Courage to fight through to Healing!

Evangelist Steve Hill is known to many as a revivalist in the Brownsville Revival in the mid 90's.   I can't begin to express how great an impact the Brownsville Revival had on my husband and I, not only personally but it completely revolutionized our ministry.  Even to this day we are carrying and ministering from the impartation we received through Steve Hill and John Kilpatrick.

When I heard that Steve Hill was battling Melanoma cancer, taking time out from Pastoring his church in Texas and then that he was gravely ill, I was so burdened for this great man of God.  I had just gone through what I now see was a minor incident with a Thyroid cancer scare and treatment, but it had produced in me this overwhelming compassion and empathy for people facing cancer.  

I have kept up with the reports on his condition through his Church's website.  What an amazing Church he has that has continued his legacy and are with great diligence doing the ministry with his heart on a daily and weekly basis believing and standing with him for Divine Healing to manifest and ultimately his return to the pulpit and helm of ministry.  

It was just recently I discovered that hospice had been called in giving him only days to live.   But just as quickly as I read that report it seemed other reports of his resurgence appeared.  Now Steve and his wife are in Germany, receiving holistic treatments to regain his strength and allow his body to heal not just from the cancer but the affects of the horrific chemo therapies that destroy not only cancer but all the body.  With great praise to GOD, Steve Hill is up walking, talking and preaching to the body of Christ once again through status updates and video!

I am reminded of Hezekiah who received the report from the prophet that God himself was giving him his death notice. 

"In those days was Hezekiah sick unto death. And the prophet Isaiah the son of Amoz came to him, and said unto him, Thus saith The Lord, Set thine house in order; for thou shalt die, and not live. Then he turned his face to the wall, and prayed unto The Lord, saying, I beseech thee, O Lord, remember now how I have walked before thee in truth and with a perfect heart, and have done that which is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah wept sore." (2 Kings 20:1-3 KJV)

Hezekiah cried out to the Lord...he prayed.
"And it came to pass, afore Isaiah was gone out into the middle court, that the word of The Lord came to him, saying, Turn again, and tell Hezekiah the captain of my people, Thus saith The Lord, the God of David thy father, I have heard thy prayer, I have seen thy tears: behold, I will heal thee: on the third day thou shalt go up unto the house of The Lord. And I will add unto thy days fifteen years; and I will deliver thee and this city out of the hand of the king of Assyria; and I will defend this city for mine own sake, and for my servant David's sake.And Isaiah said, Take a lump of figs. And they took and laid it on the boil, and he recovered." (2 Kings 20:4-7 KJV)

Oh, it is NEVER too late to cry out for healing no matter what the report is and who gave it to you!

So here is Steve Hill, who just recently was confined to his bed, a wheelchair and was straining to speak.  Hospice was called, the family was called to his side, not even recognizing his wife.  NEVERTHELESS....
