Restored Hearing

Just wanted to tell a story of what God has been doing in my life recently. He has just restored the hearing in my right ear.

Around the Memorial Day Holiday, I was taking a shower and washing my face and head. I put my head under the water to rinse off and when I pulled it back, I lost the hearing in my right ear. I thought that maybe some water had gotten into it and I tried to get it out. I hit the side of my head with my hand. I pulled it up, down and every direction. Nothing. I yawned, tried to blow my nose, everything I could think of to get it unclogged. Still nothing. So I just started praying to Jesus to heal me and my ear.

A few days later it started to get better, then once again while in the shower, it happened again. This time it got worse. It has stayed that way for the last few weeks. I could barely hear anything. I knew that I could still hear because I would put the phone up to my ear and hear the person talking. It sound all muffled and screetchy. But it still worked.

I kept on praying for God to heal me. I figured that if he could heal the ear of the man that Peter slashed  off , He could do it for me.

My family kept on pushing me to go to the doctor. They were tired of my saying "Ehh" all the time. I have an appointment with my doctor next weekend (July 13). I figured if it didn't get any better by then, I would bring it up to her when I went for my other appointment.

So my wife, daughter and I went camping over the 4th of July weekend. We came home and I hopped in the shower. When I got out and was drying off, I noticed that my hearing was back to normal. I tested it a couple of different ways. Put things that made noise up to my ear. Crystal clear. Praise the LORD!!  Needless to say, I was a little apprehensive to take my next shower. FYI, the next mornings shower, no ill effects.

He healed my ear and restored  my hearing, like I had been praying for and believing for. I didn't need any doctor, I just needed to have faith in Jesus that He would heal me. And He did! He has gotten all the glory and praise from me for it.
