Miracle in Prison ~ Healed By His Stripes
Jeremiah, Frank and Woody in the back.
“Heal me, 0 Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise” Jeremiah 17:14
What a joy it is to write to proclaim the Mighty Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! It is such a privilege for me to be able to share this Wonderful news to you all, to help encourage you in the Fight of your Faith. We are all in the Battle together, and until we are able to understand that this Battle is not our own but it is the Lords, we will continue to fight in vain. In order for me to help you experience this entire Testimony, I will need to first give you some background about the situation.
2005 was a rough year for me with the passing of one of my Spiritual Grandmother’s Clara Carty, and also the passing of one of my dearest friends Dan Miller. I knew the Lord was still in control, but He seemed so far away from me when I needed Him most! But through this storm in my life I realized God was there all the time, waiting patiently for my commune. At first I thought that the Lord ignored my prayers, but later found out that He did answer them, and Totally Healed Grandma Carty and Dan Miller, by giving them entire New Bodies and they are now looking down over me from the balcony of their Mansion on a hill top.
Around the same time that I met my buddy Dan, I also met another old-head named Frank and in no time we were close friends. I learned at a very young age to be-friend old-heads in here, because they knew the ropes and would do their best to keep us young-bucks out of trouble.
Now that I am older I promised myself that I would now return the favor, and look out for them. Ask anybody in here if you need to find me look for a table of old-heads and I will be right in the center of them all! Shortly after I met Frank he shared with me that he had a bad problem with his liver, but I did not realize to what extent the problem was. Cirrhoses of the liver are what he said, but still I did not realize how far the disease had progressed. A few weeks ago Frank came to my cell almost in tears and immediately I asked what was wrong. I knew in the back of my mind that he had been waiting for parole to go home, so I thought oh man he got shot down by parole but he said it is my liver, they did an ultra sound today and found some spots on my liver and they think it is Cancer! Wow! Those words rang through my mind like a large sounding Gong! I felt like I was having deja vu it seemed like it was just days ago that I heard my buddy Dan saying those words and it wasn’t long after his results that he passed away. I tried not to show my concern too much because I did not want to alarm Frank in any way. He said “ Jeremiah, how long after Dan received his results did he pass? No, No, I don’t want to know”, he said.
Immediately I said Frank we are not going to except this over your life. I knew that Frank was a believer and that he had faith, and so did I and the Bible says if you have faith the size of a Mustard Seed you can move Mountains! Between the two of us I believed we had that amount of faith. I told Frank that along with my celly and a few other brothers we would lay hands on him and pray for a healing. Frank was all for that, so last Thursday on the 9th of February, we had him called over to the Chapel here at SCI Somerset and along with the chaplain and a few other brothers we laid hands upon him anointed him with oil and prayed for a healing of his liver. We prayed that along with a new liver the Lord would place in Frank a new Heart, a Heart totally devoted to Christ. Together we prayed and cried many tears that night, and after the prayer was finished a good brother, by the name of Mike looked at Frank and said “ I want you to repeat these words all night and through the rest of the week, Heal me, 0 Lord, and I will be healed; save me, and I shall be saved; for thou art my praise”.
Frank left the next morning to go to the outside hospital for a biopsy on his liver. Friday came and went and we knew we would have to wait the weekend for the results, and most of the time I would be a nervous wreck, but every time we would think anything we would repeat the scripture Jeremiah 17:14 and would find comfort in that verse. Early Tuesday the 14th in the morning “Valentines Day”, Frank was called for a pass to medical and we knew what it was for - the results were in. I walked with him up to the medical department and on the way there I said a silent prayer for Frank that the Lord would uphold him, keep him and heal him! What seemed like hours for his return from medical was in actuality only 20-30 minutes, my eyes were glued on the door and my emotions were running wild, every time the door opened I was looking for Frank to come walking through.
Well, after what seemed like a lifetime Frank came walking in and with tears in his eyes he did not have to say any words, I knew he was Healed, I knew the Lord had heard our prayers! Frank gripped me up and gave me one of the Biggest Hug’s I have ever had and he said brother I love you and I can’t thank you enough for your prayers and support through this all! I said well let me hear it, and he said NO CANCER! And the cirrhoses that had been spreading stopped dead in its tracks! Together we Praised the Lord, I felt so good I wanted to do back flips right in our unit-rec area! We are so thankful to the Lord for this Awesome Display of His Majestic Power. To anyone who does not believe, here is proof God is still in the Miracle Business. What He said He would do, He will do. He is the same yesterday, today, and forever! What a wonderful Gift for Frank from God with Love. Jeremiah
