πŸ’₯ God's help in times of trouble.

Pam Padgett, Member of body of Christ
 
I wanted to share some things I've been given during the past couple months while dealing with bladder cancer.
 
After the meeting with the cancer specialist in Denver on October 3 and learning that she recommended bladder removal, I asked God that, if possible, this "cup" be removed from me, that I not have to have my bladder removed. I really didn't know at that time if I would be spared this "cup".
 
Not long after this I had a dream  ... 
 
Dream - 10/15/2022 In this dream I was considering not having the surgery to remove my bladder.
 
Interestingly, this dream was given to me the day before I read a writing from the American Society of Clinical Oncology in which the following stood out so strongly to me ... An approach using chemotherapy with radiation therapy may provide the same benefits as bladder removal. 
 
It's as if the concept of not having the bladder removal surgery was being worked in me by God through this dream before seeing the statement about chemotherapy with radiation written by the American Society of Clinical Oncology.

Then on the night of November 12, 2022,  I had a dream in which I was talking with the radiologist doctor. There was a man sitting next to me as though he was there to support and help me. I was telling the doctor that the previous doctor who removed the bladder tumor last September told me that he had not been able to see the area where the kidney emptied into the bladder, and that no CT scans of that area had been done since the tumor had been removed. The doctor in the dream didn't say anything, but left the room. 
 
After I woke and was thinking about this dream and the man in the dream, I was reminded of some of the scriptures I've been given over the past 2-1/2 months in which God says that HE is with me and will help me. 
 
πŸ’₯  Hebrews 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for HE hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. 6 So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

πŸ’₯  Isaiah 41:10, 13   Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God:  I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of MY righteousness... For I the Lord thy God will hold thy right hand, saying unto thee, Fear not; I will help thee.


πŸ’₯  Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ (the Word) which strengtheneth me.

Joan Boney had an open vision, approximately August 29,2022 ... she saw something on the wall, and then very quickly it was just gone. She thought this had to do with my bladder problem.

Here are other dreams from the past which might pertain to the war which I'm having with the bladder cancer.

πŸ’₯ Dream 3/19/2006  I was in a rather small army and we were about to be attacked by a much larger army. We were led to go into a room on an upper floor of a building. We knew the enemy would come there and that the battle would be in this room.  There was a table and chairs in the room. Although I thought about turning the table on its side to use as a type of shield, other people had already started doing that.

We didn't have weapons such as guns; we were given forks.

2 Corinthians 10:3-4  For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:  (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)

There was a closet near the door through which the enemy would enter. I took a fork and went into the closet, leaving the door partially open.

Then the enemy started coming through the door. I reached out of the closet, grabbed an enemy soldier and stabbed the soldier several times with my fork. When that soldier fell, I reached and grabbed another. After having done this several times, the enemy saw what I was doing and 3 of them came to kill me. It looked totally hopeless for me.

But then, suddenly, the fighting stopped.

I asked others in the army I was in why the fighting stopped and was told it was because I was being attacked. There was a rule that if a soldier was already injured, they could not be attacked. At first I wondered how this pertained to me, but then saw a small cut on my left arm. I don't think I was even aware of this during the battle, and it certainly hadn't stopped me from killing several of the enemy. But, evidently, this was seen as a serious offense by those in power. So the fighting had been stopped and the enemy army was held responsible for this by those in authority.

Isaiah 54:17  No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of ME, saith the LORD.


I was concerned that I had stabbed each enemy soldier several times and wondered if this was going against the rules as well. However, I was told that this was okay since I stabbed the soldier multiple times in the same attack ... I hadn't set out to attack someone who was already wounded.

As we waited in the room, we received word that the enemy had admitted they were wrong. We thought the fighting would now resume. But as we waited in the room for the enemy to return, we noticed through a window that the enemy troops were marching out of the city. The battle was over.

I turned and told those in the room that this was God's doing (that we weren't destroyed by the enemy and that the battle was over) and others agreed.

πŸ’₯ 2 Corinthians 10:3-5 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh:
(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)  Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;



Isaiah 55:8-9   For MY thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways MY ways, saith the Lord.  For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are MY ways higher than your ways, and MY thoughts than your thoughts.


πŸ’₯ Another dream, 2/27/2020 ...  There had been an explosion. Somehow it was known that the person responsible for this explosion had set up another explosion for a specific day. We even knew the approximate time.

I started to leave the building where I was working on the sixth floor before the second explosion was to take place. But just a few steps down the stairs I remembered my purse and that all my identification was in it. I ran to where my purse was and got it.

Then I proceeded to leave, going down the stairs very quickly. I counted each floor as I descended down the stairs.

Some people were standing along the stairs, talking. I could tell by their talk that they knew the explosion was supposed to be coming, but they seemed to feel no sense of urgency. I didn't stop to try to persuade them to get out right away. Instead, I went around them and continued getting to the first floor so I could leave the building. I got out of the building and continued quickly on my way to leave the area.

At one point I was aware the explosion had happened. There was a wall of glass doors in the outside area where I was. I went through one of the doors to the other side, getting as far away from the destruction as I could. I kept walking as quickly as possible.


At one point I saw a woman walking around with a dazed look. She was carrying a recording device. I heard her say she was interviewing people who had been hurt or raped during this event.

I kept walking as quickly as possible toward the parking lot so I could leave.

When I woke from this dream, I heard “save yourself from this untoward generation”

Acts 2:40 And with many other words did he testify and exhort, saying. Save yourselves froom this untoward generation.

(untoward: inappropriate, offensive, perverse, wilful, crooked)


In these dreams I was not destroyed although it looked like I easily could be. Also I didn't go in the ways of people of this world (weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty through God )

The various things I've been given cause me to believe I'm being led to pursue radiation rather than bladder removal.

Also, I wanted to share some of the scriptures I've been given by the Holy Spirit which have been comforting and helpful to me:

πŸ’₯  Hebrews 11:6   But without faith it is impossible to please HIM: for he that cometh to God must believe that HE is, and that HE is a rewarder of them that diligently seek HIM.

πŸ’₯ Romans 8:28   And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to HIS purpose.

πŸ’₯ Matthew 6:34  Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

πŸ’₯ James 1:5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
