A Healing Miracle - Testimony

Mare’s life seemed to detonate overnight when doctors revealed her husband's weekend-long stomach pain was stage IV pancreatic cancer. They gave him a year to live with treatment. But Mare knew God could overcome anything. She believed and prayed with friends and family for his complete healing. After six months of treatment, CT and PET scans showed no tumor. The doctor was amazed, but Mare knows it is the power of her Savior.

Mare's Miracle Story

The faithful love of the Lord never ends. His mercies never cease. He is our hope.

"Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, 'The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!' " (Lamentations 3:23-24, NLT)

The Diagnosis

My world exploded on April 28, 2014 when the doctors said, "It's stage IV pancreatic cancer metastatic to the liver."

My 52-year-old husband had just had a weekend of stomach pain that we attributed to the stomach flu. Then things got worse.

Believing for Healing

The doctors said he had three to six months to live or maybe a year with treatment. It was hard to hear.

I looked at my husband of 14 years and said, "Don’t listen to them. They do not know God."

Immediately the prayer requests started to go out among our family and friends. Many people began to pray for my husband's healing. I prayed believing and trusting from the beginning God would heal him.

God Can Overcome

From a worldly perspective, this cancer is too aggressive to be healed. But from God's perspective, nothing is too aggressive to overtake his will.

He sent his only Son into this world to overcome the darkness. That includes cancer.

"The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness can never extinguish it." (John 1:5, NLT)

He is our victory. He is our over comer. He is our healer.

"For every child of God defeats this evil world by trusting Christ to give the victory. And the ones who win this battle against the world are the ones who believe that Jesus is the Son of God." (1 John 5:4-5, NLT)

A Medical Miracle

Six months later, after two rounds of chemotherapy, my husband’s CT scan shows no tumor. His PET scan reveals no cancer.

His doctor is stunned. The medical world disbelieves, but we know God has healed him. His mercies are new every morning. For this we give great thanks to our precious Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
