Dear old Mike has done it again: a brand new CD with virtually all new songs! The only older one is entitled, “What aSavior.” I can remember this one well from my church days atCentral Assembly of God in Springfield, Missouri over 50 yearsago. It is odd how I can recall most of the old hymns from longago, but cannot remember the names of dear ones I have justmet—isn’t old age strange? Here is how “What a Savior” goes:

O what a Savior, O hallelujah!His heart was broken on Calvary.His hands were nail scarred,His side was riven.He gave his life-blood for even me.

Yes, ten great songs of inspiration as only Mike Purkey cansing them! Not the Great I Was; Stand on the Word; I Found ItAll in the Cross; and Thanks to Calvary are just a few of thesongs that will bless you!

Dearest Partners:

I want to just fall on my face on my floor and stay theretelling God how much I LOVE Him again!

In October, Paul and I returned from two months working at the Holy Land Experience, and because of my2003 history with C-3 colon cancer, cancer of the appendix,and three out of five cancerous lymph nodes…with NOchemotherapy or radiation (they just removed the tumor), I try to keep up on my tests and love to have the reports ofbeing healed in Jesus’ name in my hand.

So, I began all the yearly tests again: mammogram,pap, chest x-ray, blood tests, EKGs…all clear. Then thebiggies: PET scan — clear and CT scan — WHOA!The CT scan showed a group of enlarged lymph nodes right behind my chest wall near my heart and lungs. So I scheduled the BIGGIE test: a BRONCHOSCOPYMEDIASTINOSCOPY — they go through the soft part of the bottom of your neck, behind the chest bone, for abiopsy. The doctor’s diagnosis was, of course, NOT good— possibly lymphoma or full blown cancer.

I cannot begin to tell you how we bombarded Heavenfor another miracle. I called my precious brother BennyHinn and he and my grandson Brandon prayed for me asthey ministered in Paris, France. I claimed Isaiah 53, “By whose stripes we are healed.” I believed Psalm 20,“May the Lord be with you in your day of trouble, may Heremember with pleasure the gifts you have given Him….”I anointed myself with holy oil. I listened to praise and worship music and thanked God for a miracle! I believedHis Word, that it is His great pleasure to heal us.I received His gift of healing over and over and over. KimClement had prayed and taught me to speak to the lymphnodes and say, “YOU HAVE NO PLACE IN MYPROPHETIC FUTURE!” I constantly interceded for aprecious lady I know who has untreatable cancer, believingfor her miracle. I read the healing Scriptures and claimedthem as if they had my name written on each one. Our familypartakes of Holy Communion at dinner, remembering ourSavior and what He did for us. Paul was on his face fastingand believing with me.

On November 25th I was scheduled at Cedars-SinaiMedical Center in Los Angeles. Precious friends whobelieved with me for my miracle took me. The first thingmy assistant, Danny York, said to me that morning was,“This is the day the Lord hath made and we will rejoiceand be glad in it.”

12 noon: Check-in; 2:00 PM: I was rolled on a gurney through those steel doors and halls into the operating room.

Everyone was dressed in white, covered head to toe.The operation would be done and the biopsy would bechecked before I awoke. I was cold, but breathing mySavior’s name every moment: “Jesus…Jesus…Jesus…Jesus…Jesus,” when I felt something touch me on my

right side. I looked (people, I could not say this if it was nottrue, but it is), my PRECIOUS Healer, Messiah, Savior,and Lord was sitting on the side of the operating table!I could see His clothes clearly…blue scarf around a purewhite robe…beautiful light brown, shoulder length hair….I felt the air go out of my lungs and a peace overwhelmedme that is really indescribable! I felt warmth, joy, almosthappy as I reached out to touch Him. I said, “Jesus…You’rehere.” I felt Him say, “I will NEVER leave you or forsakeyou.” I lay there talking spirit to spirit with Jesus. It was asif He was saying, “I will always be where people are hurting most” and so many, many precious words. He satthere by me until I heard the anesthesiologist say, “Breathedeeply Mrs. Crouch. You’re going to sleep now.”

3:30 PM: Moved into critical care; 6:00 PM: Rolledinto recovery.

I had not seen or talked to anyone with the result. I knew my family knew, but I had not heard. The nursepaged any family members of Jan Crouch to come to recovery third floor. In the door burst Paul Jr. and Dannywith smiles from ear to ear. Paul Jr. said, “Mom, have youheard?” I said, “No.” “Oh, mom, there is NO cancer.NONE WHATSOEVER! The worst…an infection to causethe lymph nodes to swell.”

“Ohhhhhhhh, Jesus!” We hugged, cried, thankedJesus, and called Paul Sr., Matt and Laurie, Brandon,Brittany and Mike, Cara, Caylan, and Cody and togetheragain cried out our praise and love to our healing Jesus.

BY WHOSE STRIPES WE ARE HEALED!By Whose stripes YOU are healed!It’s my Jesus’ love!I love you and thank you for your constant love and

prayers. We are healed in Jesus’ name! Your sister in Jesus,

(1 Cor. 13)

I LOVE you FATHER!I LOVE you JESUS!

I LOVE you HOLY SPIRIT!
