No Fear Lives Here!

First of all, I want to tell you all how much your emails and postings have meant to me and Brenda! I cannot possibly respond to them as I would like to, but please know they are all read and all appreciated! One of our rainforest business coaches set up a site for Brenda at www.BrendaPink.com where we will post updates and with joy receive any comments, suggestions and prayers you may have. I would like to bring you up to speed right now if I can. On Wednesday, we met with the neurosurgeon who performed the biopsy and now had the results of the pathology test. His eyes could barely meet mine when he delivered his report. He could only say, "I'm so sorry".Ê A very nice doctor, but obviously he isn't tapped into the same revelation of hope that Brenda is. As Brenda and I got up to leave that little examination room, our eyes met. I was looking to see the impact on her and she was looking steadfast into mine and simply said, "Jesus said, ÔIt is finished' and it's still finished! Nothing the doctor said changes what Jesus said." Of course, we believe that healing is in the atonement and are standing on His finished work on the cross. Earlier I had explained that the diagnosis of glioblastoma brain cancer is often referred to as GBL. I wanted her to recognize the abbreviation if it was ever spoken to her. She quickly retorted, "They call it G-B-L, but I call it L-I-E!"Ê As you all know, for the last few months, we have been deeply steeped in the study of healing and God's provision for us. Now, the enemy is testing us, but he will not prevail. In fact, he has already been defeated! Brenda is calm and fearless. Her faith has outreached my own. She inspires me every moment of the day. I am digging deep to catch up and I believe I have now. The first few days were the worst days of my life. Considering the fact that I have buried my firstborn child and my stepson, that is really saying something.Ê I felt your prayers of support rising up. It was like there was a major earthquake offshore that caused a tectonic shift in the earth's plates resulting in a giant, silent tsunami of faith and intercession carrying healing in our direction. In a matter of a few days, all grief is gone. All fear is gone. We are fighting strong and building strength every moment we draw breath. Brenda often says, "no fear lives here!" Let me ask you a question... If you accidently ran through a plate glass window and severely cut your wrist, which of you would pray for a miraculous healing? Which of you would stop and fast for a divine healing while the blood flowed out of your wrist? Would you not as quickly as possible, make a tourniquet to stop the bleeding? Yes, you may well be simultaneously asking God for His help, as would I, but I would make every immediate attempt to stop the bleeding using whatever means I had available. That's what this situation is like to me. Brenda's body is out of balance. Her immune system has been compromised for some time and we are working night and day to correct all that. In the wee hours of the morning, before the biopsy, as we lay scrunched up in the same hospital bed, Brenda told me that God had spoken to her in the night season, telling her she would live and impact many. She was to get her body in an alkaline condition immediately and take other natural steps to correct the imbalances that created the conditions that made her body vulnerable. That is the path we are on. Many of you have emailed us health related suggestions. Not only are they greatly appreciated, but we are aggressively following through, integrating them into a specific battle plan that we believe God is giving us. In a very real sense, we are applying a natural tourniquet to this imbalance and we are doing so as we feel He is leading us. I hope you know, that she is also bathed in prayer daily, that we are standing firmly on the Word of God, and that we are making plans for our life when she is past this. We are not getting our affairs in order as the saying goes, but rather we are planning on joyously living a full and satisfied life full of good things. God will get glorified in this victory! As we fight this battle, Brenda at this moment has very limited function with the left side of her body. I have to dress her and tend to her personal needs. Her dear brother Sonny flew here from his home in Panama and moved in with us, giving invaluable support, aid and phenomenal assistance 24/7. Sonny and I are often found in the kitchen at 2 or 3 in the morning preparing fresh juice for Brenda to strengthen her and get her alkaline up. We are doing a host of other protocols like the Budwig protocol, making sure we do not do anything to conflict with something else we are doing. What we are learning and experiencing through this process is far too extensive to share at this time, but I will tell you that the outpouring of love and support from our church, our personal friends and so many of you, have been like sentries posted all around us, guarding our back, encouraging our heart and filling our spirits with faith, hope and love. Please keep it up. I look forward to sharing with you about faith, hope and love in upcoming posts. With deep gratitude, Michael
