About Me

 

Welcome!

My name is Liz Roman and I'm so glad you are here.  Thank you for allowing me to share my story of radical healing and continued transformation in Christ.  

On January 14, 2010, I was miraculously healed from BiPolar Disorder II at the age of 38.  Two weeks later, at a bible study, I met my amazing husband, Joey, a man of faith who has been in Christ for over 20 years.  Two years later we were married and five years into our marriage, I became pregnant with my first child!

Imagine my surprise at finding out I was pregnant at 45!  I'd never been pregnant!  Actually, I believed that window of opportunity had closed and that it would be impossible to conceive a child so late in my life but on June 28, 2017, Noah Anthony Roman came into the world.   

From the start, my pregnancy was extreme.  I suffered from horrible bouts of nausea that lasted all day long for a full 20 weeks.  I ate so little that I couldn't put on any weight.  Then, at 25 weeks, I had a minor car accident that put me in pre-term labor.  In less than a week, I went into contractions on five separate occasions.  To avoid an early delivery, my obstetrician put me on complete bed rest until my due date.  Sounds lovely but it wasn't, at all.  I could only get up to go to the bathroom and that's about it.  Whenever I left the house, it was in a wheelchair because even a simple walk was painful and put too much pressure on my uterus.  

As if things could not get any worse, at 30 weeks pregnant, I discovered a  large lump in my right breast which was diagnosed as stage two, HER2 positive breast cancer.  Unfortunately, the tumor was growing aggressively and a team of doctors advised me to begin chemotherapy immediately-while pregnant!

Many were scared for me, but the Lord showed up and showed out!  Through my prayers for His advice, Jesus confirmed that I should let the doctors take care of me because He would take care of my son, Noah. 

So, I began chemotherapy at 33 weeks pregnant.  By my second session, at 36 weeks, I'd lost all my hair!   

But no matter the circumstance, because of my faith in Jesus Christ, I would not allow the devil  to steal my joy!  There was a baby in my belly and that was a miracle.  I certainly didn't want my baby to feel anything other than joy, so I decided early on to rejoice in the Lord to renew my mind every day, all day.  Although it's not easy, it's worth it.  My life of constant prayer, worship, and time in God's word has transformed me even more. 

But I also could not have done it without an army of prayers.  Numerous people in churches all over the US including NY, NJ, PA, CT, FL, TN, and Puerto Rico lifted me up in their prayers.  Hundreds of prayer warriors bombarded heaven on our behalf for protection through this journey.  It worked.  Noah decided he couldn't take any more chemo after the second session and he burst into the world a month early.  He was born healthy, happy, and perfect in every way.   

I know without a shadow of a doubt that it is because I am a born-again, miracle believing woman of faith that the Lord gave me another testimony of healing.  So here I am again, ready to testify about the Lord's goodness.  My surrender to Jesus in 2010, followed by my instantaneous healing from an "incurable" mental illness, and then my subsequent marriage to an awesome man of God led me to a supernatural pregnancy-all sign of the miraculous power of Jesus Christ!  

Jesus continues to perform miracles in my life.  Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think."  God is willing and able to do more than we can ever imagine.  Isn't that great news? Through all this, I can honestly say that my faith never wavered.  I experienced many low points due to pain, but I always trusted God.

As Evangelist Ray Comfort puts it in his book God Speaks:  "There's a reason that those who are born-again never doubt the miracles of God. They have already experienced their own big miracle."  I most certainly have.  Coming to Christ was a miracle in itself!

In my former life as a manic-depressive, I was also a professional Tarot Reader, a self-proclaimed "white-witch," a Buddhist, an astrologer, a numerologist, and a practitioner of a myriad of mystical practices that I believed would improve my spirit.  But all my efforts to find peace in the so-called spiritual practices were never accomplished.  In reality, with each "new-age" practice, my body, mind, and spirit only worsened.  Real-life demons attacked me!

But God is so good!  I had to first "go crazy" and "lose my mind" before I could go "crazy for Jesus" and be healed.   (You can read more about my history with the occult and miraculous healing under my testimony page.)

Now I am free of depression, mania, anxiety, madness, and the occult forces that assailed me.  My faith is stronger and I continue to live in expectation of the Lord's goodness, no matter what my eyes see and hear.  Psalm 62:5 says when we wait for the Lord we can expect good things from Him.

"My soul, wait silently for God alone,
For my expectation is from Him."   (Psalm 62:5, NKJV)

I now share my new journey of healing and transformation in my blog to glorify God and all that He has done and plans to do in my life as He "grows me" through this experience.

What the devil meant for evil, God will use for good. (Genesis 50:20)

I pray you are blessed! 

In Faith, Trust, and Love in Jesus Christ,

Liz Roman, Joey Roman, and Noah Roman.
