Harvey was not looking well, in fact, he had been given only a matter of weeks to live. Cancer was the problem.
I have never been reticent about where I pray, so right there in the waiting room I prayed that Doctor Jesus would touch Harvey and grant him years of healthy living. The folk in the waiting room began to realize they were in church but didn't seem to mind. Suddenly, the miracle of Hezekiah's healing came to mind. This was where the prophet Isaiah spoke to the dying King and told him that the shadow on the sundial was being put back fifteen degrees; fifteen degrees, fifteen more years to live! When I spoke this to Harvey, he and his wife began to praise God; they already had been given this word by someone else and, as far as they were concerned, the deal was sealed!
All of this was over three years ago.
This summer I saw Harvey. He looked full of health and told me that he was hoping to go on a mission trip to Nicaragua.
Not bad for a man who was given only a few weeks to live in 2011.
Jubilate.
