Tommy figured he would have to borrow against their house for his son to go on, but he was willing to do it. When he prayed about it the Lord said, 'I’m your Daddy and I’m his Daddy.'
“Dad,” Brad said, “I’ve been offered a full ride to medical school. All I have to do is agree to work in a rural area for two years after I graduate.”
“But…” Tommy said, sensing his son’s hesitation.
“Well, I want to be a surgeon. If I take the scholarship I won’t be able to specialize.”
“Then don’t take it,” Tommy said. “God’s your Daddy.”
Faith for a Miracle
The summer before he began medical school, Brad began coughing up blood. A local doctor took an X-ray and found a spot on Brad’s lung, so Tommy and Pam took him to see a pulmonary specialist.
In the exam room they found Brad wearing a mask. The doctor pointed to the X-ray they’d brought from home and the one he’d just taken. Both revealed a spot the size of a half dollar on his lung.
“There won’t be any medical school for him,” the doctor said handing the two of them masks. “He’s got tuberculosis. You’re all being quarantined.” With that he left the room.
Brad turned to his father.
“You’ve been preaching to me about healing for years,” he said. “It’s time to put up or shut up.”
Tommy and Pam prayed the glory of God down in that room and released their faith for Brad’s healing. A while later the doctor returned. “Would you please take another X-ray?” Tommy asked.
“You can see that both these X-rays show the same thing.”
“I know, but I would appreciate it if you’d take another.”
The doctor put the third X-ray on the light box next to the other two. It didn’t take a medical degree to see that there was no spot on the last one.
“We believe in God,” Tommy explained.
The doctor, who they later learned was an atheist, stormed out of the room.
