A toddler who ‘woke up’ at her own funeral is reportedly dead.
Startled mourners thought they had caught a miracle on camera when the toddler they were about to bury ‘woke up’.
The three-year-old from Aurora, Zamboanga del Sur in the Philippines, was pronounced dead at 9am on Friday and was set for burial at 1pm on Saturday.
But during the funeral her family, friends and loved ones got the surprise of their lives when the little girl came back to life.
People started recording the unbelievable scenes after a priest was preparing to administer the last sacrament and someone noticed the toddler move before she suddenly opened her eyes.
But since the video has become an internet sensation it has been reported that the toddler has been confirmed as dead.
“That seems like a pretty capricious...”
No, the Lord gave us responsibility. He tells us to pray and to worship in His Word. He wasn’t joking. If we don’t pray, if we don’t worship, then things that are supposed to happen won’t.
It isn’t God’s fault. It is our fault when churches get lazy.
i have heard of this also.
my healing was complete and there was no worshiping during or after. no one else knew about it.
“So He punished the girl with continued blindness because the folks around her didn’t pray hard enough? “
Don’t forget, there were times that even Jesus was hindered from doing miracles. Mark 6:5-6 says “And He could do no miracle there except that He laid His hands on a few sick people and healed them. And He wondered at their unbelief.”
It wasn’t God’s fault. He wasn’t punishing her. He just didn’t have enough prayer to break through.
Jesus told us to pray, “Thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.” He wasn’t just saying stuff. If we don’t pray, then yes, things don’t happen. The Father NEEDS our prayers to have a free hand to work.
How much faith, worship, or praise is enough? You honestly believe that a little child is blind because some bystanders weren’t good enough?
I ask again, who needs a Savior if our own actions save or heal us? Yes we are called to faith, but that very faith is the Gift of God. If such faith does not suffice, then we are all destined for Hell.
First, I said it was a young woman, not a girl. I was dating her at the time. I was kneeling right next to her and she looked right into my face. She was staring at her hands, having never seen her own hands before.
“I ask again, who needs a Savior if our own actions save or heal us?”
We’re not talking about salvation. Salvation is an individual thing and you don’t need the response of anyone to get saved!
We’re talking about healing. Healing is VERY much a group thing. It matters a great deal if the people present believe in the power of the Lord to heal, or not.
Southern Baptist missionaries in Africa see healings all the time. They are common over there! African believers of all denominations believe in the power of God to heal. Baptist, Catholic, Methodist, Episcopalian, they all have seen them.
But in the United States, Baptist churches do not believe in healings. Most will not even pray for healing, they pray for the doctors. So there are few if any healings in Baptist churches. Because of their *unbelief*.
But I guess you need an excuse why your shamanism doesn't work.
Priests do not administer last rights to someone who was confirmed dead the day before nor do they do so to a child who was too young to have reached the age of reason.
If that’s your god I want nothing to do with him.
“Jesus was only hindered because the people refused to come forward and present themselves”
Mark 6:5-6 says “And He could do no miracle there except...”
The Word couldn’t be any clearer.
Belief in His power to heal isn’t “shamanism.”
Hey, I was there. She was blind since birth. I looked into her eyes. She looked into mine. She could see. Then she couldn’t.
I suggest that whatever denomination has been putting this stuff in your head, that you leave it. Find a church that thinks that we have a God who loves people and wants to heal.
Lurker,
The Lord has chosen to give us authority in prayer. If we don’t use it, it’s our fault. It isn’t His. He didn’t make us to be puppets.
LOL
Almost a vivisepulture ping!
In his mis-spent youth, a friend of mine was an orderly at a certain Cambridge hospital. They had a hazing procedure they deployed against new hires. The new orderly would be taken on a tour of all the hospital's facilities, ending at the morgue. A corpse under a sheet would be wheeled out of the fridge. Initially dead to the world, it would suddenly sit bolt-upright, turn its gaze upon the new hire, and jump up and chase him!
There do seem to be a lot of cases of a last surge of energy and lucidity just prior to the final sleep.
Many of the people Jesus healed had no idea who He was. The miracles Jesus did were meant to confirm Him and His message. If the people already believed, there would have been no need for the miracles in the first place. By necessity they happened to many unbelieving people. The difference is they did not resist Him.
When Jesus came to His hometown they refused to come forward to be healed because they did not want to believe in Him. They knew Him as the carpenter's son and wanted Him to be only that.
As far as your story of the blind woman, it pretty much ruins your credibility as far as I am concerned.
“The miracles Jesus did were meant to confirm Him and His message.”
He healed them BECAUSE HE LOVED THEM. #1 reason.
“As far as your story of the blind woman, it pretty much ruins your credibility as far as I am concerned. “
I was in love with her. And I don’t care what you think.
Now, I am done with you.
RIP.
someone should do a study on that
Interesting.
