In 2006, on the August Bank Holiday I had some pain in my chest. I went to the Doctor’s and it was diagnosed that I had Lung Cancer. At that point, the Doctor’s gave me 2-3 weeks to live. Richard and Dave immediately came and prayed with me at my home. All the Elders then prayed and anointed me with oil for healing the next Sunday before the Church. At this time, I believed from God that I would be totally healed from Cancer.
I then went through a full course of Chemotherapy. This took place in 8 separate weeks over 3 months. During this time, I was once short of breath and they gave me a blood transfusion of 4 pints. The white blood cells were disappearing so they gave me an injection to boost the white blood cells. This treatment was then followed by a full course of radiotherapy that took place over 8 days.
Praise God! – During all this treatment, I lost no hair and didn’t suffer from any sickness. I was able to walk upstairs and knew that I was in the healed in the name of Jesus. During the chemotherapy I was given some anti-sickness tablets that I didn’t use. I gave these back after the treatment. I was also given some medicine that I poured down the drain because I didn’t need it – I knew I was totally healed!
Every scan that I had began to show how the cancer was getting smaller & smaller. It was as if the miracle was happening right before my eyes on the screen! I was able to testify to the Doctor’s and Nurses about how God heals and that no sickness is beyond his powerful healing hand. I knew that God had healed me and the scans and medical evidence just had to catch up with what had already happened in my body.
I had a CT scan in late July this year just after Bible Week. The cancer has nearly all gone away – I believe that God will totally clear it, and I will have the scans to prove it. I’ve had no side effects or sickness and feel totally healthy. There are no symptoms or side-effects of the cancer in my life at all.
In the last 12 months, I have put double-glazing into our house, fitted a new kitchen, re-laid the drive and put some new cladding on the front of the house. I’ve never felt better!
I believe that God is a God who heals. He is a miracle working God. When I was diagnosed with Caner, I went through the Bible and wrote down all the Scriptures that mention healing. I then spoke and confessed them in faith out loud over my life. My body just had to come in line with the Word of God – it had no choice!
