I've had some great chats today with different people...
Heres a story from a friend of mine when he was a pastor... He was preaching and an old lady died. This is funny because he can preach for long times. But anyway, they took her out the back into the prayer room. Two nurses from the congregation (one who worked in palative care) came out and checked her out. After examining her they pronounced her dead. So they called the ambulance. Then one man from the congregation came to see what was going on. "She's passed away." They told him. He said, "I wont allow that!" He put his arms around her and said "Come alive in Jesus name." He put her back down and she woke up. This happend in Melbourne for all the skeptics out there and no we dont have medical reports because they acted as soon as the issue rose...
At the time he said that the Holy Spirit stuff was all new to him and he had no idea what was going on half the time. He wasn't even the person who prayed for her and he was the pastor. So 1) Holy Spirit stuff is messy 2) Dont stress if you dont know whats happening its part of the chaos 3) God can use you even if you're not sure whats going on! 4) God raised Jesus from the dead, and He still does the same thing today!

I also learnt of someone who sometimes gets in the line of fire for me. Thanks if you're reading this! I appreciate it!

Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

The dead are raised are they? No real evidence provided. Sounds great but is it reality?
God raised Jesus from the dead - true- God raises the dead today? Annadotal evidince is not good enough. Second what do you say to a family whose dead loved one is not raised back to life? Get real.
One word for you anon "THOMAS"
Secondly, That is a great question. I have never said that every single time we pray someone will be raised from the dead. I don't decide who comes back, God does. If you dont like it, talk to Him.
What I do say though, is that we need to be obedient to Jesus command to raise the dead.
I'm praying for your salvation.
By the way, if you are serious about talking about God, theology, miracles etc lets catch up and have a chat and pray. The internet is no substitute for a good talk and pray together...
