On Thursday night (29th May 2008) I was watching the Florida outpouring of God TV. It went on till our time 12.30 a.m. Towards the end there were testimonies of the 15th person raised from the dead \u2013 one of which was reported by cell phone from Kenya!<\/p>\n
I was about to go to bed when a lady in our church phoned to say that her husband had stopped speaking and stopped responding to her, and asked me to come.<\/p>\n
It was rather dire when I got there; we could not detect any breathing movements at all, and his body felt very cold to the touch. There was no pulse and his limbs were limp. Not being a medic I can\u2019t claim he was dead but there was no evidence of life.<\/p>\n
His three children were crying in another room while I set out to pray for him with his wife, obviously filled with faith from my time watching the TV.<\/p>\n
After praying for a while I thought I noticed a slight movement below the thorax. I wondered whether my eyes were playing tricks on me so I rested my palm gently over the area \u2013 and felt it move. I asked his wife to feel the same place but she said she couldn\u2019t feel anything. We continued to pray and I saw his collar bone move up and down!<\/p>\n
We pressed on and then I could hear breathing noises. Then he began to snore and at this time his wife called him and he responded with a grunt! I felt it was time for me to leave and I went in and assured the children that their Dad was OK.<\/p>\n
Was he raised from the dead? Well, I think if I hadn\u2019t gone in with impartation from the Florida outpouring we would all have been wailing on Sunday; rather he came to stand with his wife before the church as a great testimony.<\/p>\n
Hallelujah! I am hungry for more of this present outpouring.<\/p>\n
