In the
summer of 1994 a tumor was discovered near my right kidney. Surgery revealed it
was malignant and a second surgery removed the tumor and the kidney. Six
months later another tumor was found in the bladder. During surgery in April
1995, it was discovered to be malignant. |
|
All during
this time, I received a lot of advice from a lot of directions. I tried many
supplemental treatments and my next two six-month checkups were fine. But two
more tumors in the bladder were found in November 1996. When the results from
a December surgery came back on these two tumors, they were not only
malignant but they were “Stage 3” cancer. The first two tumors had been
“Stage 1.” |

I searched
the Scriptures and asked God for direction. I grew up in the Assemblies and
had seen many healings through the years. James 5:14,15
just kept coming to my mind: “Is any one of you sick? He should call the
elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of
the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the
Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven” (NIV). |

About this
time, on a Sunday morning during the song service, our pastor, David Stevens,
felt led to go to the pulpit and ask for those who needed prayer to come
forward. He asked the “deacons” (elders) to come first and line up across the
front facing the congregation. I left the organ, which I was playing at that
time, and went down for prayer. As a hand was laid on my head, I claimed the
healing that I knew was mine. I knew this was my time. I had three-month and
then six-month checkups for the next three years and since then have gone in
annually. There has not been a trace of cancer in my body since that morning
more than six years ago. I give God all the Glory for what He has done for me.
