Dodie Osteen was diagnosed with Stage 4 Liver Cancer while a young mother with a short time to live. Even though she was very weak, she took to the Bible to catalog and apply as many healing scriptures as she could. She is alive today at 84 years old with no recurrences of the cancer. She wrote a book about it - Healed of Cancer - with all the scriptures referenced below. The book is available here on Amazon.com.
Below are the verses in the book she used in her healing. Below that are italicized affirmative statements based on the verses added by Bible Bytes. You might like to use these statements, create your own affirmations, memorize the verses and repeat them or any combination.
