Deafness soon to go?
We had a chance to meet again (Isaac of Ninevah and I) with the Iraqi Muslim man who is partially deaf in both ears. He is the man I wrote the apology letter to (see November 17, 2006 "Apology to a Muslim friend who wasn't healed").
Since returning from our trip where we saw the man healed who was deaf in one ear since birth, I have been trying to meet up with this Iraqi man. I'd hadn't seen him in a while and then I bumped into him a couple of times and suggested we get together.
We were finally able to meet and I was able to share about the deaf ear we saw open earlier in the month. He asked at one point, "...but why couldn't you heal me"? OUCH! Great question and one we HAVE TO let the unbelievers ask us. We are called to accurately represent Christ as "little Christs", doing the VERY works that He did. Jesus NEVER came up short when praying for a deaf ear. He never had to "give excuses". He always got the job done, brought heaven to earth and destroyed whatever work of the devil was staring Him in the face.
Well - the evening ended with a tentative appointment for next week. He wants to be healed. We want to see him healed. God wants to heal him. The only being who is casting an opposing vote is 'you know who'.
We don't want satan winning any more of our "Kingdom elections" - the power of his vote was broken at the Cross. We intend to see Jesus get what He paid for!
