- I couldn't talk.

I would try to verbalizethings and was just like

I had no voice.

- [Narrator] This was thesecond time in two months

that Stan Lander feltthis strange sensation.

- I asked him a questionand he didn't answer.

So I looked at him and askedagain and didn't respond.

- [Narrator] This time helistened to his wife, Alita,

and went to his doctor,who sent him for an MRI.

It revealed a mass on his brain.

- We were just prayin'.

Lord, whatever this is, we give it to you.

We know that you're the healer.

- [Narrator] The couplehad no idea just how much

he would need God's healing.

After more testing,doctors concluded Stan had

a malignant brain tumor,known as primary CNS lymphoma.

It was rare and, inStan's case, inoperable.

- It was a death sentence.

Yeah, when he said you have,

he says you're lookingat three to six months,

I was thinking, is this really my life?

This isn't the script,

you know, that I've been living.

This isn't the way thatthings are gonna end.

They're not going to.

- There's a lot of fearthat wants to grip.

You can't go there.

You just can't.

It's like, okay, how are we gonna do this?

And we really said, God is our only hope.

There is no other option.

- [Narrator] That Sunday in church,

the Landers asked for prayer.

- You go back and yourecount those testimonies,

where God's come through.

(gentle music)

So even in the midst of

of that dire

prognosis,

we knew that God was stillfor us and He had a plan

for our life.

- [Narrator] Later theywent for a second opinion

with respected Seattle neurosurgeon,

known in the community as Dr. Lao.

But the report was the same.

- I agree with the firstneurosurgeon that this most likely

was tumor or cancer,

and I say that

from neurosurgical point of view,

we cannot do anything much.

- [Narrator] Dr. Lao is also a pastor.

- So the only option leftwas to believe in the miracle

that God can heal him.

- He said, can I pray for you?

I never had a doctor pray for me before,

and here Dr. Lao was praying for me.

I felt the healing ofhis prayers that night.

- [Narrator] By now, ithad been seven weeks since

the first MRI, and asa matter of protocol,

Dr. Lao ordered another.

Everyone the couple knew,including Dr. Lao's church,

continued praying for a miracle.

- From the human pointof view, it's hopeless,

but we don't walk bysight, we walk by faith.

- [TV Preacher] The Lord isgiving you a spirit of praise.

- [Narrator] Then a weekbefore the follow-up MRI,

Stan and Alita were watching The 700 Club.

- [Pat] And taking away that heaviness.

- There's someone else,you've been diagnosed

with a brain tumor.

It's not a question of whether you have it

or not, it's there.

You question whether Godcan heal such a thing.

Today, God is setting you free.

He's totally healing that tumor.

It'll just disappear.

- We look at each other,go, that's for me. (laughs)

And it was just,

was more than icing on the cake.

It was like that'ssealed, it's a done deal.

- So it was just a confirmation that, yes,

you don't need to worry.

- It just contributed toour hope and faith, yeah.

- [Narrator] Supported byprayers and hearts full of hope,

Stan went for his MRI.

A week later, he met withDr. Lao for the results.

- There was a sense thatthis is the MRI that counts.

This is the one that'sgonna tell the story,

one way or another.

- [Dr. Lao] This is the onethat when you see the picture,

your jaw drop.

- Dr. Lao came in and said,there's a hole in the brain

where the tumor was.

There's a hole in the brain.

- We saw the white stuff here.

It's all gone, become a cavity.

- Isn't a hole in thebrain still a bad thing?

And he says, no, it's scar tissue.

It's gone, it's completely gone.

- I wanted to shout it from the rooftops

and tell everybody in sight.

God heals! (laughs)

He performed a miracle.

- We just were laughingand crying and it was just,

it was a fabulous moment.

- [Narrator] Ever sincethat day in November 2014,

Stan has been the picture of health,

with no signs or symptoms of brain cancer.

- I have seen so manysupernatural healings in my life.

So that's why I believe.

- It just leaves me in,

in awe of God's goodness,

of His love for us.

I have learned that, not tohesitate to pray for people,

because God just might heal them

and there's a good possibility of it.

- God is so faithful.

He's just so faithful.
