About Lincoln Wentworth Lawson

In high school, Lincoln Wentworth Lawson saw a one-act performance of Camelot and

could not stop dreaming about it. He didn’t want to be an actor, exactly. He wanted to be

in Camelot. Only years later would he understand why: in the story, Sir Lancelot kneels

over a knight he has struck down in a joust, and through prayer, brings him back to life.

That dream carried him into the theater. He earned a Kennedy Center scholarship

sponsored by Irene Ryan — Granny of The Beverly Hillbillies — and majored in theater

performance at a performing arts program in Georgia. He understudied the Ghost of

Hamlet’s father with the Atlanta Classical Theater, signed with an agent and began

booking commercials.

Then came the break. An open casting call for an Uncle Ben’s Rice commercial, looking for

five athletic men to row a raft down a river, earned him his first national spot, his Screen

Actors Guild card and his first flight in first class. Soon after, a chance meeting in New

York led to a last-minute audition for Bad Company, a Joel Schumacher film starring

Anthony Hopkins and Chris Rock. Lincoln arrived at nine in the morning in a black suit he

had bought for the occasion. Schumacher took one look and told his assistant director,

“This is the one.” Cast as CIA Officer Parish, he spent six months on the film: two in

Prague, where he flew on a private jet for the first time, and the rest in New York and New

Jersey.

The doors kept opening. Working under the stage name DeVone Lawson Jr. and signed by

Don Buchwald & Associates, he booked more than twenty national commercials and

appeared on television series including Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, The West Wing,

The Sopranos, The O.C. and The Bold and the Beautiful. It was a short career, but a real one,

long enough to earn him a Screen Actors Guild retirement.

And yet something was missing.  

Lincoln walked away from Hollywood and went into the woods of North Carolina, where

he spent seven years in prayer and meditation. There, he began to see visions of healing

people and healing animals. The dream of Lancelot’s miracle was no longer a role to play.

It was a calling.

Led by those visions, he spent four years serving with an international healing ministry,

traveling the world and serving as lead coordinator for a crusade in Mexico. In a dream

during those years, the great healing evangelist Kathryn Kuhlman appeared to him and

handed him a gift: a convertible Mercedes. “I’m giving you something I barely used,” she

told him. He understood the car as a ministry — the personal, one-on-one healing

ministry that would become his own.

On July 7, 2015, Lincoln was taken up to heaven. There, he was struck by what he

describes as liquid electricity, and he returned changed: seeing detailed visions, and

feeling the pain of the people he ministers to. In September 2016, in Tanzania, Jesus

appeared to him in a vision and placed a mantle around his shoulders, and his hands lit up

with fire. From that mantle came the name of his ministry.

The Mexico crusade opened his heart to the Mexican people, and they invited him back.

In Xalapa, he began standing outside the CEM hospital every day from 3:30 in the

afternoon until 9:00 at night, praying for anyone who came: patients, hospital staff, and

families visiting their loved ones. Word spread, and soon hundreds of people were lining

up each day. He called it the Hospital Healing Line.

From that line on the sidewalk came a church. He named it the Hospital Healer Church,

and it grew to more than 8,000 members before COVID.

Today, Prophet Lincoln leads the Miracle Mantle Ministry, The Right Hand of God, home

of Called to Heal the Sick. and Cancer Is Cancelled. He has ministered in stadium crusades

across Africa, served as a wellness advisor for healing to the royal family of Saudi Arabia,

ministered healing to elephants in Botswana and horses in Mexico, and conducted

thousands of healing sessions in person and by video call around the world.

The boy who dreamed of Camelot never got to play Lancelot.

He was called to something greater.
