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,

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!
Sincere love,
John Watson

Good Morning Dr. John,
Praise God!!!! The SON is shining upon you! III John 3:2 – I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health just as your soul prospers. I pray that the Lord would take 15 years off my life and give it to you. You are a great man of God and a great inspiration to others. For as you continue to lift your eyes unto the hill, your help shall surely come. For He is our HEALER and a might Comforter. I stand in agreement with you for your complete healing.

Pastor John,
These are days of an Open Heaven of great miracles from Jehovah who sits on His Throne. Be encouraged that you are in the palm of HIS hand and He knows all things and you are receiving your miracle. I know the symptoms are tough right now...but this will and is passing. I speak the strength and Life of the Blood of Jesus into every cell in your body and every sinew in your body. I speak to the blood for increase in strength and new cells to pour through your veins. I speak to every organ to be STRONG in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ. Father increase John's appetite for the foods and mineral supplements that will give his body strength. Give him a healthy appetite. Give wisdom on what to eat and touch his digestive system to process that food for healing internally within every area of his body. Lord pull the chemical poisons out of Pastor John's body that are in excess. May the peace and rest of God be upon you and new strength morning by morning. Love and Hugs, Lori and Dom Dougherty
Dr. John and Pastor Pat,
We are praying and believing for Dr Watson's total healing. We Declare Isaiah 58:8 "thine health shall spring forth speedily: and thy righteousness shall go before thee; the glory of the LORD shall be thy rereward." We stand warring with you over every prophetic word from God that you have received concerning the purposes of God for your life in this season. We declare, "You are strong and valiant!" Heb 11:34. We Declare that with long life will HE satisfy you and show you HIS salvation!!!
Love,
Thomas & Shavonne Morain.
DR JOHN,i was at 2am worshiping with the replay of lakelands revival to the song[ i wont relent until YOU have it all my heart is yours. come be the fire inside of me come be the flame upon my heart.while thinking of you and your church i went to your web site and saw what was noted of your health. as im hearing this song and weeping for you and with the previous knowledge of your ministry playing a major part in where i have come to know the lord more greatly. i rememeber my 1st c-cam meeting in columbus where i heard my 1st teaching about the prophetic and apostolic graces on the breakthrough sword and my 1st fire tunnel before my first overnight in marion. the grace you offered me in the early morning snow in the parking lot;i truly enjoyed staying up all night in my car with the lord. i remember during our classes i was a little shy and when i walked into the mens room ,you and i standing next to each other i ask you should i call you john, pastor or apostle and you said i could call you whatever iwanted in your most humerous way.every religious spirit was gone there. you are truly an remarkable family man of God.i was also blessed to have you and your team support my grove city nazerine church in prayer to recieve the prophetic ...Praise God were moving much more nicely then ever as well of great movesof healing an
&mirricles o cancer.Remember thr
e turning of the prophetic key at the statehouse meeting?i believe much of Gods goodness was released then aand still is.JOHN; last week icame across our teaching on the sword from 05 07 2004 as ilistened to it i grabbed my plastic sword and declared breakthroughs over my householdand its happening halleluuahhh.I think the LORD needs to raise up more people who having the great authority over demons and yet be so gentle and humble that its like meeting the Christ in the flesh.Apostle,prophet,pastor&drjohn watson is an inspiration and refference to the Spirit of our Lord; in word and in action my friend all ways gary noltemeyer [student]
