00:37 [dreamy music playing] 00:42 >> Hello and welcome to It Is 00:43 Written Canada. 00:44 Thank you for joining us. 00:46 Jennifer Barter started her 00:48 struggle with lung problems as a 00:50 teenager. 00:50 Everything seemed to affect her 00:52 breathing, the humidity, strong 00:54 smells, cold air, how much she 00:57 ate, and even the inhalation 01:00 medications that were supposed 01:02 to make her feel better. 01:04 >> Jennifer knew that she needed 01:06 to learn to trust God 01:08 completely. 01:09 She started spending time 01:11 reading the Bible and getting to 01:12 know God better through 01:14 communicating with Him in 01:15 prayer. 01:17 Jennifer knew that God was going 01:18 to heal her, but she was not 01:20 sure how He was going to do it. 01:23 >> Today on It Is Written Canada 01:25 you will see how God not only 01:27 healed Jennifer physically, but 01:29 spiritually as well by 01:31 strengthening her faith and 01:32 fulfilling each promise He gave 01:36 to her personally. 01:38 Jennifer, welcome to It Is 01:39 Written Canada. 01:41 >> Oh, thanks so much. 01:42 It's been a joy meeting you 01:43 and it's a real privilege 01:44 to be here. 01:46 >> So Jennifer, can you tell us 01:48 when you started having lung 01:51 problems? 01:53 >> When I was about 13 I started 01:55 having some odd symptoms. 01:58 A little bit of shortness of 02:00 breath and I would wake up in 02:01 the morning, my eyes would be 02:03 just puffy for no explainable 02:05 reason. 02:07 And initially, we thought, oh, 02:08 it's allergies or something and 02:10 I got allergy shots. 02:13 And then my mother ended up 02:15 going away for about a month 02:17 because her father was ill in 02:18 New Zealand, and when she came 02:20 back, because she had been away, 02:23 she could see a great change 02:24 in me. 02:25 I had lost weight, I was only 02:27 13, I should have been, you 02:28 know, healthy, growing... 02:30 And so that sort of started the 02:33 investigation into what was 02:35 going on. 02:36 I had a lung abscess so was 02:39 hospitalized for that and then 02:43 ended up going to SickKids 02:46 right at the beginning of high 02:47 school, grade nine. 02:49 And that was a challenging year 02:51 because new school and I was in 02:56 the hospital for two weeks at 02:57 SickKids twice and spent my 03:00 14th birthday there. 03:03 And so that was kinda tough. 03:05 They didn't know what was going 03:06 on, they couldn't diagnose what 03:08 was going on, they did tons of 03:10 tests, they put me on prednisone 03:13 to stop the inflammation 'cause 03:15 clearly something was going on 03:16 in my lungs. 03:18 It was probably an autoimmune 03:21 response that was triggered 03:22 somehow, we don't know how, 03:24 where my body was attacking 03:26 my lungs. 03:28 And then when I was about 19... 03:32 ...I had a respirologist at this 03:34 point, and I kind of wanted to 03:37 know the prognosis of how things 03:40 were gonna go, and up til this 03:43 point, I knew things were 03:45 serious because everyone seemed 03:48 concerned which caused a lot of 03:49 fear and, you know, anxiety 03:51 for me. 03:52 I didn't know what life was 03:54 gonna be like, but I knew it 03:56 wasn't-- it was... 03:58 The future didn't look that 04:00 great and the respirologist 04:03 said, "Well, it is possible that 04:05 you could have children, you may 04:07 have difficulty. 04:10 Hopefully you could be here til 04:13 you reach the age of 18, but... 04:18 ...you won't live to see your 04:20 grandchildren." 04:21 And he said, "There'll be 04:23 probably 20 years, you know, ten 04:25 good years and ten bad years." 04:27 And I'm like, "Well, what do you 04:29 mean by ten bad years?" 04:30 "Well, you know, in a wheel 04:31 chair kind of thing." 04:34 So that was kind of a lot to 04:35 handle at that age when you're 04:38 just looking forward to life and 04:40 so on. 04:43 And it kind of overshadowed my 04:46 life from then on for a long 04:48 time because you just don't know 04:51 when you're gonna die, 04:53 basically. 04:55 >> So you were 19 years old when 04:56 that happened and so you were 04:58 going through this ongoing 05:01 trouble with breathing for you. 05:03 How did you do it? 05:04 How did you get through that 05:05 journey? 05:06 >> Initially, you know, as a 05:08 young person, you don't wanna be 05:09 different, you just kind of deal 05:12 with what you have to deal with 05:14 and you pretend everything's 05:16 fine. 05:17 And that's sort of how I did 05:19 high school. 05:21 Although there was four flights 05:23 in my high school, of stairs. 05:25 It was a big, very old building, 05:26 so the ceilings were high. 05:28 And I remember thinking, "How am 05:30 I gonna go from gym in the 05:31 basement," which I couldn't do. 05:33 I didn't do gym, I just did the 05:37 health part 'cause I couldn't 05:39 run or, you know. 05:41 And then to go upstairs to art 05:43 class on the third floor was 05:44 like, it was really tough. 05:46 And-- but my mom would sometimes 05:49 or someone else would drive me 05:50 to school. 05:51 Sometimes I would walk. 05:55 But gradually things kind of 05:57 stabilized for a while which 05:58 was good. 06:00 So I was able to live life and 06:03 do okay. 06:04 I learned to be very careful and 06:07 figure out what I could and 06:08 couldn't do. 06:09 And I would just avoid things 06:12 that-- I knew I could never run 06:15 and, you know, do sports, but a 06:19 lot of people didn't actually 06:20 know that I was sick until 06:21 later on. 06:23 And then I was starting to get 06:24 more and more infections and 06:27 eventually in 2009, I got 06:32 really sick. 06:33 By this time, though, I had 06:34 actually, I had gotten married, 06:36 I had-- we had two children. 06:39 So God really blessed, 06:41 considering I was taking some 06:44 pretty powerful drugs. 06:46 I was-- they put me on 06:47 prednisone when I was 14, which 06:49 is a corticosteroid, to reduce 06:53 inflammation because that's the 06:54 inflammatory process was what 06:56 was causing all the damage in my 06:58 lungs, I was getting a lot of 06:59 scarring which caused me to not 07:03 be able to breathe. 07:04 So at this point I could-- my 07:07 body was learning to adapt. 07:09 But by the time it was 2009, 07:13 antibiotics a lot of the times 07:15 were not, the oral ones weren't 07:18 working, I had to have IV 07:19 antibiotics. 07:22 And unless you have to be, 07:25 unless you're hospitalized, you 07:27 have to have, like, a pack 07:28 around your waist, has the 07:30 little bag of the antibiotic and 07:32 you have a special line in your 07:34 arm and they just connect you up 07:36 and the pump automatically does 07:37 it so you can kind of live life. 07:40 But being on antibiotics, I 07:41 mean, if you've ever been on 07:42 them, it can make you really 07:44 tired and there's side effects 07:48 and so on. 07:48 So that was challenging. 07:50 And the puffers that I was on, 07:52 they were not always working as 07:55 much as they should or are 07:58 supposed to. 07:59 And I was also finding that the 08:02 medications were actually 08:05 causing more side effects. 08:06 I'm not sure why that is, but 08:08 it's probably 'cause my lungs 08:09 weren't, again, they weren't 08:12 functioning well. 08:13 So my lungs were at this point, 08:15 were about 25% of capacity and I 08:19 was on oxygen for 24/7 and also 08:23 they were suggesting that I get 08:25 a lung transplant. 08:27 >> So, Jennifer, what kind of 08:29 support did you have during this 08:32 very difficult time? 08:35 >> Well, of course I had my 08:36 family and I had some amazing 08:39 friends. 08:41 Metha was one of them and she 08:45 and I were spending a lot of 08:47 time at this point getting into 08:50 God's Word and really, you know, 08:52 praying together and 08:54 seeking God. 08:55 And she came over one day and 08:58 said to me, "You know, you 09:00 should ask if God is gonna let 09:02 you live or die." 09:03 And I was a little shocked and 09:05 taken back, I'll tell you. 09:07 And she said she had been 09:08 praying about it and, you know, 09:11 and how to, you know, support me 09:14 and talk to me. 09:15 And she said, "You know, 09:18 you're dying." 09:20 And of course I'm like, "No, I'm 09:23 not dying." 09:24 I think I was a bit in... 09:28 [MIKE] Denial? 09:29 >> Denial, exactly. 09:30 And so I kinda took that and 09:32 then she said, "Well, you know, 09:34 we could pray," and I agreed. 09:36 So we prayed together and I had 09:38 the sense that God wasn't gonna 09:40 let me die, but-- 'cause I'd 09:42 always sort of thought that. 09:45 But we did pray that God would 09:47 confirm it. 09:49 So the next day, I was on my own 09:52 and I prayed again... 09:54 ...and... 09:57 ...as I was praying, I heard 10:00 very distinctly, a distinct 10:02 voice, and it said to me, 10:07 "Do you believe I can make 10:08 you whole?" 10:09 And without even thinking, I 10:10 said, "Yes, Lord, I believe! 10:12 Help Thou mine unbelief!" 10:14 And I didn't think about what I 10:15 was saying, but it was a 10:17 scripture, I had read it before, 10:18 it was Mark 9, the story of when 10:21 a father comes with his child, 10:24 he wants his child to be healed, 10:25 comes to Jesus and Jesus says... 10:33 And the father's crying and he 10:35 says, "I believe, Lord, help 10:38 thou mine unbelief!" 10:40 And after I said that, I heard, 10:43 "Then act on it." 10:45 And I was just amazed and I sort 10:50 of, I didn't really think too 10:51 much about what "then act on it" 10:53 means, but I did discover later 10:55 what it means and God showed me 10:57 in the Bible. 10:58 In Romans 4:17, part B of that 11:01 verse, it says, "God gives life 11:03 to the dead and refers to things 11:05 not yet in existence as though 11:07 they already were." 11:08 So as far as God was concerned, 11:11 I had been praying for healing, 11:12 it was a done deal and I was 11:14 claiming His promises. 11:16 I had already seen a promise in 11:18 Psalms 30 and it said, "I cried 11:21 unto the Lord and Thou hast 11:22 healed me." 11:23 "I have healed you," which is in 11:25 the present tense. 11:28 So this verse explains that God, 11:30 you know, He doesn't live, you 11:32 know, in the present, the past, 11:33 and all that, He lives in that 11:35 simultaneously. 11:37 It's a different realm for God. 11:40 And... 11:42 ...and I needed to believe that 11:43 I was healed even though it 11:44 wasn't manifested yet. 11:46 And so then I was telling Metha 11:48 about that, she came over and I 11:50 was telling her about it and I 11:52 was so excited, we were standing 11:53 in the kitchen and there on the 11:54 counter, she picked up my Bible, 11:56 she opened to Mark 9 and showed 11:58 me, you know, the verse 12:00 in Mark 9:23. 12:02 And then on my counter, there 12:03 was two little book marks that I 12:05 wasn't even aware were there, 12:06 they were paper book marks and 12:08 one of them had Mark 9:23 on it 12:11 and the other one had Jeremiah 12:14 29:11, which says... 12:26 And it was like God had 12:29 confirmed that He wanted me to 12:31 live, He planned for me to live, 12:33 He had something for me. 12:36 More than once, it was like 12:37 three times. 12:38 So that was extremely 12:40 encouraging and I needed every 12:42 speck of that encouragement 12:43 because when you can't breathe, 12:47 that's all you can think about. 12:49 And I would sit, you know, I-- 12:52 it got to the point where I just 12:54 could just sit and not do a lot 12:58 of things for myself. 13:00 But we had a tremendous amount 13:01 of support of individuals coming 13:04 and helping and we had a PSW 13:07 come several times a week 'cause 13:10 my husband was working full time 13:12 and eventually, I guess 13:15 September 11th, 2013, I believe, 13:20 he just had to quit his job to 13:23 stay home and help me because I 13:24 was on oxygen all the time 13:27 just, you know, to survive. 13:28 It was a very, very difficult 13:30 time. 13:31 >> So, Jennifer, can you tell us 13:35 about one specific incident that 13:39 God really spoke to you on your 13:42 way to prayer meeting. 13:43 >> Yes, I was on the way to 13:45 prayer meeting one evening, this 13:46 was in early May and I was just 13:50 driving along and I was just 13:52 talking to God and I looked over 13:56 and I saw this large maple tree, 13:59 huge maple tree, and it was 14:00 silhouetted with sort of the sun 14:02 behind so it looked-- and it had 14:04 no leaves so it looked very 14:05 stark and very dark. 14:07 And I just kind of said to 14:08 myself, "That tree looks, like, 14:10 dead like my lungs." 14:13 And I just heard in my spirit, 14:16 "Yes, but in the spring it's 14:17 gonna be full of life and 14:19 covered with leaves." 14:21 And I'm-- I was like, "Yes! 14:22 That's true!" and I'm like, 14:24 "Oh, wow! 14:25 This is God clearly talking to 14:28 me and encouraging me." 14:29 And I was thinking, "Well, maybe 14:31 He's gonna heal me in the 14:33 spring, this spring." 14:34 So as it turned out, my tree was 14:37 a very late bloomer and I kept 14:39 checking it as I'm driving by 14:41 and the tree, the leaves did 14:43 come out, but unfortunately my 14:46 health continued to decline. 14:48 >> So the image of a tree, that 14:52 gave you hope for the future, 14:55 but you were struggling to 14:56 breathe through all of this 14:58 and a lung transplant became 15:01 very real. 15:04 Tell us about that. 15:05 >> Yes, they eventually decided 15:07 that I should get assessed, 15:09 which I did. 15:10 That was a whole week long 15:11 series of tests, we had to go to 15:12 Toronto and stay there. 15:14 And after that we had to wait 15:19 for them to approve it and after 15:22 that, they said we had to, I had 15:25 to go and do exercise three days 15:27 a week in Toronto for the first 15:28 month and then until transplant 15:31 I had to have exercises once a 15:34 week in Toronto and two days a 15:37 week where I was. 15:39 So that meant we had to drive 15:40 all the way down there. 15:42 And that was just hair-raising 15:44 at times. 15:45 We were exhausted, my husband 15:46 was exhausted, he was still 15:48 working so those days he had to 15:50 take time off to take me down 15:52 there and you have to have a 15:54 support person to be on the list 15:56 anyway. 15:59 And that's about an hour and a 16:00 half to do that, the exercises. 16:05 And we also had to have 16:07 appointments with the doctors in 16:09 between and then we had to drive 16:12 home in rush hour and I was on 16:14 oxygen, we had to take tanks of 16:16 oxygen. 16:18 There were no rest stops that 16:19 could help or could go and help 16:22 on the way. 16:23 So it was, it was a really 16:26 tough, tough time. 16:28 I found that when I was going 16:30 through that really, really 16:31 difficult time, what really 16:33 helped was not only my friends' 16:36 prayers and everyone's prayers, 16:38 my family, but claiming God's 16:41 promises. 16:42 And, for instance... 16:51 And there's so many others. 16:53 And that helped me get through. 16:55 Also, I was praying one day with 16:58 my friend, Tamara, and we were 17:01 going to pray about how God was 17:04 gonna heal me. 17:07 My other friend, Andre, had said 17:09 that there's three ways that God 17:11 can heal, He can heal us 17:12 miraculously, He can heal me 17:16 with a transplant, or He can 17:19 allow me to die and, you know, 17:21 I'll be healed when I-- at the 17:23 resurrection. 17:25 And I already knew that He 17:26 wanted me to live so it was 17:29 gonna be either miraculous or a 17:31 transplant and I wasn't keen on 17:33 transplant because of all the 17:34 rejection drugs and so on which 17:37 can cause a lot of side effects 17:40 and other issues. 17:42 So-- but I was willing for 17:46 whatever God's will was and as 17:48 we were praying, I had a vision 17:51 and I saw my tree standing on a 17:54 hill and then I saw... 17:58 ...I saw it lift, like I saw the 17:59 trunk lifting out of the ground 18:01 and the roots were hanging down 18:04 and it shifted and there it was, 18:07 on a hill with blue sky behind 18:10 and then clouds and rain and 18:13 then the clouds went away and 18:14 bright sunshine. 18:16 And so I was thinking about it 18:18 and I thought, "Okay, that's 18:19 clear, God desires for me to 18:22 have a transplant, that's how 18:23 it's gonna go." 18:24 And at that point I accepted 18:28 that that was God's will for me 18:31 and-- but it was very 18:33 encouraging to know that He was 18:35 still with me and He was using 18:37 the tree. 18:39 >> So now you get the 18:41 transplant, you have a new set 18:43 of lungs. 18:44 What was that like for you? 18:47 >> Yeah, okay, so, well, it was 18:48 a 10-hour surgery and I came out 18:51 with five chest tubes and on a 18:54 ventilator of course, catheters, 18:56 and they had these big things on 18:59 my legs to-- they're like big 19:03 massaging things because, of 19:05 course, the risk of blood clot 19:08 is high when you're just lying 19:10 there and also I had, there was 19:13 ten pumps with all kinds of 19:16 different concoctions going in. 19:20 And I was very out of it for the 19:23 first while. 19:24 I think first 24 hours I was 19:26 still very sedated, I wasn't 19:27 aware of anything. 19:29 And after that, I also had a 19:32 nasal gastric tube put in 19:33 because I couldn't eat and they 19:37 also had trouble getting me off 19:38 the respirator. 19:40 I was on for about two weeks 19:42 then they put a trach in and I 19:45 had that for a little while and 19:46 I had to be weened off that. 19:48 That was a challenge as well. 19:50 And... 19:52 ...and also I had to learn how 19:53 to, when that came out, how to 19:55 talk again because my breathing 19:57 was totally different. 19:58 When you can't breathe, you talk 20:01 in very short little clips so-- 20:04 and it was amazing to be able to 20:06 breathe and talk and my friends 20:08 and my family are like, "You're 20:11 not--" you know, "You're not 20:12 coughing, your voice is clear 20:15 and strong." 20:17 It was, it was amazing. 20:21 It was truly amazing 20:22 to be able to... 20:25 ...just have a whole new life. 20:27 It was literally a whole new 20:30 life and I remember on New 20:32 Year's Day, I was all by myself 20:36 and I just sensed God's 20:39 present-- presence so strongly, 20:42 it was just overwhelming. 20:43 It was like I was surrounded in 20:46 this cocoon of love and I just 20:49 felt I had been given a whole 20:52 new life, physically, 20:54 spiritually, emotionally. 20:56 I really felt healed 20:58 in so many ways. 20:59 You know, there's no fear and 21:02 even though I had a long way to 21:03 go, but I was incredibly 21:06 determined and I worked very 21:07 hard to get strong. 21:11 Walking and, you know, doing the 21:12 physio and so on and they 21:14 actually called me, some of the 21:17 doctors and nurses were saying I 21:18 was their miracle. 21:20 And I did give God the glory 21:24 because He fulfilled all the 21:25 promises that He had given me. 21:27 It was truly amazing. 21:29 >> Jennifer, can you tell us how 21:32 God used you to make a 21:34 difference in other patients' 21:36 lives? 21:38 >> Well, it goes back to the 21:39 tree vision of God showing me 21:43 that there was gonna be, after 21:44 transplant there was gonna be 21:45 clouds and rain and there 21:47 definitely was. 21:48 There was a lot of complications 21:50 and after I got out of the 21:52 hospital, I was back in four 21:55 times within just a few months. 21:58 But during that time, I came to 22:01 realize that God has a bigger 22:04 picture that what, you know, it 22:05 wasn't all about me because I 22:09 was determined to be well. 22:10 So I would get dressed in the 22:12 morning and I would go off when 22:16 I wasn't, like, hooked up to-- 22:18 well, sometimes even with the IV 22:19 pole, and I would go around the 22:21 hospital to vari-- I got to know 22:23 different parts of the hospital 22:25 and I wanted to exercise, of 22:27 course, and I also just wanted 22:29 to get out of my room. 22:31 But I would see all kinds of 22:32 patients and people 'cause I 22:34 walked outside even, you know, 22:36 I'd go around the block and 22:39 there was so many people that 22:40 needed encouragement, I could 22:42 see that were really struggling 22:44 and I just felt impressed to 22:46 talk to people and pray with 22:49 them and I had so many amazing 22:51 experiences. 22:52 It was really cathartic and my 22:55 husband as well had the same 22:57 kind of experiences where he 22:59 would just-- and it was a 23:00 saviour for him as well, to be 23:02 able to go and help others. 23:04 One day after my transplant, we 23:07 were-- we had to come back and 23:09 forth to the hospital for three 23:11 months after transplant, we 23:13 lived in Toronto. 23:14 And I was coming in for 23:16 exercise-- or leaving after 23:18 exercises, and as I was leaving, 23:20 there was somebody coming in 23:21 getting dropped off and she just 23:24 reminded me of myself. 23:25 Her husband dropped her off, she 23:27 was in a wheel chair, she had 23:28 oxygen, she looked like she was 23:30 having a really rough time, her 23:32 name was Christine-- is 23:33 Christine. 23:35 And I just said, "You know, 23:38 about just almost three months 23:39 ago I was where you're at right 23:41 now, you know, I couldn't 23:43 breathe, I couldn't even shower 23:45 myself," and she said, you know, 23:47 she was in tears and she said, 23:48 "You know, that's where I'm 23:49 almost at now." 23:51 And... 23:53 ...she was really struggling and 23:58 I just felt impressed to 24:00 encourage her and tell her how, 24:02 you know, God had helped me and 24:03 she said, "I believe that God 24:06 sent you today." 24:07 And it was interesting because 24:10 the exit that-- and entrance 24:12 that I saw her at was not the 24:14 usual one I went to. 24:15 My husband and I were talking, 24:17 he was telling me about some 24:19 people he had encouraged that 24:22 day and that morning, we had 24:24 prayed together that God would 24:27 use us to encourage somebody 24:29 else. 24:30 And this couple ran up to him as 24:32 he was parking the car and said, 24:34 "We've been looking for you for 24:35 two days! 24:36 Our daughter got a liver 24:38 transplant," because he had been 24:40 encouraging them before hand. 24:43 So-- and then with Christine, I 24:45 was able to stay in touch with 24:47 her and give her the promises, 24:49 God's promises, that had 24:51 encouraged me and help her to 24:54 get through her transplant and 24:55 afterwards, because I had gone 24:57 through it. 24:58 And as a result of that, we had 25:01 a couple of miraculous meetings 25:03 after, like in the lab when we 25:06 didn't plan to be together and 25:09 we saw each other and we 25:10 discovered that my husband had 25:12 already met her and her husband 25:15 without even knowing it, 'cause 25:16 he didn't know what this 25:17 Christine looked like. 25:19 And just so many wonderful 25:21 things that aren't coincidences, 25:24 you know, God's plan. 25:25 And even now, Christine and I 25:27 continue as friends and we stay 25:29 in touch and she's doing 25:31 very well. 25:33 >> Thank you so much, Jennifer, 25:35 for sharing your story with us. 25:37 Before we end, I wonder if you 25:39 can pray for our viewers. 25:40 There may be someone

leave nor forsake us. 26:25 You have not given us a spirit 26:27 of fear, but of power and of 26:29 love and of a sound mind and we 26:31 praise You and we thank You. 26:32 And I pray, Father, for anyone, 26:34 Lord, who is struggling just now 26:36 that they would reach out to 26:37 You, because, Lord, You are 26:38 waiting to hear from them, You 26:40 long to help them. 26:42 And I pray that

that God does not always say yes 27:35 to every request for healing. 27:39 >> Our free offer for you today 27:41 is Healing Prayer which explains 27:44 why God does not always say yes 27:46 to every request for healing. 27:49 It further discusses the 27:50 importance of submitting to 27:52 God's will and the relationship 27:54 between miraculous healing and 27:57 physical remedies. 28:00 Before
