I was dead in trespasses and sin.

and blind in my understanding of God and His Chirst.

Then, God raised me up to a newness of life and opened the eyes of my understanding, so I could see my Christ.

Yep, been dead, been blind, but now I see.

Now I have LIFE

Yes, a blind man, me, was raised from among the dead to life

Lightside:

Song was being sarcastic, or so it seems, but it raises an interesting question...has anyone here literally raised someone from the dead, or caused a blind man (or woman) to see?

Sore throat...wicked karma, bro' icon_cool.gif

In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice...but in practice there is

Oak,

I think Dale Sides did, raised someone from the dead.

He saw multiple miracles when he went to India.

Wouldn't be surprised if he (DS) healed someone of blindness.

I saw DS calm a storm (Cape Cod, 1977)

Also a instantaneous healing of a broken finger, same year.

If there was ever anyone with the belief that God can do anything, it was DS

Any followers of DS know?

Nice thread Song. You rok.

A few thoughts...

Awesome. And then some. icon_smile.gif:)-->

Within each of us is the power of light, air, water, fire, lightning, earth, vegetable and animal. Like a garden of Eden, complete with hookah-smoking caterpillars and smiling cats. icon_wink.gif;)-->

IMO, the best way to walk on water/get out of the water is to become a fish and get eaten by a duck. Though part of ya gets pooped back out, part of ya becomes the duck. icon_razz.gif:P--> Viola! - Evolution/revolution.

We wrestle not against flesh and blood, right?

IMO, its because we wrestle so hard against being born again of pneuma hagion. We resist death unto our death, just as a baby often tries NOT to come out.

I think the physical healing of blindness and raising from the dead is reserved as a sign of those who walk a path quite beyond the usual experiences (even if ours are bonified glimpses of the supernatural). Maybe that's why it hasn't happened often enough to finally escape the realm of myth and legend and heresay and enter into the realm of "science" and rational provable fact. What else is new?

But I think any occurance or experience of it serves to illustrate that greater sense of death and blindness, as in how Lightside expressed it so clearly, which is the sense that matters forever (if it has, indeed, even happened to any of us, in that fuller, most-often sought after sense).

Blessed is the one whose healing is also a sign of much greater things.

And who knows? Maybe DS did these wonderful things too. And he really is walking in the shoes of the apostles. I still long for the day to meet such a man, myself. Jesus had said that they could follow him, as he showed himself again. Just as one of the apostles did to John at Patmos. Walking, talking guy from "the other side."

Also, I've read of men and women from all over the world who minister genuine healing, but who do not read the Bible or use the English words "Christ" or "God." As well as tongues, interpretation and the rest of the Pauline "mannies."

When it comes to spirit, Love is more reliable than scripture.

Though a compass works better with a map.

Sorry so rambling, all.

Ramble on.

I had a twig leader in the 70s who claimed she raised her ex husband from the dead. He was choking and he turned blue. She prayed over his "dead body". When he didn't rize she pounded his chest, he then puked and woke up.

It's a miracle!!!!

Well, it was actually a heimlich maneuver of sorts, but dam if she didn't tell everyone that she raised him from the dead.

Everyone was so dam blessed that no one questioned it.

Glow-ry!

Thanks for sharing the leg story. That's awesome (in the true sense of the word). Funny how often we beat our heads against a problem until we rememberthat God wants to help. Then we ask for help and voila! Problem solved.

God is wonderful isn't He?

The fact that these supernatural solutions are so often preceded by prayer puts a little dent in the dna theory though, doesn't it? :-D

Peace

I'm sorry lindyhopper, I must inform you, your post is not an S.I.T. topic.

You're gunna have to delete it or move it on over to a more appropriate thread.

I'm just sorry I let your post sit on this thread this far before squawcking and frittering myself into a fit.

Someone should have stopped this earlier.

Again, my apologies.

God is my daddy!

Sirguessalot --- yep, a compass is a wonderful thing. Only problem is it shows you a way to go, and it doesn't always get you through.

It is worse if you have a 4-wheel drive vehicle, cause then you are stuck way out in the middle of nowhere, and in worse shape than if you had 2-wheel drive, and no compass.

gotta love em anyway!!!
