Cheng Nadres: A Warrior Who Declared Healing in Jesus’ Name—Then Went Silent
Cheng Nadres, a devout Christian from Victory Church, was diagnosed with Stage 3 Oligodendroglioma around 2017. Despite the grim prognosis, she boldly declared, “I am cancer-free in the mighty name of Jesus.” Under the handle “princess warrior,” she inspired many, actively preaching through platforms like Buhay Kristiyano and Bangon Kapatid, while also sharing insights on singleness and relationships. She blogged passionately about God’s power and faithfulness.
Though she battled depression, cancer didn’t crush her—it drew her closer to God—or so she testified. But about two years after her declaration, Cheng vanished from social media. Her accounts were deliberately deactivated, private messages unrecoverable, and her once-bold voice fell silent.
What Happened to Cheng?
Stage 3 oligodendroglioma (brain tumor) often turns aggressive, and the average survival is 3–5 years. Cheng’s cancer may have returned, and depression or bitterness could have silenced the hope she once declared “in Jesus’ name.”
When a Good God Doesn’t Heal
To those still waiting for healing, the real loss isn’t cancer—but failing to praise God until the journey ends. God still works abundantly, but miracles are rare because signs and wonders have ceased.
Devout Christians Agnes Sarthou and Peggy Ongsiaco died of cancer, yet received different measures of grace—Agnes lived more than a decade; Peggy only three weeks. We cannot “claim or declare” what God has not willed—that’s not in the Bible, but we should say “Not my will but Yours.“
John 3:27
“A person cannot receive even one thing unless it is given him from heaven.”
