  1. So in 91 to 2000, I was Pastor David's associate pastor. 2000,

  2. we had a young man come in that was our youth pastor, brand new

  3. youth pastor for us. His name was Earl Glisten.

  4. So that's how I got to know Pastor Earl Glisten.

  5. And I was, you know, I loved it. I loved him from the very

  6. beginning. He, he had some fire that the

  7. rest of us didn't have. And I'll just never remember,

  8. you know, I never forget. I mean, as that I'll never

  9. forget the different messages that he had that, you know,

  10. really spoke to our youth and gave us the, the men that we

  11. have today. Like, you know, Pastor Marcus

  12. was one of those. Joshua Clay, my son was one of

  13. those. We had several people that had

  14. come down here eventually because of his influence in

  15. their lives. And so, you know, one of the

  16. things that I during that time when I was the associate pastor,

  17. I had buried a lot of friends, not very old from cancer.

  18. And as you know, hungry Bible student.

  19. I was wanting to know, OK, Lord, we did everything that you told

  20. us to do. We laid hands on.

  21. We taught him the word of God. We also, you know, took elders

  22. over, anointed with oil. Everything your word said we

  23. did, but they didn't make it. And that bothered me because it

  24. had the appearance at the time that your word doesn't work.

  25. And so I went to the Lord about it and I asked him.

  26. I said, tell me what is up, tell me why they didn't make it after

  27. we did everything in your word. And I'm growing, I'm growing as

  28. a Christian. I'm I'm wanting to know, you

  29. know what, what are what are these things about?

  30. And one thing that the Lord showed me, he said there was a

  31. common denominator with all the people that I buried and I and

  32. he said, just think about them. And I did.

  33. I just called their name before for the Lord.

  34. I was just sitting there in prayer and he said, Randy, he

  35. said they didn't they didn't find or embrace their purpose,

  36. man. They were just going through

  37. life, the emotions they were going to work trying to raise

  38. kids, coming to church, some serving, some not, you know, and

  39. they and he said they just never found their purpose.

  40. So I, during that time in, in, you know, Oklahoma and serving

  41. on staff, I preached hundreds of times, ministered hundreds of

  42. times. I got, I got AI got file

  43. cabinets full of tapes. You know what a tape is.

  44. Anybody know what a tape is? ACD, Not ACD, but a cassette,

  45. right? Hundreds of them.

  46. All right, I'm going back a little bit.

  47. And as I administered in different times on healing and

  48. different things, I, I, I came up with this basically my own

  49. quote, all right, that I wanted people to think about if they

  50. were ever struck with cancer or any other disease that could

  51. possibly take their life. I said this, if cancer ever

  52. attacks your body, you will need a reason for being here that is

  53. stronger than cancer. Now, I thought that was a great

  54. thing. Never had any idea in the world

  55. that I was going to have to put it into practice.

  56. You've heard that saying before. Practice what you preach.

  57. Well, every now and then there comes those opportunities.

  58. Now, I thought it was interesting because anything

  59. else that attaches attacks your life.

  60. It doesn't have to be cancer, but something that can take your

  61. life. You need to have a reason for

  62. being here that can overcome anything that attacks your body.

  63. All right. Now, I heard somebody say this

  64. one time. I, I, I looked to see, you know

  65. who quoted it. And I even think it was probably

  66. Smith Wigglesworth probably had a version of it.

  67. But he said, he said, if you have to get ready, you're too

  68. late. And I always remembered that.

  69. I thought, man, you know, So what is it that we have to do to

  70. get ready? You know, the worst time in the

  71. world to figure out if you've got a spare in your car is when

  72. you have a flat. You know, what's worse than that

  73. is finding out your spare has no air.

  74. But did you know a lot of Christians today treat their

  75. faith like that? You know, they get a bad report

  76. or they feel something in their body or something abnormal or

  77. whatever. And the next thing you, you hear

  78. is, honey, where's that Bible? That, that's, that's not how

  79. we're supposed to be living. It's, it's, it's not time to

  80. start a fight with no ammo. You, you've got to start from

  81. the beginning. And I began to develop myself in

  82. that. Now I want to give you a

  83. scripture that if you do not have this scripture as part of

  84. your arsenal, OK, and you have not made your mind up that this

  85. scripture is absolutely, irrevocably true, OK?

  86. I mean, it is true. You're going to struggle when it

  87. comes to healing. It is found in Exodus chapter

    Exodus 15:26

  88. 15, verse 26. And this is what God is telling

  89. them when they are, He is bringing them out of the land of

  90. Egypt. This is the children of Israel,

  91. He said and said, If you will diligently hearken to the voice

  92. of the Lord your God, and will do that which is right in his

  93. side, and will give ear to his commandments, and keep all his

  94. statutes, I will put none of these diseases the Hebrew bears

  95. out. I will allow none of these

  96. diseases to come upon you which I have brought upon the

  97. Egyptian. I want you to notice the last

  98. sentence, for I am the Lord that healeth thee.

  99. If you cannot grab a hold of that and say that is the

  100. absolute truth in my life, you're going to struggle in

  101. healing. Now the word healing there or

  102. the word healeth in the King James is the word we've all

  103. heard, Rafa. And as a matter of fact, the

  104. phrase the Lord that healeth thee is the term Jehovah Rafa.

  105. I am the Lord that healeth thee. Let me give you the definition,

  106. the word Rafa means to heal, to repair, to cure or thoroughly

  107. make whole. Now see, this is what God said

  108. that he is. Remember when Moses asked him,

  109. he said you know you, you want me to go free the people.

  110. So he's scrambling in his mind to come up a reason, said he

  111. can't do it. And one of them happens to be,

  112. well, what if they ask me your name?

  113. He said, what am I going to tell him your name is?

  114. And what did he say his name was?

  115. I am. His name is right before what he

  116. does. I am the Lord that healeth thee.

  117. And if we can't make up our minds that he's telling us the

  118. truth, we'll struggle when it comes to healing.

  119. All right, now I'm going to give you 2 other words that are going

  120. to be important so we can move forward.

  121. OK? In the New Testament is written

  122. in Greek. And the scripture that I have

  123. for you here is Matthew chapter 8.

    Matthew 8 chapter mention

  124. Two times the word mentioned is mentioned, healed and healed.

  125. But they're two different words in the man manuscript.

  126. Take a look at it if they have it.

  127. I do believe you guys got it. It says in verse 5 it says and

  128. when Jesus was come to Capernaum, there came unto him a

  129. centurion beseeching him and saying, Lord my servant lies at

  130. home sick of the palsy and grievously tormented.

  131. And Jesus said, I will come heal him.

  132. That particular word in the original language is the word

  133. therapy, O in the Greek THER APEUO.

  134. All right, THERAPEUO, and here's the definition.

  135. To heal the cure, to restore the health, or to relieve of

  136. disease. Can you hear an English word in

  137. there? How about therapy?

  138. Therapeutic. That's where we get that word.

  139. Now think about it with me. We've got some people that help

  140. us in our physical bodies, even in the room tonight, that know I

  141. understand therapy and that they will give us things to do that

  142. will help us. All right, a therapist lets you

  143. know this is what I need you to. They don't do it for you.

  144. They want you to do it. OK, now think about with me for

  145. a second. Let's just think about a little

  146. bit about Jesus ability to heal, because this word, when you see,

  147. if you put all the words of healing and health and and and

  148. healing health and and he loved in the in the King James season,

  149. you see those words healed, healing, heal and health.

  150. He said, You see those words in there 60% of the time.

  151. It is this word therapeuto. Think about Jesus healing.

  152. He sees a man in the synagogue on the Sabbath day.

  153. He always does it on the Sabbath day and it's an irritant to

  154. certain people in the crowd. But he sees a man with a

  155. withered hand and he said stretch forth your hand and he

  156. heals it. Remember that.

  157. Then he goes on and he has a guy that is blind.

  158. He spits in the dirt, make some mud and smears it on his eye.

  159. I think sometimes I my mind goes kind of like over I'm like how

  160. much spit did he have to make to get a mud glob smear?

  161. But remember what he told the guy?

  162. He said go to the pool and wash therapy.

  163. How many times did he do that? He said to the the 10 lepers,

  164. remember he said and they said you can heal us for me.

  165. And he goes OK, go show yourself to the priest.

  166. And he says as they went, how many times did he say pick up

  167. your bed and walk, take up your bed and go to the house.

  168. That is the picture of their PIO in the Bible.

  169. All right, now let's keep reading because he said the

  170. centurion answered him, said, Lord, I'm not worthy that you

  171. come under my, come under my roof, but speak the word only

  172. and my servant will be healed. You see that that's a different

  173. word in the Greek. It is the word that saved my

  174. life. And I'll explain that here in a

  175. minute. But it is the Greek word EA O my

  176. and the Greek word EAO my. Let me spell it for you.

  177. If you're taking notes, and I encourage you, if you don't

  178. usually take notes, get the phone out.

  179. All right, 'cause I'm going to give you some scriptures tonight

  180. that you're going to be able to use when you have a flat.

  181. But when you see that word healed, the Greek word EAO my is

  182. IAOMA i.e. AO my, all right, here's the

  183. translation. Translation to cure, to mend, to

  184. recover, to restore. So when we take a look at these

  185. words, it didn't have any definition in there that said

  186. put up with be patient. All right, so we can finish

  187. that. We can, we, we can, we can

  188. finish this story out knowing that Jesus was amazed at this

  189. guy's faith, totally amazed at his faith.

  190. He marvelled, he said I have not seen so great a faith.

  191. No, not in Israel with this guy. He was a heathen.

  192. He had no covenant. He was from Rome, and yet Jesus

  193. said he had more faith than all of them, He said in Israel.

  194. Does anybody believe that Jesus was an exaggerator?

  195. Jesus told the truth. And when he said that, there's

  196. nobody in Israel that had the kind of faith that this guy had.

  197. And what was that faith? And we're going to talk about

  198. faith briefly tonight, all right?

  199. And how important it is to understand how to use it to see

  200. God move on our lives in their arena of healing.

  201. Pastor Marcy mentioned one of my favorite scriptures.

  202. OK, just in, in all the scriptures that she listed, you

  203. need to jot this down. When I teach healing in Kingdom

  204. Institute, I have a a week that I teach scriptures that must

  205. become part of your life. OK, They must be.

  206. And if not for you, somebody that's going to need them.

  207. Psalms 107 verse 20. Listen to this.

    Psalms 107:20

  208. She read it to us many times. In this time it says Psalms one

  209. O 7 one O 720. Guys, do we have it?

  210. There we go. Look at it.

  211. He said His word and healed them and delivered them from their

  212. destructions. This is my #1 scripture.

  213. Because if you're going to get healing in your body, you need

  214. to know what was sent to give it to you.

  215. He sent His word and healed them.

  216. You know what I didn't find is that He sent the best doctors in

  217. the world to heal you. Now listen, you want to talk

  218. about doctors? I can promise you, I have been

  219. before more doctors than this entire crowd.

  220. Oh, yeah? Oh oh, Now Jesus wasn't an

  221. exaggerator and I'm trying not to be either, OK.

  222. But when I got the revelation that He sent His word and healed

  223. me and delivered me from all my destructions, a light went off.

  224. And that light basically told me that I might need to get to know

  225. His word when it came to His will on keeping me.

  226. Well, right. March 11th.

  227. Anybody know what day that is? That's a special day in all of

  228. our lives. Pastor Earl's birthday, 2006,

  229. Melanie. And I'd come home and, you know,

  230. just an evening. I remember where we went to eat

  231. his hamburger, had a hamburger. We were just kind of sitting

  232. there reclining on the bed. We were watching Andy Griffith.

  233. Anybody know Andy? This particular episode was

  234. about Aunt Bee's Pickles and how they tasted like kerosene.

  235. And we're watching them and we're waiting for the boys to

  236. come home. They went and they were doing

  237. their thing and, and we knew they'd be coming home pretty

  238. soon. It wasn't very late.

  239. Melanie looked over at me. She goes, I feel like I'm going

  240. to pass out. Well, I got to thinking, well,

  241. you're laying on the bed, you know, I mean, you're not going

  242. to fall anywhere. Thought it was weird.

  243. So pass on out, you know? All of a sudden she began to

  244. have difficulty breathing. Her eyes locked wide open and

  245. she began to, as the best I can describe it, began to swell

  246. before my eyes. Now fun and games is over.

  247. Andy Griffith and all that don't matter.

  248. Something has hit our house. She was struggling to breathe

  249. and the only thing I knew to jump into action was I.

  250. I had a scripture come to me in Romans chapter 8.

    Romans 8 chapter mention

  251. When I was sitting there just looking at her, I just, I could

  252. not believe what I was seeing. And in Romans 826 it says like

  253. why? The Spirit himself helps our

  254. infirmities for we know not what we should pray for as we ought,

  255. but the Spirit itself makes intercession for us with

  256. groanings that cannot be uttered.

  257. I remember I looked at her and I put my hands on her so fast and

  258. I begin to pray in other tongues and as I I I continue to pray

  259. that you know, the Lord reminded me of this verse because you

  260. know, I've become a student of the word to know what Jesus and

  261. the Holy Spirit was meaning when they gave us the words.

  262. The word helpeth. There is the word that means a

  263. partnership between you and the Holy Spirit that you come

  264. against something to move it out of the way.

  265. It's about this long in the original language, but then the

  266. next word and you got to get an understanding.

  267. This scripture in context is talking about sickness in your

  268. body because they said the Spirit Himself helps our

  269. infirmities. That word infirmities is the

  270. generic word in the Greek for sickness.

  271. And so I knew something is up. I put my hands on her and I just

  272. began to pray in tongues. I probably didn't pray more than

  273. 15 seconds, Just pray it. I got on the phone 911.

  274. The dispatcher was telling me, tell me what's it, what are you

  275. seeing? What's going on?

  276. I said it, it seems like she's swelling, that her tongue is

  277. swelling. She's having such a hard time

  278. breathing. I can't even I, I don't even

  279. know what's going on. I have no idea what's going on.

  280. She said, just watch, get something and make sure that you

  281. keep her airway open. And, and I said her eyes are

  282. locked open and, and I, I don't know, I don't know what's going

  283. on. She said, just hang on, they're

  284. coming. Well, I knew it was going to

  285. take them a minute or two to find us because we lived in the

  286. country. And as a matter of fact, I heard

  287. the ambulance go by two or three times and before they finally

  288. made it. But as we're, I'm on the phone

  289. with her and and I'm on the phone with her.

  290. And all of a sudden Melanie began to blink and I thought she

  291. she's back and, and I started asking her questions.

  292. I said, honey, can you hear me? And she goes, yes, she goes, but

  293. my head, it's my head. And I said, can you feel me

  294. touching your arms? And she said yes, but my head.

  295. And I said, can you feel me touching your legs?

  296. And she goes, no. And she goes and I can't see

  297. you. So we finally get the ambulance

  298. there. We get her loaded up.

  299. We get her to the hospital. The next morning they show me an

  300. MRI that she had had an aneurysm rupture behind her right eye on

  301. the main artery. I am praying in tongues.

  302. She is in ICU, and I'm in there praying in tongues.

  303. And I didn't quit praying in tongues.

  304. And, you know, we had people from the church wanting to come

  305. by and visit, you know, and the only ones that I would let in

  306. there were the ones that I knew how to pray in other tongues.

  307. Nobody got in except one person and that was her Mama.

  308. And I looked her in the eye and I said, I don't want you to say

  309. a word. I don't want you crying.

  310. I don't want you in there, you know, and, and having any

  311. remorse or anything, any, you know, thoughts.

  312. I said, you just go in there, you sit in there, you be quiet.

  313. And then and then when your turn is over, you come out.

  314. And I'd let nobody in there that did not have faith.

  315. All right, because this serious now, I mean, we never had

  316. nothing like this in our lives happened.

  317. Not not anything like that. All right.

  318. So as we we continued through this, this particular time, you

  319. know, I walked back to my office that next morning because they

  320. were doing a changing of the nurses station, walked to the

  321. office and it was that we were close enough.

  322. My office was real close to the hospital.

  323. It was just several blocks away, but not that far. 7:00 in the

  324. morning, I get a phone call from a friend of mine and he said,

  325. Randy, we heard what happened to Melanie last night.

  326. You know, if it was me, I'd take my wife to the Mayo Clinic.

  327. And I said, well, bro, couple things.

  328. You haven't seen Melanie. And she is wired up like nothing

  329. I've ever seen. Got tubes and everything in her.

  330. And I said, 1, I don't even know where the Mayo Clinic is and #2

  331. how would I get her there if I could?

  332. And he says, well, listen, there's a lady in my office that

  333. had an aneurysm. Call her.

  334. She's waiting on your call now. I called her, I'm praying in

  335. tongues. I tell you, all night long, I

  336. prayed in tongues. All, all, all the morning

  337. walking to the I'm praying in tongues, I'm praying in tongues,

  338. I'm praying in tongues. Why?

  339. Because it is the Holy Spirit when you don't know how to pray

  340. as you ought, it is the lifeline that you have to heaven to be

  341. able to give to you the wisdom you're going to need.

  342. And I told him, I said, I've got to lay down.

  343. I said, I cannot be making decisions that impact her life,

  344. even maybe to death without the rest and the different things.

  345. And I was just praying for the Holy Spirit to just give me that

  346. supernatural rest and ability to make decisions.

  347. But I made the phone call. The lady said, Randy, tell me

  348. about your wife. I said she had a ruptured brain

  349. aneurysm. It is a miracle she did not

  350. bleed out. And I said, and she said, well,

  351. listen, they she said, what are they saying that they need to

  352. do? And I said, well, there's nobody

  353. at this hospital can help her. They're thinking they're moving

  354. her to Dallas, TX. And they said they said the same

  355. thing about me. And I told them, why do you want

  356. to send me to Dallas, TX? Because they have teams there

  357. that can work. And she said I didn't want to go

  358. to Dallas, TX. I told her, if I'm going to get

  359. with the team, I'm going to the Mayo Clinic.

  360. And she said and, and I said, OK, so you know what happened?

  361. She said, well, they told me that I wouldn't be getting in

  362. there for six weeks. And she said, but the deal is my

  363. my aneurysm. They caught it before it

  364. ruptured. She goes, Randy, I got in there

  365. in six days. And she says, call this number

  366. and see if you can get her in. And I, you know, I don't know

  367. nothing, but the Holy Spirit knows everything.

  368. I mean, you know what in the world?

  369. I make a phone call and they said, oh, that surgeon's in the

  370. office, would you like to talk to him?

  371. Well, yes, I would. He gets on the phone.

  372. He said, Mr. Clay, he said, tell me about your wife.

  373. And I said, that's all I know. I said that's what they told me.

  374. I seen the pictures. It was, you know, pretty

  375. serious. And and, you know, she can't see

  376. her, her her legs were gone, you know, not able to use those.

  377. I don't know what you know, she's not conscious enough to to

  378. tell us anything. And he said you just don't go

  379. tell the nurses station. We'll take her today.

  380. OK. That's great.

  381. How am I going to get her there? Where are you, by the way?

  382. Oh. Oh, we're in Rochester, MN.

  383. Well, you know, it was kind of like a movie slow MO, you know,

  384. they, they do slow MO for effect, right.

  385. So coming down the hall is 2 people in flight suits, nurses

  386. and, and it was kind of funny because when the doctor came, he

  387. goes, your wife's going to the Mayo, your wife's going to the

  388. Mayo. The doctor, the surgeon, they

  389. couldn't do anything. And he's telling all the girls

  390. are buzzing around in the in the the nurses department up there

  391. in ICU and they go, she's going to the Mayo, she's going to the

  392. Mayo. And I'm sitting there going,

  393. yeah, I know. I didn't know I'm I'm going with

  394. her. You got that?

  395. So we get on a Learjet and we are flying in the middle of the

  396. night heading up there. And I could, I, I was looking

  397. out the window and I couldn't figure out, I said, why is

  398. everything all the same color is pitch black dark and, and I

  399. could very well come to find out we're flying in in a snowstorm

  400. and we didn't know it. So when we landed, we kind of

  401. landed and slid for quite a while.

  402. I am like, you know, I'm, I'm watching this plane and I'm

  403. feeling it as we're on the ground.

  404. We get to the hospital and they said we didn't think you guys

  405. were going to make it me either. And they said, they said they

  406. shut the airport down an hour ago.

  407. That's obvious because whatever they were using to, you know,

  408. clean off the runway, somebody wasn't there.

  409. And we got in, by the time that we got there, Melanie had got

  410. her eyesight back. And listen, I'm praying in

  411. tongues in the back of that plane by myself.

  412. I'm just praying in the Spirit. By the time we got in there to

  413. have the ER look her over, she got her legs back, she got her

  414. eyes back, and she was communicating with them.

  415. And I just keep praying in tongues.

  416. All right, now, I'd already done the research during the day and,

  417. and on that plane on what kind of procedure they were hoping to

  418. give. And there was only one procedure

  419. that I began to pray for, and it was called a coiling.

  420. All right, now those of you know what I'm talking about.

  421. If you don't know what an aneurysm is, you've got an

  422. artery. All of a sudden the artery

  423. develops a little spot on it and begins to expand.

  424. It expands too much, it ruptures, and you can't get in

  425. there quick enough to stop the bleeding.

  426. And most people pass away. All right, I believe that her

  427. aneurysm stopped when I laid my hands on her.

  428. OK, now they were surprised because it was a pretty good

  429. size aneurysm, they said. But they have a procedure now.

  430. Listen, I don't know who the first person was that they tried

  431. this song, but I felt pretty confident after talking to this

  432. surgeon that he was going to be able to pull this off.

  433. But where they start is it on the inside of your leg and they

  434. run a wire, platinum wire thread up through your artery system

  435. and goes up into the brain, begins to coil it or put it.

  436. And it looked like to me a ball of string inside the aneurysm

  437. somehow burn it off and then it grows, the artery grows around

  438. it and makes a scar tissue. You never have another problem.

  439. Now remember what year I said this was 2006.

  440. Stand up baby. Every doctor that has ever

  441. looked at her after the fact says you can't even tell it.

  442. Now, what's the name of this? It didn't say made halfway whole

  443. every time Jesus said he wanted them whole.

  444. That was the original plan. You know, I let them know when

  445. we were up there. I said, you know, I really

  446. appreciate you guys because the Mayo Clinic is like, I mean,

  447. they are second to none, all right.

  448. And just the way they treat their patients, the way that

  449. they, they work with each other, all the different things.

  450. They're an educational hospital and they said, you know, the,

  451. the thing that they were amazed of is it with the fact that she

  452. did not just bleed out. She said, we have it.

  453. We have it all the time, but hers didn't.

  454. I said, I, I, I think we got an edge because see, I'd let them

  455. know. I said, you guys are great

  456. service providers. All right.

  457. It's kind of like, you know, you got a car and and you know, it's

  458. getting up in age a little bit and something goes wrong with

  459. it. Is Macy in here tonight?

  460. Oh, she's serving. OK.

  461. All right. Well, she knows what I'm talking

  462. about. OK.

  463. And you have And you go to a mechanic to try to fix this,

  464. Right. But then if they can't fix it,

  465. what do they tell you you're going to need to do?

  466. Go back to the dealership, Right.

  467. Every now and then, we need to go back to the manufacturer.

  468. I told him. I said, you guys are great

  469. service providers, but I'm glad I don't have to stop here that

  470. if I need to, I can go all the way to the manufacture of the

  471. human body. And when we're praying in

  472. tongues and we're doing that, I think it, it's just it's, it's

  473. so interesting to me that that we have him available to US 24/7

  474. and that he'll now they told me, they told me they said it's

  475. going to be a 21 day event for you.

  476. OK. And I thought, oh man, you know,

  477. what am I going to do? I mean, wow, the business, the

  478. boys, the everything, you know, I mean, OK, Lord, we got to go

  479. and and when we were going up there after that surgery, they

  480. did not have to. It was not invasive as far as

  481. you know, because other types they actually have to go in

  482. through the skull and the different things to go in there

  483. to fix those things with her. They did not.

  484. And that's what I prayed for. I was in the reflection room

  485. praying in the spirit and and they hadn't made a decision they

  486. were going to be able to do it yet.

  487. I said, Father, I said please let her be a candidate for

  488. coiling that there's no intrusion.

  489. There's nothing other than that they can get this done.

  490. And I just begin to pray in the spirit, pray in the Spirit, pray

  491. in the spirit. I get a phone call from the

  492. doctor and he says, he said, hey, Mr. Clay, we are in there.

  493. We're taking a look. We're going to go ahead and coil

  494. that I'll, I'll see you in about an hour.

  495. Click. I had questions because I'd read

  496. the pamphlet. The pamphlet said that they may

  497. stroke in the surgery and we won't know it until she comes

  498. back too. So she could lose one side, the

  499. other side, you know, she could go totally blind when they got

  500. back up in there, you know, the whole bit.

  501. So I sat and wait and he comes up.

  502. He said it was a total success. I thank the Lord.

  503. OK. Then he said.

  504. He said, you know, she'll be in recovery about an hour.

  505. And I marked my watch. 20 minutes later, the nurse comes

  506. in and says your wife would like to see you.

  507. Are you sure it's my wife? Because the doctor told me 20

  508. minutes ago she'd be about an hour.

  509. No, she's back in her room. OK.

  510. I go back in there. She's in ICU, and she stops me

  511. at the door. The doctor stops.

  512. I mean, the nurse drops me at the door and said, Missus Clay,

  513. how many fingers am I holding up?

  514. She goes 2. How many now?

  515. Five, you know, and they did what I call neurological

  516. aerobics. They said push down with your

  517. hand, push up with your hands and you're getting everything,

  518. legs, arms, eyes, perfect. And so, you know, when we we

  519. talk about, you know, can God do it?

  520. Yes, he can, whatever it is. I mean, he's the manufacturer.

  521. Anybody ever bought a weed eater?

  522. And how bad and how sad would it be if you bought a weed eater

  523. and the manufacturer couldn't fix it?

  524. I mean, that that's a poor manufacturer.

  525. There is nothing in the human body that God did not design and

  526. has an answer to fix it. Did you hear me?

  527. It's kind of like pastors, you hearing what I'm saying All

  528. right, nothing. There's nothing in your body

  529. that he can't repair. And so you know when last week

  530. we had prayer line and can I get just give you some help with

  531. prayer lines because I've learned a tremendous amount

  532. about prayer lines. OK, that the purpose of a prayer

  533. line is to allow the person that is doing the praying, such as

  534. Pastor Marcy last week, to attach their faith to your faith

  535. in obedience to what Jesus said he would do in that situation.

  536. Got a scripture? Matthew chapter 18, verse 19 And

    Matthew 18:19

  537. again I say unto you, Now that's interesting.

  538. That must mean Jesus must have said this before, because he did

  539. it again, right? That's what it said.

  540. And he said unto them, he said, I again I say unto you, that if

  541. 2 of you shall agree on earth as touching anything that they

  542. shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father, which is in

  543. heaven. The word touching is the word

  544. concerning, OK, if 2 of you will, if 2 of you shall

  545. concerning anything on earth, I'm sorry, agree on earth as

  546. concerning anything that they ask, it will be done there for

  547. them and my father, OK. That is a scripture you need to

  548. believe when you come down for a prayer line, you need to be

  549. thinking about you and that other person coming into

  550. agreement at that moment to be able all right to receive what

  551. they have. They are going to be pronouncing

  552. over your body. Now, Lovett, last week, Pastor

  553. Marcy took the time to find out what's Aylandy.

  554. All right, now when we when we talk about that, here's the

  555. deal. Sometimes we know when the

  556. prayer lines are coming just like we did.

  557. This one was coming. Did she not tell us?

  558. We knew it was coming? OK.

  559. Sometimes it by the move of the Spirit.

  560. We have people that'll come up here and say we're going to do

  561. here a healing line and we didn't, we didn't know about it.

  562. So everybody flocks down, they come down.

  563. But here's the thing. What are you thinking about when

  564. you go down to that prayer line? If you got other things on your

  565. mind other than the scriptures of God, you are distracted.

  566. All right. I mean, that was one of, you

  567. know, one of the things that I, I, I learned, I said, what are

  568. people thinking about? You know, and here's the thing,

  569. we have some people when they have hands laid on, they fall

  570. out. They fall out.

  571. OK, but here's the deal. Don't be sitting there thinking,

  572. oh, they just fell out. I wonder if I'm going to fall

  573. out. What happens if I don't fall

  574. out? If you fall out, you're going to

  575. fall out. But don't be thinking about

  576. falling out. OK?

  577. What are you supposed to be thinking about?

  578. Does anybody remember Bishop Garraway coming?

  579. And, you know, one of the things he said that I, I, I remember of

  580. all the things that he said in three days, one thing that he

  581. said, he said some people come to the healing line and can't

  582. even quote 10 scriptures on healing.

  583. You are coming to an healing line on an empty tank.

  584. OK, So you need to make sure that you have got those

  585. particular things because you are coming really before the

  586. court of heaven making a request and somebody is going to agree

  587. with you by the laying on hand, laying on the hands and that

  588. they're going to be able to pray with you in faith.

  589. We don't lay hands on people just because that's the thing we

  590. feel we ought to do. Everybody individually that

  591. comes up here, you have a need. But here's the thing, and this

  592. is what I've noticed a lot of people.

  593. Is that the worst and the most dangerous thought that'll try to

  594. enter your mind after you've been afraid for and you don't

  595. notice a change? As you say to yourself, I guess

  596. I didn't get it. I want to tell you where that

  597. thought came from. It wasn't from the word of God.

  598. It was the devil. It came from the pit of hell.

  599. He's trying to get you to doubt what His word says, what the

  600. Lord's Word says. Think about those words that I

  601. gave you just a minute ago, EAO my, to cure, to mend, to

  602. restore, to recover. When you think about those

  603. words, that lets me know that in some cases, EAO my can be a

  604. process. So when do you want to make up

  605. your mind the process begins? I think the saddening thing is

  606. the precious believers going from prayer line to prayer line

  607. to prayer line to prayer line and never get in their healing.

  608. I know why. It's because you violated

  609. scripture. James, chapter 1, verses 6

    James 1:6–8

  610. through 8. Verse 6 But let him ask in faith

  611. nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a

  612. wave of the sea, driven with the wind and tossed.

  613. For let not that man think he shall receive anything from the

  614. Lord. A double minded man is unstable

  615. in all his ways. Did you, did you realize that's

  616. the Bible? Did you know the Bible's true

  617. and when he tells you that in there, he said for do not let

  618. that man think he shall receive anything of the Lord, that

  619. you're not going to receive anything from the Lord If you're

  620. not asking in faith and you're doubting.

  621. That's the key. Doubting will get you to a start

  622. over point. And that's why even in my own

  623. life, and I'll tell you just bits about it here in a minute,

  624. but I let pastor know that when the time came for me to go to

  625. healing line, I let him know I said, yes, I move when we moved

  626. down here and and and and I'll explain all that in a second.

  627. But my thought on healing line is this.

  628. If I have hands laid on me and I am in faith and I turn around

  629. and leave and I don't feel anything in my body, OK, I have

  630. to make a decision. Did I really get it or is my

  631. body just telling me something different?

  632. So I have to make up my mind. Am I going to believe what the

  633. word says or I'm going to believe what my body says?

  634. You, you've got to come to that place if you want to see the

  635. results that you're looking for. You know, people say, well, you

  636. know, you mean I, I shouldn't go.

  637. I said, listen, if you believe that you got it all right when

  638. you prayed. The question I have to ask is

  639. why would you need to go to another prayer line for the same

  640. thing? And, and, and Scripture, you

  641. know, scripture bears that out as far as let's talk about this

  642. for a second. Mark 1124, guys, I don't know if

  643. I put that up or not. Mark 11/24.

  644. I got a quote. I I got it.

  645. Oh, there you go. Awesome.

  646. Look at this, this is on the heels of Jesus cursing the fig

  647. tree. Remember story he was hungry,

  648. saw a fig tree far off. He went over there.

  649. There was no fig figs on it. He said no man will eat fruit of

  650. you hereafter forever. And it said and the disciples

  651. heard it. Next day they come by Peter

  652. who's always first to notice things concerning the Kingdom of

  653. God says, master, look at the tree that you cursed yesterday.

  654. It is dried up from the roots. Jesus says in verse 21, verse

  655. 22, he says have faith in God. Better translation in the Greek

  656. is have the God kind of faith and he begins to tell us what

  657. the God kind of faith is. He said, he said, whosoever

  658. shall say to this mountain, be thou removed, be cast into the

  659. sea, and shall not doubt in his heart, but believe that those

  660. things that he says shall come to pass.

  661. He'll have whatsoever he says. Verse 24 Therefore I say unto

  662. you that whatsoever things you desire when you pray, believe

  663. that you receive them and you shall have them.

  664. Listen to this again. Therefore I say unto you, what

  665. things soever you desire, when you pray, believe that you

  666. receive them and you shall have them.

  667. Every time I teach this Scripture, I ask one question

  668. according to this verse, What did Jesus say you would have?

  669. And you can tell me, Yell it out.

  670. Somebody said what you desire. OK, you know what you pray for

  671. Makes sense? Not the answer.

  672. Listen to it again. Therefore I say unto you, What

  673. thing so ever you desire when you pray, believe that you

  674. receive them, and you shall have them.

  675. The only thing that you are going to receive from God when

  676. you pray is what you believed you received at the time you

  677. asked. Did you hear me?

  678. The only thing that you will receive is what you believed you

  679. received at the time of your asking.

  680. So what does he tell us in the previous verse before that He

  681. said, don't doubt in your heart, but believe that those things

  682. that you say shall come to pass. Therefore I say to you, what

  683. things so ever you desire when you pray, believe you receive it

  684. when when you pray. And he said, and you will have

  685. that didn't say you'd have your thoughts of well, I guess I

  686. didn't get anything all right back in 2010.

  687. It starts a little earlier than that really 2007, you know, we

  688. were in Oklahoma and I had an opportunity and I took that

  689. opportunity and taught me, taught me a great lesson.

  690. I had the opportunity to become offended, and I took that

  691. opportunity and I dwelt on that opportunity.

  692. And all of a sudden, within just a few months, I noticed a growth

  693. beginning to appear in my body. I went to the doctor.

  694. The doctor says that's cancer, We can remove it, thought about

  695. it, even prayed about it. I said, no, I've been, you know,

  696. teaching on healing for 15 years.

  697. I said, I believe the Lord is going to heal me, and I passed

  698. on surgery. Well, in the midst of that, we

  699. get to 2008 and we come down here for an anniversary service

  700. and, you know, still got the cancer, really didn't, you know,

  701. bother me much and got down here and the Lord start dealing with

  702. me about moving here. Well, it's funny because

  703. Thanksgiving of 2007, Black Friday, as a matter of fact, I

  704. spent the time with the Lord and I usually do that just to hear

  705. what I'm missing for the year and what I need to make up

  706. before the end of the year and we start a new year.

  707. And the Lord spoke to me. He said, Randy, you're not

  708. Kingdom minded enough. I thought, OK, what does that

  709. mean? You know, and he said, but I

  710. want to prepare you because I'm going to increase your teaching

  711. ministry. I said, OK, what does that mean?

  712. All right, so you know, we get here, you know, for anniversary

  713. service, April of 2008 and still carrying the cancer.

  714. Lord says, I need you down here. And I said, I'm looking behind

  715. me to see if he's talking to somebody else.

  716. I said, you got to be kidding me, man.

  717. Do you know what I have going on?

  718. Lord? You want me to move everything?

  719. I mean, come on. Well, Needless to say, we wound

  720. up in here a year later. And I think it's interesting

  721. because I didn't deal with the offense and the cancer kept

  722. growing. But I'm confessing every day.

  723. Thank you, Jesus, I'm healed. This cancer can't live in my

  724. body. It can't live in my body.

  725. You know what? I want to warn you that you

  726. know, when we do communion here, pastor will warn us about you

  727. know, taking it quote as the scripture tells us unworthily

  728. all right, that you will bring condemnation on yourself and it

  729. goes on to say it says and because of this, many have are

  730. sick among you and many have died early.

  731. So he lets us know how important it is to be right when you come

  732. to him at communion. Let me tell you, the same thing

  733. comes in the realm of healing. You got to be right.

  734. OK? I wasn't right.

  735. Still had the offense. OK.

  736. So the offense kept growing. You know, just how bad it was

  737. and how they treated me. And I couldn't believe it.

  738. And the cancer kept growing. I get to 2010 OK pastor comes

  739. out to the house. I had gained 60 lbs in just

  740. water in my legs. Rest of me from here up look

  741. great but I was just like sweatpants were the thing of the

  742. future because I could not get in regular pants.

  743. Had many, many people tell my wife, I think your husband is

  744. dying, honey, I can't be dying. I'm I'm believing God.

  745. I can't, I can't be dying. I'm believing God.

  746. One day pastor brings a whole staff out to the house.

  747. Mike, remember this pastor, Mr. Berry, y'all came out to my

  748. house. I'm sitting there in a recliner

  749. in my office and y'all got all these chairs in here.

  750. How you doing? Da da da da da.

  751. Pastor asked a question. If it wasn't for this question,

  752. I would not be here today, guaranteed.

  753. He said, Randy, he said we've done everything that the word

  754. said to do. All of a sudden stuff start

  755. coming back to me. And he said we've done

  756. everything we have. We have, we have prayed for you.

  757. We have anointed you with oil. We have called the elders of the

  758. church to come pray for you. And you're not getting any

  759. better. Is there anything that you can

  760. think of as keeping that from happening?

  761. And in so many words, I said, yeah, I'm offended.

  762. I was offended. Somebody offended me greatly

  763. before I moved down here, you know, and I named that person

  764. and everybody in the room knew who that was.

  765. And Pastor, I'll never forget. He goes, don't you think we need

  766. to get that taken care of? I said yes.

  767. Every head bowed, every eye closed, and I've repented.

  768. I prayed. I asked the Lord to forgive me,

  769. violating his word. You know one of his words says

  770. this, it's right after that one scripture I just gave you.

  771. Therefore I say unto you that you know whatsoever you things

  772. you believe you receive, you'll have OK.

  773. The next scripture says this. And when you stand praying,

  774. forgive, if you have ought against any, that your Father

  775. also in heaven may forgive you of your trespasses, you better

  776. forgive them in theirs, because if you don't forgive them their

  777. trespasses, he's not going to forgive you of your trespasses.

  778. So you know what that revelation got to me?

  779. All you can confess, all you want to confess you can quote

  780. every scripture you want to quote.

  781. You can go in every prayer line that comes and lay hands on you

  782. until you are bald headed and you will not get healed 'cause

  783. you can't be in violation of the word of God when he comes in and

  784. and he has the desire to heal you.

  785. Finally the day came, I was hurting so bad, excruciating in

  786. the middle of my back. I'd be up at night 2-3 in the

  787. morning, hot shower trying to get some comfort.

  788. Could not find any comfort. One day Melanie said that's it,

  789. said I'm not I can't take it anymore, I can't take and seeing

  790. you in this kind of pain. So guess where we wound up?

  791. The Mayo Clinic. Seems I've been here before but

  792. it wasn't that one it was this one here in in Florida after a

  793. night in ER and a chewing out by a nurse.

  794. I didn't know her from nobody. She come in there and started

  795. yelling at me. I wasn't in the mood to be

  796. yelled at to be honest with you. But the diagnosis was the cancer

  797. in metastasized is now stage 4. It had eaten the T3 in the

  798. middle of my back. The cancer completely eaten the

  799. front of that vertebrae out. That's where the pain was coming

  800. from. It fractured two or three others

  801. below that, and yes, we have begun.

  802. OK, well, I knew what to do. I didn't watch TVI was in there

  803. six weeks. I didn't watch television.

  804. I just meditated the Word, Meditated the Word, meditated

  805. the word. I knew I'd given God something

  806. to work with because He had forgiven me for being a fool and

  807. having an offense that should have never had.

  808. All right, So now I figured that, you know, we're going to

  809. get this right and we're going to, we are going to start

  810. making, you know, Scripture part of the life that I needed to,

  811. you know, have and combat this and go back to that.

  812. Now I think it's interesting because even though, you know, I

  813. was in there for six weeks, I started chemotherapy and the

  814. chemotherapy basically they said, OK, we're going to give

  815. you 5 days of chemotherapy. We're going to do it by the

  816. artery in your arm, your vein in your arm and, and you're going

  817. to go 5 days and then we're going to give you, you know, 17

  818. days off. OK, well, I did so good in the

  819. first cycle. They said we're going to do it

  820. again immediately. What happened to vacation?

  821. I'm thinking I went through 4 cycles of that.

  822. All right, now this is what I did and I want to encourage you

  823. because remember I said you get 10 scriptures, all right?

  824. Can you get 10 scriptures that you can work with?

  825. Especially when you're in a prayer line.

  826. Don't be thinking about what is going on.

  827. Think about Father, I'm coming to you and I am bringing Your

  828. Word and I'm going to reason with you and You're going to

  829. heal me because of Your Word. So when we got home, I started

  830. with this verse, Proverbs 422. It's not up there.

  831. Listen carefully because I want you to take these down My son,

  832. attend to My words and give ears to My sayings.

  833. Let them not depart from thine eyes.

  834. Keep them in the midst of thine heart, for they are live to

  835. those that find them in health to all their flesh.

  836. I took that verse and I wrote it out on an 8 1/2 by 11 piece of

  837. cardstock and hung it on the mirror on the dresser in the

  838. bedroom. OK Scripture, listen to what he

  839. said. Listen to my words.

  840. Incline your ear to my sayings. Let them not depart from your

  841. eyes. That's key.

  842. How do you not let the word depart from your eyes?

  843. Is that the only way that you can do that?

  844. It is got to surround you. So I began writing all these

  845. scriptures, the ones I'm give you plus hundreds more, and

  846. putting them up everywhere in my bedroom, my bathroom, my office,

  847. on on the closet doors line in the closet doors, anywhere that

  848. I could get it. Because the first thing I wanted

  849. to see when I woke up was the word of God.

  850. The last thing I want to see before I went to bed was the

  851. word of God. Because what did he say?

  852. He sent his word to heal you. OK so you got to get serious

  853. about your word intake. I love this verse 22 in Proverbs

  854. chapter 420 through 22. Jot this one down.

  855. This is what I just gave you verse 20 said for they are live

  856. to those that find them what his words and health to all their

  857. flesh. The word health there is

  858. translated in the Hebrew Medicine.

  859. Medicine. Was everybody strung out on

  860. medicine? I mean, we got commercials now

  861. about medicines that crack me up because the side effects are

  862. worse than what I originally had.

  863. You got the gut ache, you got diarrhea, you got bad.

  864. I wasn't that bad before the medicine showed up.

  865. Think about it. But he said the word of God can

  866. be medicine to your flesh. Deuteronomy 715.

  867. We're going to go through these quickly, OK, All right.

  868. Deuteronomy 715 And the Lord will take away from the all

  869. sickness, and we'll put none of these diseases of Egypt, which

  870. you know upon you, but He will lay them upon those that hate

  871. you. God don't hate you, He loves

  872. you, but He says He will take away from you the diseases.

  873. Now the next thing that I did, in addition to putting all these

  874. scriptures, and I'm going to continue giving, I only got a

  875. dozen of them I'm going to give you is that I had a dear friend.

  876. I love her, love her still. She's sitting right over there.

  877. Miss Elizabeth, She took ACD from Kenneth E Hagin, called

  878. Healing Scriptures. Healing scriptures.

  879. I had asked her. I said, can you type?

  880. Yeah, she can type like most adult female women.

  881. And she said, yeah, I can type. I said, would you take this and

  882. convert this into print? For me, it was page after page

  883. after page. I put it in a notebook.

  884. Thanks, Elizabeth. You saved my life.

  885. And I don't know. We talked about it.

  886. I said, did you cut and paste? I mean, that have been easier.

  887. And if she didn't, man, that was a lot of typing because there's

  888. hundreds, hundreds of scriptures that Kenneth Hagin had.

  889. I'd either listen to those C DS every day at night going to

  890. sleep. But if I felt I could read, I

  891. read those scriptures every night, page after page after

  892. page. My wife is my witness Page after

  893. page just reading the healing scriptures.

  894. Didn't watch TV. It's life and death.

  895. OK Psalms one O 3 verse 3 Write it down.

  896. Talks about the benefits of being with God.

  897. He said Who forgives all thine iniquities and heals all thy

  898. diseases. Psalms 130 verse 2 Jot it down.

    Psalms 130:2

  899. O Lord my God, I cried unto you, and you healed me.

  900. Psalms, 3419. Many are the afflictions of the

  901. righteous, but the Lord delivers them out of them all.

  902. Isaiah 54, Four and five. Surely he has borne our griefs

  903. and carried our sorrows. Yet we did a stream, steam him

  904. stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

  905. But he was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised

  906. for our iniquities, and the chastisement of our peace was

  907. upon him, and with his stripes we are healed.

  908. Jeremiah 3017 jotted down. For I will restore health to

  909. you, and I will heal you of your wounds, says the Lord.

  910. Jeremiah 33. Six.

  911. Behold, I will bring health and a cure.

  912. I will cure them, and reveal unto them the abundance of peace

  913. and truth. Matthew 817.

  914. That it might be fulfilled which was spoken to Isaiah.

  915. The prophet himself took our infirmities, and bore our

  916. sicknesses first. John 5. 1415 And this is the

  917. confidence that we have in Him. If we ask anything according to

  918. His will, He hears us. And if we know He hears us

  919. whatsoever we ask, we know that He we have the petitions that we

  920. desire of Him. 3rd John verse 2. Jot it down, beloved.

  921. I wish above all things that you may prosper and be in health

  922. even as your soul prospers. OK, wrap this up.

  923. Just want to let you know what the Lord did for me, OK?

  924. After all the chemo, went back to the doctor's.

  925. The doctor said nothing has changed.

  926. In fact, on your tumor markers and everything, you've gotten

  927. worse. All of a sudden there was a

  928. knock on the door. Man came in, introduced himself

  929. to the end as the end of life. Counselor Melanie freaked out a

  930. little bit. He gave me his card.

  931. I said I appreciate the card. I don't know that I'll be

  932. needing to see you anytime soon. You know, everybody's shaking

  933. their heads. Poor guy.

  934. He's in denial. You know, I'm at that time I was

  935. in a wheelchair. I had a body brace on from the

  936. waist up because of my back. We're she's pushing me down the

  937. hall. I can hear her crying.

  938. I said, honey, what are you crying about?

  939. She said that was the worst report we gotten since we've

  940. been here. I said yeah, I know, I said, but

  941. let me tell you how it's going to go.

  942. And I quoted because it was in me Psalms 1/18/17.

  943. I said I will not die but live and I will declare the works of

  944. the Lord. I said, honey, all we have to do

  945. is come back to every appointment until their report

  946. lines up with our report. Amen.

  947. And that's what we did. I went back, you know, they

  948. decided that they could do, they wanted to try surgery.

  949. They wanted to try surgery. So they took the source tumor,

  950. finally took it out. They didn't want to do it in the

  951. beginning because I was so swollen.

  952. They didn't know what that was going to do.

  953. They took the tumor out. It was right after Christmas

  954. 2010, the 29th of Christmas, they called me and said Randy

  955. had to call you. Yeah, I guess you did, doc.

  956. I said it's, it's it's 9 O clock and I said, miss your cell

  957. phone. He said, yeah, it is.

  958. I had to call you. He said pathology came back and

  959. gave us a report on that tumor and said there's no living

  960. cancer in there. And he said, I want to let you

  961. know chemotherapy, don't do that.

  962. He said, we don't know what's happened.

  963. And I said, well, what about the other two tumors, the one in my

  964. back? And I had one between my

  965. kidneys. It was causing me problems.

  966. He said we'll do a PET scan next week and see.

  967. He came back and told me after the PET scan, he said, you are

  968. cancer free. Every time I saw somebody up

  969. there, they said, did you realize you're cancer free?

  970. Yeah. Yeah, I realize that.

  971. And if you ask me how, I'll tell you not one person was

  972. interested in how. It's OK You know, that place in

  973. my back, I didn't get to see a neurologist for eight months

  974. after this whole thing started. But I noticed in the midst of

  975. that, my back quit hurting. And they said, what's?

  976. Cuz you're on drugs, Randy. Anybody ever heard Pastor say

  977. that? He he, he was a slobber, an

  978. idiot. He said that from the pulpit.

  979. Randy was a slobber. Need.

  980. That's what drugs will do to you.

  981. Well, they didn't know that. I went off them drugs, cold

  982. Turkey, oxycodone, Oxycontin, gabapentin, and they had drugged

  983. me to die. That's what the whole deal with

  984. the end of life counselor was about.

  985. They later told me we knew you were going to die between

  986. Thanksgiving and Christmas, Ha. So I go see this neurologist,

  987. OK? He walks in first question, how

  988. old are you? I asked him, how old are you?

  989. He said, I'm 35. I looked at my wife.

  990. I said, he shaved a day in his life, and this guy's going to do

  991. surgery on my back. And I thought that was

  992. interesting because he said, well, Mr. Clay, can I ask you a

  993. few questions? And I said sure.

  994. And he said, did you dress yourself this morning?

  995. I looked at my wife and I said, is it that bad?

  996. I said that. I said, yes, Sir.

  997. I dressed myself. He said, well, I didn't see a

  998. wheelchair. I said, no, I'm out of the

  999. wheelchair. He said, well, you're not

  1000. wearing a body brace. You're not.

  1001. And I go, no, Sir. And he said, well, he said, can

  1002. you get up and do a few exercises for me?

  1003. Yeah, yeah, I did them. And he says, does this hurt?

  1004. You know, he started hitting me right in the back where that

  1005. that that T3 was. I said no, it doesn't hurt at

  1006. all. He said, well, I want to show

  1007. you your MRI. Here's your first one.

  1008. I knew what it looked like. It's horrible, man.

  1009. It's gone. He goes, here's your new MRI.

  1010. He said it's completely grown back.

  1011. He said we can't believe you're in, not in any pain.

  1012. And he said your spinal cord is gone, right back into position.

  1013. And he said, we got to be honest with you.

  1014. This is nothing less than a miracle.

  1015. You write that down on that paper.

  1016. Write that down on that paper, he said.

  1017. There's no surgery that we could do to make you better than you

  1018. are. That's 2011.

  1019. What year is it now? Never had another pain.

  1020. OK. The thing that we've got to

  1021. understand is that the Word of God works.

  1022. If you'll work the Word of God, get your life straight, make a

  1023. decision. I'm not going to compromise when

  1024. it comes to the Word of God. Listen, that what I told you was

  1025. just the tip of an iceberg on the on the things I could tell

  1026. you about the chemotherapy. I didn't read the fine print

  1027. says it's going to fail your kidneys, it's going to fail your

  1028. heart. Yes, I had kidney problems.

  1029. Yes, my kidneys failed. Yes, I wound up in dialysis.

  1030. I was there Not one time did I watch television with everybody

  1031. else watching Gunsmoke Gomer pile.

  1032. I meditated to word a gun. 40 weeks later, I'm out.

  1033. My kidneys kicked back in. I didn't have to have surgery.

  1034. No, no donations of kidneys. Anything.

  1035. All right. The only thing that happened one

  1036. time I went in the hospital with a urinary tract infection.

  1037. All I wanted was an antibiotic. A little relief.

  1038. Wound up a week later with open heart surgery.

  1039. Didn't give me time to go home and get my faith going at to

  1040. full speed. They locked me in that hospital

  1041. for seven days. But you know what?

  1042. Psalms 3419 is true. Many are the afflictions of the

  1043. righteous, but my God delivers them out of them all.
