Mark 11:24 is VERY specific about this promise. It reads;
"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours."

No conditions, no boundaries, no maybes. You pray for it, believe that you'll get it and it's yours. No buts about it.
But the apologists will make up all kinds of lies and BS to defend the fact that nothing ever happens.
My favorite is the brainless morons that claim I'm taking this quote "out of context" Is a fecking promise you idiots! How can that possibly be taken out of context?
Answer; it can't.

I will not patronized to say I understand the things you experience due to your illness... I will say however that there are things that happen in our lives that we cannot explain. When it comes on to praying I have seen some miracles that occur through prayer and one that have vaused doctors to be in amazement. God answers all prayers His answers are yes, no or wait. God says no if the request is not His will for our lives or if we are not ready etc... yes is simple, wait is simple but hard to do. Sometimes the answer is yes but our unbelief (lack of faith is a hindrance).... I will pray with you that his will is done but more importantly I will pray that you will and can accept His answer whatever it is. No matter the answer it is His perfect will concerning your life. If it is not a favorable answer ask Him then what is His will for you in your illness.

Honestly, look at all the replies you've gotten.
I do believe you can be cured. I think the bible verse you quoted is right on!
However, you asked the wrong question. Instead of saying Let's test God, just say please pray for me.
The more people praying for you, the stronger God hears our voice. But it starts with YOU and your faith, not ours.
It is through faith, not doubt, that prayers are answered. I will, however, pray for you...maybe your ears won't heal, but I have a feeling something in your life might. Surround yourself with good, and you will find it will come back to you.

I'm very sorry about you suffering from such a disease.
Prayers do not necessarily get answered rght away...because God makes things happen for a reason. Maybe this particular prayer will be answered in a few years...when God is ready ...not when you are. The reason for such a delay could be to make you learn how to genuinely pray....among other reasons.

Mark 11:24 Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.
Mark 11:25 And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
Mark 11:26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
1thess 5:17 Pray without ceasing.
James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
Matt 18:19 Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
Matt 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

It sounds like you don't even have faith in God, tell me if your worst enemy came to you and told you that you meant nothing to him and that you aren't worthy for his Constance praise and thanks, that he will only turn to you during his time of need, then would you jump on the band wagon to helping him, when in the end he just going to hate you more? God doesn't give you something just because you want it. Just like real life, you have to earn it. the only different is the only thing God wants is your faith. And if you cant have that in him continuously, then what is he suppose to do. You have your own free will. So don't blame God because now you need something from him, but you have not giving him the one and only thing he wants from you. FAITH!!!
If it was you, everyone who talks **** about you and mocks you could kiss your *** to. The difference God still loves you!!!! Get some true Faith and see what happens. He also has a reason for things that happen, mabe you (unfortunally) going deaf was a blessing, but youll never know till you open your eyes and see the world they way your suppose to.

Are you a born again Christian? Have you been saved by the blood of Jesus Christ? God answers the prayers of His children. And only then in His time and in His way. Are you a child of God?
Besides scripture says we are not to put God to the test. You certainly don't talk like a Christian.

God hears all prayers and He will answer them if they are sincere and from your heart to His. Now when He answers them it does not mean you will receive it the next day, it may come years later, but it may not come the way you wanted it too. It will come the way God sees fit for your needs. I believe in prayer and I will pray for you also. God Bless.

You'll notice Christians make the excuse "it must not have been God's will to heal you" then why does the bible say different?
...all things are possible...blah blah ... and if you have the faith of the size of a mustard seed , you can move a mountain ..etc etc ...
I've heard Christians and a few Christian web sites say "data shows people have a higher rate of cures if they were prayed for and blah blah ... " and, like so many other christian urban myths, it just ain't so. there IS NO DATA that shows that. I just heard a news piece about it on public radio over the weekend. the data shows NO DIFFERENCE. It goes in the same bin with "Darwin recanted on his deathbed!" Christian urban myth
