My Healing Journey in Christ

 by Dr. Felix Colon Ph.D

In July 2005, I was sitting in my office when all of a sudden I felt very sick. My blood pressure went sky high and I passed out on my job. The ambulance was called and they rushed me to the hospital. As standard routine of hospitals, they ran all the necessary tests and blood work. The doctor told me the results of the tests and said I had prostate cancer and that unless I had immediate surgery, he determined I had only 3 months to live. He said that, unfortunately, the cancer was far too advanced for any successful treatment, other than surgery to stop it from spreading. When he told me I had cancer I started to laugh. The doctor looked at me stunned and said “are you not accepting the condition that you are in and that you will die if you do not have surgery right away”? This is where my journey began.

I began my journey of faith. It meant putting into practice what I have taught and preached for so many years. I felt a tremendous baptism of faith ad peace; an overwhelming peace that I cannot explain. I admit I did start to feel some fear. I was only 55 years old and was planning on getting married so it was not a good time for me to be told I only had 3 months to live. I told the doctor that if surgery is the only way you think can save me, then go ahead. But I believe in a God who heals and delivers His people.

On September 5, 2005 I had the surgery. In the meantime, the woman who was soon to be my wife told me that she could not marry me because she did not want to be contaminated with cancer. Life goes on. Well, as I believed, the surgery was a success. But every 6 months I had to have blood work done to be sure everything was clean. In 2010 I was diagnosed with lower intestine cancer. I began to pray out loud, quoting scriptures and God’s promises. I prayed and talked to the Lord. I said “Lord, you told me that if I delight myself before you that you will grant me the desires of my heart. And whenever there’s a storm, you are my peace, my joy, and I believe and claim the healing of your precious blood over me. Scripture says “by Your stripes I have been healed” and so I stand on that promise.”

But the journey continued and once again in 2011 I developed cancer on my left lung, a cancerous mass in the lower part of my lung. In 2015 the doctors told me that I had cancer throughout my entire body. I cried out to the Lord. I cried and said “Lord, I am not going to have anyone pray for me because only You are my healer. You are my Lord and Savior and I stand on what you have taught me. This is when I began total surrender and knew that His grace was sufficient for me.

Shortly after this, I was invited to preach at Word of Life Church in Allentown. At the end of my message, Ralph, one of the church ministers, asked me if he could pray for me along with some others on the prayer team. I said yes. During this powerful prayer time, all of a sudden I felt this incredible, tremendous heat race through my body and at that moment I knew that I knew I was totally healed. I have been totally healed of cancer since May of 2016.
