You are The Matrix! Only you can protect yourself from cancer

One particular theme I noticed can be summed up in a passage of scripture which states in so many words, "No weapon formed against thee shall prosper.", Morpheus tells Neo that he should free his mind. And he tells him about the agents and the fact that noone has ever defeated any of them. Morpheus begins to tell Neo that where everyone else has failed, he(Neo) will succeed. Neo's questions Morpheus if he's trying to say that he will dodge bullets. Morpheus says, "I'm saying when the time comes, you won't have to." At the final battle scene, Neo rises from the "dead" and bullets are fired at him. He stops them; all the bullets fall without ever harming him. In the end, Neo not only survives but he transcends the boundaries of the Matrix and life in general. For me, this is one of the things that God is trying to show His people. Our faith in Him, our dedication to reading and doing His word--- free our minds from the boundaries (tests, trials, tribulations, temptations). You don't have to dodge bullets. Be assured that they are coming, but because the power of God is in us, we can look at those bullets, stop them in their tracks, and make them of none effect.


So stop cancer! Read this study by researchers from the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston and Harvard Medical School who found that diet has a significant impact on whether colon cancer returns in people previously treated for it as covered in News-Medical.net.

Stand by me...cancer is a blessing


One of the many blessings of ‘getting’ cancer, for me, is making friends who have been or are going through the same ‘tragedy’ - and being able to tell them that it’s really no tragedy but really a BLESSING. What? Cancer a blessing? Have we gone bonkers, or what?

No, really - cancer IS a blessing. And why not?
It’s made me a better informed person, it’s made me a more loving and forgiving person, I’m now able to value the time I have with my daughters, I now look into my wife’s ’spiritual’ eyes while saying to her ‘I love you….’ I don’t take life for granted like I routinely used to. I am a holistically rounded person and am able to tell good from bad better than before.

I am ever closer to The Al Mighty Allah, frequently getting up in the middle of nights for prayers. This has made me a calmer, serene and contented person. Man… if these are not blessings, I’d like to know what is!

So… go out there and get cancer…? You betcha’.. but only if you can handle it.
Haha… Seriously, whatever The Lord gives you, take it with LOVE in your heart and lots of positive waves in your mind. That’s what I went through to get through cancer… you CAN too!
Be inspired!
