Tumor shrinks dramatically through prayer
One evening late in September, DJ and I went to a hospital in the city where we live (in the Middle East), at the request of one of my Muslims students. I have previously written about this student, as he has experienced supernatural healings in response to our prayers on 3 separate occasions. His father has cancer, a very rare type that is very difficult to deal with surgically due to the location of the tumor. The family are traditional Bedouins. When I walked into the hospital room, I sensed an atmosphere of fear and despair and hopelessness. It turns out that my student didn’t want us to pray for his dad – just to look at medical reports and comment on what treatment they should pursue. (He said, “I know God can heal, but we need something more scientific this time.”) We were able to give them some advice, but during a moment when others left the room, I spoke words of hope and faith to the dad. I held his arm as we talked, and I prayed quietly for him, speaking life and health into him. The father was feeling very weak and had a raging fever.
In early October the father was taken to the UK. Exploratory surgery confirmed what the local doctors had said – that surgery was not an option, and that chemotherapy was the most viable solution – and even so, the given estimate of success was very low. The surgeon estimated that the tumor measured 9 cm by 7 cm.
Desperate for another opinion, the family sent the father to a prominent cancer institution in the US in early November. The doctors there were in fact able to perform surgery – very delicate, but possible. They found that the tumor was now only 2 cm by 2 cm! They were able to remove most of the tumor, and plan a second surgery to remove the rest. They are predicting 100% success! His father is feeling very well. My student is amazed. He is convinced that the reduction in the size of the tumor was due to a miracle, that God did the impossible. That is what he is telling anyone who will listen – in his family, at the college, and at his work. While we rejoice with him, we also pray that salvation will come to this family who has repeatedly experienced the miraculous.
