Dr. Jack Deere is a healer. By the power of the Spirit, and for the glory of the living and active God, he has healed many. He isn’t insane, isn’t a faker, doesnt want your money, he’s not on TV and doesn’t wear a purple suit… He’s been a pastor for decades, speaks Greek/Hebrew/Aramaic/German, taught Seminary for a decade, and probably knows all your arguments against the fact that the gifts of the Spirit are still for today better than you (because he knows the Bible and doesn’t dismiss teachings from the Word because weirdos and fakers often twist and distort it for their gain). Join us for part 1 of our 2 conversations with Jack Deere and listen while we discuss common objections to the miraculous gifts, his own disdain for the gifts in his younger years as a seminary professor, how he became convinced of the gifts from reading his Bible (rather than from what he did or didn’t see), how he was used by God to heal a young blind woman, share some prophetic utterances, speak on the friendship with God, and more.
“When my good friend Dr. Jack Deere asked me in 1992 to read and critique the manuscript of his book, Surprised by the Power of the Spirit (Zondervan, 1993), I was at first honored and later overwhelmed by its persuasive and, in my opinion, irrefutable argumentation.” – Sam Storms
“Jack Deere offers mature insights learned from Scripture, from enduring testing, and from a wider range of experience with spiritual gifts than most others, and we have much to learn from him” – Craig Keener
