut) reacts when they eat gluten. This causes chronic inflammation, leading to damage in the lining of the small intestine. In Bible times, they may not have known the term “coeliac disease,” but they certainly understood what it meant to suffer from chronic illnesses. Jesus met people in every stage of sickness, including those with hidden, ongoing afflictions like the woman who had been bleeding for twelve years (Luke 8:43-48). Just as He cared for them, He cares for us in our struggles, even those that are less visible.

What is Gluten?

Gluten is a protein found in wheat, barley, and rye. In the modern diet, gluten is in many foods: bread, pasta, cereals, and baked goods. For people with coeliac disease, gluten acts like a trigger. When they eat gluten, their immune system attacks the small intestine, causing pain, diarrhea, fatigue, and other health issues. God has given us wisdom and knowledge to understand how our bodies work and how to avoid what harms us. Just as Daniel chose to eat foods that honored God and kept him healthy (Daniel 1:8-16), we can make wise choices to protect our bodies.

Healing in Scripture

The Bible is full of examples of God’s healing power. One of the most famous is when Jesus healed the man who was born blind (John 9:1-7). This man didn’t know why he was blind, but Jesus saw beyond the cause to reveal God’s glory. In coeliac disease, people may not know why they have the condition—often it’s a mix of genetic and environmental factors—but we trust that God can bring good even from illness. Psalm 103:2-3 says, “Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits—who forgives all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases.”

Faith, Diet, and Wisdom

While we trust in God’s power to heal, we also recognize that He gives us knowledge and tools. Coeliac disease requires a lifelong gluten-free diet. Avoiding gluten is the only current treatment to prevent chronic inflammation and promote healing in the gut. In 1 Corinthians 6:19-20, Paul reminds us, “Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit? … Therefore honor God with your bodies.” Taking care of our diet is a way to honor God and be good stewards of the bodies He gave us.

In the Old Testament, God gave the Israelites dietary laws to protect their health (Leviticus 11). While we are not under those laws today, the principle of caring for our bodies and eating in ways that promote health still applies. God wants us to live in wholeness—physically and spiritually.

The Role of Prayer and Medicine

We should not see faith and medical advice as opposites. God has blessed us with doctors, nutritionists, and scientists who help us manage conditions like coeliac disease. Jesus said in Mark 2:17, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick.” We honor God by seeking the help we need.

We also pray in faith. James 5:14-15 says, “Is anyone among you sick? Let them call the elders of the church to pray over them … And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well.” Prayer is a powerful part of healing. Even when healing is gradual or when managing a condition like coeliac disease, prayer brings us peace and reminds us that God is with us.

Living Gluten-Free: A Modern Example of Healing

Living with coeliac disease means avoiding gluten carefully. This might feel restrictive, but it’s an act of obedience to the knowledge God has given us. Just as Naaman had to wash seven times in the Jordan to be healed (2 Kings 5:10-14), following medical wisdom can be part of the healing process.

For those newly diagnosed with coeliac disease, it can be overwhelming. Jesus said in Matthew 11:28-30, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.” We bring our struggles, including dietary challenges, to Him, trusting that He will strengthen us. With God’s help and wise choices, people with coeliac disease can live healthy, full lives.

Healing for the Whole Person

God cares not just for our physical bodies but for our whole being. Isaiah 53:5 prophesies about Jesus: “By His wounds we are healed.” This healing includes forgiveness of sin, emotional restoration, and sometimes physical healing. For those with coeliac disease, healing might not mean an instant cure but rather the strength to follow a gluten-free lifestyle, peace in the midst of challenges, and the knowledge of God’s love.

A Future Hope

Ultimately, we look forward to the day when all diseases, including coeliac disease, will be no more. Revelation 21:4 promises, “He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain.” Until then, we honor God with our lives, trusting that He walks with us in every condition.

Encouragement for Today

If you or someone you love has coeliac disease, know that God sees you and cares for you. Psalm 147:3 says, “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.” He is with you in every meal you prepare, every label you read, and every prayer you offer. In Jesus, we have the ultimate healer who understands suffering and brings peace.

Understanding Your Spiritual Authority

Leave a reply

In the Christian walk, there are moments when we question our ability to face spiritual battles, especially when confronted with life’s challenges. Yet, the truth is that God has granted believers authority to resist the devil and overcome obstacles in life. The Lord has not promised to intervene for us without us doing our part. He has empowered us with the authority to stand against the devil’s schemes, and this is a power that we must learn to wield.

We are often told that the Lord will intervene, but Scripture shows us that we are the ones called to resist the devil. James 4:7 clearly says, “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” This is not a passive command—it’s an active one. We are not meant to sit idly by while the devil wreaks havoc in our lives. Instead, we must stand firm in faith and resist him.

The Apostle Peter affirms this in 1 Peter 5:8-9, where he writes, “Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist steadfast in the faith.” Notice, the enemy seeks to devour those whom he may, but there are those he may not. This implies that our resistance—our stand in faith—determines whether or not the enemy has access to our lives. Therefore, it is essential for us to recognize our authority and resist the devil.

This authority does not only pertain to spiritual matters. We see this authority reflected in our health, our homes, and our relationships. Diseases and afflictions are often the tools the enemy uses to destroy lives, but we are not helpless. Jesus demonstrated this during His earthly ministry, casting out demons and rebuking sickness and disease. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we repeatedly see Jesus using His authority to rebuke the works of the devil and set people free.

For example, when Peter’s mother-in-law was sick with a fever, Jesus didn’t pray to the Father for healing—He rebuked the fever and it left her. Jesus didn’t wait for divine intervention. He took authority over the situation. We should adopt this same approach, using the power given to us in Christ. Instead of passively waiting for God to heal us, we should rise up and resist the enemy, commanding disease to leave in the name of Jesus.

Standing in Faith

The challenge many face today is a lack of understanding about the authority they’ve been given. Many people live in defeat, believing that they have no power over the devil or the troubles in their lives. This is far from the truth. When we accept Jesus as our Savior, we are not only forgiven but empowered to stand against the forces of darkness. We are made more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8:37).

But how often do we rely on our own understanding or feelings? We may talk about symptoms, fears, and what others have experienced, forgetting that there is a spiritual realm where our authority holds power. The enemy thrives on confusion, disease, and destruction. When we face challenges, we must recognize them for what they are: not random events, but spiritual attacks meant to steal, kill, and destroy. The devil is behind these afflictions, and he must be resisted with authority.

Consider the example of Brother Smith Wigglesworth, who once saw a woman trying to get her dog to leave the train depot. The dog refused to obey, wagging its tail in defiance. The woman finally shouted, “Get! Get back to the house!” And the dog obeyed. Brother Wigglesworth saw this as a parallel to how we must deal with the devil. It’s not about being loud or forceful—it’s about meaning what we say and believing in the power of our words. When we resist the devil with conviction, he must flee.

This truth was emphasized by Kenneth E. Hagin in his book, I Believe in Visions. He shares how the Lord gave him insight into the anointing to heal and cast out demons. One such instance involved a man with tuberculosis of the spine. The man had been declared beyond medical help, but when Brother Hagin laid hands on him, he recognized the presence of an evil spirit oppressing the man’s body. Hagin commanded the spirit to leave in the name of Jesus, but doubt crept in. The man’s condition didn’t improve right away, and Brother Hagin, unknowingly acting in unbelief, questioned whether the command had worked.

But when Hagin asked the man to try bending again, the man still couldn’t move. Hagin laid hands on him again and repeated the command. Finally, after feeling the anointing manifest again, he commanded the spirit to leave for a third time. This time, the man’s body was healed. Hagin realized that even the smallest trace of doubt could hinder the manifestation of the power of God. Faith is essential. If we waver, we give the enemy room to operate.

This is a key lesson in understanding authority: the power lies in our belief. If we truly believe that the enemy has no place in our lives, we must act accordingly. Just because we don’t see immediate results doesn’t mean the command hasn’t worked. We must stand firm, confident in the authority given to us, and trust that the devil has no choice but to leave when we resist him in faith.

When we understand our authority, we can speak to mountains and see them moved. We can speak to sickness and command it to leave. We are not helpless; we have been equipped with the power to resist the devil and walk in victory. The authority given to us through Christ is a powerful tool, and we must learn to wield it effectively, trusting in God’s Word and standing firm in faith. The victory is ours, but we must stand in the power and authority of Christ to see it manifest.
