IN the fall of 1998 my wife went to the doctor because of some serious health issues that had rapidly gotten worse. I will never forget the look of fear,despair and anxiety as she exited the medical exam room. I briskly walked over to her as she leaned on the nurses counter. She was shaking. Tears were running down her cheeks and dropping onto the counter. I asked" What is it"? She said he had found something so large that she could tell he was a bit shaken. He had instructed her to immediately see a specialist and the nurse would give her the info at the desk. Thus began her weeks of blood tests, MRIs,more tests, labs before the doctor finally told her what type cancer he was dealing with. He told her an operation was mandatory! I remember telling him that 'I have a God who can/ will heal her" and him just letting my words pass him by. My precious wife whom God had given me could not/would not be taken away. NO!! I would not accept it!!
The surgery was scheduled for January 25. During this whole time we never used the 'C' word. In prayer God had assured me she would be healed...and in the 'Old fashioned way I had so longed to see". In my early years of ministry I had heard from numerous 'old time preachers' of the mighty ways God would perform miracles, especially healing. I waited and believed it!! A week before surgery we were in a power packed Holy Ghost service. The Holy Ghost spoke to me to anoint my wife and pray for her. While the singing was going on I called her to the front and did exactly that. As the Spirit descended on her her face began to glow and she collapsed to the floor. In a while she began to slowly get to her feet . God said to "anoint her again". This time the power of God was so strong and she collapsed again. God said He had healed her. After a long while she again stood to her feet with the Power of God radiating from her!! I watched as she left the sanctuary and didn't return for a long while. Immediately at the close of service she came to me and whispered " We must leave now" . In the car she began to tell me how she began to feel something 'moving'. Without sounding graphic she explained she had passed a large mass of 'something' and some blood. I told her it was the cancer. We took her to the doctor the next day who immediately ran more blood tests and another MRI. When the tests returned he took us into a room and we all sat down. He looked at the tests and said " I do not know what happened, everything that was present before is now GONE. There is nothing in the MRI or any of the blood tests. I cannot find anything" We both smiled and I told him" Doctor, I told you God would heal her". He hung his head and tears came done his cheeks. He then asked my wife if she would allow surgery to 'insure' that all was gone and there was a typical female problem he could fix at that time also. Surprisingly my wife agreed. She went to surgery on January 25,1999.
I sat confidently but also concerned about the operation and with the pain she would go thru while healing. When they brought her out of the operation room she was still under the 'gas' and would be sleeping for a long while. I decided to drive home to get something. During the ride home the doctor called and told me he found nothing cancerous in her. He said he even brought in another specialist and a pathologist to verify, and nothing was to be found!! Again I told him God had healed her. Her recuperation was a very short one. Her major incision completely healed to the amazement of the nurses and doctors .She has NO SCAR .God had healed her in the 'Old fashioned way" ...just like He said!! Praise God!!
Since that time we have seen numerous healing of cancers,nerve problems, heart problems and other mighty miracles in our ministry. We take no credit ..God does it all. No one can ever convince me that my God, Jesus, is not a God of miracles!!
