Healed of Stage 4 Cancer

[Wells Marsh]

Posted this in a different forum – thought it might minister to someone here also.

Part 1 of 3:

When I got the diagnosis, I had not been in church for 25 years except to attend weddings and funerals. I had developed issues with churches, some of their beliefs and with some who attended them. My husband had many of the same issues.

The night after the hospital called to make arrangements for my surgery I called my sister, who lived quite a distance from me and told her. She kept me on the phone for the next 3 hours sharing the Word with me. I actually listened and was receptive to what she had to say. She introduced me to Word of Faith.

The only thing my sister had to work with was the fact that I had been born again at the age of 9 and I believed God was good. I could not have proven that to you but you could not have talked me out of it either.

My sister gave me a list of scriptures, from a Gloria Copeland bookmark and prescribed that I read them twice everyday, morning and night. She encouraged me to watch Kenneth & Gloria Copeland on the Believer’s Voice of Victory (BVOV) television broadcast. She gave me prayers to say and confessions to speak. She encouraged me to develop an inner vision; to imagine myself much older, healthy, and surrounded by grandchildren. She also directed me to a good church. At the end of our conversation, she prayed for me.

I wanted to go to church at least one time before my surgery because of one of the scriptures on the list my Sister gave me; James 5:14-15 (Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.) In my ignorance, I thought Word of Faith pastors must do this every Sunday.

Well, the Lord let the pastor know I was coming and prepared him. He taught on healing and then he invited the sick to come forward and be anointed with oil in the name of Jesus, I did. I was also able to get a recording of the sermon and one of the members gave me a teaching tape of Kenneth Hagin’s.

Part 2 of 3:

Because my husband and I were such babies in the Lord, we came into agreement in this way: We had faith to believe that God would work through the doctors and that I would be healed, and that God would protect me from all the negative effects of the treatments. I thank God for His Grace and the fact that He meets us where we are. We are to do what we know to do and His Grace covers the rest. On the morning of my surgery, I called the church and the Pastor’s wife prayed for me. We were nervous and her prayer reminded us to trust in the Lord.

The surgery went well, but there were complications, so I ended up staying in the hospital for over a week instead of two days. I missed church so my husband brought me a few more sermon and teaching tapes. I kept the recordings going continuously, even when sleeping (I used a headset). I also kept the TV on the channel where the BVOV was broadcast (muted unless the BVOV was on). I only took my headphones off when I had to.

Two nights before I was released, I had a wondrous God-dream. In the dream, I was absolutely full to the point of bursting with God’s love, life, and light. I watched as that light grew brighter and brighter. Then, I noticed some tiny black specks and watched as they winked out of existence, one after another. When I woke up, I knew that God had healed me of whatever the surgery had missed. Wow! I felt like I was positively glowing! And I felt like I was floating at least a foot or so off the floor! Even my roommate remarked that my face was positively shining. I replied that God is good!

I shared this dream with my husband who was very blessed by it. However, he had not spent his days as I had and this dream had not impacted him the way it had me. So, we continued to stand in agreement that God would work through the doctors and that God would protect me from all the negative effects of the treatments.

Being unified and in agreement with my husband was absolutely imperative to me. We grew closer through this experience. God used him to minister to me on countless occasions. I thank God for him!

Part 3 of 3:

Then, I received a box from my sister that was full of recordings of the BVOV, books/booklets by Kenneth & Gloria Copeland, Kenneth Hagin, and Charles Capps, and Christian music recordings. She instructed me to continue going to church and immersing myself in the things of God. We continued to call her or her husband with any questions; we had lots of questions.

Shortly after completing the Chemotherapy treatments, my sister flew out and took us to a Kenneth Copeland Believers Campaign that took place about 2 hours from my home. This was a wonderful and uplifting experience. During Gloria Copeland’s Healing Service, she gave a special call for anyone dealing with a diagnosis of cancer. I went forward and she laid hands on me and prayed for me – awesome!

A Bone Marrow Transplant and Radiation followed the Chemotherapy. I just kept my eyes on the Lord and continued to immerse myself in Him. My doctor called me the miracle girl. Aside from occasional feelings of weakness, I experienced none of the bad side effects of the treatments.

After I had gone through the Bone Marrow Transplant, one of those doctors told me that I had an 8 to 10% chance of being alive in two years. That didn’t bother me because I knew God’s truth and I knew that God’s truth trumps man’s truth every time. That conversation took place over 14 years ago! Hallelujah! Praise God!

The devil is incapable of taking me out unless I let him! Jesus disarmed the devil 2,000 years ago! I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord! (Psalm 118:17) AMEN AND AMEN!

Thank you so much for your story! I am recently diagnosed with uterine cancer and I am 29, never had kids, and recently married. I have mainly struggled with leaving my family and loved ones. I am scared but do need a full hysterectomy and I am in ill health as is. I have been praying multiple times a day for healing and strength, but it seems like no one believes in miracle healings anymore, but I believe and until I have my surgery I am praying for God to heal me through a miracle, so please pray for me and I shall pray for you right now! I am so happy you have shown everyone around you how God has impacted your life and how he has healed you! Praise God! And may God continue to bless you with good health!

Dear CindyMKF;

Please let me know if there is any way I may encourage you. I will of course keep you in my prayers. Do consider studying the healing scriptures I posted in another thread near my healing testimony. If you have any questions, I will try to answer them.

Hosea 4:6a My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge;
Psalm 103:1-5
1 Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His holy name!
2 Bless the LORD, O my soul,
And forget not all His benefits:
3 Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases,
4 Who redeems your life from destruction,
Who crowns you with loving kindness and tender mercies,
5 Who satisfies your mouth with good things,
So that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s.

Please do not entertain thoughts of leaving your family and loved ones. Instead, immerse yourself in God’s love for you and His goodness. Immerse yourself in Jesus’ finished work at the cross and what He did for you then. You have only begun to grasp how much Jesus loves you.

Hebrews 12:2 looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

You are the dearly beloved of Jesus!

Shalom (Peace: wholeness, completeness, nothing missing, nothing broken!)


P.S. Nights were the hardest for me. The enemy would come and whisper negative thoughts in my mind. I would struggle to turn off my mind and get a good night’s sleep. Then, one night, I started whispering back, “Jesus.” I would repeat the name of Jesus over and over (sometimes just in my thoughts so as not to disturb my husband). The next thing I knew it was morning and I had slept peacefully. With practice I got very good at this. In fact, I still do this when I need to. There is power in the Name of Jesus! Glory to God!

Psalm 91:5a You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, (The entire Psalm 91 is awesome!)
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out fear, because fear involves torment. But he who fears has not been made perfect in love.
