Thanks for your rant… Firstly, God doesn't give anyone cancer. We live in a world tainted by sin and most cancers are a result of human failing (not God's). We eat food tainted by greed (GMO products) that have been sprayed with all kinds of stuff and had their genetic structures altered by Frankenstein type scientists. We breathe air and drink water that have also been polluted. Our cars put out pollution as do our factories. Some smoke, drink heavily, and do drugs. With all of this combined (plus lots more) should we be surprised that some of us will get sick? Secondly, God is in the healing business yes, but sometimes the healing that happens is internal (spiritual). Yes, God heals some people physically, but God is more interested in where we will spend eternity and as such he oftentimes heals the inner person.

Just because we believe in God and decide to follow Him does not mean we get a get out jail free card with respect to living in this tainted world. Christians still suffer, feel pain and experience joy, just like everyone else on this planet. Following God is not going to make us rich, powerful, and healthy at all times, unless spiritually speaking of course.

Cancer is nasty. My own father died of cancer and it was not nice to watch him die. And my heart goes out to anyone who has or is dealing with this horrible condition. Do I have an answer why God didn't answer my prayers to heal my father physically? No. But hopefully in the short time I spent with him before his death he allowed God into his life to heal him on the inside… and hopefully he is now sitting with God.

You call it stupid to believe in this… I call it hope. What is your eternal hope in?

Blessings
Chris

If there was any kind of god ( which there isnt) who cared about you why the F&^K would it (god) give a completely decent woman a cancer and kill her? IF god actually cared about any of you god wound;t have given this woman cancer in the first place

Michael Sweet has moved on and remarried since Kyle passed away. He is now married to Lisa. I hope they will be very happy together.

Dear jesus I pray that you continue to help the sweet family through their difficult journey, and let them know that people from Australia and all over the world are praying for them. Please jesus i pray that you let Michael know that the reason kyle is not with us anymore is because Jesus loved her so much that he wanted her in to go to heaven and have a peaceful eternal life with Jesus.How lucky is she. I pray Jesus, that you let Michael and his family know that he will be re-united with Kyle in Heaven. Amen.

I totally agree with you Dee. I too thank God for the example that men of faith, like Michael Sweet and your husband, can trust in God no matter what comes their way. As I write this I am saddened that Kyle has now passed on to be with the Lord, but thankful that her fight is now over and that in Christ she has won!

When I see Michael’s bedrock faith and perserverance to Kyle, it moves me to tears. When I hear him sing songs like “Honestly”, and “Together As One”, I know he must have written them out of his overwhelming love and devotion to her. He, as well as the Lord, surely has been her rock of strength during this challenging time of their faith.My prayers go out to you Michael, and Kyle, and your children, that God wrap His loving arms around you all and give you strength to stand, no matter what the outcome. That your faith will be unwavering, because God can do the miraculous! When men walk away and say “It’s impossible’, that’s when the Lord moves to get Him some glory!
The music of Stryper has much sentimental meaning to me. It was the music of Stryper playing in the background in 1989, when my husband Craig and I fell in love.My husband is another example of a rock of unwaivering faith. He has stood by my side weeping and praying in the night when I too was battling a long agonizing, horrifically painful disease.His prayers helped me to perservere. In 2006, we both thought that death was surely at my door, after a week of a raging infection, that most likely had traveled into my bloodstream. He told me how he paced the floor all night, crying, interceding, and travailing for God to let me live, and not die. He did not want anyone else, or have to start over again, or have his children lose their mother. Miraculously, the next morning after over a week of mental confusion, and dementia, from my blood being poisoned by the infection,the fog began to clear, and I began to feel like my old self again! Glory to God! I truly thank God for godly men like Craig and Michael who dare to have, (as my now deceased Pastor use to call it,) “A pit bull faith mentality”.They dare to believe God against all the odds!

Kyle & Michael Sweet,
Your family has lived the example for all of us to see.
Two people together, who have devoted thier lives to one another,
with your convicted values about God’s ways leading you.
It has been my joy to listen to your music over the years,
and understanding how much you two have clung to one another
like glue over your years together, will add so much more
everytime I listen to your music in the future, because Stryper’s
music IS reflective of the foundation built only because you two
committed to building a Genuinely Loving Family.
Thank YOU two, and Thank God for using the Sweet’s
as an example of the joy God’s creation of marriage, brings,
when done with Him as our guide.
Thank You KYLE for ALL you have GIVEN,
as “Giving” is what it is ALL about!!!

Cindi, the latest is that Michael has canceled some shows to be with Kyle. I believe she is still very poorly. Michael put the following note on his website… “As many of our friends and fans know, Kyle has been battling cancer for some time now and after recent developments, and with much prayer and consideration, we believe it to be in the best interest of all for me to spend time with, and caring for, my wife. ”

Now would be a great time to pray for the Sweets. So keep praying that God’s will is done in their lives and that he gives them the strength to cope with what is happening. Thanks and blessings.
