LADY EVANGELIST FAILS TO RAISE THE DEAD.....I believe in Raising the Dead!

RAISING THE DEAD

Introduction

Raising the dead is a unique work of the Holy Spirit that bring joy men, to the immediate family and friends of the deceased.

The grace to bring this miracle to pass is given to every believer in Christ and I want to say here that you can also raise the dead if you have the faith to do so.  If you have a strong faith in the power of God to do the impossible and your purpose is to glorify Him in that situation, you can pray for the dead to come back alife.

Every time the dead was brought back alife in the bible, it was to glorify the Lord and bring relief to the people.  When apostle Peter raised Dorcas (Tabitha), a disciple in Joppa back to life, the church invited him to help them as the woman was full of good works.  Peter simply kneeled down and prayed, and afterwards, commanded her to arise - Acts 9: 36-43.

That prayer is actually to consult with the Lord to glorify Himself in the situation.  Jesus before He commanded Lazarus to come forth, had prayed to the Father and received approval -  John 11:41-45.   

This report from social media with its picture evidence shows we have zealous Evangelists around.  A bold Lady Evangelist prayed to God for almost an hour to raise a dead woman back to life and nothing happened.

Though some commentators are expressing misgivings because of her failure, such comments are not necessary.  It is her duty to pray, if she has faith, especially if she heard from the Lord to embark on such a prayer.  

The truth is that if you did not get the express permission of the Lord before you start some levels of ministration, you are on your own.  If the purpose is to show-off your spiritual prowess, gain popularity, and not to glorify His name, He is not obligated to answer you.

Again, if the purpose is for 'showmanship', you can be sure the Lord will not have any business with such.  From the narration, the Lady wanted the young man to believe that she was sent to minister to him.  But after an hour or more, she gave up on praying for the dead.

No one knows what went wrong with the Evangelist's prayer and faith, but I know from experience that God is a perfect God and everything He does is perfect.  Some years back, I was told my mum was not feeling well.  They gave her phone to talk to me and she told me she was not strong and my senior sister took her to her house.

My Experience

The next day, I decided to travel to know what the problem was, but before I got to my sister's place, she passed on.  I was shocked and devastated, and as a minister of God, I decided to pray for her to rise from the dead because I did not believe she was indeed dead.

I asked my sister to take me to where she is laid.  I took my Anointing oil and the Bible with me.  She opened the room, but before I started to pray, I asked the Lord whether I should pray for her or not.  Then the Lord answered me with a question:  The Lord asked "If she rises up now, what more can she still do? Will you go back to Abuja with her?  

With the questions, the idea to pray for her dried-up in my heart.  It became clear to me that the Lord is simply saying to me "Allow her to rest".  She is old and tired at about 90 years old.  

The story

A Twitter User, Mykael Udy, has narrated his experience and shock at the delusion of a Lady preaching the Gospel. The Twitter User said he was walking out of Isolo General Hospital and when a Lady approached him and wanted to preach the Gospel. He responded by telling her to take the Gospel to the sick people in the hospital who needed healing.

The lady insisted that she was directed to him by the Holy Spirit to preach the gospel and to prove it, she would raise a dead body at the Hospital. He found the challenge interesting and watched the whole attempt at resurrection. As they were having their conversation, a car came into the Hospital carrying a dead person. She asked if the person was truly dead and said that they would witness the Power of Jesus.

The Dead Lady was stretchered out and the Lady began commanding and praying for her to Wake up. This went on for 50 minutes. She then began to weep and ask the Holy Spirit not to forsake her, trying for another 35 minutes. Conceding defeat, she told the husband of the Lady "Sorry for your Loss."

As she walked out of the Hospital, He heard her say "Jesus, why didn't you answer me?" The man then complained about how dangerous religious delusions can be.

CONCLUSION

Friends, the King (JESUS CHRIST) is coming.  The question is "Where will you spent eternity - in heaven or hell". This is the time to work out your salvation...Now is the acceptable time.  

If you have not yet received Jesus as Lord and Saviour of your life, say this short prayer:

Raise your right hand up unto the Lord and say: “Father, in the name of Jesus, I come before you now. I confess that I am a sinner. Lord, forgive me and cleanse me with your blood. Lord Jesus, come into my life, take control of my life, in Jesus name.”
