Prayer for 'Doc'

If you've been on our forums for a while, or if you've been on our facebook page, or listened to the radio show, or if you've been to a retreat in the last 2 years, you know who 'Doc' (DocInFl on the forums) is, and have likely been blessed by him, in one way or another. It's been great to have him speak at all 2009/2010 retreats so far, and he has been vital to helping Biblical Families grow and stay focused on what God has for us to do. Just recently Doc has felt the renewed calling (a life-long calling, for him) for local ministry, and was laying the foundation for a community-focused church here in Orlando.

Now, it's our turn to be there for him. Today the doctors confirmed what they've suspected for the last week: Doc has advanced non-Hodgkin lymphoma (cancer), and is in for the fight of his life. Doc doesn't currently have health insurance, but that won't stop them from starting treatment next week.

We are blessed to have Doc as part of our home-group in Orlando, and we will certainly be doing everything we can for him - we laid hands on and prayed for him Monday night, and will continue to do so.

Please begin praying for his healing, earnestly and continuously. Pray against discouragement and lies the enemy would bring. This battle will likely be a lengthy one. We are praying for the Lord to take full victory over this for Doc, and for Him to be glorified in the process, giving Doc a great testimony in the future.

You may post your notes of encouragement here for Doc, or send him a PM - but don't expect a quick reply, he's busy measuring what's important in his life, and starting down this new road.

If you feel led to do more than pray, or there's some other way you think you can help, you may email me at nathan@biblicalfamilies.org.

"Lord, hold our beloved brother Doc, your servant, in Your hands, heal him and make him new! Begin the healing work in him even today, and guide the doctors to be one of your instruments. Let the Glory and Honor be unto you."
 
Doc,
You are in our prayers. If there is anything that we can do for you, do not hesitate to ask. Pick up the phone, email, PM, or whatever it takes. You are my brother in Christ, and as such, I shall stand with you during this time, and if necessary, I shall do, as they did for Moses, and help hold you up.

I am thinking of you Doc.

we add our hearty "SO BE IT" to nathans prayer
 
Doc,
Nothing you don't know, but when we are hit broad-sided with something like this, it is hard to think like a pastor, but here it is anyway, GOD IS ABLE! We have a lady (88)in our church that has been diagnosed and treated for different cancers three times in the last 28 years. With treatment and the healing hand of our Lord she has been delivered all three times. I believe she has had two other bouts that she was delivered from through annointing with oil and prayer. A lady that I have done some work for recently, had a serious case of melanoma and treated it herself holistically, bathed in prayer and faith in God. She is cancer free today. Another of our ladies who is on this forum has been delivered from a completely blocked carotid artery to a completely clear one in 3 days time by the healing power of God, no medical treatment. The same lady has been delivered from another form of cancer, using prayer and faith in God and treatment. It is in remission today. Again, let me say God is able. AND He thinks you are really special!! Be ready for a trial, but expect Victory from our Lord!!! You know I am a Baptist, just to let you know some of us do believe in the power of God to heal, I've seen Him do it.
 
Doc,
Our prayers are with you and we will pray for you every time we go to the Father. We love you and want only the best for you.

Though we have never met you face to face, you are still near and dear to our hearts!

You're in our prayers.

When it comes to healing, God doesn't find much difference between cancer and the common cold, unless we point it out to him (unbelief). God can heal Doc.
 
Dear Doc,
I hope this letter finds you leaning on Jesus. I just wanted to personally let you know how much we (my husband and I) care about you. We are and will continue to pray for you. There will be brighter days ahead. Take care.
 
I just ran across this thread - time to un'sticky' it. God wasn't done with Doc, and he's all better - In fact, he's better than ever, and we look forward to having him at retreats for many years yet.

Thanks, God!
 
Wow, I had no idea of any of this. Thanks for bumping this, and praise God for his healing power!!
