16 Flood Victims Raised from the Dead in Brazil

16 Flood Victims Raised from the Dead in Brazil Saturday, January 22, 2011 By Bethel Church (RSS)

A nurse is leading a mission team of doctors and nurses to Brazil. They left on Jan 13, 2011. They are still there until the 28th. On the 12th there had been massive flooding in Brazil and over 600 people died. They were not going for this reason but the timing of their trip just happened to coincide.

Only one on the team had ever experienced the power of the Holy Spirit or miracles for that matter!! She had asked her friends to pray, and they did.

Usually when there’s a legitimate missionary team there is also a network of Christians back home praying for their mission.

Occasionally, some are allowed to return after getting a taste of Hell. Some experience being in an empty place, completely alone, while others experience a more crowded nightmare and yet still all alone. There may be something to the idea of actual different levels and/or of what each person perceives of as Hell for their punishment. I’m not planning to find out, by the Grace of God.

What would be even more impressive would be to hear that hundreds or thousands put their trust in Jesus Christ for their eternal lives as a result of seeing the demonstration of power. Curious how little emphasis has been placed on this.

Yes, I had some things to remember, but choose not to talk about that here. The ‘seeing the light’ situation is what I was referring to in my last post. Pilots have this same experience just before they black out in a centrifuge test. It is the brain shutting down.

As for those who had unpleasant experience while dead, that all depends on your relationship with Jesus before you die. If you don’t believe that Jesus was God, come down to give His life to pay for the sin of the world and that He was raised from the dead and ascended into heaven, then you will have a bad experience when you die. You will be separated from God and not live with him forever, as believers in Christ will.

When Jesus came back to life after he was crucified, there were many who did not believe, even though they saw him walk, talk and eat with them. And so it is today. Some will believe and be saved, and others will not believe and will perish.

Interesting. From doctrinal studies, my first response is that they may have been resuscitated, not resurrected.

We know the 2 witnesses will be raised again after being dead in the streets for 3 days.

"A wise theologian once posed this statement and question to me: "Your focus must always be Christ-centered. If you are focused on the Holy Spirit, then what is the source of that focus?

The source of the focus is you, because you are the one focusing. The object of one focusing on the Holy Spirit is of course Jesus, or the Father, because they're all the same person.

Interesting that you would put God in a box and proscribe a limitation to his being and his power over life and death

I looked again at the link you gave, which is the .pdf that is linked in the Healing Herald article. It does look like a photoshop of a Brazilian newspaper headline with two pictures and some text tacked on to it.

Do you speak Portuguese? I’m guessing that the headline doesn’t say anything about “raised from the dead”.

The first picture appears to be a color negative. The size and font of the text at the bottom doesn’t appear related to the newspaper at the top.

People being raised from the dead was in the OT and NT. We are commanded to do the same; as well as, healing the sick. Too much carnal thinking to say God doesn’t want to show His Glory. Whether this particular article is true or not - raising the dead is not unknown throughout the world.

However, there are some who must ‘see’ to believe.

“I know I was dead. I was in a dark, ugly place. I do not know what happened, but I am back to life. God is alive.”

Not heavenly sounding.

The Charismatic movement has really destroyed so much credibility in modern times.

Satan uses God's Word more than most Christians. He causes people who have false beliefs and are going after riches to muddy the waters so that real belief in God's willingness to still preform miracles will be thrown out by people who are disgusted with the phony. Many Charismatics are often loaded with false doctrines, adhering to few Biblical foundational doctrines, running on their emotions and very confused and confusing but that doesn't mean that the real kind of faith that God uses to effect true miracles doesn't exist today. Jesus Christ is the same today as he was yesterday.

The Bible doesn't mention much about most of the Apostles and what they did. It does mention both Paul and Peter raising the dead. Stephen was not an Apostle but he did miracles. Paul was not one of the twelve as Mathias took the place of Judas and Paul raised the dead and did miracles. For those who deny miracles today they are playing it safe because then they will not have to try to have the kind of faith that God can use to do a miracle through. It is definitely the easy way out and requires no risk nor failure.

Jesus said that he that believeth on Him would not only do the same works that He did but greater. He did not say he that believeth and is an Apostle but merely "he that believeth". He also said that "as your faith so be it unto you". This means that if you don't believe you will not see things that can come about only by grace through faith in Christ. But conversely it also means that if you do you will.

If you decide that most all that Jesus said only applied to the disciples because he was speaking to them, often answering their questions, then you are to be considered most unfortunate and sad. What Jesus said almost always for all who had "ears to hear".

\ Jhn 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.

Jhn 14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.

Jhn 14:12 ¶ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.

Jhn 14:14 If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [it].

I know the NT from front to back.

Show me where other than the first century apostles raised the dead:

PRIDE goeth before a fall :)

(Acts 20:9 KJV) And there sat in a window a certain young man named Eutychus, being fallen into a deep sleep: and as Paul was long preaching, he sunk down with sleep, and fell down from the third loft, and was taken up dead.

(Acts 20:10 KJV) And Paul went down, and fell on him, and embracing him said, Trouble not yourselves; for his life is in him.

Sorry, this kind of nonsense is what makes some religious people sound nutty.

The Father, The Son and the Holy Spirits are three persons.

One God, three Persons. Each person of the Holy Trinity is God.

We created beings are used to having one substance and one person. It is not so with God.

This seems a mystery, but when we say "God is Love" we are asserting that God is more than one person. For love is between persons.

But why three persons? This is because God the Father and God the Son love one another: and the Love between them is itself fully God: the Third Person of the Trinity whom we call the Holy Spirit.

This incidentally is why the Creed says that the Holy Spirit "proceeds from the Father and from the Son"
