Forty Years of Silence
During a conference, Jack Deere was part of a ministry team praying for the sick. A woman came forward who had been deaf in her right ear since childhood - over 40 years of deafness.
As they prayed, Deere felt a specific impression to pray for the restoration of the hearing nerves. They commanded healing in Jesus' name. Nothing seemed to happen immediately, and the woman left, appearing disappointed.
Hearing Her Husband Breathe
The next morning, she rushed back to find Deere. During the night, she had woken to a strange sensation in her deaf ear. She could hear her husband's breathing for the first time in their marriage. She heard her alarm clock on that side. Her hearing had been completely restored.
Theology Bows to Reality
Medical examinations later confirmed what she already knew - the ear that had been deaf for over four decades now had full hearing. The doctors had no explanation.
Deere writes: "I had been taught that God doesn't heal like this anymore. But when you see a 40-year deaf ear hear, theology has to bow to reality."
