God's Healing

I know many in our church body who are battling cancer and other diseases. Here is one story from our church of God's healing to encourage us all.

"Praise God! Please pass on to the prayer team and the many who continue to pray for Bob during his colon cancer treatment. Today I have witnessed a true miracle from God and His powerful healing. Bob was told by the oncologist on Friday to not be hopeful for positive results from the PET scan due to the nature of this tumor. The doctor felt he had a primary cancer site above the colon and bladder, and it was probable that the lymph nodes were affected. We were looking at four months of chemotherapy before they could operate to remove it. Well, glory to God, today's results have the doctors baffled. Not only is there no sign of any other cancer sites, but the lymph nodes are not affected at all and the tumor appears to be shrinking. We will see the surgeons to schedule his next surgery to remove the tumor, reconnect the colon to get rid of the colostomy bag, and repair the bladder. Of course, there is always a chance that the Lord will heal him further by the time he goes for surgery! I have requested the copies of each of the scans he has had. I saw with my own eyes the tumor outside the colon two weeks ago, and now today it is not there. It is only inside the colon and into the bladder, which even appears to be retracting into a tight ball and not affecting other tissue. The doctor said he has never seen colon cancer present like this in his career, and definitely had not seen scans contradict themselves to such a degree. It appears to have gone from 18.4 cm to 13.4 cm in this past week. Please continue to pray for him as I know the Lord has great things in store for him." — Shirley Parks
