Testimony of Bob Bashor One of the most devastating things that can happen in one’s life is to be informed by your doctor that you have cancer. In May 2002, I was diagnosed with two types of cancer, Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia and Small Cell Lymphocytic Lymphoma. I and my wife, Ann, talked with our pastor, Reverend Pat Yarbrough, about the doctor’s findings. He said I didn’t have time for this; I had too many things to do. He prayed for me many times during this last 12 months. One time he said he had to do just what the Lord had told him. He placed a candle at the altar and had it burning during each service. He said, “Let the flames of the candle represent the Holy Spirit burning the cancer cells from your body”. Another time he prayed for me and anointed my head with oil. He said, “Let the oil be for the healing of your body”. Another time he gave me a prayer cloth after praying over it and told me to put it under my pillow at night and carry it with me during the day. And many times he called me to the front of the church and prayed for me. One time he prayed and cast the cancer out in the Lord’s name. Another time he stopped while he was preaching and proclaimed “Bob you shall live and not die.” My pastor’s prayers meant so much to me and contained the “words of healing and life”. The whole congregation was very supportive with their prayers and encouragement, like a big family, the family of God. During the course of 30 Chemotherapy treatments, I was never sick and had minimal, if any side effects. I continued working full time for the City of Joplin doing my work as Right-of -Way Negotiator. Also continued doing my lawn service business. I maintain about ten yards, some small and some large, plus my own yard and landscaping projects. On May 7, 2003 I was declared in remission. I am now cancer free, Halleluiah, PRAISE GOD! I praise and thank GOD for my healing and restoring me to good health. I have been blessed abundantly, especially this last year. I have a nice home, good cars, a beautiful and understanding wife, a great church, and a wonderful and thoughtful pastor. Life has so much more meaning because of GOD’s blessings. I have attended Faith Tabernacle since 1971. I am thankful for my pastor, Pat Yarbrough, and his prayers, his loving concern for each person in his congregation, and his faithfulness to the pulpit. He preaches three services a week, works six days a week, and still takes time to talk with and council his congregation. He always greets everyone with a smile and a word of encouragement. He could have retired many years ago, and probably would have if he did not have the calling of God on his life. He is a very special person who follows the leadings of GOD. I thank GOD for giving my life back to me. I am truly BLESSED. Bob Bashor
The next day I went to church and ask my pastor, Reverend Pat Yarbrough, to pray for me. During the service he asked me to come to the platform. He prayed for me twice. The first time he touched me on my left side. I was slain under the power of the Holy Spirit. When I got up, he prayed for me again and touched me on the right side. I was slain the second time. When I got up Pastor Yarbrough told me, “While you are sleeping God is going to heal you.” One week later, June 5, 2003, I returned to the doctor. I had a heart catechization. The doctor looked at the picture, and told me I didn’t need a valve replacement. I thank God for giving me a miracle. I praise God for his healing power. I thank God for Pastor Yarbrough. When he prays God hears and answers. I give God praise and thanks and honor for my miracle. Ed Greenfield |
