here tonight.” We must remember Christ’s words: “For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them” (Matt. 18:20). Someone once asked me if I thought people are actually being healed in a particular television minister’s meetings. They asked because they see some people who do not seem to be all that excited after they say God healed them. I said, “There are two groups. One group is healed and totally shocked, are often jumping and crying. The other group is from mainline denominations and actually expected the healing to occur; they are not as surprised and simply are grateful from their heart.” For example, when I was eighteen years old, I was preaching a revival in Carmi, Illinois. One night I called for a prayer line to minister to the needs of people. I recall a distinguished Baptist woman who came for prayer. She was deaf in one ear and partially deaf in the other ear. I prayed for her and commanded the “deaf spirit” to come out (Mark 9:25). Suddenly her deaf ear popped open! She could suddenly hear completely in both ears, and she said, “Wow, my ears just popped open and I can hear again. Praise the Lord! Thank you.” And then she quietly walked away. I was anticipating that at any moment she would either break out into a Baptist breakdance or run down the aisle! I asked the Lord why she didn’t get all that excited. I sensed the Holy Spirit saying, “Because she knew that when you prayed, she would be healed, thus she was not surprised.” She had a word ( rhema ) from the Word ( logos ) of God, and faith comes when you hear the rhema (Word) of God!
