In his words:

"40 days and 40 nights ago I was informed that I had an oral cancer. Needless to say, I was rocked to the core. But I knew long before that I had an "ONGOING" relationship with Jesus, My Angels, The Holy Spirit and God, and that relationship has NEVER failed me. I was in relationship with a God who never forsook me - especially when I needed Him the most."

According to the cancer survivor, his lifelong covenant with God is for the latter to use him to represent his continued power.

He said:

"That's when my declaration shifted to God do what You need to do, God bring who you need to bring, God use whatever you need to use to heal me. My lifelong covenant with You is use me to represent Your Continued Power, Your Mighty Presence and Your Magnificent Glory."
