Deaf Mute Girl Healed By Christ
© 98-12 Colin Melbourne
Unable to speak or hear since birth, a Chinese deaf and mute girl is healed by a miracle of Christ.
He hath done all things well: he maketh both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak. Holy Bible Mark 7:37 KJV
Jesus Christ is alive. He does today what He did in Bible days, when people believe in Him like they did in Bible days.
A young educated Chinese mother heard about a Gospel meeting in Malacca, Malaysia, where she lived.
Her family were Chinese Buddhists who worshipped their ancestors, and Guan Yin.
In her family's eyes, to attend the meeting would be foolish. To give up her religion treacherous. But this woman had a problem no religion can fix, one that no medicine can cure, and no man can heal.
Her 11 year-old daughter was totally deaf, and completely unable to speak. She had been since birth.
It was a Full Gospel Business Men's Annual Convention. People had been invited from all over the world.
(The Preacher was an Indonesian ex-Muslim, whom God miraculously healed of a severe boil on his face during a Gospel meeting he went to disrupt. He was a hot-head for Satan, but after he was saved, he became a hot-heart for Jesus, pastoring a church of over 30,000 believers.)
The message was based upon Jesus healing the deaf mute in Mark chapter 7.
That dear Chinese woman was astounded.
I marvel at God's way of working. Most people attending had come at the invitation of the FGBMF, hoping to be blessed. She however, had been drawn by God's Spirit, looking for a miracle. You are not reading this by chance. It was God's Spirit who brought you here to encourage you to receive God's best.
The lady listened wondering if "Jesus can do anything". The well-behaved daughter sat throughout the proceedings within her cocoon of silence.
Can Jesus do anything about your problem? Have you been told you are incurable? Cursed? Beyond hope? Respond like this woman, and you will receive your miracle today
Here's what Jesus did for her. She heard the simple Gospel message, and responded to the invitation. As she went forward to pray to receive Jesus, with a crowd, she took her daughter with her.
After the preacher had led them all to Christ, he said, "Now the same Jesus who died bearing your sins also bore your sicknesses and infirmities."
"If you are sick or infirm receive your healing in just the same way, and begin to do what you couldn't do before."
They all repeated a sincere prayer for healing, and many had hands laid on them in faith.
Nervously, the mother asked the Preacher to lay hands on her daughter.
"What is wrong with her?" he asked. Nobody knew who she was, or why she came, but God knew all about them. He knows all about you too. Call, on Him like this woman did.
"Deaf!" The Mother answered, almost in shame.
The Preacher prayed just like Jesus, and commanded her ears to, "Be open in Jesus' Name!"
For the first time in her life, the little girl heard!
She looked stunned, and nodded vigourously when asked if she could hear now.
The Preacher went on to another new believer, thinking his job was done.
In unrestrained joy, the Mother yelled to him,
"Ask Jesus to make her speak."
"You mean she is mute as well?" the Preacher responded.
Now he looked stunned. (He'd certainly got his sermon right!)
As soon as he prayed, and commanded her to speak in Jesus' Name, her tongue was loosed. She repeated loud and clear all he said.
"Say Jesus."
"Jesus!
"Say Jesus Healed Me."
"Jesus Healed Me."
Praise God, I, Colin Melbourne, am a witness to you of this wonderful miracle of Christ. I stood right next to the girl, and declare to you,
Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever. Heb. 13:8 KJV
Nothing is impossible with Christ.
Just believe, and act on His Word. Be saved and healed now.
