- To hear that I have cancer.

When he told me cancer I was devastated

because I never had anything in my life.

- [Narrator] At 68 yearsold Gregory Doublas

couldn't remember ever being sick.

But now doctors were tellinghim and his wife, Athena,

they'd found a largetumor on his left kidney.

They were certain it was cancerous.

- It was devastating,

it was very, very hard, extremely hard.

- [Narrator] Doctors believedthe best course of action

was to remove the tumoralong with his kidney

and scheduled surgery.

- I began praying, believingGod will take away the cancer,

believing that the daywhen I go for the surgery

God will take away thetumor and I would be okay.

I was praying about a healing.

- [Narrator] But priorto surgery a CT scan

showed more bad news.

His lungs were covered with nodules,

an indication the cancer had spread.

- My heart was broken.

I was in such a condition,it's indescribable how I felt.

I heard the Lord in a crystal clear voice

from the right side andtold me, "I know about it."

Instantly peace came uponme and by the grace of God

I forgot about this horrible feeling

of being done, being devastated.

Peace came, overwhelmed me.

- [Narrator] Doctors decided to go ahead

with the scheduled surgery.

A few weeks later he wasreferred to oncologist,

Dr. Ted Logan, about his lungs.

- Basically we saw pulmonary nodules

that were increasing inboth size and number,

and that's very worrisome.

I thought that that probably indicated

that this was metastatic renal cancer.

- [Narrator] Dr. Loganexplained the treatment options,

including chemo, but thosewould only buy him time,

none could provide a cure.

- There's a huge range of how people do

with metastatic kidney cancer.

Some people are dead in a few months,

and other people are alive years.

So if you average it all together

it comes out around 10 to 12 months.

- [Narrator] Gregoryremembers the drive home.

- I was brought so low, as low as dirt.

I was devastated againand I couldn't stop tears,

water coming from my eyes.

But then I heard the Lordtell me, "Cast it out."

To cast out the spirit ofgrief and hopelessness.

So as I was driving, Iturned my head and I said,

"In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth

"I'm casting you out of me."

And instantly this peace cameupon me and the water stopped.

- [Narrator] Once home heshared the news with Athena.

- Fear came upon me, it did.

And so when we weretalking about it he goes,

"I'm going to be okay,Athena, I'm going to be okay.

"Don't worry about it."

That's how he encouraged me.

- [Narrator] After considering the options

and horrible side effects,they decided to forgo treatment

well aware of the consequences.

- I have to say, untreated most people

are not gonna do very well.

- [Narrator] Gregory andAthena believed differently

as they turned to prayerand God's word for healing.

- I assembled 70 versesthat talk about hope,

life, deliverance, and peace.

Every chance I had Ispoke the Word of God.

John 15:7, "If you abide inme and my words abide in you

"anything you shall askshall be done unto you."

John 14, "Anything you askin my name I will do it

"and the Father will be glorified."

Anything you ask I will do it.

- I belong to a prayer group,

so there was so much encouragement

just belonging in that group.

I had a lot of prayerwarriors all over the place.

- A miracle began to happen.

Inside this faith that I alreadybegan to rise to the point

I was expecting a healing, Iwas expecting to be healed,

to hear good news.

- [Narrator] Then two months later

he went back for bloodtests and another CT scan.

Dr. Logan had news.

- It was a surprising finding,

but it's not somethingI haven't seen before.

It's just very rare.

The nodules in the lung, those shrunk.

- [Narrator] In fact, Gregory was told

they were too small to be measured.

- Then I jumped up inthe seat, I yelled loud,

I yelled so loud I knowpeople heard me there,

all the doctors' office, "Lord, thank You,

"I know You healed me!"

- [Narrator] Medicallythe phenomenon is called

"a spontaneous regression."

For Athena and Gregory, it wasthe answer to their prayers.

- All those years that I knew what

the Word of God was about became real.

The healing and how Godresponds became real,

and how important it is for people

to believe in the Lordwith all your heart.

- [Narrator] That was 2016, and at each

of his six-month checkups, therehas been no sign of cancer.

Gregory and Athena attribute the healing

to the power of Jesus Christ.

- There's hope with the Lord Jesus,

there is always hope, pray to him.

Don't stop, even thoughsomething might not

have happened today it doesn't mean

that it won't down the road.

- When He doesn't answer that means

that we need to learn to wait on Him.

Every time, when you believein Jesus and we pray,

the Lord hears.
