From the beginning of the year at the Worship Altar, we have been grounding ourselves in Understanding the Supernatural and Ministering in the Miraculous. This excerpt from Bill Johnson's book, Dreaming With God, will stimulate your curiosity as we keep pressing in the God's Kingdom of Miracles
THE VALUE OF MYSTERY (The Deaf Praying for The Deaf)
My oldest son, Eric, is 85-90 percent deaf in both ears. He has
an amazing gift for life. He functions beautifully in the “hearing
world” and has never had to learn sign language. His adjustments to life are miraculous, while his self-esteem is unaffected by this handicap. He is strong and Christ-centered. He is our Missions Pastor.
I was fasting and praying for his healing some years ago, and
God spoke to me very clearly that He was going to heal him. It has
happened in the atonement, and will be seen in my lifetime. We
don’t treat it as a someday off in the future God will heal Him kind of thing. We view it as a right now word. Yet he still can’t hear without the assistance of a hearing aid.
It’s interesting that the healing of deafness is one of the most
common miracles I see in my meetings and in our church. Even
more interesting to note is that in the last couple of months Eric has laid hands on two people who were deaf and God opened their ears.
How could that happen without him being healed first? I don’t
know. But I do know that mental offense, stumbling over this apparent contradiction in our minds, will shut down this anointing. That is something we are not willing to do. Eric and I will continue to live in the understanding we have, and embrace the mystery we are required to live with, knowing that God is perfectly faithful and
good beyond measure, all the time. He is worthy of our trust.
