Update on Cindy

8-6-2007

Dear Friends and Family,

The purpose of this e-mail is to update everyone on Cindy’s condition. Cindy had surgery Monday morning starting at about 11 am. The procedure lasted three hours. She did well with the surgery.

The hard fact is the tumor is an extension of breast cancer. The tumor involves many organs in her lower abdomen including her uterus, bladder and colon. The surgeon biopsied the tumor but was unable to remove it. The plan now is for Cindy to heal from the surgery then start chemotherapy to shrink and eliminate the tumor. She should recover quickly from the surgery and be discharged from the hospital in 3 to 5 days. Cindy is in room 441 at Sacred Heart Hospital in Spokane.

Please stand in faith with us and agree with the Word. Psalm 16 is a great place to start. Please read it with great faith. Psalm 16: Preserve me, O God, for in You I put my trust. O my soul, you have said to the Lord, “You are my Lord, my goodness is nothing apart from You. As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones in whom is all my delight.” Their sorrows shall be multiplied who hasten after another god; their drink offerings of blood I will not offer, nor take up their names on my lips. O Lord, You are the portion of my inheritance and my cup; You maintain my lot. The lines have fallen to me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good inheritance. I will bless the Lord Who has given me counsel; my heart also instructs me in the night seasons. I have set the Lord always before me; because He is at my right hand I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoices; my flesh also will rest in hope. For You will not leave my soul in Sheol, nor will You allow Your Holy One to see corruption. You will show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy; at Your right hand are pleasures forevermore.

Some key areas of prayer are:

· That God would Sovereignly intervene and heal.

· That the chemotherapy and subsequent treatments would be effective and remove the tumor.

· That the Peace of God would rest upon Cindy and the rest of the Holben family during this time.

The Body of Christ is a blessing to us.

In His Love,

The Holbens

I cancel the spirit of cancer and the spirit of death that is attacking Cindy by the Blood of Jesus. I replace it with total healing and restoration as the Word says. She is a child of GOD and we call forth her inheritance as a King's Kid in Jesus name. Cindy's body MUST come in line with the Word of GOD in Jesus' Name! AMEN

Blessing & Peace in Jesus

Dear Cindy,
This is the Word of God and your body, thoughts, and circumstances must come in line with it.

Jeremiah 29:11-14a
"'For I know the plans that I have for you,'declares the Lord, 'plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope.
'Then you will call upon Me and come and pray to Me and I will listen to you.
'You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.
'I will be found by you,' declares the Lord, 'and I will restore your fortunes..."

I thought I would add more but this says a lot. God's plans are for welfare and a future. I know you know this, but I want you to know I am claiming it for you also.
Be blessed with a lot of His' love,
Jess

Dear Cindy & Barry
As I was praying for you last night the scripture verse in Romans 8:11 came to mind, so I am declaring over you that:

"The Spirit of God who raised Jesus from the dead lives in you And just as He raised Christ from the dead, He will give life to your mortal body by this same Spirit living within you!"

Holy Spirit, rise up within Cindy and Barry and bring your life, healing and peace.

Our love and prayers are with you. Kathy
