Women's Bible Studies from the KJB: I Have Cancer And I Am Not Afraid To Die!

I wrote this in the winter of

2017, but I keep

republishing it because

the information might still

be helpful to some of my

readers who may have

just been told they

have cancer, and may

be facing surgery and

radiation, like I had.

2016...In September I got

a call from my doctor

saying that I had cancer

in both breasts. Since

then I have been having

lots of tests done in the

hospital, plus

appointments with the

surgeon and the

oncologist. My surgery

is tomorrow morning,

November 7th. My

precious husband, my

stepson and his fiancé

will be there all day

with him while I'm in

surgery. My other

stepson wanted to be

there, but had work

obligations that kept

him away. I am grateful

that my husband will

not have to be alone

for hours waiting until

I get out of surgery

and recovery. I am so

blessed to have such

a supportive family.

First before I go further,

dear readers, I want to

share with you that it is

very important to get

regular mammograms

no matter how old you

are (at the time of

surgery I am 67)! My

surgeon said that

because I was getting

mammograms regularly,

the cancer was caught

early, and I believe

could be the reason I

am alive today!

But I believe the good part

about the cancer diagnosis

is that I have had more

opportunities to share

my faith about the Lord

Jesus Christ, the Saviour

of the world; mostly on

this blog because I was

so busy with tests and

so tired! Cancer seems

to make you tired. But

that is 'normal'. Just

pace yourself.

And although I am not

crazy about possibly

suffering physically before

I die (I am a woos about

pain), as a Christian I am

not afraid of what comes

after death because I know

exactly where I will go if

God calls me home.

Heaven is our real home!

The verse below is one

of my favorite Bible verses.

I love that when my eyes

close in death, I will

immediately be in the

presence of my loving

Saviour, Jesus Christ!

How awesome is that!

I never have to fear what

comes after death. What

freedom and peace

there is in knowing that.

I will tell you how you

can know that hope,

peace and joy later in

this post.

2 Corinthians 5:8

We are confident, I say,

and willing rather to be

absent from the body,

and to be present with

the Lord.

And if you would like to know

how you can be saved from

your sins and go to heaven

when you die, God's Holy

Word, the King James

Bible tells us how. Go to

link below (How to go to

heaven); and then you

can also know that hope,

peace, and joy that I felt

when I faced cancer

surgery. What a

blessed gift from

our loving heavenly

Father to give us

that hope in His Bible

so we do not have to

worry our whole lives

what happens after

death!

How to go to heaven

Now back to my cancer

journey...

The 'nurse navigator' from

the hospital called me

ahead of time to explain

details about the

procedures I will face

before and after surgery.

She thought that I

would be upset

emotionally about the

cancer; but I am not.

Emotionally I am fine

because I know that

Jesus Christ, the

Sinless Son of God,

loved me enough to die

in my place to pay my

sin debt in full and

then he rose from the

dead three days later

and was witnessed

by over 500 people

alive! Jesus is alive

and in heaven waiting

for us who have

accepted Him as

Saviour to come home

to him when our

earthly life is over.

God calls it "fallen

asleep" when

believers die

because we leave

this world and wake

up in heaven!

1 Corinthians 15:6
After that, he [Jesus

Christ] was seen of

above five hundred

brethren [believers]

at once; of whom the

greater part remain

unto this present,

but some are fallen

asleep [died].

Another comforting Bible

verse says that Jesus

Christ will never leave me.

He is with me 24/7. It is

comforting to know that

no matter what, Jesus

will never leave me.

Although people may

not always be able to be

there for you, you can

always pray to Jesus

Christ for help to get

through whatever you

are facing.

Hebrews 13:5

...for he [Jesus] hath said,

I will never leave thee,

nor forsake thee.

And this is the verse that

I repeated when I needed

strength to get through

all the tests and what-

not that I went through

in my 'cancer journey'.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all things through

Christ which

strengtheneth me.

My surgeon knew that I

was a Christian, and then

she shared with me that

she prays before each

surgery to ask God to

guide her hands. That

was a great comfort.

And if it is God's will that I

survive this surgery,

then to God be the glory!

And if I do not survive, then

I will be instantly in heaven

with Jesus, my Lord and

Saviour! I repeat this

verse because it is one

of my favorite promises

from God's Holy Word,

the King James Bible

that gives me comfort.

I hope it will comfort

you, too.

2 Corinthians 5:8
We are confident, I say,

and willing rather to be

absent from the body,

and to be present with

the Lord.
