SID: And I mean, this is his identity. He’s teaching this stuff all over, seeing signs and wonders. And God says, “It’s nothing?”
RYAN: Nothing. And it was a moment where I said, “God, you’re going to have to show me what I’m missing.” And he did.
SID: And when he showed this to you, three months later you got a call that no son wants to have from your mother. What did she tell you?
RYAN: I did. In March of that year, I was ministering a place in Virginia and the phone rang and it was my mother and I knew instantly she was upset and she said, “Ryan.” “Ryan.” She said, “I got to tell you something.” She was crying. She said, “They’ve diagnosed me with cancer.”
I’ve been diagnosed with cancer.
RYAN: And it’s severe in her body enough that the surgery had to be immediate and they had to do a double mastectomy and stuff and they were concerned about it going into the lymph nodes. And I told my mother then, I said, “Mom.” I said, “I know right now this is a heavy word for you and it’s okay to weep. It’s okay to cry. It’s okay right now in this moment, but I have a word from the Lord, you will live and not die. This is an attack from the enemy.” And I told her, “I will fight for you in this. You’re going to come out victorious.”
SID: And one of the things that I found fascinating is Ryan actually knew something else that he did not tell his mom. And that’s why he has had so much confidence. What did you know that you purposely did not tell your mom?
RYAN: Many years prior to that, my oldest daughter, now, she’s fixing to be 21 and she was about three, four years old at the time. And my mother had called me and she had had a series of dreams every night for multiple weeks. And in the dream she was playing with grown grandchildren and there was a multitude of grandchildren and at the time of the dreams there was only three grandchildren in the family. So this, I knew this was something way down the road because of what God had revealed to me in January, I knew that there was a prophetic destiny over my mother’s life, and this is why the enemy was trying to steal that. So I didn’t remind my mother about the dream.
SID: Why?
RYAN: I needed God to reveal that to her again. I needed God to bring that back up into her spirit, not for me to remind her, but to know that the Father is calling upon you to see this fulfilled.
SID: Five months later, Ryan, your mom wanted to die. When you hear how much she was suffering, you’ll understand why. Be right back.
We’ll be right back to It’s Supernatural.

We now return to It’s Supernatural.
SID: So your mother had all the cancer removed, all the treatments that go with that kind of cancer and but the treatments took a toll on her.RYAN: They did because of the severity of the cancer, she had to have chemo and radiation at the exact same time and it took a major toll on her. But what we didn’t anticipate is how it would affect her mind and how the enemy would take advantage of that. So we were visiting at my parents’ house. I’d lived out of the state and we were there and out of the blue, my mother’s snaps.
Now she’s a 5’2″, very petite Southern Belle woman. And she just snapped and hollered at my father and this was so out of her character and she went into the bedroom and she called for, my name. At first, I was not that excited about going in that bedroom, but I went in there and I had not seen my mother without her hair. I had purposely kept myself from seeing that because I wanted to be strong for my mother. And I went in there and she pulled her cap off and she laid her head on my chest and she said, “Ryan, I’m tired and I cannot do this anymore. I can’t go on. I want to die.”
