I'm new in this chat room..sorry about the ambiguity..my wife's son is 23 from a previous marriage, has terminal cancer. She's going thru pain and is lashing out on me, making undue conflicts. I tried to comfort her, but my attempts are rejected. Many underlying issues involved and should I elaborate? There is history involved.

My dad has brain cancer and is not doing good. He is in the hospital and won't eat or drink ~ and sleeps most of the time now. It is doubly hard for us since we just lost our mom in 06 from ovarian cancer. Iknow that my mom is in heaven and that brings me great comfort, just knowing I will see her again brings my heart great peace. My dad also is a christian and will be in heaven with her but the pain from her loss and his current suffering seems at times hard to bear. I am so blessed to have a wonderful support system with family and friends.

this is different than a problem with the body, but this is an example of not being able to receive healing......for years i have tried to heal my mother's heart, and walk side by side with her to fix bad habits, and make her somewhat happy so that she would stop inflicting harm on me and others but it has not worked, she is unwilling to receive and for some reason that i do not know wants what she wants or is not able to receive
Hi my dads cancer was found to late. Thats why the Drs said he would be dead. I don't care what man says. I believe what God says. He says we are healed. Yes people die because we are in a world that has satan in it. But we are to keep saying we are healed. We are to believe in what we don't see. If someone is all sick then picture them all well. I know many people are suffering with loved ones who are very sick. I pray God gives you strength. Sometimes our loved ones lose hope. They can't come right out and tell you they'd rather just die and go to heaven. If they are saved lets rejoice. Sometimes through sickness is the only way some people ever come to our Lord.

Dear Seekerofvictory,
Just a brief note concerning diseases. MOST are associated with some underlying issue, such as bitterness, resentments etc. We, being made in the image of GOD are 3 parts: spirit, soul and body. (1 Thessalonians 5:23) Even doctors and much of the supporting medical community are beginning to "catch-on" to the "spirit-mind-body" connection. (The particular science is called Psychoneuroimmunology)
Physiologically, the Limbic system is the connection from the spirit/soul of a person to the physical functioning parts. In other words, when you or me are, let's say.........rejected, this first goes through the external (eyes, ears, etc.) to the Limbic system, then to the autonomic, and sympathetic nervous system, which then affects the central nervous system, which then affects both the lymphatic and endrocrine systems (chemical release juctions) A simple demonstration of this is when you laugh at a funny movie............you laugh a lot and afterwards you "feel real good" or at peace. The reason why, is because when you laugh, your hypothalmus gland (endocrine system) releases seratonin, a hormone.
This is all designed by GOD to work "according to our image, the image of GOD". In other words, in the Gospels, Jesus was asked a very important question: What is the greatest commandment? HIS response was...."LOVE the LORD your GOD with all of your heart, with all of your mind and with all of your strength..........and the second commandment is similar............LOVE your neighbor as you love yourself. We are DESIGNED to love, that's the IMAGE OF GOD stated in Genesis.
Here's the problem however, adversely, when we hate, hold resentments, have suppressed rage, etc., etc. IT CAUSES OUR IMMUNE SYSTEMS TO SHUT DOWN! This is throughout Scripture...............ex
A merry heart does good like a medicine, but a broken spirit(heart) dries up the bones........Proverbs 17:22 (The bone marrow is where many of the cells are formed that comprise our immune system responses) So, if we are struggling with a broken heart, we've been rejected, cheated on, etc., etc. this is what causes the disease to "get a foothold"
There's volumes more to this understanding.................you called it knowledge and discernment, well it's there for you as well as anyone who really wants to know and learn. The book "A More Excellent Way" by Henry W. Wright will teach you all about it.
There are 2 really good ministries that REALLY help people get free from diseases...............www.beinhealth.org and www.laughcry.org
I will be praying for you and your wife and this young man......................
