Eight months. That is how long John had been living with the knowledge that cancer was throughout his entire physical body. Not in one organ. Not in one system. Throughout. Everywhere.
For eight months, John lived in the shadow of a diagnosis that most people would call hopeless. Cancer that has spread throughout the entire body does not come with a treatment plan that includes the word "cure." It comes with management. It comes with timelines. It comes with conversations that begin with "making you comfortable."
And it comes with fear. The particular, suffocating kind of fear that settles in when you know the enemy is not in one location but everywhere at once.
The Eight Months
John attended Living Faith Community Church, pastored by Dr. Reg Morais. The church knew about his diagnosis. They had been praying. But eight months is a long time to pray for something and see no change. Eight months is long enough for hope to start fading and for fear to start winning.
John continued attending church. He continued receiving treatment. He continued waking up every morning with the knowledge that cancer was in every corner of his body. The fear was not occasional. It was constant. It was the baseline condition of his existence.
The Encounter
Then something happened that John was not expecting — because it did not happen to him. It happened to his pastor.
Dr. Reg Morais had a supernatural encounter. He described being presented face to face with Jesus. The Holy Spirit instructed him to come, and in that encounter, he received specific direction about John's healing.
Morais went to John and told him to get another test. Go back to the doctors. Get an MRI or an X-ray. Check again.
After eight months of cancer throughout his entire body, being told to "go check again" might have felt cruel. Why would the results be any different? The disease was everywhere. Multiple scans had confirmed it. What could possibly have changed?
The Three Checks
John went back to the doctors. They ran the tests.
The results came back and the doctors could not believe them. They checked a second time. Same results. They checked a third time.
"That cancer is no longer in your physical body."
Three times. Three separate checks. Because when cancer that was throughout an entire body is suddenly gone, the medical instinct is to assume the machines are wrong. But the machines were not wrong. The cancer was gone.
What This Means for You
John's story raises a question that fear does not want you to ask: what if the next scan shows something different?
Fear tells you to stop hoping. Fear tells you the cancer is permanent. Fear tells you that eight months of the same bad news means nine months will bring more of the same. Fear is a pattern-matcher, and the pattern says: this does not end well.
But God is not bound by patterns. He is not limited by medical history. He is not constrained by what the last eight scans showed. He can interrupt a trajectory that seemed fixed, reverse a disease that seemed total, and confound doctors who have to check three times because they cannot believe what they are seeing.
If you are living in the fear of a diagnosis that feels overwhelming — cancer that has spread, cancer that is everywhere, cancer that the doctors have stopped trying to cure — John's story is not a guarantee. It is an invitation. An invitation to let hope survive one more day. Because one day, the scan might come back different.
And if God can clear cancer from an entire body overnight, He can handle whatever is in yours.
