In this sermon, the speaker recounts a personal ministry experience in Tijuana, Mexico, where a woman brought her stubborn husband to a service after years of prayer. During the service, a blind boy—later revealed to be the husband's son—was miraculously healed, gaining sight in his eye. Witnessing this miracle softened the father's hardened heart, leading him to come forward during the altar call. The speaker uses this story to argue that divine demonstrations of power can be effective tools for softening hearts and advancing the gospel, while emphasizing that miracles are not a substitute for the full gospel message but rather sovereign instruments God may employ.

Chapters

I'll never forget when I was in TJ, Mexico, and a woman had brought her husband to the service where I was ministering. She had been praying for him for years. He was very stubborn, resistant. Somehow she was able to convince him to come to this service. So during the service, I began to pray for the sick as I do. And in that service, a little boy was healed. He was blind in one eye, came to the front and testified of how he was now able to see. He was crying. We were testing him. We were rejoicing. I'll tell you, there was faith in that room as we heard this little boy share his testimony. And then that night during the altar call, the man who saw that little boy healed came to the altar. And that was the husband that the woman had brought. She'd been praying for him for quite a while. But what I didn't know until a little bit later was that that little boy was that man's son. He saw Jesus open his son's eye. When he saw Jesus open his son's eye, his heart that was hard softened. Never underestimate the power of a miracle. Never forget that demonstrations of power can be used as you share the gospel. Now, I'm not saying, and please hear me clearly on this, I am not saying that if it wasn't the result of seeing a miracle, that it wasn't the full gospel message. No. I'm saying that demonstrations of power are tools that God can sovereignly use to soften the heart of those who are hearing the gospel.
