    The God Who Gives Life To The Dead

    Contributed by Paul Mulani on Apr 29, 2019
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,447 views

    Quite often we want God to do new things in our lives. However, many a times God wants to raise the dead, to bring to life what is dead in our lives, and not just give us brand new things. He wants to renew, give life to the dead things in our lives so that they will bring life to the whole person.

    I want to begin by pointing out a correction that Jesus made to Martha's view on resurrection, a mistake that many people make even today. In John 11:40 we read, "Jesus said to her, “Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?” That was a kind rebuke. ...read more

    When Jesus reinstated Peter, he expected more from Peter but accepted less.

    Jesus revealed himself to seven of His disciples who were fishing in the Sea of Tiberias more commonly known as the Sea of Galilee.

    Spiritually to often the opinion of others affects what we may think. But our choices to act on our own opinion, is truly what keeps us from being connected to our Heavenly Father our constant provider!

    Too easily, we try to comfort people in sorrow and pain, saying that we know what they are going through. The fact is that mostly we don't. But Jesus knows what we are going through, because he has been there. What does that imply for us?
