Our Guest Shirley Smith

Sid: I have on the telephone Shirley Smith and I’m speaking to her at her home at North Little Rock, Arkansas.  In June of 1995 she got a death sentence from the doctor she was diagnosed with 3^rd stage ovarian cancer, 6 months to live. Nothing medical science could do.  She began the battle for her life God told her she had to do 3 things, she had to not be in unbelief, she had to stand in faith for her healing. The second thing was she had to rebuild her body and her immune system with proper nutrition. The third she had to reconcile with her son-in-law if she wanted to live. And then she received a mandate to daily come before the Lord and participate in communion the Lord’s Supper. And you began to do this and God showed you Shirley that there were areas in your life you had not released to God. You had not allowed Him to even come in and heal you it was kind of like a spiritual pride and when He began to point these things out to you He directed you towards communion and you found a new power in communion that you’d never seen before tell me about it.

Shirley: Yes okay.  Well one day while the Lord was speaking to me about things in those rooms and I explained about yesterday and I’d never allowed Him to go into. He began to tell me about some people in my life and mainly it was a mother-in-law and I had explained rejection there from my in-laws and I said “Lord I’ve already forgiven many of these things you’re telling me I’ve already forgiven her I’ve already talked to her. I’ve already told her that I was sorry for this and for my wrong response. And the Lord replied to me and said “Yes you have forgiven these but you have never released them.” And then I’m thinking about what He said “Release them.” And the Lord spoke again He said “Do you still feel pain when you think of this situation of this person of the comment that was made to you?” And I said “Yes I do.” He said “Then you have not released it.”  And I said “Lord I don’t know how to release it if I knew how I would how can I do that how can I release them?” And the Lord and at this moment I’m getting frustrated because I wasn’t get a quick answer and I said “How can I, how can I get a quick release how can I do that?” And I had the communion cup kind of up in the air when I was asking this question and the Lord just profoundly and simply said to me You can release them through the power of the communion cup in your hand.  I suddenly had a revelation of a power of the blood of Jesus and the communion.  I was so thrilled I quickly said “Wonderful God that will be so easy to do I want to do this.” Okay listen with the revelation of what you just said to me that through the power of the communion cup I can release everything to You. I release everything through the faith in your blood represented in this communion cup.”  And I was shocked because the Lord said to me “No, you have to tell me exactly and specifically what you released and explain it to Me.” And you know I was back at square 1 and so through that point on I experience very deep dealings again and painful memories and I just began to just sob out those things but I released and as these hurts would come up and painful memories would come up I would just take the communion cup and I’d say “Father through the power of Your shed blood” and you know the thorns that was put into His head that was the healings of our memories and I said “Lord the chastisement of my peace my peace of mind was upon you and through the power of this cup I release every hurt, every pain” and I began to name the person, I would name what they said to me the rejecting words they said to me.” And when I did that chains of the past began to break off of me.

Sid: You’d think that after all of these years after recognizing and understanding the word to forgive what you did that you wouldn’t be dealing with all of these roots but you’re telling me they really were there.

Shirley: The roots were there and many people and things like to mention people in ministry too because they just forgive and they go on with their hurts because they don’t know what else to do or because they were like me too much pride to even admit they even have a problem.

Sid: Tell me about one of the things God said you had to do and that has to do with forgiving your son-in-law. He said if you wanted to live you had to do this.

Shirley: Right that’s what I did I just began to name the things he had said the things that he had done the last 20 years the ongoing thing with the whole family and as I named those released those those chains broke.  And you know finally at the end of the 5 months it was 5 months total I was at sister Gwen’s I had come to my metamorphosis and my rooms were cleaned the chains were broken and I was released to return back to my home. And when I came back to my home the first thing that I did I came back to my doctor for my blood test and my doctor was in shock and he went “What happened to you?” And I said “You wouldn’t believe it if I told you.” And this is my gynecologist not my surgeon not the oncologist I’ve not seen him since.  But he said “Well tell me!” and I said “Okay I’ll tell you so I told him everything I just told you and he was so overwhelmed he went “I believe Shirley I believe and I have heard of this but I never knew anybody that it had ever happened to and you are my first miracle patient.”

Sid: Let me read to you Mishpochah because I have in my hand and I might add this is in her booklet that has her entire testimony of how she was healed. A letter from her Gynecologist Dr. Dale Fuller it’s dated June 15, 2000 and this is what he said this is on his stationary:

Shirley is a gynecologic patient of mine and has been for some time and she first presented to my office as a new patient in 1991.  In June of ’95 Shirley developed ovarian cancer of which surgery was performed. Stage 3 cancer was found as well as cancer that had spread to the large and small intestines as well as other structures. Shirley declined to receive chemotherapy following the surgery as I advised her. Shirley decided to rely on her faith for healing of this cancer. As Shirley’s OBGYN I have kept a close watch over her by ordering regular annual blood tests and physical examinations. Each test has proven the miraculous healing that has existed in her for the past 5 years.  There is no medical doubt that she should have died years ago with the spread of cells and conditions left in her body. In June 2000 she underwent a series of blood work and tests including an MRI to rule out any evidence of reoccurrence of cancer. All tests were negative revealing Shirley to be clean and clear of any evidence of cancer in her body. To this day I am grateful to still call her my miracle lady.

I mean talk about documentation Shirley.

Shirley: Yes.

Sid: But let me ask you this question, when God took you through these hurts were they very painful?

Shirley: Extremely, extremely the roots.

Sid: And as you prayed over communion and released each one specifically did you feel them leave?

Shirley: Yes I did, yes I did it was like a chain breaking. You know I didn’t even know I head the chain there. I mean I knew I had bondages yes I never dreamed I had that much bondage and that much you know it was really taking out of the peace of mind. We’re not looking at oppressed things and suppressed things and we can bring…and I learned this in psychiatric nursing but it’s easier to analyze somebody else than to analyze your own self we can push them into our subconscious mind and that’s what I had done to deal with that.

Sid: But let me ask you just a bit about your son-in-law there was a point where you actually wrote out a blessing for him explain that.

Shirley: Yes I did well let me just say first that we have made peace with each other we now have expressed our love, our respect and our acceptance for one another. And later after this reconciliation the Lord instructed me to speak a blessing over their marriage. Well I had never done anything like this before and I had really felt at loss of how to do it and I said “Lord well I’ve blessed them for years.” He said “Yes but they have never heard you do it they have never heard you say those words.” And so I said “Okay.” I began to try to write up you know a blessing and it didn’t sound like anything. I read scriptures I read books on blessing, nothing fit the situation so I was frustrated and so I said “Lord now listen I want to be obedient and I want to do what You told me to do but if You don’t help me I can’t do it I don’t know how to do this so please help me.” And this is another… I mean God orchestrated it was a supernatural thing again my whole story is supernatural this is one of the best parts. Suddenly when I told the Lord I can’t do it You’re going to have to do it for me or help me my anointing or an unction fell on me that just grab a piece of paper and pencil and I began to write.” This did not come from my mind, I repeat this did not come from my mind this came out of my spirit. And I was shocked at what I was writing and this is what happened. My pen just flew across the paper and I was invoking many beautiful blessings and I was amazed while I watched this and I began to recognize so much of so much of what I was writing there was scripture.  And I thought “Oh what an awesome blessing because this clearly expresses my heart. So when I finished this beautiful thing I shared it with my husband. The Lord said to me “I want you to present that to them.” Well when I got ready to present this to my daughter and son-in-law the Lord orchestrated this so beautifully I didn’t know how He’d worked with him. And so when I was telling him how it happened he said to me now what exactly, when exactly did you receive this? And I told him and when I told him this it was at 6:00 Sunday afternoon my son-in-laws face lite up and he said “Oh I can’t believe this” because at that same hour the pastor had said “If there’s anyone here who needs to release themselves from someone they tried to forgive but they just can’t get free I want you to come to the front and let me pray for you.” He said “At 6:00 you’re getting this blessing over us he said I went to the front and for the first time I got a complete freedom.”
