Cancer-Free by the Power of God!

When Essie’s granddaughter Jasmine was diagnosed with breast cancer while six months pregnant, this Florida church elder didn’t panic. She prayed. Following Scripture, she anointed Jasmine with oil, laid hands on her, and believed God for a miracle. Today, Jasmine is cancer-free by the power of God, and her healthy baby girl is a living testimony of faith and answered prayer.

Essie, a Florida widow and elder in her church, knew just what to do when her granddaughter Jasmine was six months pregnant and diagnosed with breast cancer.

“I anointed her with oil, laid hands on her, and prayed over her in the name of the Lord,” Essie recalls, citing the Bible’s instructions in James 5:14-15. A firm believer in God’s supernatural power to heal, she claimed Jesus’ promise that “they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will recover” (Mark 16:17-18).

As Jasmine received chemotherapy while she was still pregnant, Essie grew anxious about how the treatments might affect the baby. In her concern, she called the International Prayer Center. She asked one of our prayer ministers to agree with her that God would heal Jasmine and keep her unborn child healthy.

A Grandmother’s Faith and the Healing Power of Prayer

God answered the prayers!

Jasmine’s baby, named Taraji, was born perfectly healthy. “We were so focused on the mother that we didn’t pay as much attention to the baby’s health at first,” Essie says. “But praise God, she’s doing everything a baby would normally do!”

Jasmine is doing well too. “All the medical tests came back negative,” Essie beams. “She is cancer-free, and I know it was the power of God!”

Essie is a bold woman of God who has seen the Lord answer many of her prayers over the years. Still, she plans to continue calling our International Prayer Center for prayer support. “I’m so thankful to your prayer ministers for agreeing with me in prayer!”
