MAN RAISED FROM THE DEAD!

MAN RAISED FROM THE DEAD AS DOCTOR HEARS GOD SAY PRAY FOR HIM

When Charles Cranmill (not real name) walked into the Emergency Room (ER), and promptly collapsed on the floor due to a massive heart attack, the most astounding miracle was about to be witnessed. Cranmill could not be revived even after many efforts by hospital staff. By the time his heart had been stopped for nearly an hour, the call went out for Dr. Dean Thomas to attend him.

"As I entered the ER it was like a war zone," recounted Thomas. "Here was this lifeless body on a stretcher. His face, his arms, his legs were pitch-black with death. I said, 'Let's just call the code, let's end it because there's no life left.' "But just as Dr. Thomas was walking out of the room, he heard from God."A voice told me to turn around and pray for that man. I looked down at the body, and I said, 'Lord, what can I pray for this man? He's gone.'

All of a sudden these words came out, 'Father, I cry out for this man's soul, if he does not know You, raise him from the dead,'" the doctor said. Although the hospital staff was already preparing Cranmill's body for the morgue, Dr. Thomas asked for him to be shocked one more time. When they finally did, Cranmill's heart began to beat perfectly, and he started breathing on his own. Charles Cranmill wasn't a Believer before the day he was resurrected, but is now attending church. Source:

Grateful Heart

Been thinking about how blessed I am to live in Australia lately, and especially in beautiful Coffs Harbour. Surely didn't do anything to deserve such a gift. Same as salvation. And life. And breath. And Holy Spirit's constant company. And the Word of God. And all the glorious riches I have in Christ Jesus.

We were worshipping the Lord last night, a few of us in a back room of a church. Not many, not any that the world would look at and say "there goes a successful person, one of influence and power" - but we surely are! I know I am loved by God and I love God back the best I can right now - and I have a sure confidence of who I am in Christ. His child, created in His image for His good pleasure. And that makes me the most successful person I know.

We were pondering the throne room as described in Revelation 4 and 5 - oh what awesome beauty!! I so love to meditate on the pictures portrayed by John as he tries to describe what the Holy Spirit is revealing to him with that once in a lifetime revelation. I like to see Jesus, on His throne, with the 4 living creatures and the 24 elders all around, I like to join in with the millions of others around the throne to worship the Lamb who is worthy above all, the One who is worthy of all honour and glory and praise forever and forevermore.

I am very grateful that Jesus rescued me when He did and saved me from a life of drug addiction and self centredness that was leading me to hell and death. I am blessed beyond measure, and my heart is full of new songs. I will sing of the love of the Lord forevermore.
