EASTER! Its a day of Resurrection celebrated by Christians around the world celebrate the RESURRECTION of Jesus. HOWEVER on this particular day, while celebrating that, JESUS showed up and healed me!!! Yeah yeah, you say, REALLY Jesus healed you??? YES He did. I had been diagnosed with that awful c word in January, and had started treatments a little later, and had a PET scan to verify that I did indeed have stage IV cancer on my larynx. It was stage IV because it had gone to my lymph nodes. NOT a good thing to hear. I mean after all I was a young guy, 60 years old! LOL, seriously, it was a shock to my system.
You might ask, HOW did you know you were healed? BECAUSE Gods WORD is true, and it was a real answer to prayer. NO I did not feel the earth shake, or see a visible visage of Jesus appear in front of me, but I did know, KINDA. I had been singing the the Easter Choir, and after the 2nd service of three that I would be singing in, I came down to sit with my wife, and she was in tears. I did not know if she had been particularly blessed by the choir that morning or if the worship was better than usual, or what exactly was going on. I, being of the inquiring type, asked her what was the matter, and she was quick to reply, I BELIEVE YOU WERE JUST HEALED! Probably the next most shocking thing I had heard in the past 3 months. I was not sure what to say or do, but I had to believe. Gods word is true. I had been prayed for that morning by different people in the choir, and one in particular as standing next to me and laid hans on my shoulders. YES prayer really works. I will likely NEVER forget that day.
This was all further verified that day and that week. I opened an email that afternoon from a friend who had sent it to an email address that I rarely checked, but her words astounded me. She did the usual greeting stuff, then proceeded to tell me she had a dream about me being healed. She saw a group of angels floating around my head appearing to be like sparkling lights. OH BY THE WAY, my wife also said she saw lights dancing around my head. NOW if this is starting to sound a bit Twilight Zone-ish, that week I had a PET scan that verified that I had NO evidence of cancer. And a PET scan will pick it up. I also had a first round of radiation. NASTY stuff, but one thing they told be before going in the little tube, (its like a CAT scan machine, only puts out nasty radiation.), was that I should not feel anything or SEE anything. Well guess what, I SAW things. Im sure your imagination is running rampant right now, and YES it was..............dancing strobe type lights every time the radiation thing made its circle past my closed eyes. When I told the technicians in charge they said that it was IMPOSSIBLE! HA, silly people NOTHING is impossible with God.
Im really not sure WHERE the burst of faith came from in all of this, but I do know that I had and continue to have TOTAL FAITH that God would heal, and continues to heal. I had to post this today because of the date. 5 years is a huge thing in the cancer world, most Dr's will tell you that the 5 year mark is meaningful in that once clear that long, you are clean. I KNOW that on this date 5 years ago, God made it happen. I did have to continue on with the radiation though I KNEW that I was already healed, but sometimes doctors want to make sure.
IF you are reading this and you are going thru cancer or any disease, it does not belong in your body. God did not create disease but we do live in a fallen world and stuff happens, HOWEVER God is stronger that ANY disease. NOW I cannot answer the ever present question about WHY some are healed and some are not. Maybe when we get to Heaven we can ask that question. I KNOW that He healed me, and I want to spread that word as much as I can.
Do you know that there are over 100 verses in the Bible on healing, but NONE that say God created illness? NEVER FEAR! NEVER DOUBT! BE STRONG! STAY STRONG! LIVE STRONG! DO NOT GIVE satan THE EDGE in anything.
Stories about life in general, politics, where I have been, where Im going, what I like to do.
