What an awful, heart-ripping few days that must’ve been. Some months ago a little boy awoke under similar circumstances, asked for water and died shortly afterward. Very sad for these families who think they’ve witnessed a miracle, only to have it all taken away again.
Is it common for people to wake up before they die? Is it God’s way of giving us a chance to say goodbye?
I’m speaking from personal experience here. I was in a prayer meeting with a young woman who was born blind. She was prayed for and several minutes later she started actually being able to see! She looked right in my face!
The people who were there were told that she was receiving her sight. They should have been praising the Lord! But they only gave an “Amen” and kept on with their singing. They were absorbed in themselves.
A few minutes later her sight started going away again. I took her home that night, still blind.
My friend did not have a completed healing because the people there did not praise the Lord when it was obvious that He was working. So it is possible that you can actually have a miracle but lose it if you do not praise the Lord with your whole heart when you see Him move.
