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.

THX THX.
AMEN! AMEN!
Goodness no.
More like Lazarus who subsequently died for ‘good’ so to speak.
I just know that many such cases are authentic, real and not explainable any other way than by God resurrecting them for however much longer of a life.
These examples sounded to me like at least some of them were quite authentic.
I guess time will tell, as usual.
If true, then I agree. Resuscitated bodies, but not resurrected bodies, i.e the ones that can walk through walls, show up thousands of miles away in the flash of an eye.
At the “Healing Herald” link, it says “By Bethel Church (RSS)” right under the headline and date. So the origin of the article was Bethel Church in Redding, California.
If you go to the Bethel website, look at the left hand column where it says “Good News”. The list of testimonies there matches the list on the left side of the Healing Herald webpage, except for one thing...the story which is being discussed in this thread has been removed at the Bethel Church website.
The Healing Herald page still has the list of Bethel testimonies in the left column, but if you click on “Sixteen Flood Victims Raised From The Dead In Brazil” you’ll get the following message at Bethel’s site.... “Sorry, looks like you were trying to locate something that we couldn’t find.”

There is a fellow . . . don’t recall who . . .
who contends that there will be several “RAPTURES” at least 2-3
and some folks will be back right away in truly heavenly bodies; travel in The Spirit and do great exploits in terms of miraculous powerful things on the Lord’s behalf.
I could imagine that.
I also expect some of us will be traveling via Holy Spirit in our mortal bodies.
Things are going to get very very interesting.
Hmmm, let's see. God's Word says that God is love. You say He's not.
Who am I going to believe here?
God? Or an anonymous internet armchair theologian?
1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.
Never be discouraged by those who don’t beleive in the mystical power of Jesus Christ. That lack of faith is why the churches are dying.
I know the power of Jesus to heal is alive and well in Christians today. I have seen people instantly healed a few times.
Going for miracles is very risky for some people. What if prayer does not work? What if we are being tricked? What if we look like fools? What will we do with the disappointment and rejection if our prayers are not answered? Why would Jesus heal that one but not mine? How can I have faith in God when He abandoned my prayers/loved one to trouble or death? Maybe He does not love me or maybe I don’t pray good enough for Him.
Centuries of this state of affairs has many Christians just writing off the possibility of miracles in order to avoid dealing with all these questions and hurt feelings. They have sterilized the whole reality of Jesus’ action and power in heaven and earth and consigned the Lord to “myths” of history. The church is dying because of that...many see only a dead Savior whose Spirit lives in heaven to serve the dead in the afterlife.
He’s not dead. He’s still doing His thing in heaven and earth! I’ve witnessed His healing holy spirit and power. I have felt it in my body and mind. I would not choose to live without Him alive in me. It’s not like I am deserving of His Spirit and mercy and I am not justified by any worldly organization or higher learning... I am at the low end of the totem poll in this way.
I’ve been expecting more and more such for a long time.
Some others have, too.
INDEED! AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
This should be common to Christians and the church has walked slowly because of unbelief.
Thank you so much for your encouraging post Sara. These are truly exciting times we live in. Everyday is an adventure. I can’t wait to get up tomorrow and see what He has done. :)
Thanks for the ping!
That's right, because as I said, love is a verb and persons are nouns. I did not think of love as a condition. That is a noun, but a condiiton is still not equivalent to a person.
"Who am I going to believe here? God? Or an anonymous internet armchair theologian?"
It doesn't matter who I am, nor does anything else I've done matter. What matters is what I said, the meaning of words and logic. As far as what God said, He never identified Himself as being love itself, but He did identify Himself as being a person.
"1 John 4:8 Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.
This is no more than a loose use of words made under artistic license. Read the prior verse: 1John4:7. "7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. ...then the rest, 1John4:9-12 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. No one has ever seen God; but if we love one another, God lives in us and his love is made complete in us." Love is a verb.
"Galatians 5:22-23 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. "
This is a list of condiitons, not persons. These condiitons require persons to act, in order to achieve the condition. So the condiitons are intimately connected to the actions of persons, and are neither the actions, or the condiitons acheived through them are the persons themselves.
Absolutely INDEED.
In China we noticed that in areas where there were
Semetaries/Seminaries
few miracles happened.
Where they just had portions of Scripture and took God at HIS WORD, there were routinely miracles and often dramatic ones.
The Dalai Lama...who the heck knows the guy, RC? We know a public image of a carefully crafted and marketed guru presented to America by an anti-Christian media and his Western followers. He does not express the same knowledge and power of God and His Creation as Jesus presented.
Do his differences with God as Jesus taught to us result in the Dalai Lama leading God’s children astray? God knows! That’s good enough for me. If were the Dalai Lama, I would yeild to Jesus where there is any difference. It is not a game.
Me too!
I figured you would make it over here. Miracles! :)
AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!
PRAISE GOD!
