Prostate or Prostrate?
As you have undoubtedly surmised, this month’s topic is prostate health. Initially, when I received the news, I almost tapped out. I mean, seriously, a spiritual take on prostate health? Not wanting to give up, I kept staring at the word prostate and suddenly — I had it!
Several years ago, I was in a church service and the pastor’s sermon opened with these words, “Last night as I sought the Lord, prostate on the ground.” Yes…a humorous mispronunciation gave me the needed inspiration to tackle this month’s subject.
The English language is rife with faux pas, but perhaps none more confusing than homophones.A homophone is a word that sounds like another word, but is spelled different, i.e. very/vary, wait/weight, etc. So, prostate/prostrate offers a unique challenge in it’s own, right!?
The word “prostate” is a noun referring to a gland surrounding the neck of the bladder in the male species responsible for releasing prostatic fluid, while the word “prostrate” is an adjective referring to the action of laying flat on the ground, face down, in reverence or submission. The correlation is revelatory, if we have eyes to see the implication!
The Real PROSTATE Story
Over 30,000 men die of prostate cancer in the U.S. every year. There is mounting controversy over PSA testing, biopsies, surgery on elderly males, etc. Many doctors are now claiming that an overwhelming number of males over the age of 70 have cancer cells present in their prostate gland. However, the ones that bypassed biopsies or surgery lived normal lives and died of natural causes… not related to the prostate!
On the other hand, elderly men who received biopsies and/or surgery suffered from incontinence, impotence and severely compromised quality of life and died prematurely due to prostate cancer!
New evidence is proving that prostate cancer is quickly becoming the most over diagnosed and overly treated malady in America. I am NOT stating that this is always the case. However, I am saying that there are thousands of men who are suffering needlessly because they are misinformed.
The Real PROSTRATE Story
Every month, thousands of people visit this site looking for answers. I am honored to be a part of the consortium of minds offering advice from a myriad of modalities solely dedicated to their ultimate health and transformation.
As previously stated, sometimes it is the simple, unassuming, and unorthodox methods that yield the greatest results. To prostrate oneself means to lie down, to become humble, in an act of reverence or humility. This is the posture of prayer. I believe there are times when medicine is the appropriate solution to the problem. Sometimes a more “holistic” approach is necessary. Still other situations warrant psychological expertise.
Considering the fact that prostate health problems are solely male issues, coupled with the fact that men are “fixers” by nature, it stands to reason that a modality that places the weight upon another “entity” outside of themselves provides an unnaturalhumility which may provide organic faith that can “move mountains” and elicit spontaneous healing.
The Perfect Prostate Story
Alfred Lord Tennyson once said; “More things are wrought by prayer than this world dreams of.”
- Prayer changes things.
- Prayer is an open conversation with God.
- Prayer can heal your body faster than the speed of light!
But, don’t take my word for it. The following documented testimonies will speak for themselves!
“
About mid-July I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. My girlfriend and I began to pray for healing. On Aug 2nd we sought a second opinion from another doctor. He took another blood test. On Aug 6th we came to the Healing Rooms for prayer. The following week my doctor told me that the blood test came back showing a normal reading! Meaning no cancer!”

In December 2010, I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. This wasn’t what I wanted to hear, but because of my faith in God I wasn’t afraid. Prostate blood tests revealed my PSA levels were very high so I had to have monthly blood tests taken. Further tests confirmed Kidney malfunction, which was causing me severe pain in my back and that the cancer had spread to my bones. I was exhausted all the time, only sleeping for around 30 minutes at a time throughout the night because I had a constant need to use the toilet. Added to this, my legs were really swollen and I was breathless after doing the simplest of things, so my mobility was not good, I could hardly walk a hundred yards.In February 2011 my nephew offered to take me to Healing Rooms to be prayed for. By then, my health had deteriorated immensely. My prayer request was just for healing of Prostate and bone cancer.
As I was being prayed for, one of the team had a feeling of breathlessness and asked if I had problems with my breathing. I was surprised at the question because I hadn’t mentioned the breathlessness. I told him that one of the many symptoms I was having was breathlessness. He then asked my permission to put his hand on my back and placed it in the area of my kidneys. As soon as his hand touched my back, I experienced a hot sensation all round where the pain was. Not only that, but instantly my breathing became easier and not as shallow. When the prayer time was over and it was time for me to leave I had a real sense of peace and felt much more comfortable.
A couple of weeks later had a set back and so I was admitted to hospital for nodules removing from my stomach and was also catheterized. I have returned to Healing Rooms in Burnley and in Clitheroe regularly for more prayer and was given a pamphlet with some very helpful scriptures on about healing, to read aloud at home. This has been like God’s medicine for me to take along with my medical treatments.
The catheter was soon removed; I just get the occasional twinge of pain in my back now; my breathing has continued to improve and I am even taking my dog for 4 and 5 mile walks, including gradients! I am also able to help at home by doing some of the ‘chores’ without being left feeling tired out.
In June I had another blood tests done and was expecting to go for the results in July, however I was called into the hospital earlier than I expected. I wondered why, but remembered that one of the Healing Rooms team had told me that they were speaking a good report over me, and the bible says that a good report makes your bones healthy. Proverbs 15:30
The consultant was highly delighted to tell me that my PSA is now 3.5, which is a normal reading, that there has not been any deterioration in my Kidney function so he was not concerned about that. He also said that he would not be doing another blood test for another 4 months! He has confirmed this in writing. Praise God, I know He will complete the work He has begun in me!”
Testimony from K., June 2011

“In May of this year I was diagnosed with an incurable prostate cancer. This was after a P.S.A. reading of 28, 12 biopsies all maxed out at 10, and a CAT scan showing the cancer had jumped into the lymph nodes at the base of my spine. My urologist, a good doctor, told me I was beyond surgery, chemo, or radiation. He prescribed hormone pills and gave me 12 to 24 months to live. But, I believe in the Living God who does all things, including healing! After much prayer from church and friends my wife and I went to the Healing Rooms in Spokane where we were prayed for by four wonderful ladies vested with the full power, authority and anointing of the Holy Spirit. That night we went to a healing ministry visiting Spokane from British Columbia for more prayer. By the time I left Spokane, I was healed! Eight weeks later my second CAT scan revealed NO CANCER that could be identified in my body. My prostate returned to normal and my P.S.A. reduced to 0. Praise the Lord! My urologist, who would never admit a patient going from terminal to cured in eight weeks, now gives me five to seven more years. He undoubtedly needs the time for me to convince him I am healed! Thank you all in the Healing Rooms for your prayers from a now healthy 75 year old.”Testimony from Harvey P. on August 18th, 2007

“
When I first went to the Springfield Healing Rooms the Doctors had told me my PSA # was 37 and that I had Prostate Cancer, after going every 2 weeks for 3 months, the doctors said my PSA # had dropped to 3.5 which is normal, The lord had healed me”Testimony from Joe Z. on June 30th, 2011

Healing Prostate on a Prayer
These testimonies are but a sample of the numerous stories of divine prostate health healings people have received by prayer alone. So, the moral of the story is:
- Instead of trying everything in the world first and prayer last, why don’t you try prayer first and perhaps you won’t need anything else in the world!
Prostrate/prostate, understanding the proper definition of each, may not only save you embarrassment, it might save your life! Assume the position… get low.
“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God that He may exalt you in due time, casting ALL of your cares upon Him, for He cares for you.” ~ 1 Peter 5:6,7
Be Well!
If you would like help in “getting low” before God, find a Healing Room near you for someone to pray with you. How else do you plan on becoming “prostrate?”
