Dear Friends,

Please read this whole letter. Do not hit delete. You need this blessing.

You know this scene. Some of you have been there. They were going to operate on you to cut it out. You didn't even want to say the word. You would reject even the thought of the word. Fear gripped you and had you by the throat. You hoped beyond hope- maybe I would be the lucky one. Maybe they would get it all. This can't happen to me, no not me. After the operation as the doctor walked in you could see it in his eyes. He hated this part of his job, with all the science, with all of the knowledge, with all the education and talent he felt helpless now. How do you tell a man he is going to die?

It was not a place you would think a miracle could take place. It was not in a large auditorium. It was not during a time of choirs singing heavenly music. It was not in the conditions thought necessary for great meetings. Where did our precious Holy Spirit decide to show up? Where was this place? Where was the place you go after you have spent all? Where was the place you go after the physicians have done all they can do? It was in the back of a small Mexican restaurant rented out as a church. It was in a small room that could barely hold 200. It was there a frail old man came to die.

He had heard God was moving at these meetings in Ocean Shores, and he wanted to spend his last days in old time revival meetings. He wanted to spend his last days with the Lord. He came to die. He was not the man he used to be. His face had the lines and scars of 40 years of ministry. His stature was weighted down by the years they had traveled. His steps were not as quick as they used to be. He looked like your dad or grandpa you had not seen for years, but his eyes showed the life of Jesus Christ. In his eyes were the stars and twinkle of faith. He had seen many a Goliath fall. He had seen many a demon run. His eyes told the story.

He walked into the meetings not with the hope of being healed but with the desire to spend his last days in revival. He did not want to bother his Jesus for himself. He just wanted to enjoy His presence. There was only one old upright piano. Carol, the pastor's wife, was at the piano. She and her husband, Norm, both well past 50, were starting over again. They were starting a new church in this restaurant.

As Ed walked in with his cancer I walked up to him. I greeted him at the door. I could see the pain in his face. The greater pain I saw was in his wife's face. She had the face of a wife in pain and fear of losing her man. Claudia was not there because she wanted to be. She was there because she loved her man of almost 50 years of marriage. She was there because this is what he wanted. And you knew dad, when he set his mind on something, there was on turning back.
I asked Ed how he was. He said, "Just fine. Isn't it a wonderful day?" I then asked him why he came. I was not prepared for the answer. His steel blue eyes turned to me with great power. He knew this was a God moment. Did he tell the truth to this man he didn't know? If he did, he would soon find out if this was a God meeting or not.
"I came to die in these revival meetings." The answer came with such great shock. It came with such great power I had to step back. I asked why? He said he cancer, and did not have long to live. He had spent all. The doctors had done all they could do. It was time to die.

I was surprised at what happened next. The Spirit of the Lord came upon me with such power it surprised even me. The words of faith and the Lord filled my heart and my mouth. I blurted out "Not here! If you want to die, die somewhere else. This is a place of life. Jesus came to give life, not death. Thus saith the Lord: DEUT 30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you,
[that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life,
Now do you want to live?"

He said, Yes." I then said, "The Holy Spirit has an assignment for you. Will you hear and obey?" With all of his years of ministry, with all of his years of wisdom in hearing the voice of God, he knew this was a God moment.

He said, "What does the Lord want me to do?" I knew the Lord was testing him now. Does not the word say: JAMES 1:2...."count it all joy when ye fall into divers temptations;" For behind every temptation is a promotion or demotion. Would he see the promotion? Would he be humble and broken before the Lord? JAMES 4:10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up. PSALMS 34:18 The LORD [is] nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.

Ed, the Lord wants you to pass the Naaman test: 2KINGS 5:13 And his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, [if] the prophet had bid thee [do some] great thing, wouldest thou not have done [it]? how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?

Stand in the back of the room and pray. Pray this way, and this way only.
"Move, Holy Spirit, move. Move for Jesus' sake. Don't pray anything else just "Move, Holy Spirit move." If you do this, you will be healed."

Did the Lord have me say those words? Yes, He did! Just pray, "Move Holy Spirit, move", and you will be healed. I knew it was God. Ed knew it was God. He obeyed. He passed the test. He got his promotion.

RE: Maser, Edward C.
Dear Tom: This is just to keep you informed of the ongoing clinical miracle of Reverend Maser who, as you know was diagnosed in 1993 with invasive bladder cancer and bilateral urethral obstruction, at that time, bilateral double-J stents were placed and the tumor was incompletely excised. A recommendation was made for radical cystectomy and neobladder. However, as you know, this was not done and he has had indwelling stents over the years. To my absolute amazement, follow-up cystoscopy has demonstrated a progressive resolution of the remaining bladder tumor that was left at the time of his original procedure. In face, by today's flexible cystoscopy, he no longer has cancer in the bladder. The bladder mucosa overall appears completely healthy. There is no calculus buildup on the double-J stents.
Since the bladder cancer has completely resolved, I have recommended that we consider removal of his double-J stents. I think there is a fair probability the he no longer has bilateral urethral obstruction. I have no explanation for this clinical course other than, literally, "a miracle."
He again witnessed to me on the powers of faith and basically I am becoming a convert.
Sincerely David V. Wahl, MD

With a pain in my heart, I showed this to many of my friend. For so long my friends had been saying they wish the doctors would verify these miracles. I have kept hundreds of documented healings and miracles, and yet, they still do not really believe. While reading a letter from a man who was blind, another man asked how I knew he was blind. Sometimes, I wonder if we will ever learn. I wonder what your heart is saying. Are you rejoicing because of this letter, or do we still need more proof? Is not that what the word was saying in JOHN 9:18 But the Jews did not believe concerning him, that he had been blind, and received his sight, until they called the parents of him that had received his sight. JOHN 9:19 And they asked them, saying, Is this your son, who ye say was born blind? how then doth he now see?
