She was born with a deformed hip and deformed ear. There was lots of crying, begging. But there came a time in that part of my life where I realized that is just unbelief. Emotions come and go, but emotions (nor even needs!) drive ANY form of salvation, including healing. After we had cried our eyes out, I finally admitted that was doing NOTHING but making our lives miserable. I wanted something that WORKED. I made a decision, that's all. That decision was I was going to take God at His word if it literally killed us all. We kept meditating on the Word of God. I read everything I could get my hands on from people who were having SUCCESS at healing the sick. <br /><br />One morning I was reading F.F. Bosworth's book, "Christ the Healer" and he wrote something that just seemed to drop in my heart... He just quoted, "Jesus Christ, the SAME, yesterday, TODAY, and forever." The Jesus of the gospels has not changed. He is EXACTLY the same. "Alright," I said, "how did parents approach Jesus on behalf of their children in the gospels?" I was amazed to find out.<br /><br />For example, the woman who asked Jesus to heal her daughter and Jesus ignored her! Jesus called the healing of her daughter "children's bread." That means the bread (healing) BELONGS to the God's children. She argued with Jesus! She said that even though she was a Gentile (a dog in His metaphoric response), that even the dogs got the crumbs under the table and that a crumb of this bread was enough to heal her daughter.<br /><br />My advice? Meditate on those passages. Let them become real, instead of just verses in the Bible. Get MAD (sense of justice!), not SAD (self pity and defeat). Don't get mad at God, get mad at the deafness. COMMAND it to obey like David told Goliath. Jesus told us to SPEAK to the mountain and IT WILL OBEY. It has no choice. ESPECIALLY get your husband involved. Don't EVER give up.<br /><br />One other thing. What would you do to a person who came into your house to attack your daughter? Would you beg God to get them out of your house and lay in a pile until He did? No! You would kick, scream, throw things, shoot, etc. etc. that person yourself until YOU drove him out of your house! It is the same thing. The deafness is an ENEMY of God... just like Goliath. It is not YOU against deafness, it is God.QuantumGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410047060125951426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278360302231776916.post-39912366081663018072012-08-23T03:57:36.055-07:002012-08-23T03:57:36.055-07:00Hi Greg,

Always believed in healing, had one or two minor breakthroughs when praying for people but never stepped out that much into it. <br /><br />Now my husband and I are thrust into this awful situation: my 11 year old daughter has suddenly lost all her hearing. All of a sudden I'm reading everything I can on healing: I've read Roger Sapp's books.<br /><br />Do you have any advice for a suffering parent? Like how to put these awful emotions to one side, and resist the temptation to just sob and beg God to heal (which seems the only natural thing to do but just isn't the bibical way of healing). It's so hard to get past that. How did you and your wife do that?<br />Raynorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17420183400067049854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278360302231776916.post-58563072527441114052012-02-22T04:49:12.913-08:002012-02-22T04:49:12.913-08:00Anonymous, most of us Christians have the same des...Anonymous, most of us Christians have the same desire and experiences you are having. I did most of my life too. What you might be surprised to know is that you are not lacking faith at all. You're a Christian! You already believe in Jesus. When the disciples asked Jesus to increase their faith He told them about the mustard seed. Mustard seed is incredibly tiny. He was telling them they didn't need more faith; they already had enough because only a mustard-seed-sized faith can move a mountain! So, you don't need more faith.<br /><br />Instead, what you need is simply to remove the doubts. Doubts and faith pull in opposite directions. Doubts are in our heads. This is why the apostle Paul tells us to renew our MINDS (not our spirits). Our minds are logical and reasoning, so to trap a doubt, you simply have to corner it in your mind by logic and reason.<br /><br />Here's how: Being a Christian you already believe the Bible is the Word of God and that it contains the truth. Therefore if you can trap a doubt you have by watching Jesus (reading / studying the gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John), your doubt won't have anywhere to go.<br /><br />For instance, I used to wonder if physical healing was included in the cross. I already knew forgiveness of sins was included in the cross and therefore it was freely offered to all. I thought if physical healing was included in the cross as well, then I would have to also say that it, too, was freely offered to all. So I read books and studied the Word of God until I was convinced that the Bible indeed teaches healing is in the cross! What happened to my doubt? Well, since I believe the Bible is the truth, IT HAD NOWHERE TO GO; IT WAS TRAPPED.<br /><br />Is healing in the cross? My mind would say, "Well, I don't know..." but then I would shake my head and think, "It certainly is, I just proved it to myself." The doubt died because it didn't have anywhere to go.<br /><br />Therefore, Anonymous, I'm going to recommend you buy a book called, "Performing Miracles & Healing" by Roger Sapp. It is a very thorough study of healing in the New Testament. You can order it from http://www.allnationsmin.org. But in fact there is a ton of FREE material up on Roger's site that you download!<br /><br />If you can't afford the book, let me know, and I'll see if I can send you one.QuantumGreghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07410047060125951426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7278360302231776916.post-48119073717451365672012-02-21T11:00:27.530-08:002012-02-21T11:00:27.530-08:00Hi dont know if im doing this right, but i look at...Hi dont know if im doing this right, but i look at your blog every week. I find it encouraging! I want to believe soo badly, but my faith seems to be lacking.

I ...Greg, about the healing of your daughter Kayla. I have found that as we are faithful in what we know, stepping out and commanding the healing, that a door will open elsewhere and God will give us a word of wisdom, a specific action plan that once followed will result in healing.<br /><br />So keep contending. Keep fighting. Never give up or back down.
