I made a mistake in addressing this post.  I'm sorry.  I hope you will
get it this time (Smile).  Shelby--

Dear Doug,

I just want to encourage you and your wife India to trust in the Lord and
don't lean to your own understanding.  In all your ways acknowledge Him and
He shall direct your paths.  I was faced with having two operations in
1988 to remove a brain tumor.  The doctors told me that I would only live
for 5 years without the surgeries.  I know what you both are facing.  I
relied on the Lord totally and would not even consider the worse scenario.
The Lord has brought you both too far to leave you.  Know right at this point
that you will have a wonderful testimony to share and help others who will
face the same thing, or who are facing similar circumstances.  Needless to
say, I pulled through the surgeries and each day is a gift from the Lord to
me.

Because Jesus took stripes upon His back for our healing, believe God for a
total healing of your condition.  Also rely totally on God's promises to
receive your healing.  The Lord states in Mark 11:22 (NIV) Have faith in God,
Jesus answered. 23) I tell you the truth, if anyone says to this mountain,
Go, throw yourself into the sea, and does not doubt in his heart but believes
that what he says will happen, it will be done for him. 24) Therefore I tell
you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and
it will be yours. 25) And when you stand praying, if you hold anything against
anyone, forgive him, so that your Father in heaven may forgive your sins.

I want you both to read the above scripture again and anyone else who needs
a healing from God.  Do not stop believing for your healing and don't be
moved by symptoms, but believe this scripture daily and thank God for His
promise.  The Lord said that His word would not return unto Him void, but
would prosper what He means for it to prosper.  We are standing in prayer
with you and India and will rejoice when you share your testimony later!!!!

Dear Heavenly Father,

We praise You and give you all the glory and honor today.  This is the be-
ginning of the new year and we are so ever grateful that You have brought us
this far by faith.  We confess Jesus Christ as Lord over our lives, spirits,
souls, and bodies.  We thank You for Your power to make India sound, whole,
delivered, saved, and healed now.  We pray your Word for total healing for
India from the top of her head to the soles of her feet in Jesus Mighty Name.
Sickness shall no longer lord over India; she has been redeemed from the
curse of the law through the blood shed by Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  We
receive Your Word in Mark 11:23 for India's healing.  We thank You Father in
advance in Jesus Name for her healing and future testimony.  Lord give Doug
and India Your strength and knowledge and understanding and peace in this
situation.  We know that all things work together for their good because they
love You and because You have called them according to Your purpose.  We
believe everything has been done in Jesus Name and thank you abundantly for
what You are doing through this couple.  In Jesus Name we pray.  Amen and Amen.

Your sister in Christ,
Shelby--

P.S.  Have you ever read a book by Benny Hinn called Good Morning Holy Spirit
      or a book by Smith Wigglesworth entitled Ever Increasing Faith.
      You can get these at your local book store.  If you cannot find them
      I will give them to you as a gift, if you give me your address.  We
      love you on Christia in Jesus Name.
