- 00:04:13.609 --> 00:04:15.945
- 14 years right now. so you're not in the record books for the fastest
- 00:04:16.012 --> 00:04:17.080

- So what i and diego both did that i would say is the universal answer
- 00:04:36.432 --> 00:04:39.102
- That i would say is the universal answer to bring healing is a prayer
- 00:04:39.168 --> 00:04:41.938

- 00:04:42.004 --> 00:04:43.272

- About that. but we tell heaven and we warn hell that
- 00:04:50.880 --> 00:04:52.014
- But we tell heaven and we warn hell that we're healed by his stripes.
- 00:04:52.081 --> 00:04:54.884
- And we warn hell that we're healed by his stripes. and we quote that out loud
- 00:04:54.951 --> 00:04:56.452
- We're healed by his stripes. and we quote that out loud three times a day.
- 00:04:56.519 --> 00:04:57.620
- And we quote that out loud three times a day. and that is
- 00:04:57.687 --> 00:04:58.654

- 00:09:40.469 --> 00:09:41.537
- The battle. so that's kind of the nutshell of what happened.

- People respond to what you're saying in your church and take things
- 00:09:46.142 --> 00:09:47.209
- You're saying in your church and take things like this seriously?
- 00:09:47.276 --> 00:09:48.344
- And take things like this seriously? diego: i think it is.
- 00:09:48.411 --> 00:09:49.478

- My mind because i think the greatest battle is not the physical battle,
- 00:09:56.285 --> 00:09:57.486
- The greatest battle is not the physical battle, it is not the cancer,
- 00:09:57.553 --> 00:09:58.554
- The physical battle, it is not the cancer, it is right here,
- 00:09:58.621 --> 00:10:00.022
- It is not the cancer, it is right here, what you heard.
- 00:10:00.089 --> 00:10:01.457
- It is right here, what you heard. the pictures and images
- 00:10:01.524 --> 00:10:02.658
- What you heard. the pictures and images that the devil showed you
- 00:10:02.725 --> 00:10:04.427
- The pictures and images that the devil showed you of you being in hospice,
- 00:10:04.493 --> 00:10:05.761
- That the devil showed you of you being in hospice, your family over you
- 00:10:05.828 --> 00:10:07.063
- Of you being in hospice, your family over you at the funeral, all those --
- 00:10:07.129 --> 00:10:10.132
- Your family over you at the funeral, all those -- so you've got to cancel
- 00:10:10.199 --> 00:10:12.201
- At the funeral, all those -- so you've got to cancel those thoughts, reprogram,
- 00:10:12.268 --> 00:10:13.736
- So you've got to cancel those thoughts, reprogram, get into the word of god,
- 00:10:13.803 --> 00:10:15.337
- Those thoughts, reprogram, get into the word of god, speak hope.
- 00:10:15.404 --> 00:10:16.338
- Get into the word of god, speak hope. and that's what he gave.
- 00:10:16.405 --> 00:10:17.406
- Speak hope. and that's what he gave. he gave me a regimen
- 00:10:17.473 --> 00:10:18.474
- And that's what he gave. he gave me a regimen to follow.
- 00:10:18.541 --> 00:10:19.608
- He gave me a regimen to follow. he gave me some ways
- 00:10:19.675 --> 00:10:21.844
- To follow. he gave me some ways of thinking,
- 00:10:21.911 --> 00:10:23.212
- He gave me some ways of thinking, but he gave me hope!
- 00:10:23.279 --> 00:10:25.247
- Of thinking, but he gave me hope! and that's what a lot
- 00:10:25.314 --> 00:10:26.282
- But he gave me hope! and that's what a lot of people just need,
- 00:10:26.348 --> 00:10:27.516
- And that's what a lot of people just need, they need hope.
- 00:10:27.583 --> 00:10:28.784
- Of people just need, they need hope. and sometimes you can be
- 00:10:28.851 --> 00:10:29.819
- They need hope. and sometimes you can be so wearied down in the battle
- 00:10:29.885 --> 00:10:31.153
- And sometimes you can be so wearied down in the battle you just start accepting it,
- 00:10:31.220 --> 00:10:33.489
- So wearied down in the battle you just start accepting it, you just start succumbing
- 00:10:33.556 --> 00:10:34.824
- You just start accepting it, you just start succumbing to it, you just start saying
- 00:10:34.890 --> 00:10:36.292
- You just start succumbing to it, you just start saying this is i guess
- 00:10:36.358 --> 00:10:37.727
- To it, you just start saying this is i guess going to be that way.
- 00:10:37.793 --> 00:10:40.329
- This is i guess going to be that way. to me, there are two common
- 00:10:40.396 --> 00:10:41.797
- Going to be that way. to me, there are two common traits of survivors,
- 00:10:41.864 --> 00:10:43.299
- To me, there are two common traits of survivors, the will to live,
- 00:10:43.365 --> 00:10:44.467
- Traits of survivors, the will to live, and the will to do
- 00:10:44.533 --> 00:10:45.501
- The will to live, and the will to do whatever it takes to live.
- 00:10:45.568 --> 00:10:46.802
- And the will to do whatever it takes to live. and that's kind of what
- 00:10:46.869 --> 00:10:47.937
- Whatever it takes to live. and that's kind of what he told me to do.
- 00:10:48.003 --> 00:10:48.971
- And that's kind of what he told me to do. he told me, "this isn't
- 00:10:49.038 --> 00:10:50.139
- He told me to do. he told me, "this isn't going to be easy.
- 00:10:50.206 --> 00:10:51.173
- He told me, "this isn't going to be easy. it's going to be the greatest
- 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:52.475
- Going to be easy. it's going to be the greatest fight of your life
- 00:10:52.541 --> 00:10:53.642
- It's going to be the greatest fight of your life but you've got to be
- 00:10:53.709 --> 00:10:54.643
- Fight of your life but you've got to be willing to do this, diego."
- 00:10:54.710 --> 00:10:56.045
- But you've got to be willing to do this, diego." i couldn't say that i was
- 00:10:56.112 --> 00:10:57.246
- Willing to do this, diego." i couldn't say that i was willing when i first talked
- 00:10:57.313 --> 00:10:58.347
- I couldn't say that i was willing when i first talked to him, it took me a year
- 00:10:58.414 --> 00:11:00.583
- Willing when i first talked to him, it took me a year to do that, until i said,
- 00:11:00.649 --> 00:11:01.917
- To him, it took me a year to do that, until i said, "i think i'm ready now."
- 00:11:01.984 --> 00:11:03.452
- To do that, until i said, "i think i'm ready now." and that's what we did.
- 00:11:03.519 --> 00:11:05.087
- "i think i'm ready now." and that's what we did. james: did you find yourself
- 00:11:05.154 --> 00:11:06.222
- And that's what we did. james: did you find yourself going through some of
- 00:11:06.288 --> 00:11:07.323
- James: did you find yourself going through some of the things he learned to do
- 00:11:07.389 --> 00:11:08.657
- Going through some of the things he learned to do in your journey?
- 00:11:08.724 --> 00:11:09.759
- The things he learned to do in your journey? jordan: oh, absolutely.
- 00:11:09.825 --> 00:11:10.826
- In your journey? jordan: oh, absolutely. yeah.

- 00:11:11.961 --> 00:11:13.229
- Yeah. and it was a little bit, i'm not going to say flying
- 00:11:13.295 --> 00:11:14.296
- And it was a little bit, i'm not going to say flying blind but i felt like i was
- 00:11:14.363 --> 00:11:15.531
- I'm not going to say flying blind but i felt like i was pioneering this a little bit.
- 00:11:15.598 --> 00:11:17.099
- Blind but i felt like i was pioneering this a little bit. i didn't understand it.
- 00:11:17.166 --> 00:11:18.134
- On overcoming cancer before
- 00:11:19.401 --> 00:11:20.669
- On overcoming cancer before i was diagnosed and
- 00:11:20.736 --> 00:11:22.071
- I was diagnosed and my situation was very unique
- 00:11:22.138 --> 00:11:24.273
- My situation was very unique in terms of how it manifested.
- 00:11:24.340 --> 00:11:26.542
- Despite growing up with
- 00:11:29.612 --> 00:11:31.046
- Despite growing up with more of a baptist upbringing
- 00:11:31.113 --> 00:11:32.548
- Despite growing up with more of a baptist upbringing where we used to pray, god,
- 00:11:32.615 --> 00:11:33.749
- More of a baptist upbringing where we used to pray, god, if it is your will to heal.
- 00:11:33.816 --> 00:11:35.885
- Where we used to pray, god, if it is your will to heal. when it came to my family
- 00:11:35.951 --> 00:11:38.020
- If it is your will to heal. when it came to my family and my future legacy,
- 00:11:38.087 --> 00:11:40.022
- When it came to my family and my future legacy, that wasn't enough.
- 00:11:40.089 --> 00:11:41.257
- And my future legacy, that wasn't enough. it was by your stripes
- 00:11:41.323 --> 00:11:42.591
- That wasn't enough. it was by your stripes i am healed.
- 00:11:42.658 --> 00:11:44.226
- It was by your stripes i am healed. i love the fire that
- 00:11:44.293 --> 00:11:45.861
- I am healed. i love the fire that diego has sharing in this.
- 00:11:45.928 --> 00:11:47.196
- I love the fire that diego has sharing in this. when i do write a book
- 00:11:47.263 --> 00:11:48.497
- Diego has sharing in this. when i do write a book about cancer again,
- 00:11:48.564 --> 00:11:49.665
- When i do write a book about cancer again, and i'm planning on it,
- 00:11:49.732 --> 00:11:50.766
- About cancer again, and i'm planning on it, whenever god opens the door,
- 00:11:50.833 --> 00:11:52.601
- And i'm planning on it, whenever god opens the door, it is going to be called
- 00:11:52.668 --> 00:11:53.669
- Whenever god opens the door, it is going to be called to hell with cancer
- 00:11:53.769 --> 00:11:54.904
- It is going to be called to hell with cancer because you can't sit back
- 00:11:54.970 --> 00:11:57.873
- To hell with cancer because you can't sit back and allow somebody no matter
- 00:11:57.940 --> 00:11:59.074
- Because you can't sit back and allow somebody no matter how many credentials,
- 00:11:59.141 --> 00:12:00.676
- And allow somebody no matter how many credentials, degrees, or what kind of
- 00:12:00.743 --> 00:12:02.244
- How many credentials, degrees, or what kind of a lab coat they're wearing
- 00:12:02.311 --> 00:12:04.313
- Degrees, or what kind of a lab coat they're wearing tell you how long
- 00:12:04.380 --> 00:12:05.381
- A lab coat they're wearing tell you how long you're going to live,
- 00:12:05.447 --> 00:12:06.448
- Tell you how long you're going to live, what your life
- 00:12:06.515 --> 00:12:07.550
- You're going to live, what your life is going to be about.
- 00:12:07.616 --> 00:12:08.751
- What your life is going to be about. and you absolutely have

- 00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:17.660
- So important. i think both of us have learned over the years,
- 00:12:17.726 --> 00:12:18.794
- I think both of us have learned over the years, when we meet people that have
- 00:12:18.861 --> 00:12:19.895
- Learned over the years, when we meet people that have been diagnosed not just
- 00:12:19.962 --> 00:12:21.096
- When we meet people that have been diagnosed not just with cancer, maybe it is
- 00:12:21.163 --> 00:12:22.198
- Been diagnosed not just with cancer, maybe it is a.l.s. or multiple sclerosis
- 00:12:22.264 --> 00:12:24.233
- With cancer, maybe it is a.l.s. or multiple sclerosis or a so-called incurable

- Or a so-called incurable illness, i can usually tell within 20 minutes what
- 00:12:28.003 --> 00:12:29.605
- Illness, i can usually tell within 20 minutes what the outcome is going to be
- 00:12:29.672 --> 00:12:30.806
- Within 20 minutes what the outcome is going to be because you are
- 00:12:30.873 --> 00:12:32.374
- The outcome is going to be because you are what you believe.
- 00:12:32.441 --> 00:12:33.609
- Because you are what you believe. as a man thinks in his heart
- 00:12:33.676 --> 00:12:34.710
- What you believe. as a man thinks in his heart so is he.
- 00:12:34.777 --> 00:12:35.945
- As a man thinks in his heart so is he. and we're told to listen
- 00:12:36.011 --> 00:12:37.913
- So is he. and we're told to listen to our doctors, we're told
- 00:12:37.980 --> 00:12:39.014
- And we're told to listen to our doctors, we're told to look up websites that

- To our doctors, we're told to look up websites that tell us what percentage chance
- 00:12:40.316 --> 00:12:42.318
- To look up websites that tell us what percentage chance we have to live,
- 00:12:42.384 --> 00:12:43.752
- Tell us what percentage chance we have to live, and we immediately
- 00:12:43.819 --> 00:12:44.854
- We have to live, and we immediately believe that as truth.
- 00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:46.021
- And we immediately believe that as truth. so what both diego and i chose

- 00:12:56.532 --> 00:12:57.633
- Blessing or cursing. we chose life. but it wasn't just
- 00:12:57.700 --> 00:12:58.767
- We chose life. but it wasn't just a verbalization,

- So much these days about the israelites:
- 00:20:41.163 --> 00:20:42.331
- About the israelites: when they were exiled,
- 00:20:42.397 --> 00:20:43.565
- When they were exiled, why they were exiled.
- 00:20:43.632 --> 00:20:44.700
- Why they were exiled. because it feels in some ways
- 00:20:44.766 --> 00:20:45.901

- So i went back and started to read in the old testament,
- 00:20:56.712 --> 00:20:57.679
- And started to read in the old testament, what caused them to drift?
- 00:20:57.746 --> 00:20:58.747
- In the old testament, what caused them to drift? one of the first things,

- 00:23:28.163 --> 00:23:29.197
- In the new testament, what stopped him in his tracks over and over again
- 00:23:29.264 --> 00:23:30.265
- What stopped him in his tracks over and over again was unbelief and faith.
- 00:23:30.332 --> 00:23:31.433
- Over and over again was unbelief and faith. those are the two things
- 00:23:31.500 --> 00:23:32.434

- 00:23:34.836 --> 00:23:35.971

- 00:23:36.037 --> 00:23:37.105
- He marveled at their faith. so, when the disciples came running back and said,
- 00:23:37.172 --> 00:23:38.173
- So, when the disciples came running back and said, "lord! lord!
- 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:39.307
- Came running back and said, "lord! lord! even the demons obey us!"
- 00:23:39.374 --> 00:23:40.475

- 00:23:44.346 --> 00:23:45.680
- And it matters." but he didn't.
- 00:23:45.747 --> 00:23:46.982
- But he didn't. he said, "don't marvel

- 00:23:49.284 --> 00:23:50.252
- In luke 10:19 he said, "i already told you
- 00:23:50.318 --> 00:23:51.419
- I've given you authority."
- 00:23:52.587 --> 00:23:53.555
- I've given you authority." he said, "marvel
- 00:23:53.622 --> 00:23:54.756
- I've given you authority." he said, "marvel that your name is written
- 00:23:54.823 --> 00:23:55.891
- He said, "marvel that your name is written in the book of life."
- 00:23:55.957 --> 00:23:56.992
- That your name is written in the book of life." that's the most
- 00:23:57.058 --> 00:23:58.159
- In the book of life." that's the most expensive miracle of all,
- 00:23:58.226 --> 00:23:59.995

- 00:25:11.533 --> 00:25:12.534
- Of christ, i realized i was living my life bracing for impact,
- 00:25:12.601 --> 00:25:14.235
- I was living my life bracing for impact, waiting for the next shoe
- 00:25:14.302 --> 00:25:15.503
- Bracing for impact, waiting for the next shoe to drop.
- 00:25:15.570 --> 00:25:16.805
- Waiting for the next shoe to drop. i didn't think
- 00:25:16.871 --> 00:25:18.039
- To drop. i didn't think that was a mistrust of god.
- 00:25:18.106 --> 00:25:19.207
- I didn't think that was a mistrust of god. i actually thought
- 00:25:19.274 --> 00:25:20.275
- That was a mistrust of god. i actually thought that was the natural result
- 00:25:20.342 --> 00:25:21.543
- I actually thought that was the natural result of an unpredictable disease.
- 00:25:21.610 --> 00:25:22.777
- That was the natural result of an unpredictable disease. but then the lord
- 00:25:22.844 --> 00:25:24.012
- Of an unpredictable disease. but then the lord impressed upon my heart
- 00:25:24.079 --> 00:25:25.180
- But then the lord impressed upon my heart that it really indeed
- 00:25:25.246 --> 00:25:26.448
- Impressed upon my heart that it really indeed was a mistrust of god.
- 00:25:26.514 --> 00:25:27.716
- That it really indeed was a mistrust of god. i wasn't imprinting
- 00:25:27.782 --> 00:25:28.817
- Was a mistrust of god. i wasn't imprinting his loving kindness
- 00:25:28.883 --> 00:25:29.918
- I wasn't imprinting his loving kindness on my heart.
- 00:25:29.985 --> 00:25:31.086
- His loving kindness on my heart. i was imprinting trauma
- 00:25:31.152 --> 00:25:32.387
- On my heart. i was imprinting trauma and hardship
- 00:25:32.454 --> 00:25:33.622
- I was imprinting trauma and hardship and a certain kind of belief
- 00:25:33.688 --> 00:25:34.889
- And hardship and a certain kind of belief that there was no limit
- 00:25:34.956 --> 00:25:36.057
- And a certain kind of belief that there was no limit to what god would allow
- 00:25:36.124 --> 00:25:37.292
- That there was no limit to what god would allow to happen in my life.
- 00:25:37.359 --> 00:25:38.493
- To what god would allow to happen in my life. and once i realized
- 00:25:38.560 --> 00:25:39.928
- To happen in my life. and once i realized bracing for impact
- 00:25:39.995 --> 00:25:41.162
- And once i realized bracing for impact didn't belong in my posture,
- 00:25:41.229 --> 00:25:42.564
- Bracing for impact didn't belong in my posture, in fact, anticipating
- 00:25:42.631 --> 00:25:44.265
- Didn't belong in my posture, in fact, anticipating god's goodness did.
- 00:25:44.332 --> 00:25:46.001
- In fact, anticipating god's goodness did. when i started to look
- 00:25:46.067 --> 00:25:47.369
- God's goodness did. when i started to look for his goodness, i found it.
- 00:25:47.435 --> 00:25:48.803
- When i started to look for his goodness, i found it. because when you're living
- 00:25:48.870 --> 00:25:50.171
- For his goodness, i found it. because when you're living perpetually bracing
- 00:25:50.238 --> 00:25:51.539
- Because when you're living perpetually bracing for impact,
- 00:25:51.606 --> 00:25:52.874
- Perpetually bracing for impact, you can't at once anticipate
- 00:25:52.941 --> 00:25:54.042
- For impact, you can't at once anticipate the goodness of god,
- 00:25:54.109 --> 00:25:55.410
- You can't at once anticipate the goodness of god, or appreciate
- 00:25:55.477 --> 00:25:56.678
- The goodness of god, or appreciate the goodness of god.
- 00:25:56.745 --> 00:25:57.879
- Or appreciate the goodness of god. so, what about it?
- 00:25:57.946 --> 00:25:59.180
