I wish I could take the skeptics who say God no longer heals to see what he's doing. We have been experiencing miracles lately through the World Race and it's blowing people away. The deaf hear and the blind see, witnessing the power of divine healing firsthand.

I wish I could take the skeptics who say "God no longer heals" to see what he's doing. We have been experiencing miracles lately through the World Race and it's blowing people away.

As a child, Jacob McLafferty had lost much of his hearing. Last night at training camp, a large group of racers gathered around him and prayed for his hearing to be restored. McLafferty's been wearing hearing aids for most of his life (see the accompanying pictures).

After nearly an hour of prayer, he took the hearing aids out and he could hear! Amazed and overwhelmed, he shouted out, "I AM HEALED!!"

At that point, the place was up for grabs - people shouting and dancing all over the place. I guess that's what you do when sound replaces silence. That's what happens when you discover that God is not distant, but is powerfully involved in the affairs of men.

Over in Ukraine, Hugh Roberts, a racer, prayed for a lady who was virtually blind in her right eye. "I
prayed for her eye to be renewed and for it to be a brand new eye. So
that she could begin to see again as she had in her youth," he said.

Later, Roberts heard from the woman's pastor.  He said that the lady had come to the
church the next day and shared her testimony.  This is what is report:

She woke up the next morning, she was able to see.  Her eye was
completely clear and she was able to see again like she had as a young
girl.  

The name of Jesus has not been drained of its power. God has not left the room. God is still healing people.
