Prayer for my oldest grandson

[RB]

Red, this is so sad and scary, but at the same time, intriguing. The whole juxtaposition of a life-threatening, very rare blood disease with a tumor that may or may not be connected. Please update as you can. Maybe Taylor's case will help answer questions for the few others who have been down this extremely rocky road.

Poor Taylor told his grandmother that this is so stressing to him, I can only imagine~BUT, we have a God that can "will" for him to be heal and HE WILL!

I did hear some good news last night that the tumor in his kidney is getting smaller than what it was two weeks ago!

..and still praying here for Taylor and his whole family

Thank you for caring for others~ God sees and rewards with the same kindness we show to others! He's a very righteous God and is NOT forgetful as we often are! Much love to you.  RB

Dear RB & family,
we are all  praying  for Taylor,
& I'm sure, God listens to our prayers,
may Christ grant his loving grace on Taylor.

Praying for him. So sorry. God is with you all. Great Healer and Physician!

I saw in the spirit 2 or was it 3 boxes ticked with a lime bright green tick. When the spirit realm opens its like a flash light going off and my memory is not that great . Anyway it's Like one of those forms you fill out. Place a tick or a cross in the box. These green ticks was big as in out side of the box boundaries. Then I saw a Rex x in one box. This one is contained within the boundaries . Its being held back like the ocean seas. He sets the boundaries. The Lord sometime kept on praying and as he did they got healed. The working of miracles. Elijah kept on praying.
James 5:15-17 New King James Version (NKJV)

15 And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. 16 [a]Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. 17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly that it would not rain; and it did not rain on the land for three years and six months.

You have to contend for some miracles . Keep going in faith
Mark 8:22-38 New King James Version (NKJV)

A Blind Man Healed at Bethsaida
22 Then He came to Bethsaida; and they brought a blind man to Him, and begged Him to touch him. 23 So He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the town. And when He had spit on his eyes and put His hands on him, He asked him if he saw anything.

24 And he looked up and said, "I see men like trees, walking."

25 Then He put His hands on his eyes again and made him look up. And he was restored and saw everyone clearly. 26 Then He sent him away to his house, saying, [a]"Neither go into the town, nor tell anyone in the town."

The healing came in parts

I also saw like a small suitcase and my impression was it was like a night or daybag. Not a long stay suitcase. He was being sent home so to speak. I sort of see it as it's under control and his life will carry on . This is  within the boundaries. The red x was not outside the box.  but we must still pray for total healing. I say Lord find another angle to this problem Lord and turn it a bit. Twist it tweak it. Let the doctors have understanding . Unlock this door father.  If the x was turned it becomes a cross. Let that red x become a Red Cross. So we declare the blood of Jesus,  the power of the blood .
Isaiah 53:5 New King James Version (NKJV)

5 But He was wounded[a] for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes[c] we are healed.

[Bemark]

17 Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed earnestly

Wow how did I miss it.

I should have an update on Taylor the first part of next week when all testing should be back. At the moment it does not look great based upon what we have learned so far, but, I will wait until then to address all of it. Your prayers is greatly appreciated and desired for him. I will only add that the mass has increased both on the kidney and lungs. We are going to Atlanta this coming Friday or Saturday, or sooner if needed to see him. RB

Dear RB & family,
thank you for sharing the update,
please do not be discouraged,
God is with all of us.

Be careful on your trip. I hope the news is not all bad. Even with an increase in the size of the masses, that can be reversed with the right treatments. I guess my question is if he is still refusing certain necessary treatments. Maybe the failure for the natural remedies to work will help him make better decisions and listen to the doctors. I will pray for that, as well.

May you & family have a safe journey & may Christ give divine guidance regarding treatment.

Praying for this precious grandson and the family.

I'm sure I speak for all of us when I ask that you update whenever you can.

Lord Care for this brother ~ keep him close and see to all his family and friends ```

[RB]

I finally have an update on Taylor's sickness~ he has a very serious blood cancer that is usually found in children/youth called small blue round cell tumors  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small-blue-round-cell_tumor

It is extremely deadly if untreated (less than two months) even treated there's a less than 15% chance of survival.  So, needless to say, we are devastated to speak mildly~yet not totally without hope, since with God all things are possible. Taylor is flying to Oregon today to pick up his car and his dog and coming immediately back, other than that, I have not talked to him this morning, even though he is at moment with us. He wants his dog with him and that's okay with us.

All this I just found out just before I went to bed last night and he stayed up with my wife.  Continue to pray for this young man (22, nearer his 23rd birthday at Christmas).

RB

Dear RB & family,
thank you for sharing the update,
I'm sorry to hear about the illness,
please I urge you & family, & Taylor himself, not to be discouraged,
please do not lose hope,
we are all lifting our hands in prayer for Taylor,
May Christ give Taylor the strength to fight,
May Christ's divine blessings & graces bless Taylor with a complete cure for his illness,
please keep praying and,
we are also praying continuously.
please keep us updated, as we lift our prayers to Almighty God.

Update on Taylor Copp my second daughter's oldest son. Taylor is a very sick young man with less than two months to live. He's in Weed, Calfornia at the moment using natural means to treat his cancer. He is 100% against chemo and for good reasons, YET I would to God that he would consider a small amount ALONG with what he is doing. There are doctors in Texas that he could go to that do both. But he refused to do so and time is of the essence. His parents are thinking about going to Calfornia and bringing him back here, which I do not think he will allow it. They have him in a bed and breakfast place at the moment with Hospice Care but it is very expensive around $3,000.00 per month. Money is not the issue, it is the fact that he needs to be with us and allow the place in Texas to help.

He's refusing to use the witty inventions of man. I read him about Hezekiah who himself had a sickness whereas God told him that he was going to die, yet he prayed and God added fifteen years to his life~YET, he STILL had to use the witty invention of using figs for a plaister upon his boil!

Isaiah 38~"In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz came unto him, and said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Set thine house in order: for thou shalt die, and not live. Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the wall, and prayed unto the LORD, And said, Remember now, O LORD, I beseech thee, how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore. Then came the word of the LORD to Isaiah, saying, Go, and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the LORD, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will add unto thy days fifteen years. And I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria: and I will defend this city. And this shall be a sign unto thee from the LORD, that the LORD will do this thing that he hath spoken; Behold, I will bring again the shadow of the degrees, which is gone down in the sun dial of Ahaz, ten degrees backward. So the sun returned ten degrees, by which degrees it was gone down. The writing of Hezekiah king of Judah, when he had been sick, and was recovered of his sickness:
I said in the cutting off of my days, I shall go to the gates of the grave: I am deprived of the residue of my years. I said, I shall not see the LORD, even the LORD, in the land of the living: I shall behold man no more with the inhabitants of the world. Mine age is departed, and is removed from me as a shepherd's tent: I have cut off like a weaver my life: he will cut me off with pining sickness: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. I reckoned till morning, that, as a lion, so will he break all my bones: from day even to night wilt thou make an end of me. Like a crane or a swallow, so did I chatter: I did mourn as a dove: mine eyes fail with looking upward: O LORD, I am oppressed; undertake for me. What shall I say? he hath both spoken unto me, and himself hath done it: I shall go softly all my years in the bitterness of my soul. O Lord, by these things men live, and in all these things is the life of my spirit: so wilt thou recover me, and make me to live. Behold, for peace I had great bitterness: but thou hast in love to my soul delivered it from the pit of corruption: for thou hast cast all my sins behind thy back. For the grave cannot praise thee, death can not celebrate thee: they that go down into the pit cannot hope for thy truth. The living, the living, he shall praise thee, as I do this day: the father to the children shall make known thy truth. The LORD was ready to save me: therefore we will sing my songs to the stringed instruments all the days of our life in the house of the LORD. For Isaiah had said, Let them take a lump of figs, and lay it for a plaister upon the boil, and he shall recover. Hezekiah also had said, What is the sign that I shall go up to the house of the LORD?"

I read this to Taylor and will again remind him that BOTH natural means and witty inventions are to be used. We are not Chrisitan Scientist.

Even if Taylor does not believe that God can and will heal him I DO and so does my wife. I trust in such scriptures as:

Mark 2:1-5~"And again he entered into Capernaum after some days; and it was noised that he was in the house. And straightway many were gathered together, insomuch that there was no room to receive them, no, not so much as about the door: and he preached the word unto them. And they come unto him, bringing one sick of the palsy, which was borne of four. And when they could not come nigh unto him for the press, they uncovered the roof where he was: and when they had broken it up, they let down the bed wherein the sick of the palsy lay. When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee."

I'm trusting that God can see OUR FAITH IN HIM for Taylor's healing when we pour out our hearts unto him for our dear grandson who is not far removed from being just a little child. My main trust is in God's mercy for his young man with his life ahead of him, If God wills it to be so, and for some unknown reason he does not, then I still will love and serve him just as Job said!

Job 13:15~"Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him."

[chosenone]

He certainly knowns his own mind. I will continue to pray for him.

[Michael2012]

Even if Taylor does not believe that God can and will heal him I DO and so does my wife.

RB,

I am praying to our God, in the name of Jesus Christ, for Taylor's healing.

But having learned this from you, I will be praying to God that He heals Taylor, spiritually that is, together with physical healing. May he find comfort, faith and hope in God, through all of you who have contact with him, during this time of discomfort and suffering. May all of these that is happening to and around Taylor, bring forth only that which is good and which brings glory to God, not only to all who are in this and his whole family, but most especially to Taylor.

In times like this, I am always reminded that things happen for a reason, a good reason, that is. Many years back, my wife was diagnosed to have breast cancer. Naturally all sorts of bad thoughts and feeling came down upon me. As my focus was on her situation, there was a mixture of emotions: sadness, pity, worry, anxiety,  love, faith, hope, etc. The air was filled with the voices of family, relatives, and friends, expressing what's inside their minds and hearts, and prayers constantly being offered. It was like that for some time. During my private prayer, this thought came to me: I am a child of God and so is my wife. Why is this happening? I was requesting every person I knew, to pray for my wife's healing. But nothing seems to change for the better. Then in the midst of my praying, my mind tells me that all this is happening because God is telling me something. So, I said to myself, if I would only know what that is, perhaps all this will go away. And I was convinced that the sooner I knew the sooner my wife's cancer will be gone as well. And days passed by with this in mind and always in search of what it is. Until one day, a friend (not a Christian) called me up and said he will pray for my wife and surely my wife will get healed. But I found myself not thanking him for that. It struck me that I haven't, for I always thank and does not forget to thank people for such. That was it, I told myself. I got the message: Not only that I have to have as much faith as that, but that, I don't get to ask unbelievers to pray to their god or accept the offer of prayers to their god, just because I so very much wanted a love one to be healed. And so I told my wife about this. So we immediately prayed to God and asked for His forgiveness for this wrong. And we prayed, with as much faith as we have, and with as much gratitude as we have, and thanked God not only for the message, but for the healing of my wife. Right there and then we claimed and believed with all our heart that God will heal my wife.

The following day, wasting no time, we hurried to the hospital, but this time not to find out what's wrong with her, but to see for ourselves the healing of God. Cutting the long story short, so it was. She was found to have nothing, not any sign of breast cancer. Of course every medical staff and doctors that knew of my wife's case could not believe what had just happened.

The Lord God in heaven works in mysterious and wondrous ways!

I can't put in words exactly how I felt, and how my wife felt, and how together we felt as husband and wife, and as children of God. We just found ourselves embracing each other with tears in our eyes, so grateful to our God, for the wonderful work He had done in us and through us.

May you find wisdom and encouragement in this.

In Christ,

Michael

Brother  Michael, THANK YOU for sharing this and above all for God healing your wife. I'm claiming God's mercy toward Taylor~Even though God knows the end from the beginning, I'm doing all I know to do as a child of God~ trusting him for his mercy toward my grandson. There's a lot of chattering around me from all sorts of places, yet by God's help, I'm blocking it all out and trusting him that the God of all the earth, to heal Taylor..... we know that God is a God of mercy, love, and he delights in showing that he is to his children that look to him to heal all of their diseases. 

Again, thank you for your prayers in praying for Taylor, they are indeed greatly appreciated from my wife and me. RB

I did read your post and for your kindness, I thank you very much, it shows your godly spirit~and your prayers are received with thanksgiving unto God from my wife and me.


Brother, I know how much soever God may subject his people to the cross and to troubles, he still succors them in their distress. I know the scriptures that speak of the goodness of God, not only to us, even the animal creation, so I know much more to us.

I would never murmur or complain, or feel sorry for myself, God forbid~whatever may come into my life, I know that with Jacob, I'm not worthy of the least of his merices toward me. I'm committed to serving him though he slays me as Job said.

Again, thank you for taking the time to remind me of God's goodness~In closing, I read this many years ago: "God is summum bonum, the chiefest good. The original Saxon meaning of our English word "God" is "The Good." God is not only the Greatest of all beings, but the Best. All the goodness there is in any creature has been imparted from the Creator, but God's goodness is underived, for it is the essence of His eternal nature. As God is infinite in power from all eternity, before there was any display thereof, or any act of omnipotency put forth; so He was eternally good before there was any communication of His bounty, or any creature to whom it might be imparted or exercised. Thus, the first manifestation of this Divine perfection was in giving being to all things. "Thou art good, and doest good" (Ps. 119:68). God has in Himself an infinite and inexhaustible treasure of all blessedness enough to fill all things." A.W.Pink in his book The Attributes of God, which no doubt he like all of us learned such things from the scriptures and from a combination of godly men of God studying the same.

[Sinner]

Having had cancer a couple of times in the past, I know something of what your grandson is going through.  I will pray that God will heal him.

My brother my friend. I Feel your pain. This has been truely upsetting . The Lord told me he has a independant spirit. I'm not really sure what that is really in full. He has chosen the way he wants to end his life and at least in that he has peace. We all die someday and for us who believe, we see each other again,. You are and always will be the rock in your family. Stay Close to him and pray with your loved ones. Hold them close

[Bemark]

But I say to the cancer shrivel and die.

[Bemark]

I have to say it or it's just not right if I stay silent. I see a surgeon .  Green hat on . Surgical hat. If your tooth is sore you see a dentist .yes?    Well maybe a surgeon needs to cut out the cancer. God has provided many ways . Like money normally comes from people who hear God and give. Healing can come from Devine knowledge given to man so he can live. God sometimes has answered the prayers of man . Now man carries out the knowledge given to him in the avenue of doctors etc. witty inventions of man could have been given to man By GOD.

[RB]

I truly thank each and every one of you for your sincere care and prayers. RB

[Bemark]

Ok so we need to speak to Taylor's mind. We need to pray into it. So God can help him. he needs a mind shift. Now we have a focus point . He needs medical care but he is refusing it. We need to pray and keep praying and also for RB because you just get worn out in life.

[Bemark]

I break the independant mindset that you hold onto Taylor , Father release reality. Show him . Whatever he has been under .I decree it striped. Torn apart. I break the covering of delusion .  I break you in the name of Jesus. I decree truth

[RB]

Mark, thank you very kindly for your sincere prayers for Taylor, he's in desperate need of them. The Lord bless you for your thoughtfulness of others. Your prayers would be a little different from mine, but that's okay with me, it does not make either one of them more or less effective. It's the HEART of FAITH that God sees and acts upon. RB
