A few months after her miracle she was informed of a pre-cancerous condition in one of her ears…
In my previous article, “The Deaf Hear (Part 1)”, I shared about a woman who received her hearing after years of increasing deafness. This article tells the REAL miracle… A miracle of HER faith.
About two years after seeing the woman receive her hearing I talked to her Pastor and asked about her. He told me the following story…
A few months after her miracle she was examined by a doctor. He informed her he had found a pre-cancerous condition in one of her ears and suggested preemptive surgery. As a follow-up, she spoke to her insurance company and was informed they would pay for the surgery to prevent cancer. However, if she refused surgery and cancer developed, they would not pay for the treatment.
Disturbed, she sought counsel from her Pastor, and then went to prayer… seeking God. After a few days she received a peace on the inside and decided to go through with the surgery.
During the operation the surgeon removed part of her mastoid bone and her ear drum.
Now, anyone knows a person cannot hear without an ear drum.
She can.
“For the earnest expectation of the [creation] waits for the manifestation of the sons of God.” – Romans 8:19
God is the same God He was in the New Testament, and will guide men and women today as He did in the past.
“There are many voices in the world, and none of them is without significance.” – Paul
One mistake some make… They want so badly to be led by the Spirit that they try too hard… and end up wrong.
Many try to hear God with their physical ears. It doesn’t work that way.
He then laid hands on her, prayed for her to receive her sight, and sure enough… she saw…
He showed me exactly what to do, and how to hold her ears.

At the core of relationship is communication.
In your learning experiences you’ll miss His leading. Don’t worry about it… He has it covered.
Don’t be afraid to practice. You have to practice if you want to become proficient at anything.
“Holy Spirit, I have no idea where I would find a fried chicken restaurant, but You know right where one is. Please lead me to it.”
You really don’t have to know HOW to seek God. Just be determined to get the answer you need.
A spectacular leading of the Spirit may not be what you REALLY want.
In all my “works” I found I could produce no eternal value, but in “returning and rest” He was able to speak to me and lead me for His eternal purpose.
Part 2-Incredible miracle, but nothing is impossible with God is what we say yet, how many really believe in their heart that a miracle would really happen if it were you needing it?
