How God Worked Miracles Against Rod Parsley’s Cancer
… For those that would know, Dodie Osteen, John Osteen’s wife, healed of cancer herself miraculously in an instant without the doctors aid. Reinhard Bonnke. It just goes on and on and on. … I could never (name them all). Joyce Meyer, James and Betty Robison. I love them all so much. My family, my church family, there’s nothing more powerful than that power of agreement. “If any two of you on earth agree as touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my Father which is in heaven. A three-stranded chord is not easily broken. When you pray one for another, then you are healed.”
I received prayer cloths from so many. Precious Jan Crouch—I had been preaching on TBN, and I have to perspire lest I blow up. And she came to me afterwards, this has been a decade ago. I always preach with a black handkerchief, and she said, “Can I have that?” And I said, “Well certainly, honey. What’s wrong?” and she said “I’ve been having a sore throat for so long and it’s so painful” and she took that prayer cloth and wrapped it around her throat when she would sleep. Well, that’s over a decade ago, and in the mail, Fed-exed (it to me) with her precious handwriting on it, “Rod you gave me this prayer cloth and God gave me a miracle. I want you to receive a miracle.”
My church family gave me a prayer cloth. Valor Christian college students gave me prayer cloths. And I would take them to those 28 radiation treatments. Third-degree burns on the outside of my body, the inside of my throat, but that agreement to know that those people are praying with you. For every person that prays for me in this whole process and continuing, I pray, “Yes, God, please answer their prayers for me. But more than that, answer every prayer, every desire of their heart, every entry, every request spoken and unspoken according to Ephesians 3:20, exceedingly, abundantly above anything they could ever ask or think. Shock them with miracles as they pray for me as I pray for them, my partners, my friends, my family.”
And God is doing miracles, and this anointing, what the devil meant to silence my voice, I full-well believe my voice restored. Jeremiah 30:17, “I will restore your health and I will heal your wounds.” And I am coming back, microphone and Bible and television camera with a seven-times better anointing than I ever possessed in my life, seven times more souls won to God’s kingdom, seven times more deliverance, healing , salvation miracles in the name of Lord’s Christ because God will see to it. He will perfect, complete that which concerns you.
Charisma News: Tell everyone what it felt like when you got the report that you were cancer free.
Rod Parsley: Well, I had prayed and prayed, “God make me a sign, make me a wonder.”
Now I’d already had a lot because I had been talked to about, you know, when you’re having treatment in that area, the throat, that’s where you swallow, that’s where you breathe. So there was the talk of a tracheotomy, talk of swelling where I couldn’t feed myself, have a feeding tube inserted, how much weight I was going to lose.
At the end of the treatment, I had gained one pound. That’s a sign, that’s a wonder, that’s a miracle. No feeding tube, no tracheotomy, no pic line, off all medications in record time. Speaking in record time. I had been told it could take up to a year before I could be speaking like I am speaking to you now. It’s been less than a month. God is a miracle worker.
Charisma News: How are you going to move forward?
Charisma News: We’re going to continue to celebrate because the path of the righteous, whenever sickness attacks your body, whatever situation you find yourself in, the path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter.
I would lay on my bed with tears staining my pillow, unable to speak, I would mouth the words, “I’ll be better tomorrow than I am today, I’ll be stronger tomorrow than I am today.” Because hope deferred, the Scripture says, makes the heart sick. A joyful heart does good like a medicine. A cheerful heart makes a quick recovery. The joy of the Lord is our strength. It’s going to better, I’m going to be better tomorrow than I am today because all power on heaven and earth is given to the Lord Jesus Christ, Jehovah Joshua Messiah. At His name every knee must bow, every tongue must confess that he is Lord to the glory of God the Father. It is not by might, it is not by power. It is by His spirit. And the path of the righteous grows brighter and brighter—and tomorrow is going to be greater than today.
