If your church is not spiritually dead, it is
possible to have witnessed a supernatural miracle or heard the
testimony of someone who was healed from a sickness or injury. Jesus
encountered a funeral procession on the way to the city of Nain,
touched the corpse and supernatural power surged through that dead
man’s body and brought him back to life. Jesus also heard that
Lazarus was sick and purposely waited until he died before He
decided to do something about it. Unlike the man from Nain, Lazarus
had been in the grave for several days and his body was starting to
decompose and stink. Resurrecting the dead was not limited exclusively to
Jesus as Peter also was called to the house of a godly woman in
Joppa that had passed away. Peter looked upon the body of Dorcas,
commanded her to rise up, and same resurrection power surged through
her body as she too came back to life. Jesus said the miracles that
He did, we would do as well, and greater still. The ability to raise
the dead is one of the gifts given to believers in Christ. Now Jesus
never intended for us to visit every cemetery but we are to
selectively raise people from the dead at the prompting of the Holy
Spirit. The question remains, are you ready to utilize that
resurrection power and bring someone back to life? |
