Dark Dancer

Tonight I received a visitor.
He came as a dark dancer!
Knocking on my door
He spoke the word CANCER!
I told him he is a stranger
In this place I won't receive him
Leave this instant; you're not wanted
And I refuse to believe him!
Oh it's not you I've come to see
I have chosen to reside within your peer.
I am letting you know now
So you'll prepare for a dark year!
Once again, I strongly rebuked him
and commanded his cells to dry!
Shrivel up and go away
By Jesus' blood you'll surely die!
I speak strength and life and health!
Which can't be bought by greatest wealth!
Your fear can't come within my walls
For I hear healing when it calls!

AMEN!

Dark Dancer's Echo on the Plains
[in remission]
 
The Dark Dancer could not live
within its chosen walls
But he seemed to leave an echo
on the plains and it calls ~
Like shadows caused by clouds
casting movement on the ground ~
It says, "I will come back
and I won't make a sound!" 
Well, I have a greater message ~
One that says you mustn't fear it. 
It is filled with faith and hope
and comes from the Holy Spirit!
As long as you can recognize
where the dancer’s coming from,
you'll have power to defeat it
and to it's voice you won't succumb!
I give you wisdom to reach higher! 
Don't let embers start a fire!
Continue claiming His sovereign healing.
Jesus knows all that you're feeling! 
When that dancer's echo is on the plains,
gird up your loins, pull in the reigns!
Don't let it run away with you.
Laugh at it's face!
It can't catch you! 
As new hope springs within your walls,
You'll hear the echo as it falls!
Around you is His mighty shield,
No fiery darts can penetrate!
At recognition, the dancer yields! 
And by your faith, you rule your fate!
 AMEN!

I wrote the first part of this poem the night that my brother called me and told me that he had been told he may have 6 months to live due to cancer.  I prayed with him over the phone and cried as I put pen to paper.  
He later  told me that the plains (back home) were calling him.  I felt he thought he may not live long.  However, he went into remission when I wrote the second part and he is strong and still alive today!  I give God the glory for honoring FAITH!
