JACK COE contracted tropical malaria at the age of twenty-six and his weight had now dropped from 230 to 135 pounds. He was literally skin and bones. Once his fever shot up to 106 degrees, then remained there for fifty-four hours. His spleen and liver swelled to twice their normal size, producing pain so great that Coe would bite his tongue until it bled.
Finally, when the fever broke enough for Coe to understand conversation, the doctors
told him of his condition. They saw there was nothing they could do for him, so after a few
days, he was discharged and sent home to his family.
"Now, God, what shall I do?" was his earnest prayer.
The Lord's answer was, "Ive called you to preach the Gospel. Go out and preach it!"
For a while, Coe would appear to be well, then another malaria attack would bring him down. Strong chills and a high fever brought the man to his knees. It was difficult for him to maintain a normal life. The intense pain in his spleen and liver was almost unbearable. Juanita would sit with him for hours, applying ice packs to comfort him.
Finally, Coe thought he could stand it no more. Feeling it was her husband's time to
die, Juanita left their trailer in tears. It was then that Coe began to repent as the Lord
showed him different things. This went on for some time, and Coe began to feel inwardly
free. "All right Lord, I'm ready to go now," were his words toward the end of this time. A
voice spoke back to his heart, "You're ready to go, but you don't have to."
Then suddenly, Coe felt as if he were covered with warm oil from head to toe as the Lord spoke, "You are
healed now."
Coe jumped out of bed. He grabbed his wife, who by this time, was asleep near him
and shouted, "Honey! Honey! I'm healed! I'm healed!"
The next night, despite harassing thoughts from the devil, Coe dressed and preached
on the street. Three people were saved. Later that same year, the Assemblies of God
ordained him into the ministry. Coe would never have another attack of malaria -
God had truly healed him!
