Part 4

The Power of God fell, and then it lifted

Five times the power of God fell, and then it remained.

But the person who was in the bed was unmoved.

Two years previous, someone had come along and had tried to raise him up, and the Devil had used his lack of success as a means of discouraging Lazarus.

I said, “I don’t care what the Devil says; if God says He will raise you up: It MUST be so! Forget everything else except what God says about Jesus.”

The sixth time the power fell, and the sick man’s lips began moving, and the tears began to fall.

I said to him, “The power of God is here, it is yours to accept it.”

He said, “I have been bitter in my heart, and I know I have grieved the Spirit of God. Here I am helpless. I cannot lift my hands. nor even lift a spoon to my mouth.”

I said, “repent, and God will hear you.”

He repented and cried out, “O God, let this be to thy Glory!”

As he said this the virtue of the Lord went right through him.
