“I knew he cared about me as a person. I also admitted to him how much pain I was in. He prescribed morphine, but it knocked me out. Finally, our oldest son, Mike, said, ‘Mom, the dose is too strong for you.’ He tried cutting it in half, but it was still too much. I took a quarter of a pill and that cut the pain without putting me to sleep.” A Green Light The day after Christmas, Charlie and Diane met with the doctor to get the results of the tests. Before going inside, they both agreed that nothing they heard could move them off the truth that she was already healed by Jesus’ stripes. “The cancer has spread to your lungs,” he said, “but the majority is in your liver. There are a lot of nerves in your liver and it appears that the tumors are wrapped around them. We can give you a better quality of life if we shrink those tumors.” At that moment, it seemed as though God flipped a switch in Diane. She had a green light that seemed to say, Do whatever he suggests. “OK,” Diane agreed, “what do we need to do?” “I need you to gain some weight. I want you on a 2400-calorie diet.” “If you get rid of the nausea, I’ll be happy to eat. But I can’t eat if I feel sick all the time.” Within a week and a half, Diane had had a port inserted and had gone through her first chemotherapy treatment. After her first treatment, the pain and nausea disappeared. And then her tumor markers dropped from over 200 to 28.9. It was as though the cancer was dematerializing. “Is this normal?” Diane asked the nurse. “No, Diane, it isn’t. Tumor markers don’t drop like this.” Still, going through the side effects was no picnic. It’s a good thing this wasn’t Diane and Charlie’s first faith adventure. During a long stand for children, Diane had given birth to a son and then lost the next child to a tubal pregnancy. After standing for five long years, Diane got pregnant again—and started bleeding. “Charlie and I had to dismiss the bleeding and every sign of a miscarriage,” Diane explains. “We took a bold stand on God’s Word and gave birth to our son Ryan. This was similar in that the side effects from chemo screamed at me, but I refused to listen. I became so weak that Charlie had to help me up the stairs while I shouted, ‘Let the weak say I am strong!’ “I suffered tremendous sinus pain, back pain and chest pain. Some nights I wanted to wake Charlie and beg him to take me to the ER so they could knock me out. Instead, I said, ‘If Paul and Silas could sing after being beaten, I can praise God now.’ I worshipped God through the pain. “By the end of March, my tumors were virtually nonexistent. My strength and energy had returned. I saw a new doctor to get the results of my CT scan and she started laughing. I asked what she was laughing about. She said my CT showed significant response and a significant reduction in tumors. She said, ‘I rarely hear that word being used. The tumors in your liver and lungs are virtually nonexistent and there’s nothing in your lymphatic system.’ “I was so grateful to God that I cried like a silly baby. I tried calling Charlie to give him the report but got his voicemail.” Back in 1988, Charlie had ridden motorcycles with the Christian Motorcycle Association. Bill Britt, with the Full Gospel Motorcycle Association International, came to one of their meetings. He told them that Kenneth Copeland was going to hold a motorcycle rally and asked for volunteers to walk the property and pray. Charlie Huff signed up. “I didn’t realize when I walked along KCM’s property and prayed, that it was part of my destiny,” Charlie remembers. “Partnership with KCM means everything to us. Without their teaching, our lives would have been very different. We’re so grateful for all that we’ve learned through Kenneth and Gloria. Our lives have never been the same.” These days, Diane has been studying Mark 5, about the woman with an issue of blood. Jesus said, “Your faith has made you whole; be free of your plague.” “That verse has taken on a new meaning to me,” Diane explains. “It means that you don’t have the disease anymore. But when you’re whole, there isn’t any evidence that it was ever there.” Charlie and Diane Huff are happy to report that Diane is whole.
