"God is going to
heal you ...."
We met Alton a couple months ago and visited
with him in his home on the river. A couple days
later, I heard God asking me to call Alton and to give him
this "word of knowledge:" "I hear the God saying that He is going
to heal you of something. I don't know what is wrong with
your health or what
He will require of you, but God says that your body is not getting
enough oxygen and He is going to do a miraculous healing."
Alton said that he had not been to a doctor and
that I was scaring him. I told him that God's purpose was not to
scare him but the "word of knowledge" was given to let him know beforehand that he would have a miraculous
healing (when he
needed it.) I explained that the devil has a plan to take him out
early, like he did two of his children but that he won't get a chance
to, because God will heal him. We kept in touch and became good
friends. I prayed for his health.
Monday a week ago, Alton called to say that he had
gone to the Doctor and that his chest x-ray was bad on both sides (lung
cancer.)
He would be having a CT-Scan within a week and was very
interested in us praying for him. Two ladies and I went over to
pray and to give him a little booklet of John. I
took his hands and told him, "God is not only going to give you a
miraculous healing but
He wants to work through you, like partnering with you, to heal others and
to show them His love." We encouraged him to study God's
love and miraculous healing in the New Testament and to agree with
God continuously about his own healing.
He had the CT-scan and called today to give me
the results. He sounded tearful and asked me to sit down.
The office had called to tell him that his CT-scan was completely clear
except for a small scar from the past! He is so overjoyed. He
says everyone has been calling him to find out if he has lung cancer
and he is telling them that God has given him a miraculous healing
instead.
In fact, he is telling them the whole story from the "word of
knowledge" on. Now that's something to praise God about!
That's why Jesus said that He is the way, the truth and the LIFE!
Our salvation is for our health: body, soul and spirit!

God is so much nicer than people think!
Even lung
cancer has to bow to Jesus! When Jesus died on the cross for us, He
provided for our physical, mental and emotional healing along with our
salvation. The passion of Christ has been to provide
for our healing and salvation all along. Here are some Bible Verses that refer to

We have been commissioned to pray for miracles of
healing in Mark 16:18: we shall lay hands on the sick and they
shall recover. In Luke 10:1, 9 Jesus appointed the 70 disciples to
heal the sick. Later, He gave the gift of healing to individuals
in 1 Corinthians 12:9 and the gift of healing to the church in 1
Corinthians 12:28.
For
more scriptures concerning our commission to pray for healing of
illnesses and disease read Is. 61:1-2, Matt.4:23,
8:16-17, 9:12-13, 10:1, 5, 8, Mark 16:15, 17-18, Luke 10:1, 8-9
Note: There may be spiritual
roots of an illnesses that are blocking healing. Next, read

lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me.
