I have often wondered how I got to be as old as I am. Or why. If I am supposed to be doing something it is still not clear what.

Not really. I calmly read a bit, made a decision and calmly went on to more important things. Time to take the dog out.
Moonbat fruitcakes are entertaining. Love those cute inspirational stories they stay awake making up. And every one of them is true!
The variety of nutcases is truly breath-taking!
I could have resisted pinging you to loved ones . . .
but I chose not to. Heh heh.
I could have resisted pinging you TWO as in 2! loved ones . . .

I think it might be more appropriate to refer to these events either as healings or return of bodily life.
The Ressurrected body as referenced in Scripture regarding the Second Adam and His ressurrection, indicates that body will have some other aspects beyond our present bodies, such as being able to walk through walls, displace between remote physical points immediately, yet they remain physical. Jesus Christ after ressurection also asked a person for a little piece of meat for nourishment, so it wasn't an apparition, as also manifest in Thomas placing his hands on his wounds.
These reports don;t seem to be of ressurrected bodies, but of the soul being returned to the body within a 24 hour period.

TO, what is, to me, an exciting doc about present day 'resurrections' 'raisings-from-the-dead' --many hours or even a day or so after death.

BTW, This is not to a ping list--though I'm trying to compile a new one on END TIMES; DREAMS, VISIONS . . . this is to folks I've gleaned from various posts of earlier threads of mine--whom I've guessed might be interested. Lost my old one in a crash before my MidWest trip. 3 different Hard Drives with full backups have not been recovered yet.
If you want OFF such a ping list, please let me know and I won't add you! Or, if you read this and want on, please let me know that, too.
Blessings,

NOW THIS:
urgent request; Meri Burlingame; Jul 17, 2005
Dear Renewed Hope, I had a note from a very responsible subscriber tonight that works with the FBI by contributing "prophetic insight." She indicated that
there is an urgent need for prayer for our borders TONIGHT!!
Please, if you are up and get this Saturday night, I trust you might have been selected of the Lord to share in this.

That was inspired, indeed.
Like my wife remembered this morning: I was an emaciated skeleton, with long, white hair, crawling around on the freakin' floor on hands and knees bellowing at that company to take that expensive wheelchair back--cuz i was gonna walk!!!! [LOL, starting to jog now, crazy, man=-)]
That was four years ago, Quix. Wife and I moving into house twice the size we are in, with five times the land, Aug. 1st.
A man, who four years ago:
1. Was on a gurney in the "refrigerator";
2. Had the sheet over his nude body--and face;
3. Had a toe-tag with name, time and date.
4. Had his death certificate filled out.
[Quix, saw a UFO 2 weeks ago. I get up early to work, so it was 4/4:15 when outside i saw a bright light about 10 o'clock high. It was linear and bright then "shrunk" and disappeared in less than a second. WOW!!]
God is in charge of life and death.
We have a 98 year old woman in the church who suffers from dementia, extreme frailty, and immobility.
But it was a young woman (35 or so) with a young family, apparently healthy, who passed away last year. The autopsy never provided a clear answer.
People ought always to pray and never faint, because God is in charge of life and death.
There was another who had even been embalmed and was raised from the dead...w/out any physical problems whatsoever. ;o)
Bookmarking for self.
Hello PingList, Received this in email today & wanted you all to see it.
Quix is on travel for a couple weeks, he will have sporadic access to the Net.

We serve a big God who’s doing Godsize® things today around the world. Every day God is intervening in the lives of ordinary people just like you.
I had hardly settled into the car seat after my 20-hour trip from Houston to Lagos, Nigeria when my host, Pastor George, began telling me how he had raised a woman from the dead the day before. I listened courteously, yet incredulously to his story.
The elderly and frail mother of a woman in his church had passed away early that morning before dawn. Two men from her village carried the dead body on a cart to her daughter’s home in a neighboring village, informed the family of the death, and laid the woman’s corpse on a bed.
When the church member sent word to the pastor’s home about her mother’s passing she discovered Pastor George was in the city on business for the entire day.
At 8 o’clock that evening when he returned home his wife told him of the woman’s death. So, Pastor George freshened up and went to the home of his grieving church member. Once there he was taken into the bedroom where the woman’s body had been lying for more than 12 hours.
George told me, “She had been dead the entire day. I touched her hand and her body was cold and hard. So, I said a brief prayer over her and began to leave the room. When I got to the bedroom door the Holy Spirit said, ‘tell her to get up.’ I immediately thought, ‘that’s crazy.’ Then I felt the Lord say again, ‘tell her to get up.’
“So, without any faith whatsoever I turned back to the corpse lying on the bed and said, ‘Lady, get up.’ I waited for a moment. As I had suspected it was clear that nothing was going to happen. Then as I turned to leave, out of the corner of my eye I saw what appeared to be a twitch on her face.
“Pastor Eddie, she began to slowly move her extremities and in a few moments she sat up, dazed and confused. I walked over to her and helped her stand. Wobbly at first, she grabbed me and hugged me.
“We were standing there rejoicing with each other when one of the men who had delivered her body that morning came through the door. As soon as he saw her standing beside me, he screamed and ran from the house with his friend close behind!”
When I arrived at the civic center to speak that night I told the leader of the crusade, “The pastor you sent to pick me up at the airport this morning, Pastor George, thinks he raised a lady from the dead yesterday.”
This well-known national leader said, “Eddie, such things are commonplace in Nigeria. Many of the 15,000 Christian leaders you will be speaking to have raised someone from the dead, been raised from the dead, or have someone in their family or church who’s been raised from the dead.”
Six months later I was enjoying prime rib with two friends at the world-famous historic Broadmoor Hotel at the foot of Pike Peak in Colorado Springs. While we were eating I shared my Nigerian story with them. As I did, they looked at each other and smiled. I stopped.
A bit indignant I challenged, “You guys don’t even believe me, do you?”
“Oh, we believe you alright,” one answered. “We just think it’s interesting you’re telling us this story. You see, we just returned from a trip to India. The missions organizations we work for sent us there with a videography team from New York to produce a one-hour video about people who have raised someone from the dead, have been raised from the dead, or who have a member of their family whose been raised from the dead.”
Six months later, my wife Alice and I were teaching a conference on spiritual warfare at the base chapel of the U.S. Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas. Those attending the conference were all military officers and their wives from all 5 branches of the U.S. military, as well as officers from various armies of the world.
At one point, I shared with them the story I just shared with you. At the break, a group of the officers rushed to the back of the room and cornered a black officer. After a moment or two they turned with a smile, a nervous laugh, and walked away. I stopped one of the men and asked, “Why did you all rush back to talk to the black officer? And who is he?”
“He’s a Kenyan Army major,” he explained. “He’s been here a little over a month. Two weeks ago he came to Christ. We went back to see if he could verify your story about God raising people from the dead in Nigeria.
“And what did he say,” I asked.
He replied, “The major told us he’s from Kenya, not Nigeria. He said, ‘I have no idea what happens in Nigeria. But in Kenya, God raising people from the dead is commonplace.’”
Western Christians are settling for far too little. God wants to do so much more. Scripture says of Jesus, “And he did not many mighty works there because of their unbelief” (Matthew 13:58). Is it possible that our unbelief is keeping God from performing many mighty works in our cities?
God wants to do “exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think.” Our hope is that as you read the stories in this edition of Godsize® Stories from Around the World you will be inspired to trust God for more than you’ve ever trusted Him for before.
Godsize® stories are stories of God doing incredible things in the lives of ordinary people. We are looking for your stories. You can submit them at www.godsize.com.
Greater things we should be able to do through Christ because He has gone to the Father.
Yes. There are unrelated reports from the Gospel for Asia missionaries where these sorts of miracles are happening - even to the raising of the dead to show forth the power of God's love to people formerly in bondage to all sorts of false religions.
We in the "rich" nations do not realize that we are really POOR in everything that matters. We are poor and blind, lame and halt as written in Revelation and need to ask God for His pure gold and eyesalve for our blind eyes so that we may see the Truth. . and we need to strive to properly love the Giver for Himself and not just the gifts He gives.
I know it happens, especially in poor countries where all they have is their faith. It's tough to reach people in America because we are so prosperous and doubtful about such things. FAITH is needed, not scorn. Argggh.
