The secret to change
00:00:01.36\00:00:02.70
is to focus all of our energies
00:00:02.73\00:00:05.00
not on resisting the bad,
00:00:05.03\00:00:08.40
but to incorporate the new.
00:00:08.44\00:00:10.81
Today's program is entitled
"Tools for Transformation."
00:00:10.84\00:00:15.54
Be with us.
00:00:15.58\00:00:16.91
Hi, and welcome
to Abundant Living.
00:00:38.67\00:00:40.80
My name is Curtis Eakins,
and this is my beautiful bride
00:00:40.84\00:00:44.97
of almost 25 years
00:00:45.01\00:00:48.01
at the time of this taping.
00:00:48.04\00:00:50.75
I can do it now. Yes, you can.
00:00:50.78\00:00:52.11
Okay, Paula Eakins.
00:00:52.15\00:00:53.75
Very good.
00:00:53.78\00:00:55.12
Kind of delayed, but
I'm glad you said it.
00:00:55.15\00:00:56.92
Well, you were kind of talking
00:00:56.95\00:00:58.29
and I was not sure, I
didn't want to interrupt you.
00:00:58.32\00:00:59.65
All right.
00:00:59.69\00:01:01.02
You're looking
mighty good today.
00:01:01.06\00:01:02.39
Praise Him. Yes.
00:01:02.42\00:01:03.76
Hair is already "Fried,
dyed and laid to the side,"
00:01:03.79\00:01:05.76
as you sometimes will say.
00:01:05.79\00:01:08.20
Well, let's say...
00:01:08.23\00:01:10.20
No comment on
that statement, well,
00:01:10.23\00:01:11.77
you just want to go to
Tools for Transformation, right?
00:01:11.80\00:01:14.27
Yeah, yeah. Okay.
00:01:14.30\00:01:16.17
Because I'm always transforming.
00:01:16.20\00:01:17.54
Yes, 'cause you didn't want
00:01:17.57\00:01:18.91
to touch your
hair, you're just...
00:01:18.94\00:01:20.28
I'm always transforming.
00:01:20.31\00:01:21.64
Just over to the
Tools for Transformation.
00:01:21.68\00:01:23.01
I am. Yes. I hear you, my dear.
00:01:23.04\00:01:24.38
Yes! Okay!
00:01:24.41\00:01:25.75
Well, anyway,
00:01:25.78\00:01:27.12
we've been doing a
series called The HEALERS
00:01:27.15\00:01:28.48
for a number of months now.
00:01:28.52\00:01:30.05
And this is at the
end of that series.
00:01:30.09\00:01:32.89
Those who are not with
us, we cover an acronym.
00:01:32.92\00:01:35.49
And the acronym
is HEALERS, HEALERS.
00:01:35.52\00:01:37.79
Want to get that individuals
00:01:37.83\00:01:40.00
to reduce the
dependence on medication.
00:01:40.03\00:01:42.86
And so therefore,
00:01:42.90\00:01:44.23
we have the H
for herbal medicine,
00:01:44.27\00:01:47.34
head to E for eating,
00:01:47.37\00:01:49.64
A for adoration.
00:01:49.67\00:01:51.01
That's prayer,
praise, and music.
00:01:51.04\00:01:53.27
L for water.
00:01:53.31\00:01:54.84
Water and juicing,
this is a powerful healer.
00:01:54.88\00:01:57.65
E for exercise,
00:01:57.68\00:01:59.41
R for rest,
00:01:59.45\00:02:01.25
S for sunlight.
00:02:01.28\00:02:02.62
And now to put it all together,
wrapping it up on this series.
00:02:02.65\00:02:06.29
Now Tools for Transformation.
00:02:06.32\00:02:09.49
Tool for Transformation.
00:02:09.52\00:02:11.03
And so we always start
with a word of God first.
00:02:11.06\00:02:13.66
And then also may
have some statements
00:02:13.70\00:02:15.46
in our workbook as well.
00:02:15.50\00:02:17.57
We do have a workbook.
00:02:17.60\00:02:18.93
We were working all out
00:02:18.97\00:02:20.30
for the last several months now,
00:02:20.34\00:02:22.17
the seven powerful healers.
00:02:22.20\00:02:23.54
And we did this
class at our church,
00:02:23.57\00:02:25.54
First Church in
Huntsville, Alabama.
00:02:25.57\00:02:28.04
At least what twice
or three times I believe.
00:02:28.08\00:02:30.58
We done it in camp meeting.
00:02:30.61\00:02:31.95
In our camp meeting
there, Oakwood University.
00:02:31.98\00:02:34.05
And I think we
had a health retreat
00:02:34.08\00:02:36.02
on the powerful healers as well.
00:02:36.05\00:02:38.12
So we thought we'd
do this as a series
00:02:38.15\00:02:39.72
here at the
Abundant Living as well.
00:02:39.75\00:02:42.12
And so we have a
text here, Honey.
00:02:42.16\00:02:45.79
And I'm gonna have
this as a springboard
00:02:45.83\00:02:47.83
and then I'm going
to just more or less
00:02:47.86\00:02:50.27
kind of turn you
loose on some things.
00:02:50.30\00:02:52.50
So let's go to the Word of God.
00:02:52.53\00:02:54.24
This is Romans Chapter 12
00:02:54.27\00:02:56.54
and I'm gonna
start with verse 1.
00:02:56.57\00:02:59.17
Romans Chapter 12,
00:02:59.21\00:03:00.71
I wanna read verse 1
00:03:00.74\00:03:02.08
and we're gonna go
to verse 2 as well.
00:03:02.11\00:03:03.68
Right.
00:03:03.71\00:03:05.05
Verse 1, "I beseech, urge,
00:03:05.08\00:03:09.12
bake you therefore, brethren."
00:03:09.15\00:03:14.02
Now, he's talking to
professed Christians.
00:03:14.06\00:03:17.06
"Brethren,
00:03:17.09\00:03:18.43
by the mercies of God,
00:03:18.46\00:03:21.56
that ye present your bodies
00:03:21.60\00:03:24.10
as a living sacrifice.
00:03:24.13\00:03:28.07
Not a dead one, but a living,
00:03:28.10\00:03:30.47
alive sacrifice," how?
00:03:30.51\00:03:33.94
"Holy, acceptable unto God,
00:03:33.98\00:03:37.61
which is your
reasonable service."
00:03:37.65\00:03:40.22
Now Verse 2.
00:03:40.25\00:03:41.62
This is going to
add to the foundation
00:03:41.65\00:03:43.82
of our discussion today.
00:03:43.85\00:03:46.29
"Be not
conformed to this world."
00:03:46.32\00:03:50.53
That's number one.
00:03:50.56\00:03:52.29
But now there's a
shift, a transition
00:03:52.33\00:03:55.26
that tells us what not to do.
00:03:55.30\00:03:57.47
Do not be
conformed to this world,
00:03:57.50\00:03:59.57
so what should
will be conformed to.
00:03:59.60\00:04:02.20
But be ye transformed how?
00:04:02.24\00:04:07.18
By the renewing
of your mind, how?
00:04:07.21\00:04:11.11
That ye may prove
what is that good,
00:04:11.15\00:04:14.22
and acceptable,
00:04:14.25\00:04:15.95
and perfect will of God.
00:04:15.98\00:04:19.35
So we're talking about
tools for transformation.
00:04:19.39\00:04:24.26
We talked a lot about
over the last several months
00:04:24.29\00:04:26.63
about the HEALERS, the acronym,
00:04:26.66\00:04:28.60
the program we've
been doing all along.
00:04:28.63\00:04:31.07
And so now we want to talk about
00:04:31.10\00:04:32.83
how to make some transition,
some changes in our lives,
00:04:32.87\00:04:36.87
so that we can live better lives
00:04:36.91\00:04:39.91
and be a living sacrifice
00:04:39.94\00:04:41.91
to where the Bible
says we need to be.
00:04:41.94\00:04:43.81
Now, there are some things
00:04:43.85\00:04:45.41
that we need to do as far
as tools for transformation.
00:04:45.45\00:04:48.28
And also there's something that
00:04:48.32\00:04:50.89
several verse
we need to look at,
00:04:50.92\00:04:52.62
give us some steps
for transformation.
00:04:52.65\00:04:54.39
Okay.
00:04:54.42\00:04:55.76
The first one is,
before we can change
00:04:55.79\00:04:58.89
we must first acknowledge.
00:04:58.93\00:05:00.66
Okay.
00:05:00.70\00:05:02.03
We cannot change
00:05:02.06\00:05:03.40
unless we acknowledge something.
00:05:03.43\00:05:05.50
Two, we must be motivated.
00:05:05.53\00:05:08.20
To do that, once we acknowledge
that we do have a situation.
00:05:08.24\00:05:11.84
Three, we must have
some type of a plan in place.
00:05:11.87\00:05:16.81
And then now
four, we must go ahead
00:05:16.85\00:05:18.65
and execute it,
put it in action.
00:05:18.68\00:05:20.75
And then five must
have some type of way
00:05:20.78\00:05:23.18
to maintain that
change in our lifestyle
00:05:23.22\00:05:27.09
to make it better as well.
00:05:27.12\00:05:28.49
So first of all,
00:05:28.52\00:05:30.26
we must acknowledge
that we have a situation,
00:05:30.29\00:05:32.56
a problem, health
condition, whatever,
00:05:32.59\00:05:34.93
be motivated to change,
00:05:34.96\00:05:37.37
have a action plan
that's prayed over,
00:05:37.40\00:05:41.04
execute,
00:05:41.07\00:05:42.40
put the plan into practice
and then also maintain it,
00:05:42.44\00:05:45.31
whatever we were doing
and keep it going as well.
00:05:45.34\00:05:47.84
So with that in mind, Honey,
00:05:47.88\00:05:50.05
I'm gonna just kind
of like turn you loose
00:05:50.08\00:05:51.98
because there's something
00:05:52.01\00:05:53.45
that God allow to
happen in our family
00:05:53.48\00:05:57.15
some years ago
00:05:57.19\00:05:58.65
that created this change
00:05:58.69\00:06:02.49
in some processes
that we had to go through.
00:06:02.52\00:06:05.59
And it really
proved to be a blessing
00:06:05.63\00:06:08.20
to our ministry as well.
00:06:08.23\00:06:09.60
So that's all I'm going to
say but share with the people,
00:06:09.63\00:06:12.47
Honey, about situation
where God allow this situation
00:06:12.50\00:06:16.07
to come into our lives
00:06:16.10\00:06:17.44
as a husband and wife.
00:06:17.47\00:06:18.97
Of course, I like
the fact that you said
00:06:19.01\00:06:20.34
the word transformation.
00:06:20.38\00:06:22.48
Transform.
00:06:22.51\00:06:23.85
Rather than a transforming,
rather than a word change.
00:06:23.88\00:06:27.12
Right.
00:06:27.15\00:06:28.48
We don't like that word
change. Yeah, we don't. Yes.
00:06:28.52\00:06:30.15
We get fearful of
the word change, okay?
00:06:30.19\00:06:32.55
But I'm gonna try to
see if I can just keep it
00:06:32.59\00:06:34.69
within the
numbers of that comments
00:06:34.72\00:06:36.42
that you were actually
making about the first one,
00:06:36.46\00:06:38.56
about acknowledgement.
00:06:38.59\00:06:40.10
I think for me,
00:06:40.13\00:06:41.46
for what
acknowledgement was that
00:06:41.50\00:06:42.83
once I was
diagnosed with breast cancer.
00:06:42.86\00:06:46.17
I was kind of
surprised first of all, okay?
00:06:46.20\00:06:48.84
Okay.
00:06:48.87\00:06:50.21
And in that
diagnosis of knowing that
00:06:50.24\00:06:52.67
that's what they
were saying the stage,
00:06:52.71\00:06:54.04
the grading and all that,
00:06:54.08\00:06:55.41
then I knew that
something had to take place.
00:06:55.44\00:06:57.41
No, no. I'm just stopping now.
00:06:57.45\00:06:59.28
So prior to this, you've
been doing your mammogram
00:06:59.31\00:07:02.08
and self breast exam all along.
00:07:02.12\00:07:04.95
Okay.
00:07:04.99\00:07:06.32
And also, of course,
everybody gets really...
00:07:06.35\00:07:07.92
also a vegan vegetarian.
00:07:07.96\00:07:09.42
Okay.
00:07:09.46\00:07:10.79
So already a
plant-based diet for many years
00:07:10.83\00:07:12.93
and exercise, water, etcetera.
00:07:12.96\00:07:14.56
Okay.
00:07:14.60\00:07:15.93
And so with that in mind,
00:07:15.96\00:07:17.30
so that was where the
surprise came from, all right?
00:07:17.33\00:07:19.37
And no breast
cancer or ovarian cancer
00:07:19.40\00:07:21.84
in your family history?
00:07:21.87\00:07:23.20
None. Yes.
00:07:23.24\00:07:24.57
Okay. Okay.
00:07:24.61\00:07:25.94
And so with that in mind,
00:07:25.97\00:07:27.31
I remember that
once the doctors said,
00:07:27.34\00:07:28.74
gave me the
diagnosis that I remember
00:07:28.78\00:07:30.51
just starting to pray right away
00:07:30.55\00:07:32.35
because, of course, right there
00:07:32.38\00:07:33.72
they were talking
about some heavy surgery,
00:07:33.75\00:07:35.85
they were talking about chemo,
radiation, hormone treatment.
00:07:35.88\00:07:39.72
And then when he said to
me, there's a possibility that
00:07:39.75\00:07:42.19
it could already
be in your bones.
00:07:42.22\00:07:44.13
That was like, okay,
all right, first of all,
00:07:44.16\00:07:46.29
it was way too
much to hit it one time
00:07:46.33\00:07:48.33
he even say that.
00:07:48.36\00:07:49.70
And I think the doctor
said for a minute then he left.
00:07:49.73\00:07:51.37
When he left, the nurse came up
00:07:51.40\00:07:52.73
and pushed the paper
in front of me saying that
00:07:52.77\00:07:54.50
it was time for me to go head on
00:07:54.54\00:07:55.90
and had the bone
test on that next morning.
00:07:55.94\00:07:58.81
The next morning. All right.
00:07:58.84\00:08:00.18
And so the motivation
part, the motivation part was,
00:08:00.21\00:08:04.18
of course, I want to live.
00:08:04.21\00:08:05.91
And in that, I want to
know what God had for me.
00:08:05.95\00:08:10.02
He is my God, He's my Lord,
He's my Savior, He's my Father.
00:08:10.05\00:08:14.32
He's the first one I go
to when stuff happens to me.
00:08:14.36\00:08:16.42
He is the first one.
00:08:16.46\00:08:17.83
And mainly because everything
I've ever been through,
00:08:17.86\00:08:21.06
since accepting Him
as my personal Savior,
00:08:21.10\00:08:22.73
and He has just shown me
00:08:22.76\00:08:24.10
how He is in
charge of everything,
00:08:24.13\00:08:26.03
so that
motivation I want to live.
00:08:26.07\00:08:28.34
But also told the Father that
whatever your will is for me,
00:08:28.37\00:08:32.24
that's what I want.
00:08:32.27\00:08:33.61
So whether it was to live
00:08:33.64\00:08:35.04
or whether it
was to go to sleep,
00:08:35.08\00:08:36.41
whichever it was, I was okay.
00:08:36.44\00:08:38.28
That helped to calm me
down as well, all right?
00:08:38.31\00:08:39.71
Okay. Let...
00:08:39.75\00:08:41.08
Now, I need to stop you
here because with that in mind,
00:08:41.12\00:08:45.45
some people will not acknowledge
00:08:45.49\00:08:49.12
that they have cancer.
00:08:49.16\00:08:51.13
Some people
have call their house
00:08:51.16\00:08:53.46
and they will tell us a,
00:08:53.50\00:08:54.83
Curtis, Paula,
I'm not receiving it.
00:08:54.86\00:08:57.13
The doctor said I have cancer,
but I'm not receiving it.
00:08:57.17\00:09:00.74
I'm not gonna accept that.
00:09:00.77\00:09:02.40
You don't even acknowledge,
so there's no need to change
00:09:02.44\00:09:05.64
if we don't even acknowledge.
00:09:05.67\00:09:07.21
That's true. That is true.
00:09:07.24\00:09:09.04
However, we both
before this experience,
00:09:09.08\00:09:12.38
we were actually
speakers about cancer.
00:09:12.41\00:09:14.08
That's right.
00:09:14.12\00:09:15.45
The different stages of
cancer, so it was almost like,
00:09:15.48\00:09:17.52
prior to what I was gonna
go on years, years earlier.
00:09:17.55\00:09:20.49
We had already learned
and was educating people
00:09:20.52\00:09:22.66
on the stages of cancer.
00:09:22.69\00:09:24.03
So once we heard it, we
knew what was going on now.
00:09:24.06\00:09:26.26
Yes, it is true.
00:09:26.29\00:09:27.63
People call me up
and say things like,
00:09:27.66\00:09:29.06
"I'm not gonna acknowledge it.
00:09:29.10\00:09:30.43
I'm gonna go by faith
and God's gonna be good."
00:09:30.47\00:09:32.20
But you know,
you got to be real,
00:09:32.23\00:09:33.90
you got to be real.
00:09:33.94\00:09:35.27
Once cancer hits,
it is a massive cell.
00:09:35.30\00:09:37.87
It has major
cells within itself.
00:09:37.91\00:09:40.44
It has the potential
to move to the brain,
00:09:40.48\00:09:42.44
the bone, lung,
and liver metastasize.
00:09:42.48\00:09:44.58
So you got to get in
and get that core out.
00:09:44.61\00:09:46.72
It is the only disease, Curtis,
00:09:46.75\00:09:48.42
that builds its
own separate bloodline.
00:09:48.45\00:09:50.49
And it will actually transfer
the cells itself into an area
00:09:50.52\00:09:55.36
that can actually
take your life and so,
00:09:55.39\00:09:57.16
I wasn't going to be
like doing a faith walk.
00:09:57.19\00:09:59.26
I knew that I
needed to have surgery.
00:09:59.29\00:10:01.20
And I need to stop you
again because a lot of people,
00:10:01.23\00:10:03.87
just got a call just
yesterday, just yesterday,
00:10:03.90\00:10:07.04
where a person has cancer
and refused to have surgery.
00:10:07.07\00:10:12.74
That choice where he's
trying to still do it natural,
00:10:12.77\00:10:16.14
but the cancer is
still in his system
00:10:16.18\00:10:18.01
it's gonna be more
challenging than have surgery,
00:10:18.05\00:10:20.68
at least you needs
to have a good start.
00:10:20.72\00:10:22.18
Yeah, you got to
get the core out.
00:10:22.22\00:10:23.99
We talked to Dr. Agatha
Thrash with my second opinion.
00:10:24.02\00:10:27.19
She said, "Sister
Paula, get the surgery
00:10:27.22\00:10:29.86
and then let's go natural,
00:10:29.89\00:10:31.23
but let's get the
surgery and get the core,
00:10:31.26\00:10:32.69
the mother out."
00:10:32.73\00:10:34.06
Okay.
00:10:34.10\00:10:35.43
So now, what kind of plan,
now, the third one is a plan.
00:10:35.46\00:10:38.03
So you didn't do that
though chemotherapy, radiation,
00:10:38.07\00:10:41.80
hormone treatment to drugs,
so you have to have a plan,
00:10:41.84\00:10:44.87
if you not gonna do that,
what kind of plan did you have?
00:10:44.91\00:10:47.78
I know what it is,
but I'm asking you.
00:10:47.81\00:10:50.11
Well, you know,
we began talking,
00:10:50.15\00:10:51.48
we began praying.
00:10:51.51\00:10:52.85
And we began
pulling in our pastors,
00:10:52.88\00:10:55.62
prayer warriors, all
my friends, my family.
00:10:55.65\00:10:58.42
You started talking,
you started doing research.
00:10:58.45\00:11:00.29
We talked to Dr. Thrash,
00:11:00.32\00:11:01.69
we start what is
the alternative plan
00:11:01.72\00:11:03.32
because what
they were suggesting
00:11:03.36\00:11:05.19
was six months
chemo, six weeks radiation,
00:11:05.23\00:11:09.00
and three to five
years hormone treatment.
00:11:09.03\00:11:10.90
My question and we said
this before on the show,
00:11:10.93\00:11:13.23
I asked my oncologist,
with what you're saying to me,
00:11:13.27\00:11:16.24
what could be the side effects
of any of this thing going on?
00:11:16.27\00:11:19.01
And he said, "Okay, Paula,
00:11:19.04\00:11:20.91
there's a possibility
that you will lose your hair,
00:11:20.94\00:11:23.35
you'll become very lethargic.
00:11:23.38\00:11:25.05
You also warming a lot,
00:11:25.08\00:11:26.51
but we can stop
you from doing that.
00:11:26.55\00:11:28.05
You could possibly work,
00:11:28.08\00:11:29.42
wind up with a
congestive heart failure
00:11:29.45\00:11:31.32
and breakage of the hip,
00:11:31.35\00:11:34.42
the wrists and the vertebrae
00:11:34.46\00:11:36.26
to which I said, "How
does that sound to you?"
00:11:36.29\00:11:39.06
How does that sound to you?
00:11:39.09\00:11:40.43
'Cause I want know
what you're saying to me
00:11:40.46\00:11:42.86
it doesn't sound good,
00:11:42.90\00:11:44.23
so we're going to
pray and I went away.
00:11:44.27\00:11:45.90
My plan was Dr. Thrash
asked me to come to Uchee Pines.
00:11:45.93\00:11:48.90
Now, I need to stop
00:11:48.94\00:11:50.31
'cause you keep
saying Dr. Thrash.
00:11:50.34\00:11:51.67
Okay.
00:11:51.71\00:11:53.04
Now this is a medical
doctor and also a pathologist,
00:11:53.07\00:11:55.68
who at the time was the director
00:11:55.71\00:11:57.91
of a lifestyle facility
in Uchee Pines, Alabama,
00:11:57.95\00:12:02.45
been there since the 1970s.
00:12:02.48\00:12:04.52
Yeah.
00:12:04.55\00:12:05.89
People all over the
world go to that facility
00:12:05.92\00:12:07.69
for all kinds of treatments.
00:12:07.72\00:12:09.12
So that's Dr. Thrash, yes.
00:12:09.16\00:12:10.49
Okay, so I'm glad
you helped me with that.
00:12:10.53\00:12:12.59
Okay. Okay, 'cause I'm moving.
00:12:12.63\00:12:13.96
Yes, okay.
00:12:14.00\00:12:15.33
So I went away to Uchee Pines.
00:12:15.36\00:12:17.27
And the thing
that was so amazing.
00:12:17.30\00:12:19.07
I want to say to you
that it's amazing to watch
00:12:19.10\00:12:21.70
how Father God works.
00:12:21.74\00:12:23.07
He actually charts
all of our journeys,
00:12:23.10\00:12:24.94
He knows the way we are going.
00:12:24.97\00:12:26.54
As a matter of fact,
He says that He has count
00:12:26.57\00:12:28.94
of all our hairs on our head.
00:12:28.98\00:12:30.31
And so He knows it
all, so who better to go to.
00:12:30.35\00:12:33.08
I went to Him.
00:12:33.11\00:12:34.45
I asked Him for
leading me and for guiding me
00:12:34.48\00:12:36.99
and for directing me.
00:12:37.02\00:12:38.35
And through the
anointing service,
00:12:38.39\00:12:39.82
talking back and
forth to each other
00:12:39.85\00:12:41.46
we made the decision
00:12:41.49\00:12:42.82
that we were not
going to do chemo
00:12:42.86\00:12:44.19
and radiation and
hormone treatment.
00:12:44.23\00:12:45.73
Instead, we were
going to go all natural.
00:12:45.76\00:12:47.96
So that's the plan.
00:12:48.00\00:12:49.56
That's the plan. And we feel.
00:12:49.60\00:12:50.93
And this is
through prayer, folks.
00:12:50.97\00:12:52.30
Yes, yes.
00:12:52.33\00:12:53.67
Through prayer,
fasting, studying, and research,
00:12:53.70\00:12:56.34
and so we went the
complete natural route,
00:12:56.37\00:12:59.54
not going to any
details about that.
00:12:59.57\00:13:00.98
So we have a plan in place.
00:13:01.01\00:13:02.74
A lot of people,
I'm emphasizing this,
00:13:02.78\00:13:04.95
a lot of people may not want
to do the conventional route,
00:13:04.98\00:13:08.85
radiation, chemotherapy,
drugs, okay, I get that.
00:13:08.88\00:13:11.92
But they do not have
a well thought out plan
00:13:11.95\00:13:15.66
in place of that.
00:13:15.69\00:13:17.73
There's no plan in place.
00:13:17.76\00:13:19.09
Just not going to
do the chemotherapy,
00:13:19.13\00:13:20.96
radiation and the drug.
00:13:21.00\00:13:22.33
So you have to have a
plan something in its place.
00:13:22.36\00:13:25.57
And that's what God gave
us about the plan, all right?
00:13:25.60\00:13:28.07
Cancer is deadly.
00:13:28.10\00:13:30.87
The only thing I
can remember is that
00:13:30.91\00:13:32.47
when I went to the
Father about that word,
00:13:32.51\00:13:34.51
cancer, Father.
00:13:34.54\00:13:35.88
He said, Paula,
00:13:35.91\00:13:37.25
C does not just
stand for cancer.
00:13:37.28\00:13:38.88
C also stands for conqueror
and it also stands for Christ.
00:13:38.91\00:13:42.78
I am with you in this journey.
00:13:42.82\00:13:44.32
I will follow you along the way.
00:13:44.35\00:13:46.42
I will be leading
you some in a way.
00:13:46.45\00:13:48.62
I'll pick you up
somewhere in a way.
00:13:48.66\00:13:50.03
But the bottom line
is if you just trust Me
00:13:50.06\00:13:53.19
no matter what,
okay, just trust Me.
00:13:53.23\00:13:57.53
And that's exactly what I do.
00:13:57.57\00:13:59.40
I trust Him in everything. Yes.
00:13:59.43\00:14:01.70
So to me, it was
just my quiet time,
00:14:01.74\00:14:04.67
my devotional time.
00:14:04.71\00:14:06.04
Yes.
00:14:06.07\00:14:07.41
Sitting down,
talking to Him every morning
00:14:07.44\00:14:08.78
and singing and
reading the scriptures
00:14:08.81\00:14:10.18
and just letting me know.
00:14:10.21\00:14:11.78
I mean, God just blew
this thing out the word.
00:14:11.81\00:14:14.25
And what He did?
We had no insurance.
00:14:14.28\00:14:15.65
Yes.
00:14:15.68\00:14:17.02
We had no
insurance in our ministry
00:14:17.05\00:14:18.39
and Lord worked out everything
00:14:18.42\00:14:20.22
from all the
surgical amounts of money
00:14:20.26\00:14:22.46
that need to be for
me to have my surgery,
00:14:22.49\00:14:24.59
for all the things
00:14:24.63\00:14:25.96
I had to go
through after the surgery,
00:14:25.99\00:14:27.53
for all the money to go
to Uchee Pines for 21 days
00:14:27.56\00:14:30.33
I was there.
00:14:30.37\00:14:31.70
God took care of everything.
00:14:31.73\00:14:33.13
He said to me, if I can take
a coin out of a fish's mouth,
00:14:33.17\00:14:37.47
I can take care
of this and He did,
00:14:37.51\00:14:39.47
not one dime that I have to pay.
00:14:39.51\00:14:42.38
And God is a merciful God.
00:14:42.41\00:14:44.45
The plan was in
place, we execute a plan.
00:14:44.48\00:14:47.45
And now that
maintenance part, right?
00:14:47.48\00:14:49.98
That maintenance
part is not only did
00:14:50.02\00:14:52.52
I learn at Uchee Pines,
00:14:52.55\00:14:53.99
along with the
additional information
00:14:54.02\00:14:55.42
that you had done in research,
00:14:55.46\00:14:56.79
along with the
prayer that was going on,
00:14:56.83\00:14:59.03
all that together
was then to execute.
00:14:59.06\00:15:02.56
What are we going to
do now after it was over?
00:15:02.60\00:15:05.30
So everything is done.
00:15:05.33\00:15:06.67
I'm back to my doctor's office.
00:15:06.70\00:15:08.04
They're doing blood tests on me.
00:15:08.07\00:15:09.54
They're checking to
see what's going on.
00:15:09.57\00:15:11.41
And he says, "You're all clear."
00:15:11.44\00:15:14.34
And I said, "Okay,
when you say all clear,
00:15:14.38\00:15:16.31
what do you mean?"
00:15:16.34\00:15:17.68
He said, "You're all clear."
00:15:17.71\00:15:19.05
And I said, "Well, do
you mean I'm cancer free?"
00:15:19.08\00:15:21.38
He said, "I
cannot say that to you
00:15:21.42\00:15:23.25
because honestly,
00:15:23.28\00:15:24.72
I had nothing
to do what you did.
00:15:24.75\00:15:26.09
You decide to go
natural, nutrition,
00:15:26.12\00:15:28.12
and all the things
you were involved in
00:15:28.16\00:15:29.92
and so I can't say that."
00:15:29.96\00:15:31.83
And so as of this taping
that we're doing right now,
00:15:31.86\00:15:35.26
all I can do is
give praise on to God
00:15:35.30\00:15:37.27
who is so awesome.
00:15:37.30\00:15:38.63
I believe that my story
is a story to help others.
00:15:38.67\00:15:41.24
Yes.
00:15:41.27\00:15:42.60
I believe that
the thousands of women
00:15:42.64\00:15:43.97
who have called me,
00:15:44.01\00:15:45.34
men and women with every
type of cancer out there,
00:15:45.37\00:15:47.48
my job is to be a mentor,
00:15:47.51\00:15:49.34
my job is to help
you in the journey.
00:15:49.38\00:15:51.45
My job is not to
tell you what to do
00:15:51.48\00:15:53.78
because that's God's job.
00:15:53.82\00:15:55.28
That's the Father's job.
00:15:55.32\00:15:56.65
But my job is to make sure
that you and God are connected
00:15:56.69\00:15:59.19
because if you
and God are connected,
00:15:59.22\00:16:00.56
He gives life and
He puts you to sleep.
00:16:00.59\00:16:02.62
Yes.
00:16:02.66\00:16:03.99
It's not the doctors,
it's not the medicine,
00:16:04.03\00:16:05.36
it's not anything
that you're thinking of.
00:16:05.39\00:16:07.40
It's all about
Him. It's all about Him.
00:16:07.43\00:16:10.03
And I'm grateful
because like I said,
00:16:10.07\00:16:11.63
as of this taping, I
am a 12-year survivor.
00:16:11.67\00:16:16.34
Yes. Twelve.
00:16:16.37\00:16:17.71
Praise God for that.
00:16:17.74\00:16:19.07
I'll tell you.
Well, He's awesome.
00:16:19.11\00:16:20.44
Yes. He is awesome.
00:16:20.48\00:16:21.81
I remember, I was
in a doctor's office
00:16:21.84\00:16:24.08
when he said, I really
can't say you're cancer-free,
00:16:24.11\00:16:27.95
but we did the things
that we felt God want us to do
00:16:27.98\00:16:30.75
for our treatment.
00:16:30.79\00:16:32.35
And at the 11th
month, it was cancer-free.
00:16:32.39\00:16:36.06
He didn't say it
at the 11th month
00:16:36.09\00:16:38.23
and we just praise God for that.
00:16:38.26\00:16:40.10
And I think God
entrusted us with this cancer.
00:16:40.13\00:16:42.36
I do.
00:16:42.40\00:16:43.73
And we made this public
00:16:43.77\00:16:45.10
on Three Angels
Broadcasting Network
00:16:45.13\00:16:46.47
at least three times.
00:16:46.50\00:16:47.84
And there's this open up
the floodgates for our ministry
00:16:47.87\00:16:49.40
as far as that's concerned.
00:16:49.44\00:16:50.77
All right, well,
our time is all up,
00:16:50.81\00:16:52.14
so I think for sharing,
00:16:52.17\00:16:54.24
I want people to understand
that there's a process.
00:16:54.28\00:16:56.75
We've been doing
a lot of these shows
00:16:56.78\00:16:58.21
and there is a
process, acknowledge
00:16:58.25\00:17:01.02
and they also must be motivated.
00:17:01.05\00:17:03.25
Have a plan, execute, maintain
and that's what we didn't
00:17:03.28\00:17:08.19
and want you to do
the same thing as well.
00:17:08.22\00:17:09.69
Okay, Honey. And my
story is on YouTube.
00:17:09.72\00:17:11.79
That's right, on YouTube,
00:17:11.83\00:17:13.16
just tap in your
name, Paula Eakins,
00:17:13.19\00:17:14.53
you see the
whole story on YouTube.
00:17:14.56\00:17:15.90
It's on YouTube,
00:17:15.93\00:17:17.27
and I'm always open
to talk to individuals.
00:17:17.30\00:17:18.63
I was thinking about a song
00:17:18.67\00:17:20.00
as we're getting
ready to go into kitchen
00:17:20.04\00:17:21.37
and it is called
"He's Sweet, I Know."
00:17:21.40\00:17:23.37
Oh, I love that song.
00:17:23.41\00:17:25.01
He's... I'm not gonna sing.
I know you thought I would...
00:17:25.04\00:17:26.64
No, I'm not singing the
song, we'll be going to kitchen.
00:17:26.68\00:17:28.78
Okay, "He's Sweet, I
Know" was the name of the song
00:17:28.81\00:17:30.85
and so I was thinking
what can we do to a sweet?
00:17:30.88\00:17:33.28
Well, guess what?
00:17:33.31\00:17:34.65
We are going to kitchen
00:17:34.68\00:17:36.02
and we're going
to make a dessert.
00:17:36.05\00:17:37.39
We are going to
make coconut cookies.
00:17:37.42\00:17:39.45
Get your paper and your
pencil, meet us in the kitchen.
00:17:39.49\00:17:42.22
