Christian evangelist Nabeel Qureshi released a 10-minute video on September 7, in which he provided details of his stage IV stomach cancer prognosis and treatment. He told his viewers that American Cancer Society statistics say that survival rate for people with stage IV stomach cancer was 4 percent, but he trusted in God to heal him.
He started seeing doctors last December, but nothing serious was diagnosed until two weeks ago, when a gastroenterologist spotted "something very concerning," which after four days was confirmed as stage IV stomach cancer with a grim survival prognosis.
"Specifically, a poorly differentiated Adenocarcinoma, arising probably from the gastric cardia. So, the prognosis of survival to five years is 4 percent chance. So, I knew that I needed a miracle," he said.

"Am I saying God has to heal people? No, I am not saying that. God is sovereign. He can do whatever he wants. But the God that I have confidence in Yahweh, the Father. He is a healer. He stepped into this world and he was known for healing and never returned anyone away here on this earth. So I am praying to him - that God, asking him for healing."
He asked people to "ignore the numbers." He continued, "In fact, I woke up one night with the words on my lips, 'I will not take refuge in statistics, I will take refuge in my God.' And so that is what is carrying me through as well."
"If you ask me frankly, 'do I think I will make it?' I would say 'yes.' Again, not because of statistics but I have asked many people to pray, and those who are inclined to receive words from the Lord, have uniformly responded to me that they believe that the Lord is refining me in this time. He has allowed this to happen, not that he has caused it to happen, so that I would come on the other end much

He expects us to pray to Him to give us strength and courage, so we can use it to glorify Him and spread his word. We need to ask him for courage, not just rely on our own strength. If we rely on ourselves to be courageous, we are bound for failure. But also are drifting from Jesus- the only one who can save us. So the lesson here is to rely on Jesus to give us courage and bravery to do His will. We can’t expect that we will be alright with little fears by

If I walk in heaven’s light, Shun the wrong and do the right, I know the Lord will find a way for me.

VI. Many would have you believe that this is enough, due to the fact that the overall ‘survival rate’ has increased by thirty percent in the last thirty years according to the National Cancer Institute.
There are times in our life when each of us has fallen ill. Many of us immediately consult the doctors. Our faith appears to have disappeared. As diligently members of the church, we do not stop to consulting God for His medical assistance. We can all identify with the woman with the issue of blood and how she spent all she had before she meet up with Jesus and just by reaching out and touching just the hem of His garment. She was made whole. Hezekiah quickly turns to the wall and consults God for a miraculous healing immediately. God extended His life just like that. We must gather ourselves and remember where all of our help comes from and that is the Lord. As, the trials of life comes about, we are waiting on the Lord. The fact of the

They told him he had 6 months to live, but he died Dec 24, 2014. He was treating it by having chemotherapy and radiation, but he stop because he said it was making him too sleepy.
