About this ebook
“Fighting the good fight of faith.” 1 Timothy 6:12A KJV
Victory in The Storm is an exciting and inspirational book that will help you through your fight with cancer or any illness. What you learn in this book will build up your faith and strengthen you as you heal. What I wrote is what I learned after the doctors wanted to pull the plug on me. What I wrote here is how I was able to inspire others as I got my healing victory.
My prayer as you read this inspirational book is that it will build up your faith. As you read this book. I pray you will build up an expectancy and an atmosphere for miracles. As your faith increases, you will be stirred up and you will get your breakthrough. Another place you can build up your faith is by reading the Bible. Romans 10:17 ESV says, “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ.”
I once was in ICU for 37 days, 10 of them in a coma. The doctors gave me little hope. Several times they asked my family to pull the plug on me. The doctors gave me a death sentence, but God gave me a life sentence. He always has the final say. God said “your time, Butch Dias, is not up. You need to tell the world of My story.”
I had to make a conscious choice not to listen to the doctor’s report. I read my Bible and researched every healing scripture there was in it. I spent time memorizing them and praying them over myself. I had many Bible believing friends that stuck with me and encouraged me, and prayed me through the bad days. I would learn to stand on the Word of God and in tougher times, stand more. I was blessed to have a great support system. People prayed relentlessly for me. They had “Pit Bull” faith. They would not let go of my healing promises. Miracle after miracle happened and I had to step out in faith to survive. The more I stepped out in faith, the more I got well. I learned that baby steps were still steps forward. Baby steps were just building blocks of faith.
This book was written with the love and compassion to help hurting people with what I learned. This is how I found victory for my situation. Sometimes you have to position yourself to receive. A tight end in football has to run the right route to be able to receive the pass from the quarterback. He has to position himself to receive the ball or he will never get his touchdown. By releasing our faith we can create an atmosphere to receive our miracle.
Praying for your miracle today and believing for your healing.
Sincerely yours in Christ,
Butch Dias
Matthew 14:12 NASB, “When He went ashore, He saw a large crowd, and felt compassion for them and healed their sick.”
Butch Dias
Butch started writing poems after spending 10 days in a coma. He was in ICU for 37 days, 10 of them in a coma. He was released after 50 days. The doctors told his family to pull the plug several times. During his recovery time, he started writing his feelings in a journal. Many of these writings came out as poems. Butch started writing about life and how he felt. During the month of October, he watched all the support for breast cancer awareness. One day during prayer he wrote his first poem about cancer. He wanted to give back to the community. He wanted to encourage others that were battling his terrible disease. Butch is the author of “Inspiration for Tough Times” and “Christmas Poems from the Heart.” All books published by X-libris Publishing Company. Praying for you and hope you will be encouraged by my books. Butch now resides in Royal Palm Beach, Florida.

This book was written with the love and compassion to help hurting people with what I learned. This is how I found victory for my situation. Sometimes you have to position yourself to receive. A tight end in football has to run the right route to be able to receive the pass from the quarterback. He has to position himself to receive the ball or he will never get his touchdown. By releasing our faith we can create an atmosphere to receive our miracle.
Praying for your miracle today and believing for your heaing.
