Deaf Ear Opened

Hi Michelle,

Sorry it has taken a couple days to get back to you.... Life is full of surprises!

So, back in 1998 I was 17. I went on a ride at the fair, the Starship 2000 (if you know which one that is). While I was on it, my tumor burst. We didn't know it existed at that point so we thought it was just my ear drum. After a couple weeks my parents finally agreed that it was time to see a doctor. She said it was not the ear drum, but maybe a cyst, and recommended I see an ENT. The Dr put me on antibiotics and my "cyst" grew. They decided they would do a CT scan and then surgically remove it.. My Mom wasn't too excited about this Dr just removing it, so she took me up to her surgeoun in Seattle. My Mom had skin cancer on her lip a couple years prior and he had done an amazing reconstructive job.

So, we went to see Dr. Clarke. They did all of their tests and decided it was a tumor but only 1% chance of it being cancerous.They removed my whole saliva gland and when I got the 100+ stitches out they told me it was cancerous. I think I was in shock because at that time my response was "Where do I go from here?" The Dr's had already arranged through the University of Washington in Seattle that I would be starting my radiation treatments. Dr Clarke retired about 6 months after my surgery! My radiation treatments are only done in two places world wide, Seattle WA and Detroit. My last day of radiation treatments was 12-31-98.. I started '99 off with a clean slate!

The tumor in my saliva gland put a lot of pressure on my Rt. Eustachian tube. I lost almost all hearing in my right ear. While in Germany at our PWOC retreat 11-08, we were asked to "give up" something we felt was hindering us from giving ourselves completely to Him. I wrote down something that I wanted, but God had other plans! I could feel the pull, but I kept telling myself that I I wasn't done grieving what had happened. I still felt the self-pity. I survived cancer, but why me? I know after 10 years I should have been more emotionally healed, but I was not. So, all of us ladies at the retreat wrote down our "give up" and laid them at the cross. The next song we sung was "I am FREE!" During this song I started to hear voices and music in my right ear! I hadn't heard out of that ear for 10 years! It was a miracle! I have been healed! Physically and Emotionally! After the song I realized God gave me my hearing 10 years to the day after I was diagnosed with cancer! 11-05-98
I was diagnosed and on 11-05-08 my hearing returned! A Miracle from God!


I hope this helps all of you heal! If you have questions I am more than happy to answer ;)

Praying for you guys!

Jesus Christ Makes Us Whole

This scritpure really encourages me:

"And there he found a certain man named Aeneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and was sick of the palsy. And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed. And he arose immediately."
Acts 9: 33-34

(I have to say...Peter told this poor guy to make his bed, proof positive that Peter must have been German.)

Please post your testimonies

(little Billy)

Just a reminder to post your testimony under the "comments" section of each post. Although the healing delays, we do not lose heart, for He who promised is faithful. He watches over his word to perform it. God bless you.

Blind Eyes Opened

This testimony was sent to us from Dr. Lee who is presently ministering in Amman, Jordan.

He has been moving mightily during each night's meeting. Tonight, I preached about His divine healing power at a Free Evangelical Church. During the altar call, a widow brought her three children who were all blind. I began to pray for their blind eyes to be opened. After about 10 minutes of prayer, the daughter began to recognize her mother and began to see the shapes of people. I prayed for her and her brothers more intently for 10 more minutes. Her brother began to cry and say that he could recognize lights in the ceiling. After 10 more minutes, they began to read the sign of the church and their eyes were opened. All the congregation were crying with joy. It was the sweetest miracle that I have ever experienced in my 21 years of mission work. I give all the glory to the Lord. Several others also received His divine healing and deliverance and over 12 came to the Father. God is answering your prayers.

Introduction

Your testimonies have I taken as a heritage forever, for they are the rejoicing of my heart. Psalm 119:111

This blog is dedicated to my father, Bill Rogers. Since the fall of 2005 when he was first diagnosed with throat cancer, Dad has patiently, consistently, and courageously fought the battle for his life. Dad has faced down this disease with a rare optimism and unwavering faith. He is my hero.

I have made my prayer to the God of my salvation. I am standing in faith to see my Dad's life restored back to him. God has graciously poured out his love over us through Jesus Christ; in and through him we have been given every blessing pertaining to life and godliness. By faith in Christ, healing is ours, emotional, spirtual, and physical, the whole man. This is the love of God, and it is beyond human comprehension. For by his stripes, through his suffering, we have been reconciled to God, released from every curse...if we will only dare to believe in a passionate God who gave everything that He could give in Christ Jesus. "He who knew no sin became sin for us, that we might become the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus." Our hearts bow prostrate before His unspeakable love and kindness, his tender mercies.

There is tremendous power in our testimony. I want my Dad to have access to these testimonies, so that his faith can connect with the body of Christ, and he may recieve the blessings that God has lavished upon us in Christ! Having done all to stand, I am standing on every promise of the gospel of Jesus Christ. My heart resonates with Christ's prayer to the Father, in the hour of his greatest trial: "Abba, Father, with you all things are possible!"

Please share your testimonies, prayers, and words of encouragement for my dad. I cannot express how much this means to me, and what a blessing you are to take the time to write a note, a testimony, a prayer. May the God of all comfort be with you, and grant you his shalom, his completeness!

For they overcame by the blood of the Lamb, and the word of their testimony.
