Testimonies Of Dead Raised
"With tears running down my face, I placed my hand on the mans chest, right over his heart. I prayed, Lord, I don't know who this man is, but you do. I ask that you move in mercy and Great Grace on his behalf, Father raise this man! I felt extreme heat go into my shoulder , down my arm and out my hand. The dead man's chest swelled up as if someone had blown air into his lifeless lungs. Color started coming back to his face. People in the crowd gasp, and did a very peculiar thing, they ran away!! You heard me....they ran away!" Smith Wigglesworth
Baby Raised from the Dead
10/31/02
I have been privilaged to see Jesus Christ raise a baby from the dead in Nigeria.
An unsaved ladies baby had died in her womb. The child was full term and had been dead for about 3 - 4 days. The lady was booked into a local hospital early in the next week to have childs body removed from inside of her.
A christian friend told the lady to come to church and be prayed for, as no harm could be done by this. The lady agreed to come to church, still planning to keep her appointment at the hospital.
We were in the church when the lady was brought for prayer, and everything that follows next we watched. As soon as she was prayed for in the name of Jesus, she instantally went into labour and within in minutes she delivered a baby boy right before us. But the baby came out stone cold dead. It's body was a strong yellow color from top to toe, due to the fact that the child had been dead for days and it's body was going toxic. The umbilical cord was a vivid, bright yellow. The baby was slapped and pinched but it did not revive. The senior man in the church came and prayed again. He stretched out his hand, and simply said "In the name of Jesus Christ - LIFE", and I watched as that babies face turned from yellow to pink and the child cried. There would of been about 20 on lookers that could all confirm this report.
Jesus Christ is the same today, yesterday and forever, and to Him belong all the glory. Amen
Testimony from Mark
Railroad Engineer Raised from the Dead
Dr. Charles A. Blanchard, late president of Wheaton College, Wheaton, Illinois, is the author of a blessed book, 'Getting Things from God,' a book on prayer. The book is published by The Moody Press, of Chicago. Dr. Blanchard gives in his book the remarkable story of a railroad engineer raised from the dead in answer to his wife's prayer. Dr. Blanchard says:
A Railroad Engineer Testifies
'I was a few weeks ago in the Eighth Avenue Mission in New York. On the platform by me sat a gentleman, to whom I was introduced, but whom I had never before seen. When the meeting had progressed for an hour or so, Miss Wray, the superintendent, called upon him for a testimony. He said: "Friends, about two and a half or three years ago I was in the hospital in Philadelphia. I was an engineer on the Pennsylvania Lines, and although I had a praying wife, I had all my life been a sinful man. At this time I was very ill. I became greatly wasted. I weighed less than one hundred pounds. Finally the doctor who was attending me said to my wife that I was dead, but she said: 'No, he is not dead. He cannot be dead. I have prayed for him for twenty-seven years and God has promised me that he should be saved. Do you think God would let him die now after I have prayed twenty-seven years and God has promised me that he should be saved. Do you think God would let him die now after I have prayed for him for twenty-seven years and God has promised, and he is not saved?' ' Well,' the doctor replied, 'I do not know anything about that, but I know that he is dead.' And the screen was drawn around cot, which in the hospital separates between the living and the dead.
'"To satisfy my wife, other physicians were brought, one after another, until seven were about the cot, and each one of them as he came up and made the examination confirmed the testimony of all who had preceded. The seven doctors said that I was dead. Meanwhile my wife was kneeling by the side of my cot, insisting that I was not dead--that if I were dead God would bring me back, for He had promised her that I should be saved and I was not yet saved. By and by her knees began to pain her, kneeling on the hard hospital floor. She asked the nurse for a pillow and the nurse brought her a pillow upon which she kneeled. One hour, two hours, three hours passed. The screen still stood by the cot. I was lying there still, apparently dead. Four hours, five hours, six hours, seven hours, thirteen hours passed, and all this while my wife was kneeling by the cot-side, and when people remonstrated and wished her to go away she said: 'No, he has to be saved. God will bring him back if he is dead. He is not dead. He cannot die until he is saved.'
'At the end of thirteen hours I opened my eyes, and she said: 'What do you wish, my dear?' And I said: 'I wish to go home,' and she said: 'You shall go home.' But when she proposed it, the doctors raised their hands in horror. They said, 'Why, it will kill him. It will be suicide.' She said: 'You have had your turn. You said he was dead already. I am going to take him home.'
'I weigh now 246 pounds. I still run a fast train on the Pennsylvania Lines. I have been out to Minneapolis on a little vacation, telling men what Jesus can do, and I am glad to tell you what Jesus can do."'
Dr. Blanchard was a great educator, a man of national prominence, a scholar, as well as a devout Christian. It was not hard for him to believe that God had answered the prayer of a wife for her unsaved husband, and that he was brought back in order that he might be saved. And if it is hard for you to believe, then I ask you in the words of Paul the apostle, 'Why should it be thought a thing incredible with you, that God should raise the dead?' (Acts 26: 8).
If such an occurrence is rare, then it is equally rare that a woman should pray like that and believe God. God still answers prayer for those who trust Him." (John R. Rice, "Prayer--Asking and Receiving," Wheaton, IL: Sword of the Lord Publishers, 1942, pp. 269, 270.)
The book by John R. Rice is one of the best I ever read on prayer. Although he was a fundamentalist, Baptist evangelist, he yielded no ground to the idea that the days of miracles had passed. Some of his best chapters are titled: "Big Prayers to an Almighty God," "Does God Work Miracles Today?" and "Miracles Today, Cont'd.

FINLAND - BOY RAISED FROM THE DEAD
For nearly three years invitations had been coming to Brother Branham to conduct a series of healing meetings in the Scandinavian countries. Various circumstances had hindered him from making such a journey, although from the beginning he felt assured that these calls were of God. Therefore, in January, 1950, he called on Bro. Gordon Lindsay to make arrangements for the trip to Finland.
April 6, 1950
On this date at three o'clock in the afternoon, the party boarded the large overseas airliner, Flagship Scotland, and took off for London, England. It was on April 6, 1909, that William Branham was born. April 6, 1917, was the day that America relinquished her historical isolationism and entered the European War. Historians tell us that it was on April 6, in the year 30 A.D. that Christ died on the Cross. Perhaps the members of the party might be excused for thinking that April 6, is a day of significance.
En Route to Finland, Brother Branham the and ministers who travelled with him spent a few days of relaxation in London, England and two days in Paris. After two days in Paris they continued their journey to Finland via a Scandinavian airliner. On the 14th of April, the group landed at Helsinki where we were met by several ministers including Pastor Manninen, who had given us the invitation, and Sister May Isaacson, our American-born interpreter, whose knowledge of the Finnish language contributed greatly to the success of our meetings in Finland.
The first service at the Messuhalli witnessed a crowd of 7000 in attendance. After that, several thousand waited outside all afternoon, standing in a line four deep and a half mile long, so that they might be assured of a seat in the largest auditorium in Finland.
She Only Touched His Coat
During a five day interlude, when the auditorium could not be obtained, the Evangelistic party went north to Kuopio which is not far from the Arctic Circle. Faith was very high in this city and some marvelous miracles took place. One of these was the healing of little Veera Ihalainen, a war orphan, whose photograph is shown elsewhere in this book. She was marvelously delivered from wearing a brace and using crutches, after she had, in faith, touched the coat of Brother Branham as he passed by.
A Young Finnish Boy Raised From The Dead
This is one event, which will never be forgotten by the members of the party, and others standing present at the time. God fullfilled a prophecy he had given to Brother Branham about two years previous. He had told his church and many others, of a vision that the Lord had given him of a little boy being raised from the dead. He even described the clothes which the boy was wearing which indicated that the vision would not be fullfilled in America.
According to the vision the boy would be killed in an Automobile accident. Two boys would be involved - one would be killed instantly and the second would be critically injured and taken to hospital. When Rev. Gordon Lindsay had first heard Brother Branham relate the vision two years previous, he wrote the details on the 'fly-leaf' of his Bible.
One of the finnish Pastors who was travelling with the party was Vilho Soininen, of Kuopio. He related what happened on that day:
"On Friday afternoon a remarkable and startling incident took place which meant much to Brother Branham and to those of us who happened to be its witnesses. Three carloads of us made an unforgettable trip to nearby Puijo Observation Tower situated on a beautiful scenic elevation. The outing was one of the most precious I can remember, because of the blessing of God upon us.
Then as we were returning from Puijo, a terrible accident occurred. A car ahead was unable to avoid striking two small boys, who ran out into the street in front of it, throwing one down on the sidewalk, and the other five yards away into a field. One unconscious boy was carried into a car just ahead of us and the other, Kari Holma, was lifted into our car and placed in the arms of Brother Branham and Miss Isaacson who were sitting in the back seat. Brothers Moore and Lindsay were in the front seat with me.
"As we hurried to the hospital, I asked through Miss Isaacson, the interpreter, how the boy was. Brother Branham, with his finger on the boy's pulse, answered that the boy seemed to be dead, since the pulse did not beat at all. Then Brother Branham placed his hand over the boy's heart and realized that it was not functioning. He further checked the boy's respiration and could detect no breath.
Remembering the vision, he asked Bro. Lindsay to look in the 'fly-leaf' of his Bible and see what the vision said about 'a little boy being raised from the dead'. It was discovered that the description of the boy in the vision was exactly like the boy placed in Bro. Branham's arms. Then he knelt down on the floor of the car and began to pray. Brothers Lindsay and Moore joined in prayer, too, that the Lord would have mercy. About five or six minutes later, As we neared the hospital, I glanced back, and to my surprise, the boy opened his eyes. As we carried the boy into the hospital, he began to cry, and I realized that a miracle had taken place.
"The other boy had been brought in a little earlier and was still unconscious. As I was taking my guests back to their hotel, Brother Branham said to me, 'Do not worry! The boy, who was in our car, will surely live.'"
"At that time Brother Branham had no assurance that the other boy would live, but on Sunday evening he assured me on the basis of a vision which he had seen early Sunday morning, that he, too, would live. At the exact time that Brother Branham was telling me this at his hotel, the boy lay dying at the hospital. The boy, who was in my car, Kari, was dismissed from the hospital in just three days.
"In the Friday evening service Brother Branham told us about the vision which he had seen in America two years ago, and which had been fulfilled that afternoon when he had prayed for the dead boy. Two years previous he had told the vision to thousands in America. Now it was fulfilled. Brother Branham's coming to Kuopio was in the eternal plan of God! We of the Kuopio Elim Assembly wondered why the Lord was so good to us that He granted to just us the gracious privilege of receiving His servant."
Brother Branham Explains The Incident
Standing yonder in Finland that day, and that little boy laying there, dead. He'd been dead for a half hour. I started to walk away, Something put their hands on me. Turning around, I thought, "What was that?" And I looked at the site again. I thought, "Wait a minute!" Bro. Lindsay looked back there on the flyleaf of his Bible where it was written, "And it shall come to pass, a little boy about nine years old, he will be killed by an automobile. There'll be a long strip of evergreen, rocks lapped in there; the car will be laying across the road, wrecked. He will have on little stockings like, up high; a cropped haircut; and his little eyes will be turned back, the bones in his body will be broken."
I said, "Stand still, all of you!" The mayor of the citythere. I said, "If that boy isn't on his feet in two minutes from now, I'm a false prophet, ride and run me out of Finland." Certainly! "But if he is, you owe your lives to Christ." That's right. They stood still.
I said, "Heavenly Father, across the sea yonder, two years ago, You said this little boy would lay here..." According to the vision the boy was raise from the Dead.
Did you ever think about when someone was raised from the dead, what happens? Did you ever think in Finland there that time that little boy was raised from the dead? His spirit was gone from him. Now, the Word has to go out through into space yonder, and pick up that little soul, and bring it right back. See? How can It do it? It's the Word: heal the sick, raise the dead. See? How is He going to do it? It has to come by a watered Word. He'd showed the vision, and it has to happen. There laid the boy, there was everything laying there just the way He said it two years before, and there it laid. That's the reason I say about The Bear coming down the hill, whatever it was. It's got to happen, it's got to be so. See?
HIV/AIDS TESTIMONYIESWe had in the past three years, three people were tested AIDS (HIV) positive, healed by the Amighty Hand of God in South Africa.
In Canada a brother was told by his doctor he will die in 1997. This brother was HIV/AIDS positive. The Amighty God heard his prayers after the pastor prayed for him. He went back and see his doctor this year 1998. His doctor cannot understand what is going and why is he still alive. The Amighty God has healed him from this HIV/AIDS and this brother still live today for the glory of God.
A young boy who died in a car accident in 1990, was raised to life after our Pastor touched him. Who did it ? Our Lord Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever. He is still God.
There are also several cases of cancer i.e. lung cancer, breast cancer, and various other types and degrees of cancer which were all casted out. We believe, as Bro. Branham used to say, that all these illnesses are demons which were given scientific names by doctors.
All these testimonies are a sign of water that does not stagnate, but that is moving all the time. The Bible says that THESE signs shall follow them that believe. You come and see it for yourself.
Paul said that he did not come with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost. Come and here Prophet Branham meassge and get into the Spirit of God.
Four sisters whose wombs were dead, received fertility after the Spoken Word went out to them. As you know, the Spoken Word is very sacred and is like God taking contol of His vessel, using the mouth of His vessel and speak WORDS OF LIFE through him. This is just one of the dozens of testimonies regarding the ministry of the bride of Jesus Christ in this age.
Playing Church is over, now we are moving forward to take control of the promise of God to his bride in this age. Speak the WORD AND IT WILL COME TO PASS. The bride of Christ shaking this hour. Thanks be to God for his Prophet in this last days. What are you waiting for come and see the pillar of fire among us. We've THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Brother Darren Gertse was healed by the Spoken Word instantaneously. He suffered from a severe pain in his ears. God used the Pastor and he used the words: "Darren, hear the Word of the Lord: Pain disappear.I give you your healing, thus saith the Lord"
Sister Bywa's high blood pressure was brought back to normality by the Spoken Word. These were the words: "High blood pressure, go back to normality." The Pastor also said that we're not going to lay hands today. We're on the third phase.
Brother Ben Kennedy testified of his healing when the Pastor laid hands on him a few weeks ago while he was hospitalised in Paarl. His whole body was swollen after receiving the wrong injection and he was in a critical condition. The doctor declared him disabled to work for the rest of his life. (he could not walk or use his legs and hands).Today, after prayer, the doctor was proved wrong by the Lord Who took away his disability. A growth on his palm disappeared after anointed hands touched it. HALLELUJAH.
5. Pastor was preaching on the subject "Can these bones live?". Then he mentioned that the same Spirit that was upon Ezekiel is on him today (1 March 98). That caused the Fire to fall on many Believers. A young sister saw the Pillar of Fire hanging over the pastor and Fire coming out of his eyes. People were healed without laying on of hands. Others were slain to the ground. The scene was like that of a battle field. Three newly converts were baptised with the Holy Ghost. Four believers were baptised the same afternoon.
Ten souls came to the Lord following this combined service, accepting the Message of the Hour; they are awaiting baptism.
South Africa testimonyies was brought by our Brother Jacques. Canada testimonyies was brought by our Brother A.A. Thomas

Resurrection: Child in Texas
We had a bonafide resurrection (restoration) to life here in 1989. The infant son of our children's minister died of lung congestion, and was dead for 90 minutes. The child was in a hospital trauma room, and the physician came into the waiting room where the mother, father, another of our pastors and I were waiting, and informed us the child was dead: lungs collapsed, no self-generated heartbeat, etc. As the mother, other pastor and I prayed, the father went into the trauma room. We had a powerful release of faith to command the mountain of death to be removed. Meanwhile, unknown to us, the father was laying hands on the child, and asking Jesus to restore the boy. The father then came back into the waiting room with the rest of us. Within in a minute, the trauma room doctor came into the room and told us that for reasons he didn't understand, the child's heart was beating again. The length of time the child was dead caused some physical symptoms to remain. But the child is alive to this day. His name is Timothy Williams. His dad is Brandon Williams, pastor of Northside Baptist Church, Arlington, Texas.

FINLAND - BOY RAISED FROM THE DEAD
For nearly three years invitations had been coming to Brother Branham to conduct a series of healing meetings in the Scandinavian countries.

He had told his church and many others, of a vision that the Lord had given him of a little boy being raised from the dead. He even described the clothes which the boy was wearing which indicated that the vision would not be fullfilled in America.

One of the finnish Pastors who was travelling with the party was Vilho Soininen, of Kuopio. He related what happened on that day:
"On Friday afternoon a remarkable and startling incident took place which meant much to Brother Branham and to those of us who happened to be its witnesses. Three carloads of us made an unforgettable trip to nearby Puijo Observation Tower situated on a beautiful scenic elevation. The outing was one of the most precious I can remember, because of the blessing of God upon us.

We of the Kuopio Elim Assembly wondered why the Lord was so good to us that He granted to just us the gracious privilege of receiving His servant."
Brother Branham Explains The Incident
Standing yonder in Finland that day, and that little boy laying there, dead. He'd been dead for a half hour. I started to walk away, Something put their hands on me. Turning around, I thought, "What was that?" And I looked at the site again. I thought, "Wait a minute!" Bro. Lindsay looked back there on the flyleaf of his Bible where it was written, "And it shall come to pass, a little boy about nine years old, he will be killed by an automobile. There'll be a long strip of evergreen, rocks lapped in there; the car will be laying across the road, wrecked. He will have on little stockings like, up high; a cropped haircut; and his little eyes will be turned back, the bones in his body will be broken."
I said, "Stand still, all of you!" The mayor of the citythere. I said, "If that boy isn't on his feet in two minutes from now, I'm a false prophet, ride and run me out of Finland." Certainly! "But if he is, you owe your lives to Christ." That's right. They stood still.
I said, "Heavenly Father, across the sea yonder, two years ago, You said this little boy would lay here..." According to the vision the boy was raise from the Dead.
Did you ever think about when someone was raised from the dead, what happens? Did you ever think in Finland there that time that little boy was raised from the dead? His spirit was gone from him. Now, the Word has to go out through into space yonder, and pick up that little soul, and bring it right back. See? How can It do it? It's the Word: heal the sick, raise the dead. See? How is He going to do it? It has to come by a watered Word. He'd showed the vision, and it has to happen. There laid the boy, there was everything laying there just the way He said it two years before, and there it laid. That's the reason I say about The Bear coming down the hill, whatever it was. It's got to happen, it's got to be so. See?
HIV/AIDS TESTIMONYIESWe had in the past three years, three people were tested AIDS (HIV) positive, healed by the Amighty Hand of God in South Africa.
In Canada a brother was told by his doctor he will die in 1997. This brother was HIV/AIDS positive. The Amighty God heard his prayers after the pastor prayed for him. He went back and see his doctor this year 1998. His doctor cannot understand what is going and why is he still alive. The Amighty God has healed him from this HIV/AIDS and this brother still live today for the glory of God.
A young boy who died in a car accident in 1990, was raised to life after our Pastor touched him. Who did it ? Our Lord Jesus Christ, the same yesterday and today and forever. He is still God.
There are also several cases of cancer i.e. lung cancer, breast cancer, and various other types and degrees of cancer which were all casted out. We believe, as Bro. Branham used to say, that all these illnesses are demons which were given scientific names by doctors.
All these testimonies are a sign of water that does not stagnate, but that is moving all the time. The Bible says that THESE signs shall follow them that believe. You come and see it for yourself.
Paul said that he did not come with enticing words of man's wisdom, but in power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost. Come and here Prophet Branham meassge and get into the Spirit of God.
Four sisters whose wombs were dead, received fertility after the Spoken Word went out to them. As you know, the Spoken Word is very sacred and is like God taking contol of His vessel, using the mouth of His vessel and speak WORDS OF LIFE through him. This is just one of the dozens of testimonies regarding the ministry of the bride of Jesus Christ in this age.
Playing Church is over, now we are moving forward to take control of the promise of God to his bride in this age. Speak the WORD AND IT WILL COME TO PASS. The bride of Christ shaking this hour. Thanks be to God for his Prophet in this last days. What are you waiting for come and see the pillar of fire among us. We've THUS SAITH THE LORD.
Brother Darren Gertse was healed by the Spoken Word instantaneously. He suffered from a severe pain in his ears. God used the Pastor and he used the words: "Darren, hear the Word of the Lord: Pain disappear.I give you your healing, thus saith the Lord"
Sister Bywa's high blood pressure was brought back to normality by the Spoken Word. These were the words: "High blood pressure, go back to normality." The Pastor also said that we're not going to lay hands today. We're on the third phase.
Brother Ben Kennedy testified of his healing when the Pastor laid hands on him a few weeks ago while he was hospitalised in Paarl. His whole body was swollen after receiving the wrong injection and he was in a critical condition. The doctor declared him disabled to work for the rest of his life. (he could not walk or use his legs and hands).Today, after prayer, the doctor was proved wrong by the Lord Who took away his disability. A growth on his palm disappeared after anointed hands touched it. HALLELUJAH.
5. Pastor was preaching on the subject "Can these bones live?". Then he mentioned that the same Spirit that was upon Ezekiel is on him today (1 March 98). That caused the Fire to fall on many Believers. A young sister saw the Pillar of Fire hanging over the pastor and Fire coming out of his eyes. People were healed without laying on of hands. Others were slain to the ground. The scene was like that of a battle field. Three newly converts were baptised with the Holy Ghost. Four believers were baptised the same afternoon.
Ten souls came to the Lord following this combined service, accepting the Message of the Hour; they are awaiting baptism.
South Africa testimonyies was brought by our Brother Jacques. Canada testimonyies was brought by our Brother A.A. Thomas

Resurrection: Child in Texas
We had a bonafide resurrection (restoration) to life here in 1989. The infant son of our children's minister died of lung congestion, and was dead for 90 minutes. The child was in a hospital trauma room, and the physician came into the waiting room where the mother, father, another of our pastors and I were waiting, and informed us the child was dead: lungs collapsed, no self-generated heartbeat, etc. As the mother, other pastor and I prayed, the father went into the trauma room. We had a powerful release of faith to command the mountain of death to be removed. Meanwhile, unknown to us, the father was laying hands on the child, and asking Jesus to restore the boy. The father then came back into the waiting room with the rest of us. Within in a minute, the trauma room doctor came into the room and told us that for reasons he didn't understand, the child's heart was beating again. The length of time the child was dead caused some physical symptoms to remain. But the child is alive to this day. His name is Timothy Williams. His dad is Brandon Williams, pastor of Northside Baptist Church, Arlington, Texas.
