Delivered and Healed of Cancer

My name is Jennifer Givens. I am thirty-eight years old and have been blessed with three amazing children, Colby 16, Amillia 14 and Mollie 12. I have been married to the man of my dreams for almost eighteen years. I am truly blessed. I grew up in a Christian home and have known the Lord personally since I was twelve years old. I have loved God since then, but I have to say that until I was diagnosed with cancer that I was not passionate for him. Looking back, battling cancer is now the pivotal point of my walk with Him.

In January of 2004, I was diagnosed with Large B Cell Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. I have to say that the first thing I experienced was fear! The fear of death is an amazing thing, and cancer is a big word. When the doctor told us that I had cancer, it was almost as if he were talking about someone else. My immediate thought went towards my children, which at the time were 7, 9 and 11. I told my husband that my kids needed ME. Clint told me, “they’re gonna have you.” Clint was an amazing rock that God blessed me with beyond measure, but unfortunately, Clint could not fight this battle for me. I really wish he could have!

The day I found out I was sick, I experienced the Lord in a way I had never before. That evening, we prayed as a family. I pictured myself alone at the cross, and for the first time, I experienced a true passion for the Lord. I came to the point where I had to decide what I truly believed. Not what my husband believed or what my family believed, but what I personally believed. God showed me that he took those stripes for me and my healing! This was the first step. From that day on it was as if He was equipping me for the battle ahead. We read His word and one of the first things that God showed us, was that we needed go to the elders and pray. We did just that. What an amazing feeling it is to experience God’s love and support with the leadership of your church. I remember going to church to pray with our pastor and some of the leadership of our church. I felt as if the weight of the world were on my shoulders with fear and doubt and anxiety filling me. I left with the amazing peace of God that passes all understanding! I really did. It was nothing I mustered up and decided, it was just God and his amazing peace that he blessed me with!

Although I did have his peace and felt like He was really equipping us with His armor, I really battled my mind. I knew in my heart that God was going to take care of me, but there seemed be horrible thoughts of death, and reminders all of the good people that I had known that had died of cancer. The enemy was really good at bringing lots of them to mind. This was a hard thing for me to battle. When I shared this with Clint, we decided to talk to Jess Parker about deliverance. We knew some about deliverance, but not much. We met with Jess a handful of times. The things we learned about spiritual warfare and deliverance were life changing. Jess shared with us so many practical, biblical principals, and how powerful our minds in Christ really are. There was one time that he prayed for me and he said, “Jennifer, I want you to tell me how you picture that tumor inside of you.” And I told him, “well, I picture it very large and ugly.” And he told me,” OK, now tell me how you want it to look”. I remember thinking, what? So I said, “OK, I want it to look like a little piece of garlic that has been in the refrigerator for about a year!” He told me, “now when you pray against cancer and that tumor, that is how I want you to picture it.” It seems like such a little thing, but as soon as I would have a thought of how huge and ugly that tumor was, I would think, no, and imagine that little withered piece of garlic. Another thing Jess asked me was, “What are some things you want to do that you feel like you won’t be able to?” I told him, “I just want to go to my son Colby’s little League baseball games and watch him play.” Jess kind of laughed and said, “Let’s think a little more long term than that.” I said, “Ok I want to be able to be at my girls’ weddings and watch their Dad walk them down the aisle and I want to rock my grandbabies on my porch.” He said, “Ok, now when the enemy comes in and fills your mind with thoughts of fear and thoughts that you are going to die a young mom you in turn think about those good thoughts and dreams you just talked about.” And I did. I exchanged lies of the enemy with promises of God!

We prayed at length each time we met. The way Jess prayed was amazing. I had never known we had such God given authority over the enemy. Jess instructed us that we could rebuke the enemy and his demons that were tormenting my mind had to flee. It opened my eyes to a completely new way we could pray and battle. It was so affective.

These are just a few examples of how God used Jess and his ministry of deliverance in my life. I feel as if God used him to help equip me to battle the enemy. Today, five years later, I am cancer free and use the tools that Jess taught me in many life situations. I feel like the biggest battle of my life (cancer) was the best thing I have ever experienced. I would not change it for the world. The intimacy and things I received from the Lord during this time, I cherish even more than the healing I received. God took what the enemy meant to kill me with and made it the biggest blessing of my life. I will never be the same and for that, I am grateful. I thank God for using Jess Parker and his ministry for being an instrumental part of the healing that took place!

Principles I learned from Jess:

- Spiritual warfare is real.
- Cancer is not a god.
- There is power in the blood and the name of Jesus.
- God has given us authority over the enemy.
- We can rebuke the enemy and he has to flee.
