A New Song

When God gave me the vision to start The Healing Tree, I was days away from my 4th surgery. I was diagnosed in 2002 with congenital hepatic cystic diseased and have suffered great pain because of it. I've had 3 prior surgeries to remove cysts and tumors from inside my liver. I was told that the liver cysts were pre-cancerous and that over time, would most definitely turn into cancer. They told me that liver cancer is one of the most aggressive forms of cancer, and they ended up removing the entire left lobe of my liver to hopefully get rid of the problem once and for all.

I saw my liver specialist 1 month ago and he said the information showed that the cysts that were removed were found NOT to be pre-cancerous. He was puzzled at why the surgery proceeded (he was not the operating surgeon). He feels that I should make a full recovery from the liver disease: congenital hepatic cystic disease.

It was God who healed me but it took surgery to find that out make it evident. The Lord showed me that just when I have things figured out, He completely amazes and astonishes me. He shakes me up, stretches my faith, and puts a new song in my mouth. A song of praise and thanksgiving.

I waited patiently for the Lord;
he turned to me and heard my cry.
He lifted me out of the slimy pit,
out of the mud and mire;
he set my feet on a rock
and gave me a firm place to stand.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a hymn of praise to our God.

--Psalm 40:1-3

There's healing power in the name of Jesus. It's documented in many places throughout the bible. The good news is that He still heals today! I believe He's establishing The Healing Tree to be used as a vehicle to help build His Kingdom by delivering this wonderful news to others.
