5. Depression kills cancer patients very fast, so, always rejoice in God’s presence through thanksgiving.
Christians get cancer through heredity or exposure to carcinogenic substances and risk factors mentioned above. Don’t be ignorant of the fact that misusing the grace of GOD like the Israelites might be disastrous.
This does not change the fact that GOD is loving. He is a disciplinarian and chastise His loved ones for their good.
I implore you to live a healthy lifestyle and stay away from foods and drinks preserved with chemicals. And, stay away from many body creams and cosmetics that contains heavy metals which could be carcinogenic.
May the mercy, power and healing from the LORD be upon all of us in Jesus name.
