Bro Philip Howell Testimony 4-7-2024

Aren't you glad to be in the House of the Lord tonight. Well,

we want to ask brother Philip Howell to come around and give his testimony.

Before he does, I want you to know we give God all of the

praise, the honor and the glory for what he has done. He has

truly done a wonderful thing. It is marvelous in our eyes and also in

the eyes of the physicians. There will always be those naysayers. As long

as you live, and as long as your children and grandchildren live, there

will be nay sayers. But we have documented truth and evidence that our Lord

is a miracle worker. He's a miracle worker. We think him for his

gymnasts and his messuit. And it's still all in our Sweet Jesus, with

thet in, the honor, the praise, and the glory. I know

about this time last year, our lives were forever changed as we come under

suspicion that brother Philip had a serious health issue and would be facing a very

serious health crisis and the immediate future. And he was. He'll give some

details. Some we need to know, in some we don't, so some

he will withhold from us, but we'll good enough to know that our Lord

is still Jehovah roclap. He has not had a name change. He is

still the God that heals and greatly helps his people. How many of you

believe there's healing in the atoning blood of Jesus that assures us of healing being

available to each and every one of us, and also salvation, healing of

the body and healing of the soul. We thank the Lord for that.

My brother Philip will not give the exact name we're type of the cancer,

but I can assure you I've traveled with him many, many, many miles.

We together went to many Numers hospital visits and talked with some of the

best cancer doctors in the world, and they all have wholeheartedly one hundred percent

agreed concurred while he want an aggressive, rare form of cancer. They say,

at any given time, two hundred thousand people may have a certain type

of cancer, five hundred thousand, sometimes maybe as low as fifty or sixty

thousand people. They say, if you ever see or hear of account of

two thousand or less of people having a certain type of cancer at a given

time, that is a rare form and perhaps an aggressive form of cancer.

Type of cancer that is, in their words, untreatable and incurable. Brother

Philip is not one of two thousand. He was one of four hundred and

forty. At any given time, they've told us that almost two hundred thousand

women have breast cancer. Brother Philip is one of four hundred. They told

him, we don't know how to treat this cancer. We don't know if

it will work or not. We don't know that chemotherapy and radiation will work

or not. I wanted to come around and testify and tell of the good

things the Lord has done for him. I thank the Lord for anything he's

done for me, and most of you know the wonderful work onths back.

I I've noticed that I had a I think it's well. I had noticed

about this time last year, yet I didn't tell nobody. I mean we

what I noticed name that in our convention was when I've really noticed it started

to grow. So I pushed it not for months, and then I believe

Dad, they want their Alaskan cruise, and so I got a hold of

a doctor in Fort Myers, scheduled my appointment with him, and so Dad

didn't come home as on h I get a little most Pappy promise. So

they got home from them Alaskans bruised that Sunday that no, he was getting

ready to preach that Sunday afternoon. So he was up. Maybe he come

out of his room and his kind of shoes, and so I told him,

I said, this kid, So I told him, I said,

Dad, I got something to tell you. So he's sitting there. Oh,

my siblings know to see, he always sits in And so I told

him, I said, I got a mask that's been growing for a few

months, and I got a a boyment scheduled with the doctor and in Fort

Myers down there near Health Park. And so Dad, I think me and

Dad went down there whatever, and so he looked at at and he said,

man, there's only only one thing to do is let's go into surgery

and take it out because I don't know if it's cancerous or not. So

I go into that surgery that I can't remember the day it's on anything I

know. But so I have that surgery that go in and pull the masks

out. So they had to send it off for a biopsy, and so

then I believe it was So we waited for our results and it was one

week before our wedding almost to today, my business wedding, Me, Dad,

Mom, Elizabeth, and I think Hannah went over to Fort Myers and

so I don't know what. I didn't have a strong inclination that it is

cancerous, but so I'm totally Elizabeth and at this stay in the corner with

Mom and Hannah. So me and Dad went into the into this man's physician,

this physicious practice. So I knew as soon as his nurse coming too,

he just kind of profit on the wall, and so he told us,

yes, this is they come back camps risk, but it's extremely rare.

He told me that I think he'd been doing it for thirty five years,

that type of work. And then he had three colleagues and so they

had like one hundred and twenty years combined experience, and only one of them

had ever seen a case of guessing it was back in med school. And

so needs to say. He said, I don't, I don't know what

to tell you. And he said, they might put your chemo, they

might say just we don't know what it is. Really, let's just watch

it see the course, he said, But my best recommendation is to send

y'all up to Mofflet. So he got me in touch with some doctors at

Moffitt. So then me and dad and the family we went up to myfit

and so I surgeon up there. He said, man, the best thing

to do with where it's located is we're glad to cut you from It's like

a nine inch cut, basically blow the belly button all the way up in

between my roots. And so he said, when you go in there and

test all your lymph nodes and make sure you know, maybe it hadn't traveled

that far yet. So time goes on and we keep discussing it, and

then we go have that surgery. I think most of you I remember we

had to leave that Sunday afternoon. It was that that Monday morning early.

It was obviously most you know, a very major surgery. I think it

had to oor schedule for like seven or eight hours. So they go in,

they tested twenty three of my lymph nodes that they're more behind your spine,

but they enter from the front. Ye on me, I think I

said it was they tested twenty three, so I think they're done thirteen and

the nine or something like that. And so a couple of them come back

positive for the type of cancer. And so they said, man, we

don't know what to tell you. They said, we got this, if

it's fine with you. We got what's called the tumor boar here at Mafia,

and it's the top of every division of cancer. And they all they

once a month, I think it's on Tuesday, they happen what they called

the Meeting of the minds. So the tumor board gets together and discusses the

critical cases that they don't understand. And he said, if you're fine with

that, I'd like to present your case in it and see what they say.

And so they had their big meeting and all that, and so then

I get a call from a doctor. They had a consume meeting with me,

and so he was telling me what they thought we what they recommended doing.

And he said, he said, it's funny. He said, I've

never I've never seen this. One or two of the other people have seen

it. Years back. This form of cancer told me like that, you

said, he said, below five hundred it is how many people have that?

He said that there was a boy in a in another country. He

said, I'm treating right now with this same this same cancer, said we're

trying to figure out what to do too. I need to try to call

in and ask how that that my same age. There was like eight nine

months gap between us, he said, but he was over in a different

country than They went in and took the mats out, and you know,

he said, just tag him on the back. He said, you're good

to go. So then he got ate up something he'd come over here to

the States, and it turned out his very lymph nodes that they went and

tested and took out of me and all that. And now he said,

this kid, we don't know what to do for it. So it's very

serious. So they took that out, told me that we need to go

on the six months chemo, three months just chemo, and then three months

chemo and radiation, and so all that went on. I got my three

months of chemo and then kind of where the story gets exciting for me,

we were having that. We were having a revival a few weeks back in

Pastor had us warmed the circle square around the church and said, trying to

make sure there's no gap and just fill it out. He said, I

want us to pray, and when you feel lad, we're gonna cast out

the sickness. We're gonna cast out the devil everything we can and just cleave

the blood of kids over the church. And then so that went on,

I'd say for twenty five minutes, man powerful, and then instead, brother

Philip, you and some of the brothers go to that back door and cast

it out cancer. And I remember it so real. I didn't know the

very moment that happened. So there was an old hen field the oh.

I remember looking out and praying like I've never prayed before in a situation like

that. And in that moment, I told the Lord, I said,

I know you can heal me. I don't. I don't doubt it one

bit. But if you heal me, I still want to falling through with

everything. It's the pain to get started and trying to cancel that. They're

not gonna understand that. So I told him, I said, if you

let my hair grow, I will I know for sure. I knew you

could heal even without a sign. But and so we got done praying.

I felt the words so stronger they kind of settled back down, and I

went to the bathroom and you know, before I open the door, like,

man, I'm not city hair so I go in and look, I

didn't see nothing. I didn't I didn't get it straw or nothing like that.

And so we ended that night's service and went went home. That night.

I can't I have the days on in my phone somewhere. I'm writing

my story for say, I'm trying to get it right. So we went

home and I knew that morning I felt just a little fuzz or you know,

just to begin it. So that that went on for I think almost

for almost three days, and I didn't say nothing to nobody, and we

were that was in the Beginning Park. It was well more of the end

of the second week when the rooms were here, so the ashes were done

in at this time, and we I had went down one of my chemos

and I come back and I met Dad and the astros at lock habit,

and I just took my hat off, just the habit and Dad looked and

said, your hair growing. I just laughed and I said, yes,

sir. And so I went home. And I went home that day and

I went to begin and that I was feeling pretty rough, and so get

a nap before church, and Elizabeth about a shower of something, and I

just started rubbing my head, and I was thinking about it, and I

said, Lord, I know I was. I was laying in my bed.

I said, Lord, did you heal me? And some of you

heard. I'm I don't claim to know hear the voice of God often,

I know I'm know hearing how it's I know for a fact. As sure

as I was laying I heard a voice saying, rub your head, all

right, And I rub my head and I just started laughing. They listen

if you're walking by it. He just kind of looked at me and smiled.

I hadn't even told her what I told the Lord. I hadn't told

nobody. And then we get to church that night, and then Pastor says,

I'm gonna I knew for days I needed to testify about it, but

I was waiting for the right time, and and so getting ready maybe could

get for the ash. We're having a real powerful part and said about my

hair and girl, and I said, man, I gotta tell everybody.

I know. I was illed. So I I testified about it that night

a little bit, and so so then I uh, I testified out it.

My hair it's still growing, it's grown by the day. It's a

little thin, but I mean to sell everything, I cried, so and

I, uh, I go back. I got another few things, a

chemo, and so they told me you're at your your three month mark.

We're gonna we're gonna take a break. I think the skin a little under

two weeks and we'll get everything planned and schedule for the final three In radiation.

It said, so you'll go for your your three months follow up scan,

and so I said, all right, we'll go. So I had

a h think, I said, chess cavity one. I had that gone

a few days prior with contrasts and all that. So got my results back

clean on that right. And then I went and got my petskin, which

is the major. When they give you that, they say it's radiation a

little just a small tracer of radiation. And so man, I think for

the peace of God, like I get my things. Every time they just

kind of laugh. I fell I fell asleep every time I got a skin,

just laying there and I'm ah umping machine like in the world. And

so we went down to Miami to celebrate the halfway point. And so we

were sitting there at the Starbucks down in Miami and I get a phone call

and I rarely answered over this woman. They call every time to say work

your appointment such and such a I'll hear that I'm gonna be there, so

I answer it. And it's my nurse. He says, Hey Philip,

this is it wasn't Britain. I can't hear more than okay, really,

my best nursey. I got like ten over there. She said, Hey,

Philip, this is Katie. I said, hey, Katie, how's

it going? She said, going good. We just got your results back

from your head skin. She said, everything's showing clean. At the halfway

point, she said, this is this is crazy. How does that?

Oh? And congratulate you ta, I've never seen it in the halfway.

This is congratulation. I said, thank you. I appreciate it. And

so I thank the Lord for anything he's done. Okay, I think brother

Tyler steps a down. I think of his last son and not and he

said something about again like an accessible god or something. I don't like him,

and I got to thinking about that. Adam, you can't hurt John's

open door policy now, but some bosses. I get a new supervisor.

Hey man, I got to open door policy. Anytime you need to come

in That's that's how God is. Anytime we're in trouble, if you're saying

and you're doing things right, it might be just a simple old God.

Hey, you got an audience with a king. There ain't a president,

a king, anybody that you can't even get in touch with him. You

can't get in here. It's as simple as us. Lord, I need

him in this situation. And that's what happened that night. And another thing

when pastors said out the thing on a photocircle. I sit there and I

said, Lord, I like to have something to put on there, and

immediately this scripture come to me. I think it's Matthew fifteen to twenty something

like that about where it says Jesus speaking says all power is given to be

at heaven and in arth. I'm thankful that is power in heaven. But

we ain't in heaven yet, so I'm very thankful that he's got all power,

in all his power on him saying thank Lord. And I can't I

can't give what he done from me justice. I thank the Lord for anything.

I feel like the morn is tking me pleen a cancer go to help

you. I thank you for men a pu profession. I'm thank you for

doctors. I thank you for serative. I thank you for anything than at

plaqueen a cancer do here. Thank you for you set a head of food.

I gotta baking today in in Sunday School. That's the final thing that we

had on our petition. I want to be here and I know just a

few days later I be here and like I said, or have we got?

We got that there was a moving name, any s
