Miraculous Healing from Terminal Illness

 Emphysema is an incurable disease, but with God nothing is impossible.

My father was 70 years old and not a believer. He had smoked 40 cigarettes a day for many years, and his lungs were almost destroyed. He had emphysema, and his older brothers died at 59 and 65. I prayed that my father would live long enough to finally believe in Jesus.

My father was converted at 88 and at 91 he was still alive but quite demented and half blind. It was amazing that there was no longer any sign of emphysema. An amazing miracle.

I shared my testimony in my church about how God had answered my prayer and given my father a long life so that he could be saved.

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Ps 91:16 NIV

I explained how God had miraculously fulfilled this promise in my father's life and how I could only understand it as a completely supernatural miracle.

Then I prayed again and asked God to give my father a quick death because life on earth had become a torment for my father.

I asked God to give me a sign to confirm His word. I asked God that my father would die in peace exactly 16 days after his 91st birthday and that is exactly what happened.

My father died a few minutes before 4pm (1600 hours) on 22 September 2014, 16 days after his birthday.

With long life I will satisfy him and show him my salvation.” Ps 91:16 NIV

God is not obliged to give us such signs. I did not demand this sign from God, but God sometimes gives us a sign as a testimony, to help others come to faith or to encourage them in their faith.
