In an e-mail on Saturday morning, November 6, 2010, Stan Oliver, from Orlando, FL, wrote the following:
"Eve's visit to the Oncologist reveals: Mass in Larynx...Problem in Lymph Nodes... and Nodules in the lungs. They will treat these problems with a "cocktail" of chemo (4 different kinds) + Prednisone... They will install a port early next week in which they will drip the chemo.
"Doctor says that she will lose her hair within 3 weeks and will become very nauseated...The hair will grow back...Her first treatment will be Friday the 12th at 9 A.M.
"Please continue to pray,
Stan Oliver"
[Editor's Note: Here is my response to Stan and Eve:
Dear Stan,
I am grateful that you have confided in Melvine and me this latest news about Eve. It appears that the cancer was more extensive than earlier reported, i. e., not only cancer in the larynx, but in the lymph nodes and nodules in her lungs.
We thank God for good doctors, medical science, and the "cocktail" of chemo. It is my belief that Eve doesn't have to lose her hair or even get nauseated. My prayer is that she will not have to experience those symptoms at all.
Let me share with you statement of faith written by Patrick Henry, that great Virginia Statesman, American Patriot, and a prominent figure in the American Revolution who had boldly declared, "Give me liberty, or give me death":
In the front of an old Family Bible, these words were found—
"This Book contains the mind of God, the state of man, the way
of salvation, the doom of sinners, and the happiness of believers.
Its doctrines are holy, its precepts are binding, its histories are
true, and it decisions are immutable.
"Read it to be wise, believe it to be safe, and practice it to be holy.
It contains light to direct you, food to support you, and comfort to
cheer you. It is the traveler's map, the pilgrim's staff, the pilot's
compass, the soldier's sword, and the Christian's charter. Here
Paradise is restored, Heaven opened, and the Gates of Hell disclosed.
"Christ is its Grand Subject, our good its design, and the Glory of
God its end. It should fill the memory, rule the heart, and guide
the feet.
"Read it slowly, frequently, and prayerfully. It is a mine of wealth,
a paradise of glory, and a river of pleasure. It is given you in life,
will be opened at the judgment, and be remembered forever.
It involves the highest responsibility, rewards the greatest labor,
and condemns all who trifle with its holy contents. This volume
is the Word of GOD."
"It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great
nation was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on
religions, but on the gospel of Jesus Christ!"
- Patrick Henry -
God has designed nothing but good for Eve. His Word says that God will withhold no good thing from them who walk uprightly. It is my prayer that every good and perfect gift, which includes healing, will be given to Eve by a loving and extravagant generous God Who does all things well for our good and His glory. The Apostle Paul said, "Nothing can ever separate us from God's love."
That is my ministry to you and Eve this Saturday morning.
We are standing with you in believing prayer. I truly believe that when we pray we are not just sowing tears, we are sowing words of focused faith that will release the power of God to work in Eve's behalf.
Let me give Eve a Special Word from the Lord:
God’s Word is at work in Eve Nicholson Oliver's body,
Driving out all manner of sickness and disease,
And creating in her body a perfect cure,
For the Glory of God,
The good of Eve,
And for a testimony of God’s compassion, love and mercy, His healing power,
and His Saving grace!
“Where the Healing Waters Flow”
Oh, the joy of sins forgiven,
Oh, the bliss the blood-washed know,
Oh, the peace akin to heaven,
Where the healing waters flow.
Where the healing waters flow,
Where the joys celestial glow
Oh, there’s peace and rest and love,
Where the healing waters flow.
Now with Jesus crucified
At His feet I’m resting low,
Let me evermore abide
Where the healing waters flow.
Oh, this precious perfect love!
How it keeps the heart aglow,
Streaming from the fount above,
Where the healing waters flow.
Oh, to lean on Jesus’ breast,
While the tempests come and go!
Here is blessed peace and rest,
Where the healing waters flow.
Cleansed from every sin and stain,
Whiter than the driven snow,
Now I sing my sweet refrain,
Where the healing waters flow.
Where the healing waters flow,
Where the joys celestial glow
Oh, there’s peace and rest and love,
Where the healing waters flow.]
