Holding on to God’s Promise: A Testimony of a Family Standing in Faith
This is a testimony recounted by the mother of L.J. Williams who was healed of cystic fibrosis.
First, let me explain cystic fibrosis. It is a progressive genetic disorder that affects and damages the lungs, pancreas, and digestive system. There is no medical cure. Life expectancy is shortened with many illnesses requiring hospitalizations due to lung disease.
My son was a miracle from the day of conception. I was told I would never conceive a child naturally and medical intervention would be required. However, he defied all odds by being conceived naturally and coming into this world weighing 10 pounds 8 ounces and 22.5 inches long. From the day he was born, he became a fighter, an overcomer of all the plans of the enemy. He was unable to suck, drink, and eat properly. Motor skill disorders affected his whole body including speech, failure to thrive normally, and chronic illnesses. As a fighter, he made it over each hurdle. The only persistent issue that lingered were chronic illnesses. That’s when he was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis. Our whole world changed. It was filled with many medications, breathing treatments, and a vest that shook mucus from his lungs. Our lives revolved around his treatments because his life depended on them. He was very sickly, unable to grow, and continued to lose weight. We started homeschooling because public school germs were killing him.
But God!
In 2019, we were invited to the Summersville Outpouring in Summersville West Virginia. At the time, my son was 8 years old. My family and I went to church, but it never stirred our spirits like this revival did. We were awakened to the power of the Holy Spirit and healing. My husband began declaring healing over our son saying he was not accepting the doctor’s reports. As the revival continued, my son at the age of 8, walked up to the altar and asked for prayer for healing. In that moment, all who were there knew they had witnessed a miracle. As a family, we stood on the promise of his healing. Our faith would soon be put to the test as the enemy attacked.
As the 10-week revival continued, so did his illnesses, but we stood in faith and God’s Word. There was a song I would play and speak over him daily that said, “It’s Your breath in our lungs, so we pour out our praise to You only.” This little boy loved God, and he loved to worship Him. Even through the illnesses, he believed in his healing, and we stood as a family with him. On the last night of revival, he once again went up to the altar and received prayer. The power of the Holy Spirit came upon him, and you could physically see a difference in him. His breathing was different and once he had a moment to process it all he said, “Mom, God spoke to me and told me I was healed!”
This was November of 2019 and from that day on, we have seen his healing manifest little by little. Lung Function improved, “irreversible” lung damage healed, and chronic illnesses stopped. By 2021, the doctors downgraded his diagnosis of cystic fibrosis to cystic fibrosis related disorder. Medications, breathing treatments, and vest treatments stopped and only used as needed. As a family, we held on tight to God’s promise of healing.
In November of 2024, 5 years later, my son is 13 years old. He stands at 5 foot 9 inches tall. He is healthy, strong, and healed. Lung function is 112%. All lung damage gone. Although we knew he was healed, his medical care and doctor visits continued for 5 years before they would run the tests that proved complete healing. Finally, the waiting was over! After standing on God’s promise for 5 years, and standing in faith as a family, medical documented proof came. L.J. Williams is HEALED of cystic fibrosis, an incurable disease, removed from his body! All effected areas are restored to perfect health! The cystic fibrosis clinic discharged him from their care.
We were a family holding on to God’s promise, standing in faith, and then seeing His promise fulfilled.
Hold On!
