The story of my healing begins in April 2011, when I went to the doctor for a regular physical exam. The doctor did some blood work and then sent me for a CT scan and a liver biopsy. The diagnosis was stage four metastasized cancer.
The CT scan showed tumors in both lungs, three tumors in the liver—and it had metastasized into my bones. The lab results on my blood work were so abnormal, my doctor commented several times that he had never seen numbers that high. I think even he was shocked at how bad things looked. He gave me approximately six months to live and sent me home with a morphine pack.
I told the doctor I was a Christian, and I heard what he was saying, but I chose to believe God and I would believe the report of the Lord. I said, “I’m going to pray and see what God will do, because God always has the final word.”
The first thing I did was to go home and pray with my family. I also began watching Christian television programming, and I discovered that your program, The Place for Miracles®, came on my TV at 7 AM and 1:30 PM every day. I watched the show faithfully just to let that healing anointing soak in. I would lay my hands on the screen when Richard or Lindsay would pray, and I would receive my healing by faith. That’s where my faith began to grow.
One night while watching your program, I felt an intense heat in my abdomen, and I knew that the largest tumor in my liver had just disappeared. The next CT scan confirmed it. It was like it had been surgically removed, but the doctor never touched me.
During this time I underwent chemotherapy, even though doctors had little hope. I also called the Abundant Life® Prayer Group many, many times for the prayer of agreement according to Matthew 18. They never got tired of me calling. I became a partner with Richard Roberts, and he began sending me faith-building letters every month. I read his and Lindsay’s books and listened to their CDs. And I always wore the blue prayer cloth that Richard sent me that was specifically for cancer and incurable diseases.
Through reading and listening to their ministry materials, God helped me overcome the fear that seems to always come with a cancer diagnosis. My faith grew stronger and stronger, and I just kept believing God and declaring along with Richard and Lindsay and the ALPG prayer partners that no trace of cancer would be found in my body.
In August 2013, I received my first normal test result. The tumor marker test came back normal. Further tests revealed the tumors were gone—disappeared, dissolved into nothing. Doctors thought I had gone somewhere else and had surgery! They declared that I was in remission, but I knew God had healed me.
Now it’s February 2014 as I give this testimony, and I’m feeling great. I am standing in faith for total restoration from some scar tissue left behind in my bones, and I know that my God who has done a good work in me is also faithful to complete it.
That is my miracle testimony, and I pray that it helps build others’ faith for their own healing of cancer. God is a miracle-working God!
