J.O.T. & MS. CRYSTAL's performance of J.O.T.'s cancer song a gets big praises from audience at stage play for women's breast cancer!!!! Big shout out & thanks to playwright AHMAD JOHNSON and his extending the opportunity to let J.O.T. perform his cancer testimony song in the stage play "IT AIN'T OVER TIL GOD SAYS IT'S OVER". People of different ages, genders, and cultural backgrounds came up to J.O.T. afterwards and thanked him for sharing his surviving cancer testimony because many of them said that they knew someone close that had cancer or either they had the disease themselves. One man even called J.O.T. after the event was over to ask J.O.T. if he would pray right there on the phone with him for an ASIAN male friend of his who was suffering with cancer. The man said that he was not really a praying person, but knew J.O.T. was because he felt anointing when J.O.T. was sharing his cancer testimony through song and because of this asked J.O.T. to interceed and pray on his behalf for the ill ASIAN male friend. J.O.T. was more than willing to pray for the man because HE knows personally that GOD IS A HEALER and that if it is the LORD's WILL then anyone can be healed through FAITH IN CHRIST!!!!
