How God Worked Miracles Against Rod
Parsley's Cancer
Rod Parsley was diagnosed with throat cancer. It's not a big
secret, though he has not been speaking much about it publicly—until now.
Rod Parsley is beating throat cancer.
Now, the TV host, evangelist, educator, humanitarian and statesman
has shared his story with Charisma News. In part one
of this interview, he shares how he discovered he had cancer, the battle
that raged against his mind and how he used the Bible to battle against
radiation side effects. Now in part
Charisma News: How did it make you feel when you were
faced with your own mortality?
Rod Parsley: Out of nowhere, and immediately you
come face to face with your own mortality. But the Word promises us that God
will bless us with long life and good life, sufficient in quantity, superior in
quality. At some point, we are all going to realize and enter into our own
mortality.
This accelerated the
process. What would happen to my family? I'm not finished yet, I have so much
more to do. And immediately, the Word of the Lord from Psalm 62 raises up
in my spirit and says, "Let all that I am wait quietly before
my God."
Charisma News: What did that look
like?
Rod Parsley: The 'quietly' was very, very large to
me because I was quiet during this process. There was a period of time where I
could not utter a sound. I could not whisper.
Nothing would come out of my voice, but God's Word said wait
quietly, "Let all that I am wait quietly
before my God for He is my hope, and He is my rock, and He is my
salvation."
Philippians 4:6, "Be anxious for nothing, because
fear tries to come, panic tries to come, rage tries to come, anger tries to
come hopelessness tries to come. Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by
prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, and the very God, my God and His
very peace will keep will guard, will garrison my heart and my mind in Christ
Jesus and keep me.”
Oh how I leaned on this. He will keep me in perfect peace. For
my mind is stayed upon Him. For the weapons of my warfare are not carnal, they
are mighty through God. I couldn't fight this thing. I told Jonie (his wife) several
times, "I feel like I just wanna reach in there and tear it out of my
body because it doesn't belong there because my body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit."
Charisma News: How would you respond
to people who would suggest this was God trying to teach you something?
Rod Parsley: Listen, I am
more convinced than ever that sickness, disease, pain, malady,
malfunction, the cure for that curse, and it is a curse, is provided by the
same cross that provided our salvation. Jesus said it Himself to the woman bent over
for 18 years, he said to those religious spirits of his day, "Ought not
this woman." Now, what the Scripture actually says is "This woman
has a right, ought not this woman, she has a right to be loosed from this
bondage where in Satan has bound her, these many years seeing that she is a
child of Abraham?"
Oh, how my spirit ran to
Galatians 3:19, "If you are Christ's, then you are
Abraham's seed and you are an heir according to that promise." Don't you ever ...
let the devil tell you sickness and disease is something god sends your way.
Sickness and disease were never present
on the earth until Adam committed high treason against God. Now, the author of
that instigation was Satan, because he wanted to mar the image of God.
We are created in the image of God. Our
bodies are the temple of the Holy Ghost. The Bible says our bodies are not for
fornication, but for the Spirit of God. My body is the temple of the Holy
Spirit; He is the vine, we are the branches. What comes to us should come from
him. This earth and the fullness there of are the Lord's.
The problem is, we act like it belongs to
the devil and we are the trespassers here. In actuality, we're in the kingdom
of God, we're in that cosmos of the kingdom of God, which is in the earth. And
the earth and the fullness there of belong to God. Therefore in this kingdom,
sickness, disease, pain, malady, malfunction, infirmity cannot
exist.
The word of God, Psalm 107 verse 20, "He sent His word and He healed
them and delivered them from all their transgressions." Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24, "For this purpose, that God sent
Jesus to be wounded for our transgressions, bruised for our iniquities, the
chastisement of our peace was laid upon Him, by his stripes we were
(healed)." And 1 Peter 2:24, and are healed.
... Jesus was asked point-blank if it
was His will to heal. His answer was in different translations, His answer was, "Of course I will, be whole. I
will it. I will it from all my heart that you be made whole."
3 John 2, "Beloved I wish above all things
that you prosper and be in health even as your soul prospers." God is the healer, look at me. He's the
healer. This journey ends up with a "Hallelujah, I'm here talking today."
Charisma News: How has the Body of
Christ come together in support of you?
Rod Parsley: Most humbling
experience of nearly 40 years of ministry are the amount of people who have
prayed with me, and we didn't even make it public nationally. And I hesitate to
name any of them, Pastor Benny Hinn, Kenneth and Gloria Copeland. Brother
Copeland prayed with me on the phone for 45 minutes one day. I never heard a
man pray like that.
... For those that would know, Dodie
Osteen, John Osteen's wife, healed of cancer herself miraculously in an instant
without the doctors aid. Reinhard Bonnke. It just goes on and on and on. ... I
could never (name them all). Joyce Meyer, James and Betty Robison.
I love them all so much. My family, my
church family, there's nothing more powerful than that power of agreement. "If any two of you on earth
agree as touching anything they shall ask, it shall be done for them by my
Father which is in heaven. A three-stranded chord is not easily broken. When
you pray one for another, then you are healed."
I received prayer cloths from so many.
Precious Jan Crouch—I had been preaching on TBN, and I have to perspire lest I
blow up. And she came to me afterwards, this has been a decade ago. I always
preach with a black handkerchief, and she said, "Can I have
that?"
And I said, "Well
certainly, honey. What's wrong?" and she said "I've been having a sore throat for so
long and it's so painful" and she took that prayer cloth and wrapped it
around her throat when she would sleep. Well, that's over a decade ago, and in
the mail, Fed-exed (it to me) with her precious handwriting on it, "Rod you gave
me this prayer cloth and God gave me a miracle. I want you to receive a
miracle."
My church family gave me a prayer cloth.
Valor Christian college students gave me prayer cloths. And I would take them
to those 28 radiation treatments.
Third-degree burns on the outside of my
body, the inside of my throat, but that agreement to know that those people are
praying with you. For every person that prays for me in this whole process and
continuing, I pray, "Yes, God, please answer their prayers for me.
But more than that, answer every prayer,
every desire of their heart, every entry, every request spoken and unspoken
according to Ephesians 3:20, exceedingly, abundantly above anything they
could ever ask or think. Shock them with miracles as they pray for me as
I pray for them, my partners, my friends, my family."
And God is doing miracles, and this
anointing, what the devil meant to silence my voice, I full-well believe my
voice restored. Jeremiah 30:17, "I will restore
your health and I will heal your wounds." And I am coming
back, microphone and Bible and television camera with a seven-times better
anointing than I ever possessed in my life, seven times more souls won to God's
kingdom, seven times more deliverance, healing , salvation miracles in the
name of Lord's Christ because God will see to it. He will perfect,
complete that which concerns you.
Charisma News: Tell everyone what
it felt like when you got the report that you were cancer free.
Rod Parsley: Well, I had
prayed and prayed, "God make me a sign, make me a
wonder."
Now I'd already had a lot because I had
been talked to about, you know, when you're having treatment in that area, the
throat, that's where you swallow, that's where you breathe. So there was the
talk of a tracheotomy, talk of swelling where I couldn't feed myself, have a
feeding tube inserted, how much weight I was going to lose.
At the end of the treatment, I had gained
one pound. That's a sign, that's a wonder, that's a miracle. No feeding tube,
no tracheotomy, no pic line, off all medications in record time. Speaking in
record time. I had been told it could take up to a year before I could be
speaking like I am speaking to you now. It's been less than a month. God is a
miracle worker.
Charisma News: How are you going to
move forward?
Charisma News: We're going to
continue to celebrate because the path of the righteous, whenever sickness
attacks your body, whatever situation you find yourself in, the path of the
righteous grows brighter and brighter.
I would lay on my bed with tears staining
my pillow, unable to speak, I would mouth the words, "I'll be
better tomorrow than I am today, I'll be
stronger tomorrow than I am today." Because hope deferred,
the Scripture says, makes the heart sick. A joyful heart does good like a
medicine. A cheerful heart makes a quick recovery.
"The joy of the Lord is our strength.
It's going to better, I'm going to be better tomorrow than I am today
because all power on heaven and earth is given to the Lord Jesus Christ,
Jehovah Joshua Messiah.
"At His name every knee must bow,
every tongue must confess that he is Lord to the glory of God the Father. It is
not by might, it is not by power. It is by His spirit. And the path of the
righteous grows brighter and brighter—and tomorrow is going to be
greater than today."
Would you want God to change your
life?
God has made it possible for you to know
Him and experience an amazing change in your own life through a relationship with
His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
Say the following prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have
separated me from You.
