We went and had another blood test this morning and GREAT NEWS - it came back with normal levels in each area. I could have danced a jig. Even Dr. John’s hemoglobin had increased from 11 on Wednesday the 12th to 14.5 today. He had a breakthrough on Friday that I believe was very significant. Friday morning he wasn’t doing very well, when I returned in the evening it was like he was a new man. I could tell that something had happened. I believe it was then that the Holy Spirit touched his blood and it began to rapidly increase. He is allowed to go without a mask, drive, take out the trash (lol) and even go to the office.
A Great Big PRAISE THE LORD!!!!!
Keep praying, P.Pat

Dear friend,
Thank you for your care and prayers. It makes a lot of difference.
In the past two weeks I have had four MRI's or scans to seek to determine what is causing pain in my body - in particular my right hip. My doctors have decided the tumor or lesion in my right hip has grown plus a growth has happened on my right rib cage. The treatment plan is to do three weeks of radiation on both areas. Pray for grace and success.
A secondary problem which has caused more pain is the pain reliever I have been taking. Advil has been the one pill that has helped with the pain and enabled me to sleep at night. But it is causing now great (stomach) gas pain which complicates life. I need wisdom in dealing with the gas.
I have sought to maintain a normal life although these pains make it hard. Thank you for your love and prayers.
Sincere love,
Dr. John

Dear friend,
Thank you for your friendship! I am writing to update you on my physical recovery process.
You probably realize four weeks ago I had a serious gall bladder infection. My surgeon had me recover for two weeks; then he had our local doctor do a physical on me; and then I had my gall bladder surgically removed six days ago. His expectation is for ten days recovery.
I am recovering. The side effects have been harder than the surgery. Terms like impacted bowel and severe hip pain have new meaning as I spent a day in the ER with each. I still trust for healing in my right hip; this is the result of the wear and tear of life and laying on a hard hospital bed.
Thank you for your friendship in the various ways. The past five weeks in MCC our leaders have a great job preaching; I have led -just not preaching. I have led various classes and small groups.Our NCC meeting had an attendance of forty with a great spirit. There are a lot of Jesus' things going on. Praise the Lord!
I look forward to the future. Again thank you for your friendship and partnership. Thank you for many who expressed love in various ways. God bless you!
Sincere love,
Dr. John

Dear friends,
Thank you for your support! It makes a lot of difference.
I am almost 95% over with the head cold. I feel normal. Also I have been on chemo 5 1/2 months now. The doctor says it is working well and my body tolerates it well. Praise the Lord.
Sincere love,
Dr. John

Dear friends,
Thank you for your prayers, cards, gifts and emails.
I have been doing fine. Since April 13, I have felt normal in each way. I realize that James 5:16 is true, the effectual fervent prayers of righteous people make a lot of difference and that Hebrews 11:6 states, Jesus rewards us for seeking Him. I have been reaping that harvest.
Today I went for a checkup and I had another chemo treatment. The doctor gave me encouraging reports. This past month I have found the time period of the fifth day to ninth day after chemo I have had several of the side effects (tiredness, aches, etc.). I trust for better results from chemo today.
Here in Marion, we are having good fruit and impact. I have been preaching each Sunday (except one) plus doing the Schools and many outreaches. We have many great leaders who circulate among the churches with real impact. We continue to grow in quantity and quality. Our Schools (Leadership, Prophetic Prayer, Apostles, Prophets, Counseling, Music plus the School of the Holy Spirit ) are going very well.
My faith words from Jesus are as follows:
* Psalms 91:15 satisfies with long life
* Psalms 103:5 youth is renewed like the eagles
* Isaiah 38:5 add fifteen years
* and Isaiah 40:31 renews their strength . . . as eagles
Thank you for your friendship and partnership. I always look forward to hearing the Holy Ghost stories through you all!
Sincere love,
Dr. John

Dear friends,
I cherish our friendship and partnership in our Lord Jesus Christ's kingdom. There is something I need to share with you.In recent weeks I had started to have a pain in my right hip that caused concern. I realized there were several possible causes. After various scans and tests my doctors shared with us that the prostate cancer that I have dealt with for fourteen years has spread to my right hip and rib cage. They recommended I have chemo treatments for a hour once every three weeks to seek to stop and slow the spread. I started chemo today.
My spirit is very strong. I actually feel pretty good. I am living a normal pattern of life - still doing normal services, writing, Schools, administration, consulting, traveling ministry, dream interpretation, mentoring and coaching. I look forward to walking together into the future.
I ask for your prayer support in our friendship for Pat and I and our family. I commit myself to your success. May 2008 be a "year of new beginnings as we take new gates." Jesus is Lord! Your glory Jesus!
Sincere love,
Dr. John
Dr. John Watson - On Sunday July 25, my best friend, my lover, my companion, my husband, the father of our children and so much more soared to the highest of heights into the arms of Jesus. He is now worshipping in the presence of the King in the way we only dream about.

Dear Friend,
Thank you for your love and interest in my life of John Watson and our lives as the Watsons.I have been on a sixteen year adventure of dealing with a disease called "prostate cancer." A prophetic word through my friend Chuck Pierce summarizes my focus "you will remain one step ahead of the disease until you walk away from it."I restarted chemo treatments again almost three months ago. The results are successful with reductions in disease activity as measured by PSA and no pain level. PTL. My doctor asked "do you take three or four days off after chemo to regain your strength?" I said "no, I just go back to work after 3 1/2 hours of chemo." One of my nurses asked "do you ever miss work?" She had noticed my dress style. I said "no, I am active every day." I also receive "shots for three days a week which then require a total of four driving days to Columbus each week. I say a geniune thank you to Jesus, to my medical team, to those who pray for me and us and to the research team who found chemos that work with minimum side effects. Thank you!

John Watson

That truly IS amazingly FANTASTIC GOD news!!
Continued prayers for completion of a miraculous healing! Love always, Judy Barnette
Hi Pastor John,
Our prayers will be with you. We received your blog through Milligans. God is good! All the time! We are doing well in Bonita Springs along with Rick's mom. I will write more to fill you in on the Shaw clan later.
Much love,
Rick and Kimberly
Dr. John,
When I heard this great news, I could just picture Jesus sitting in a chair right beside you giving you a transfusion of his own blood.
There isn't a germ, virus or cancer cell that can stand up to that!
Be encouraged and know that the watchmen have taken their place on the wall and nothing is going to get through.
Tim and Terry Mason
There's power in the blood of Jesus! We're having a praise party to celebrate this good news!
Blessings,
Joe & Rachel Blevins
Hello Dr. John,
When we were praying for you at the recent CIAN ministers conference, Bishop decreed you to be a "New Beginning Miracle" for this year. We agree for all that means. We love you and Pat and look forward to days of co-laboring together in the Kingdom.
Blessings, Gale & Shelly Sheehan
WooHoo!!!!! I am still praying for your complete and total healing. May your body be more than restored-may it be better than it was. Hugs from Indiana.

Dearest Pastor John & Pat,
I just found out last night about your challenge and Dominic and I will uphold you in prayer daily. Tears are in my eyes as I write because for the last week I kept feeling homesick for MCC and had you in my heart everyday not knowing that this has been going on. I just kept over and over yacking to Dominic and people I'd be around about how wonderful our experience at MCC has been in our lives. I told Dom I have to write them a letter. I had planned to sit this week and write you an appreciation letter for your incredible life's service to God and creating a wonderful atmosphere for the Lord and His people. I still plan to do this even tho' I just told you. My love is ever towards you both. You changed my life forever and I thought last week I never told them. I am so happy you are turning the corner! Jesus love you this I know...for the Bible tells me so....Blessings & Love Lori
Praise the Lord for the Great things that He has done and will continue to do. Our Prayers are with you every day. God Bless and take care.
Yours in Christ,
The Willauer Family
What a wonderful report! Can't wait to see the new thing God is doing. We appreciate your commitment to live LIFE and serve JESUS! You are in our prayers!
Dr.John:
I just was informed of your situation and want you to know that I will be in daily prayer and intercession for your full healing and restoration. You have been a blessing to me in my walk with the Lord and I look forward to continue sitting under your leadership and learning the things that Jesus has shared with you in your spiritual journey.
Father in heaven, thank you for Dr. John and what he means to the me and the many many saints he has touched through the ministry you have given him. I honor him and ask that your healing virtue would flow through his body bringing complete healing. Jesus, Dr. John is a model servant/leader and we need him to continue to learn from and model the humility, spiritual insight and wisdom he is so blessed with. Thank you Jesus.
God bless you my friend, your brother in Christ,

Psalms Now: Psalm 19
Wherever I am, Wherever I go,
I can sense something of the power
of God.
The grandeur of the mountains,
the vastness of the oceans,
the breathtaking wonder of
space;
all this procalims the glory
and majesty of God.
Even amid the clutter of our
cities,
built and abused by the hands
of men,
there are reflections of divine
splendor.
Heaven's silence or earths clamor,
may not be very articulate.
Yet God's voice can be heard.
He makes His presence known
throughout the world.
May God speak to you in a million ways every day!
We love you!
Ronda Wallace & family
Dr. John and Pat,

We love you!!!
Maryellen and Becky
