INDIAN GIRL COMES BACK TO LIFE

A 16-year-old girl from a village in the northern Indian state Bihar died - but still had an important mission to fulfill. A team which wanted to show the Jesus film in the village had been brusquely turned away by the village elders, who refused them permission. As the girl's parents were about to bury her, she woke up from the dead and said something amazing: the God of which the film team spoke had sent her back to the village for 7 days to tell them about him. The girl went to search for the team, and brought them back to the village, where they could show the film. Hundreds of people decided to become Christians, and at least 6 new churches were started.

DEAD GIRL RAISED IN INDIA

"A 4th-grade girl was recently bitten by a venomous snake, and died in hospital despite the doctor's best efforts to keep her alive. The staff left the dead girl's room. A few minutes later, two Christians from a church in Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, heard what had happened and went into the room. They prayed for half an hour, calling on Jesus to restore the girl's life. The girl started to breathe, and her life returned. They quickly called the doctor, who was naturally perplexed by what had happened; he removed the venom from the wound on the girl's leg. The girl is now completely healthy. The news spread not only in the local church, but also throughout the hospital."

ANOTHER GIRL HEALED

The report continues: "In the Lak valley in northern India, a poor family brought their seriously ill little daughter to the local hospital. The doctors had no idea what to do, and wanted to send the girl to the nearest city for treatment, and told the father that it could cost US$7,000. Sam Chand, the girl's father, was in a desperate situation, because he, like most others in India, had no health insurance. After hearing of his need, the staff of a local mission agency went to the hospital to pray for the girl. God performed a miracle: she is now healthy and has returned home."

BABY HEALED

Becca Bates and her son Dustin were just eating their lunch in Centralia, Washington, when they were disturbed. An ambulance drove on to the parking lot with sirens blaring, and a large group of people had gathered. Becca and her son also went outside to see what had happened. A 22-month-old baby was lying on the ground, and the paramedics had just started to examine it. The baby had stopped breathing, had lost almost all of its color, and showed no signs of life.

17-year-old Dustin went forward and did the unthinkable: "Could I hold the baby?", he asked the paramedics. They gave him the baby. He then asked "Would it be okay for me to pray?". As Dustin was praying for the baby in front of all the people, Becca went to the distressed mother to comfort her and pray with her. Just then, the baby started to move. Dustin put the baby on his shoulder and started to caress it. Moments later, its color returned and it began to cry.

MORE RAISED FROM DEAD IN ETHIOPIA

"I went to the hospital in Atad to speak with people about Jesus and to see if I could pray for anyone. When I arrived, I discovered a dead young woman on a stretcher, surrounded by weeping relatives. I went to them, thinking I could perhaps comfort them, and was told that the daughter had been sick for a long time and had just died. I helped the family in their preparations for the burial, but wanted so much to do more than that. I started to pray. As I did, I felt my hands moving over the dead woman's stomach, and heard myself praying 'I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in me, even if they are dead, will live!' I repeated this prayer over and over. The family soon became disturbed and even angry, but one of the relatives was a Christian. He felt that something special was happening, so asked the others to leave the room for a moment. The young Christian, who I did not know, then joined me in prayer. I felt something like fire enter my body and pass through my hands. Suddenly, the woman opened her eyes and sat up. The relatives rushed in, naturally rejoicing. I was able to explain the gospel to them all. The following day, the woman was released from hospital, because the doctors could no longer find any signs of illness. She told her young Christian relative to teach the family how to follow Jesus."

"In our house church, I heard that one of the Christian's relatives had been taken to the hospital in Addis Ababa in a serious condition. I went with the Christian to the hospital, but we were not allowed to see the sick woman. After some time, a hospital employee came and allowed only me to go to the woman. As I arrived on the ward, I heard as the doctors were told that the woman had just died. The hospital employee left me alone with the dead woman. I was actually perplexed, because I thought God wanted me to pray for the woman's healing. Then I realised that he wanted me to pray for her even now, so I prayed for her, calling her back to her body. Suddenly, she opened her eyes. She felt much better. The nurses, confused, called some doctors, who immediately examined her, asking why they should examine someone who obviously felt much better. The woman was later released from hospital, and soon came to our church to tell of the miracle."

MAN HEALED OF GLAUCOMA, CHILD RAISED FROM DEAD

"Ronny, a retired businessman, was recently healed of glaucoma, an eye disease leading to blindness, after receiving prayer in Jesus' name," reports Jimmy Crompton. Soon afterwards, Ronny went to visit his daughter in Johannesburg. One afternoon, he heard screams from the street - it was a woman, whose daughter had just been found at the bottom of a swimming pool. "Nobody knew how long she had been there, but she was completely blue, had no pulse and had ceased to breathe," says Ronny. Her mother was completely hysterical. Ronny took the mother and child into his daughter's house and started to pray as others called the ambulance.

He prayed for 20 minutes before becoming angry and starting to loudly command the 'spirit of death'. Suddenly, the child turned over, regurgitated a huge amount of water and began to scream. The mother and daughter's screams helped the ambulance find the house quickly. As soon as they arrived, the medics examined the child and declared her completely healthy, but took her to hospital anyway in case of complications. Further examinations showed that she had suffered no brain damage or other ill effects. Ronny is convinced that Jesus raised the child from the dead.
