I’m a healed from Lymphoma. I’m 11 months in remission. Just found out my wife has cancer. Thank you God for my healing. I pray that you will heal my wife.
How is she now? Hoping for her health
Lord, I pray that Joe Reid is still in remission and the Dr’s did their best and You have either helped or healed, amen
I had lupus and I was on my deathbed with it literally the doctor told my husband my organs was starting to shut down and we still prayed for a healing we never gave up and we had 2 kids at this time in my life and one night nothing big happened no big feeling just a warm sensation and I started feeling better the next few days and I gained strength and weight and went for more testing and blood work and they doctor was so amazed they wanted to send me to North Carolina hospital for more testing cause they couldn’t find no sign on lupus! The Lord healed me and that was 8 years ago now!!!! God is good never quit praying!!!!
I have met both Joel & Luke Smallbone & I admire your courage & strength. I have been told by many of my friends that God will never give us more then we can handle. Last year, I became very sick with a Severe Case of the Stomach Flu, I was in & out of the Hospital 6 times in 3 weeks and I was at first scared & not sure what was gonna happen, but all of a sudden I felt God’s Peace & God pulled me through. The drs at 1 point did not think I would make it but I decided to just Trust God and I would be at Peace with whatever He decided to do. God is AWESOME!!!!! Praise God for Luke’s Healing.
The "R" word!, remission, rejuvenation, repentance, resurrection, restoration, rejoicing! So happy for you, and your family!
I am in Luke's shoes, the pain the frustration, pain,being tired all the time.
It feels like suffering yet praying for healing. Physically being in pain is very hard to live through. You don't no till you do.
So good to hear things from his wife’s perspective! God bless your marriage ❤️
Luke smallbone husband Hannah smallbone wife
Have been dealing with Crohn’s for 30 years... Lost my son in April.... husband open heart surgery few weeks ago... moved 4 times in year in a half....
💛💛💛💛
Luke’s a blessed man 🙏
I believe that the Lord uses grueling pain, sorrows and struggles to bring us into higher places
yess couldn't agree more!
Yes very true 👆
Yes! Pain brings me ckoser to my Lord and my purpose
Amen!
Psalm 34:18 (NIV)
The LORD is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.
Amen
i feel you girl and i been in that same thing becuse i loss my husbend in 20014 of june and its has been togh for me and god has all the healing for him and now we have 6 kids now and my older son told me that he will be ok praying for you guys
I've had Colitis since I was 13, I'm now 42. I've never been told that I'm remission but at the same time, it has become my normal. I've learned how to live with it and for me, that is my remission.
I also have other autoimmune diseases. The Colitis actually caused a nasty rare skin disease called Pyoderma Gangrenosum. It's where your skin turns red and looks like an infection but can also come as a wound from ulcers that break out. I was in the hospital for two weeks four years ago, it took the doctors that long to figure it out. In the meantime, they kept doing biopsies and every time my skin would turn black and die, the wound got so big on my ankle that a chunk of it was gone. Not to mention how painful it was with even the slightest touch. The doctors thought I was going to need a skin graft but God is so good because of how well it healed.
I also had a blood transfusion when I was 18 because of the Colitis. And as mentioned I have another autoimmune disease that I got when I was a baby.
I used to pray for healing but God told me my soul is what needed to be healed more than my physical body. I trust God daily to keep me strong so I can take care of my kids and myself as best as I can.
Thank you for sharing!
Wow! How are you doing now? Praying for you, God bless.
Anyhows Jennys. As you read this, you are healed from the crown of your head to the sole of your foot, you are made whole completely in Jesus name. It's time to enjoy the life Christ died for you. Cheers. 😊
God bless you! Thank you for sharing your testimony!!! Believing for your total healing in Jesus mighty name!
Jennys Journey, Yahweh is a healing God but He does not promise everyone will be physically cured or healed of all things. That is a lie of the devil. Anyone telling you it is about your faith and not what it is which is God is allowing something and why can remain a mystery. The trials are the purification process and the only healing guaranteed is the healing of the eternal spirit within. Believe He can, for sure, heal the body as well as the spirit so don’t stop asking. Be aware of any bad feelings in your spirit arising from the length of time you suffer. Cast them out as you become aware. Amen
Thank you Courtney. A warm, beautiful testimony!!
She is so honest and I love that and the person she is.
Yesss I couldn't agree more!
That's amazing. I just got sweatshirt I bought from Nightbirds AGT show it says on front big bold letters it's OK. I've watched a few of her interviews she had 2% chance of survival cancer. She stood on stage told world you don't have to wait till your life is great to be happy. Have recently found you guys through the night at museum such beautiful show. So thanks so much for sharing nxb
"Do not be dismayed for I am with you. Do not be discouraged for I am you God, I will strengthen, I will help you, I will uphold you with My victorious right hand." -Is. 41:10! Courtney and Luke are witnesses to this awesome promise! This testimony is so very inspiring! We serve an awesome and faithful God!!!!!
Yesss their story is beautiful isn't it??
Excellent eye opening, real conversation about life. Thank you for sharing it.
Your family is so giving.i wish only good things for you.
God will turn your test into a Testimony, your mess into a Message and your trial into Triumph! God is good! God is great, and is greatly to be praised! Give him the glory! That’s what we are created for! Worship him and adore him.
I'm so happy for you. I myself have an am experiencing some health issues and my husband had health uses prior where he almost died. Yes, you do grow from these tests. I guess that's why we have these trials and tribulations. We grow from them. You and Luke are so blessed and I'm so glad you found the strength. Though you may not realize it and it may not have felt like it, but God was carrying you sometimes at your weakest points. One set of footprints! May you and your family always be blessed. Much love, Terry
I can totally see that you love your husband, Luke, and that he loves you. I can also see you two truly love the lord.
Praise the lord that he is better.
Yesss it's true!!
her testimony that leads us to a place we have to believe our G-d. Bless her for her tenacity to hang on to faith

This is encouraging. My husband has a lot of health problems. I relate to what you’re saying. God is our strength.
My family struggles with this. I wasn’t here when my grandpa was really struggling with it but my I see it with my cousin and I it is really hard to see
Wow what a a beautyful testimony, so hard to face illness, God help us and keep us
Didn't know you had a podcast, Courtney! Thanks so much for this testimony! I will check out your other videos!
I know that was tough to share that but what a testimony. Thank you so much!!
This story always gets to me! I’m 17 in highschool. I don’t go to the best highschool there’s not a lot of Christians and a lot of teens in my school are involved with drugs and alcohol. I also have a genetic condition that I struggle with. I’m a very insecure person I’m but open to my feelings. I try to help people in my school but not directly. A lot of them refuse but for me to be a light in school people steer towards me and I help them that way
Sounds like you are doing an amazing job Tina.. keep it up!
Amen. Me too
Tina Turner, take the Maker's Diet. It will help with your genetic condition. Jesus can and is most willing to cure your genetic condition. Ask him. He has to reatomize you.
Tina’s life Living with NF1 May God bless you, His Beloved One 💜
The Father sees everything that you are doing....and you are deeply loved.💕🙏
God bless you and your family God is good I been keeping you guys in my prayers

What a testimony! I needed this! Thank-you for your transparency!
Thanks for watching it Annie!
Praise God! God bless you and your beautiful family
This story is so amazing and powerful. I can't believe what Courtney and her family have been through. It's amazing how strong she is.
Thank you for the reminder that even though the process is seemingly crushing, that it is to be an anointing oil on the other side. Blessings to you all for sharing your stories. Such power in stories. Just thank you. And thank you Keira for being a vehicle of blessing and change. May God pour his blessings ten fold what you have poured onto others.
An incredible reminder indeed...that's why I started this podcast b/c I need the reminders and inspirations!
Thanks for sharing y’all story! I have Crohn’s disease and it’s so hard when having a flare.
Thank you for sharing Susan!
You have a beautiful soul,Courtney god bless you
Just when 'Without You' starts playing on my playlist right now, this video shows up on my notification. wow. Not a coincidence I guess.
God Bless You And Your Family 👪 🙏 ❤ Blessings Love And Light And Healing ❤❤❤❤
Wow! Great testimony!
Thanks so much for checking it out Mary!!
You made the name for KING & COUNTRY right. THANK YOU!!!

It is always in my struggles that I am more open to the Lord. Have had physical issues as well but the way God used it for His glory was so awesome! God bless you Courtney and Luke!
Thanks for sharing Suzanne!
Thank You for your Wonderful Testimony
So good right Nickie??
@@UnlockYourFreedom yes
@@UnlockYourFreedom yes it is
Love y’all guys ❤️
This inspired me! God bless you both! Your story gave me hope, because right now I am going thru some injuries and illness myself. I have CRPS/RSD, I need surgery on my shoulder, anemia, and an enlarged spleen. I spend a lot of time in bed. I also have been dating my bf for 17 months now. My bf has taken me to Dr. visits, brought me food, made me food, he has always been there. I was worried he wasn't going to stick by me, due all the heath problems. I thank God for him! God is more concerned about our hearts and God has our highest and best! Even thru the hard times HE IS SO GOOD, even tho we don't understand why? PRAISE HIS HOLY NAME!!!!
Thank you so much for sharing this with me Rachel, love it!
I love this 😭 beautiful 💓
me too!
Ive had chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia since age 15. Im now 45. Ive been sick every day. It is hard to take care of my kids when i can barely get out of bed many days. They dont understand. Im always sick and tired, even on better days. Life is very hard. At least i have Jesus and hope of a better eternity.
I, too, have Chronic Fatigue. I go to a pain management physiatrist who uses some “alternative “ therapies. Nothing new age or questionable. I have been taking Low Dose Naltrexone for three years, and it has helped me tremendously. It IS NOT a narcotic, nor is it an opioid. It is only available through a compounding pharmacy. Perhaps it is something that might help you.
Amen.
Thank you for your Beautiful Testimony 🙏❤ God Bless your Marriage forever! Praise be to God he's in remission and I declare in Jesus name he is healed! 🙌🙏❤
I love so much
❤️🙏
Thankyou for sharing this its a really big deal. I think youre amazing and i think that not only comes from God but you not giving up on Godveven when maybe you wanted too xx

I'm reading this in Dec 2019. I really hope things are better for you. God loves you. Keep your head up. It does get better.
kelsey Amber , Please read the book of Mark. Christ is the only one that can be there for us all the time. I’ve been made fun of for my weight but I know that He still loves me no matter what. If u follow Jesus He will do the same for u. He didn’t die for us for nothing
How are you doing lately? Keep on keeping on, and fight the good fight, my friend!
I love hearing about their marriage...i hope i can find someone like that...im trying to not go back to a relationship that wasnt healthy
Wait ,Hannah, The LORD knows who is right for you. The worst thing is to be unevenly yoked.⚘
I'm also a Christian and I had a small stroke and looking back at that I know that know that my Christian faith and the angels and the holy spirit were there to see me recover in time amen
Thanks for sharing this Paul!
With my Christian faith I'm happy to bless other Christians
I was healed and I believe in it I was healed in august 1..2022 like in June and the date was in place in Jesus and now I am restored and bigger then when I was strong in sickness
God bless you Courtney

I have lupus, sjogrens, rheumatoid arthritis just to start. I was the same when I was first diagnosed with lupus, i was so sick and lost so much weight, there were times I didn’t want to live. I was angry and pissed off at God. I felt I had been through enough in my life. I lost my mom when I was 4, I grieved the loss of my mother for years. I was sexually abuse starting at 2 off and on for 3 years. An abusive father and step mother. I had no control over anything and I was angry. But through a lot of years and counseling and loving people God began to break down the walls of hate and I began to heal. My illnesses don’t control me. I know Gods plan is so much bigger than I am.
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💕💕
Thank you Courtney, my husband and l have been married 42 yrs, it has been a wounded marriage, but our vows were before God, and we have endured, l suffer from mental illness, a dna clinical thing, a child who is a heroin addict 21 years, another child, a double stroke at age 26, now in the sunset of our yrs, my husband has extreme dementia, 3 of our grandchildren, murdered by ex daughter in law, on and on, and l suffer from colitis also, Do i ask God why, no, l know our future, and one day we will be with our Savior Jesus,
Bless you: out granddaughter was also murdered by het fiance when she tried to protect her 18-month old from him
.
I can hear Luke’s accent in her voice
haha yesssss!
But Courtney's mentor was sent by God, so God did hold her through it
Courtney you are beautiful!
by the way how did you find this video?? i noticed a huge uptick in views yesterday and i'm not sure how/why haha!
@@UnlockYourFreedom it was a recommendation
@@sarahlee8022 same
My teacher said if you want to be a boy believe in yourself! And don’t believe what others don’t believe!
This is da real wonder women!!!
Sometimes God lowers the hedge for us to be able to honor Him and have faith. God will make away, He is a healing God that will turn things around. Have faith and strongly praise Him. He wants us to be closer more and more. The enemy attacks many with sickness and pain, but God is faithful.
Happy ending through all the struggles with God. My fiancé died by suicide, through years of pleading and fervent prayers. Sometimes the answer is no from God. I am so happy for wonderful testimonies but it leaves one feeling abandoned by God when things don’t go as hoped .
This title was clearly not what I expected it to truly be about. Not about divorce. Just fyi for anyone else who may be thinking the same thing before you listen.
Which one is her husband
Luke Smallbone, curly haired!
Luke
Always look to God. No matter what happens. God isnt angry because you react in anger. He understand we dont see the WHOLE PICTURE!! Shalom!!
JESUS WAS pulling you through your hard season, by way of Cindy(your mentor). HE was loving you through Cindy. HE IS MIGHTY TO SAVE!! AMEN!!
Jesus heals. Believe!
Question, why did God put THC receptors in our bodies? I think he wants us to use thc in a responsible way for our infirmaties?
It's time to open your bibles and look back at the healing miracles Jesus did and then sent out his 12 disciples to do the same. God has given us ALL authority to trample on snakes which means you have the power through the Holy Spirit to be healed and delivered from ALL sickness and disease. Demons make you sick and if you repent of your sins and do a deliverance prayer the Holy Spirit will kick these demons out of your life and restore your health to new.
Why does everyone blame God when they have a problem, or think that they have to have this perfect life, just because they are a Christian. The Bible never promises us a care-free life, or that we would never have any problems. Actually it says just the opposite!
Sister Rose Acts 14:22 “confirming the souls of the disciples, exhorting them to continue in the faith, and that through many tribulations we must enter the kingdom of God.”
We know our life will not be perfect, we know we will have struggles. It’s different to know it vs. live through it. It’s human, so incredibly human and normal. We need to go through those feelings, not deny them.
