Have You or a Loved One Been Raised From the Dead?
Have You or a Loved One Been Raised From the Dead? Then WE are looking for YOU, and you have come to the right place to tell us about your miracle.
If you are a pastor who has raised someone from the dead, or someone who died and was raised from the dead due to a pastor’s prayer or laying on of hands, etc. Then please tell us your story.
We have heard that miracles are taking place all over the world, where people are dying and being raised from the dead through the gifts bestowed on pastors to be able to do many signs and wonders.
This is your chance to speak to the world, to tell the world your story and of course, provide proof as there are many scamsters around. Therefore we do ask that you can provide proof: Names, dates, places, time of death, time of resurrection, hospital, doctor’s names, contact numbers, witnesses, church name, pastor’s name, newspaper reports, magazine articles, death certificates, Xrays, medical documentation, videos, etc.
Thank you

This is Apostasy from this church. This was also aired on National television Etv news channel today. Logos Bible Church pastor Shandrey Thumbran quoted Matthew 10:8 8Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Undertaker fed up as widow waits for dead man
August 14 2010 at 11:11AM
If Nadia Chetty fails to claim her dead husband’s body – which has been kept in the freezer at a funeral parlour for over a year now – by next week, the owner will bury him without her consent.
Nadia’s husband, Sandton specialist Dr Gonasilan Chetty, died of a heart attack while on holiday with his family in Port Elizabeth last year.
But the mother-of-two was so devastated that she refused to bury her partner because she believed he would be resurrected.
West Rand funeral home owner Chadwin Kerr told the Saturday Star he was fed up with the situation and now planned to take the matter into his own hands.
“I called (Nadia) last week. I tried to talk rationally to her. But she didn’t give me a chance to speak. She just said she is not ready to bury her husband. She wants me to keep him here.”
In February, Nadia begged Kerr to keep Chetty’s body for another year, adamant that her husband would be resurrected.
At the time, Kerr feared that if Nadia didn’t come to claim her husband’s body soon, he would be forced to give the doctor a pauper’s burial.
“She came here a few weeks ago and asked to look at her husband,” Kerr told the Saturday Star at the time, “I took her to the body and begged her to look at him. I told her that she needed to bury him. I told her that she was being disrespectful to her husband. Later she told me she would return soon to bury him. But she never came back.”
The Chettys belonged to the Logos Bible Church in Centurion, and in March, Gonasilan’s family members accused the church of misleading Nadia about her husband’s “return to life”.
Said a spokesman for Gonasilan’s sister, who did not want to be named: “She is a member of the Logos Bible Church, which is a cult, and they are misleading her that they can resurrect her husband.
She even leaves a phone there so that he can phone her when he wakes up.”
Logos Bible Church pastor Shandrey Thumbran said Nadia and Gonasilan had been good friends with him and his wife Reyahana. Thumbran denied influencing Nadia not to bury her husband, saying her actions had come directly from her faith in God’s Word that “He will bring her husband back to life”.
Kerr, meanwhile, said Chetty now owes him almost R100 000. “It isn’t about the money. I just want her to do the right thing. But if she doesn’t claim her husband’s body in the next week, I am going to give him a pauper’s burial.”

Widow gives up on miracle
2010-08-25 23:25
Hilda Fourie, Beeld
Centurion – For a whole year a woman went to a mortuary in Johannesburg every week and prayed that her husband would rise from the dead.
On Monday Nadia Chetty had her husband, Dr Seelan Chetty, 40, cremated.
“I think she finally realised he’s not coming back,” André Kerr, co-owner of Kerr’s Funeral Parlour in Johannesburg, said on Wednesday.
“She always hoped he would wake up, but she has now realised that he is dead.”
Dr Chetty died of a heart attack on August 10 last year in Port Elizabeth. His body was taken to Kerr’s Funeral Parlour. Nadia refused to bury her husband and forbade his family from making any funeral arrangements.
Apparently she belongs to a church group known only as Lagos.
Kerr said Nadia and a pastor came to the funeral parlour every week to pray for Dr Chetty. His body was embalmed.
She informed Kerr on Friday that she wants to have her husband cremated, and on Monday they held a ceremony, attended only by family members.
According to Kerr, this is the first time he’s come across something like this in his 35 years in the industry.
Kerr says initially they charged Nadia R400 per day to store Dr Chetty’s body.
By the time that Dr Chetty was cremated, the account was over R130 000.
Kerr has written off the account.
“The worst part is that there are some people who simply can’t live without their life partners,” said Kerr.
The couple have two young daughters.

Wow, I just got here, and agree with all the comments concerning these charlatans, but it’s the first time I’ve actually read details on Benny Hinn. I can’t stop laughing. Is he serious? Can he really be serious? The man is seriously deranged. What drugs are these people on?

Can the dead be raised??
Kari Holma
From BelieveTheSign
Jump to: navigation, search
In the 1940s, William Branham saw a vision of a young boy being raised from the dead after being hit by a car. Rather than keeping the details of this vision a secret, William Branham retold this vision during various campaigns, including his Canadian campaigns in the 1940s, and told people to write the vision down in the fly-leaf of their Bibles.
This vision was finally fulfilled in 1950 in Finland. The boy, Kari Holma, was killed in an automobile accident, and was restored to life by the prayers of William Branham as instructed in the vision.
The following is an article by William Branham that appeared in a special overseas edition of The Voice of Healing magazine, published in June, 1950.
The Vision
One morning at about 3 A.M., I was awakened out of my sleep to find that the angel of the Lord was in the room to show me a vision. By the spirit I was transported in the vision to a scene where an accident had just happened. I saw that a little boy of about eight or ten years of age had been killed. He had light brown hair and his clothes looked very ragged and torn. Some men were taking the child to a hospital or funeral home.
It was at that moment that the angel of the Lord told me to kneel and pray that the child’s life would return to him. That I did, and life was restored and he lived. Now this vision is to come to pass in the future. I have told it to hundreds of people all the way from Canada to Florida. Many have written it on the flyleaf of their Bible. About two weeks after the vision appeared to me, I was telling it to a crowd of people at a tent meeting in Miami, Florida. The next evening when I was coming to the service, I was taken to a crowd of people waiting just behind the tent. They had a little boy about five years old that had been drowned that morning in a canal. But when I saw the child I said it was not the boy I had seen in the vision. So I offered a prayer of sympathy for the family.
Fulfillment: A Boy Dies
…It was in Kuopio, Finland, when the Lord Jesus fulfilled the vision that He had shown me some two years before. It was that of a little boy with light brown hair which was raised from the dead. I was with a group of ministers, who were coming down from a mountain where we had been praying and singing hymns.
Among the ministers were Brother Gordon Lindsay and Brother Jack Moore, whom I am associated with. A motor car some 300 yards ahead of us struck a little boy, throwing him to the ground, and then ran over him with such force that it threw him back near the sidewalk.
Fulfillment: A Boy is Resurrected
Brother Jack Moore picked him up and brought him back into the car with us. We saw that he was dead. I looked at the little boy and thought I recognized him. Then I remembered that he was the little boy I had seen in the vision, who was eight or ten years old, with light brown hair and who was poorly dressed. I held him to my body and began to pray. Suddenly his life came back.
The Mystery of the second child
Arriving at the hospital, we were surprised to learn that the car had struck another little boy, and had knocked him to the other side of the road. We had not seen him because he was hidden from our view, and another car had picked him up and rushed him to the hospital. After two days he was still unconscious.
The parents of both children came to the hotel to see me. The father and mother of the first boy were so happy because the Lord had given life back to their son according to the vision that He had showed me.
But with sadness the other parents looked at me and said, “What about our boy? Is he going to live?”
I replied that I could not say.
But they answered, “You have told the other parents that their boy would live; can’t you say something for our boy?”
But I said that I could say nothing until the Lord showed me. Then they began to weep.
I then asked the parents if they were Christians. They replied that they belonged to the church but were not saved. I then asked them if God saved their boy, would they serve the Lord all their days and teach the child to do so.
With tears they answered that they would. Then we all knelt and prayed. I said in my prayer, “Father, please have mercy on us and save their son.” Then I returned to my room.
The news was brought to me about that time that unbelievers standing by at the scene of the accident, when the boy was killed, had said, “There is the ‘divine healer’ from America whom they are all talking about. Now let us see what he will do.”
When they heard that the dead boy was raised, then they said, “Why doesn’t he do something for the other boy who has been unconscious for two days?” That is what my interpreter, Sister Isaacson, reported that the people were telling the parents of the child that was dying in the hospital.
I then said to Sister Isaacson, “I can do nothing until God shows me what to do That is what Jesus said in John 5:19. I can only pray.” That night I prayed again for the boy. The report came from the hospital the next day that he was just barely alive, and life seemed to be going fast.
The following evening, after returning from the service, I was in my hotel room. The angel of the Lord came into my room. Before me were placed two Easter flowers, one leaning to the south and another to the north. That is just the way the boys’ bodies fell when the car struck them. The one toward the north was the one they took up dead, and the Lord healed. The other one to the south was the smaller lad, who was still unconscious these three days.
Then the flower toward the north sprang up at once, strong and alive, but the other one toward the south was fading away and dying fast. The angel made me to understand that the vision represented the two boys.
Then he showed me two pieces of candy which had just been given me before I came into the room. The angel said, “Take one piece and eat it.” I did, and it tasted good. Then he said to me. “Take the other piece.”
But the second piece did not taste just right, and I started to take it from my mouth. But the angel seemed to say, “If you do that the other boy will die.” So I quickly ate the other piece. Then the flower was alive again in the other vision. When the vision was over, I hastened to the room of Brother Lindsay and Brother Moore. I said to my brethren, “Thus saith the Lord concerning the boy.”
Then I repeated the vision to the others of the party. I said, “God showed me another vision three weeks before in London, and it came to pass perfectly. So this vision also shall come to pass. The boy shall live.”
Sister May Isaacson, the interpreter, tried to call the parents of the boy and tell them what I had said, but they had gone to the hospital, for it had been told them that the boy was dying. But when they arrived at the hospital, they discovered that something had happened. The lad had awakened out of his unconscious condition.
When they reported this to Sister May, she asked, “What time did this happen?”
They said, “While we were watching for him to take his last breath, he suddenly became conscious. It was 10 o’clock at the time.” When the doctors examined the boy, they reported that he would be all right. After checking the time of the vision, I found that it was just 10 o’clock when the angel of the Lord had come into my room.
All praise to the power of Jesus’ Name. Let angels prostrate fall. Bring forth the royal diadem, and crown Him Lord of all!

Ohhh baloney! Gee you will believe anything you are told eh? Amazingly there is ALWAYS NEVER PROOF. I wonder why… *grins*
Deborah – Would you believe even if you had proof? Seeing is not believing. Faith is believing and only Jesus is the author of that. Without love we are nothing.
S
Firstly, FAITH is believing without SEEING. Oh wait, there is no secondly.
Regarding “faith like potatoes” Angus Buchan.
I watched the film (last night)and like most it was emotional. But then I listened to the “real” Buchan speak. Either his whole story is a complete fabrication (is there any real proof that those things happened) or it happened and he has since become infected by Word Faith doctrine. Here is a testimony from someone who knew him personally:
He now (maybe always has)seems to preach faith in FAITH rather than faith in Jesus. Now, he may well have started out well and those miracles may have happened, but I would like to see the proof first.
We are to be as wise as serpents, innocent and doves – NOT gullible.
Consider, had anyone heard of Angus Buchan before his book and movie were produced? If that amazing potato crop miracle really happened, wouldn’t that story have spread like wild fire? It would have done! Here are my following observations, which tell me that something does not add up and smells fishy:
1) According to the film there were Thousands packed into a football stadium as he led farmers into prayer for their farms (is there any archive proof, btw, that this event happened?).
2) If that meeting took place, would not the name of Angus Buchan have spread?
Especially after God provided the event to take place in the first place. Surely it did, but how many people had heard of him until his book was written?
3) Angus had declared that farmers should plant potatoes in faith because God would bring the rain. Many would have known of his own act of faith of planting the potatoes in dead soil and with no rain for 4 months, yet it produced a bumper harvest. Why are there no records of this event in news archives?
4) How is it that no-one knows about him or the miracles until reading about it in his book.
Has the miracles (especially the miraculous bumper harvest) been verified? I cannot find any verification on that miracle anywhere on the internet. Does anybody have a link which has a verifiable proof of the miracle BEFORE his book was written?
Incidentally, it may help my search if I know what year that miracle took place. I cannot find a record of what year. Does anybody know?
By the way. Faith is believing in what GOD has said, not what MAN says and not faith in an unsubstantiated miracle said to have happened. Faith is belief in what will happen before it is fulfilled. This forum is not discussing things BEFORE they happen but discussing things that have been stated as HAVE happened already.
So if God states in His Word what we should believe in and trust Him in, then faith arises in our hearts because GOD said it. If God speaks to our heart that He will heal us, then faith trusts in HIM to do it. It is not trusting in whether we have enough faith, ie faith in faith. If God heals us it is OBVIOUS and verifiable. Many say, “I am healed, by faith I believe it”. Still, if God heals (after a season of faith) you no longer need to believe because your faith has become CONCRETE.
Surely God does not mess about with us. He either heals us in an obvious clear way or you are not healed.
John
Right on bro. He is false. And has always been part of the New Apostolic Reformation or Apostolic Faith Mission here in SA. There are other lies in his Faith like Potatoes book as well regarding where his ‘adopted’ kids were born. What about the person in his book who was struck by lightening and through his prayer, raised from the dead? Did the person go to hospital afterwards for a check up? hmm.
I’ve done all my homework on him and his friends here: https://www.discerningtheworld.com/category/pastors-teachers-speakers/a/angus-buchan-shalom-ministries/

Hi Deborah
I checked through that link above and read your excellent article but did not find answers to my specific questions. Therefore, I have now copied and pasted it to that newer article asking you to publish it, because maybe, just maybe one of your readers can answer my specific questions regarding the evidence of that miraculous potato crop, the first prayer meeting and the resurrected child.
Thanks and God bless

Noooo problem.
I have known people to have been raised from the dead. One was often dead drunk, one was dead religious and one was dead legalistic. They repented and now they are raised to real life.
In fact, all of us Born-Again Christians were dead in trespasses and sins and are now raised up to sit in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Check out Ephesians 2:1-6.)
Martin
>> I have known people to have been raised from the dead. One was often dead drunk, one was dead religious and one was dead legalistic. They repented and now they are raised to real life.
haha ;P funny
Hi,
I know of more than one Christian teacher who openly testifies about being a part of or knowing someone raised from the dead.
I had also met someone at a place I used to work who God had raised (possibly from medical death) after severe severe blood loss. It was profound enough that the doctors were asking questions.
If you believe in Jesus, you could ask him about it. Or you could pray for God to help you find more examples of legitmate documented miracles. I know John G. Lake had a large number of documented medical miracles, adn would not be suprised if raising the dead were among them.
Peace and thank you,
Christine
Christine
>> I had also met someone at a place I used to work who God had raised (possibly from medical death)
Your said “possibly“, so you are not even sure. You did not ask this person for proof, you are just taking their word for it.
People ‘die‘ all the time (their heart stops) in theater but their soul does not leave their body because they are not dead.
>> If you believe in Jesus, you could ask him about it.
I would ask the same of you, go and open your bible and study the Word of God on this matter. The answer is as simple as a no and here is why…
Please read this: Testing the Spirits – True Spiritual Discernment and then
False foundation of 5 Fold Ministry and Can Satan Heal? and Are Prophets for Today or has Prophecy Ceased? and Yes, a Future Kingdom, but Not a Kingdom Now and The Biblical Holy Spirit vs.The False Unholy Spirit of Fire
Christine
>> John G. Lake had a large number of documented medical miracles
If you ask for those documents for the names of the people, and you follow up I BET YOU A SQUILLION Zimbabwean Dollars that there is nothing!
mmm, makes sense. You pose the question and the you also make the rules on how they should be answered.
Nice touch. So I take it there would be no confirmed raising of the dead on this site so no glory to Jesus Christ. When is a miracle a miracle? When no heart is touched and no glory is given to the Lord or when at least a single heart is touched? There is a lot of death on these pages posted by Christians that opposing religions have little to worry about. Nice going brothers & sisters.
Dan
Th article states:
We have to sift the liars from the genuine 🙂 There are many fruitcakes out there that will tells a story just for the sake of telling a story. But if someone has been REALLY risen from the dead, then by golly there will be EVIDENCE 🙂 And we would like to see it.
Dan, if someone poses a question and their replies are false, we have to discern how and why they are false. Once we have discovered why, it is our duty to report it. It does not mean that when we do we are posing the rules than dictating the answers.
To maintain that is what’s happened is a serious allegation. It is also a wrong one because it is the Scriptural thing to do. It is not only Scriptural, it is logical.
I am convinced that Christians who seek after signs and wonders (the people the Lord called “an evil and adulterous generation”–He said it, not I) would probably be less blown about by every wind of doctrine if they just learnt a little bit of logic.
It is very sad that people who are not even Christians but who are logical can see through religous charlatans and quacks while religious folk, of any sort, cannot.
The reason logical folk spot charlatans a mile off–and are rarely fooled by religious quacks or politicians–is because they can tell the difference betwen a “for instance” and evidence, and between evidence and fact, and between fact and actual proof. They know these are not all the same thing.
One reason I have been attracted to this site is because I have noticed the Deborah can discern these diffences. (Whether she is naturally logical, as some people are, or this is totally through the power of the holy spirit–though I can see the Holy Spirit at work in her writings–I don’t know. But she definitely has logical discernment.)
I was a Roman Catholic, and later a member of another cult. I have read many of the writings of various cultists and signs and wonders merchants, and heard them speak, and one thing I have noticed about those who believe them is that they do not understand these simple diffences between evidence and facts, &c. It is blatantly obvious to those who do not believe them. It is also what these deceivers play on.
The really sad thing is that this is why many logical people reject Christianty. They think that if Christians fall for such ridiculous nonsense they must be really foolish. On that point they are correct.
I am not saying that logic will lead you in to all truth as the Holy Spirit will, but it can help you to deal with charlatans and quacks–if you will not allow the Holy Spirit to lead you to understand His Word.
I am not saying that people are deliberately allowing themselves to be lead astray. But they are simply unable to spot a charlatan because they are not obeying 1 Thess 5:21 and/or 1 John 4:1. Those are biblical commands. They are not suggestions.
Now, even if these charlatans leading people astray are sincere–which they may well be–that is not the point. It means they are sincerely wrong. Hitler and Stalin were sincere and so are Moslem suicide bombers.
Most–perhaps even all of these deceivers–are leading people astray deliberately to gain followers. That is not a mere opinion. If you think it is read Acts 20:30.
The Bible is clear that such deceivers, appearing as angels (messengers in the Greek) of light, will be common in these Last Days. Some of them even ridicule that we live in the End Times [2 Peter 3:4].
Maybe you should use a little logic and ask yourself how many of these signs and wonders merchants hammer the point of Christ’s soon return. Instead, I hear them talk lots of revival when the Bible itself talks of apostasy. Maybe you should seriously consider, then, if these people are apostates.
These are the very ones who make the rules of how questions should be answered. As you apparently don’t see it, it might be worth your while to read a book or two on logic as you’re plainly not heeding what the Bible says.
Ha! I love what Martin said, ain’t that the truth!
It is sad that people are so deceived.. and it is also sad that so many ‘believers’ have this human NEED for signs and wonders! It is a wonder that God puts up with us humans at all, and for this long! Most importantly, it is a ‘wonder’ and a ‘miracle’ that Jesus gave His life for me and that He saved me!
I have miracles happen to me all the time, I see them in my every day life. I do not need to go to some kooky service and hear and see a fake preacher using his ungodly ‘power’ to push people over, and proclaim that someone is ‘healed’. What is MIRACULOUS?? Maybe the answer to that is they are fortunate that the Lord has not struck them down yet!
As for people being raised from the dead.. some people are such ‘thrill’ and sign seekers that they will believe anything.. I do believe that people are saved and kept from horrible situations, even death, all the time, and some even raised from the dead. God does not need to throw fire down from heaven for me to believe that He does the impossible every day!
Fully agree with Martin.
If I recall…Deborah has challenged certain claims by certain posters to come back with authentic certified medical evidence (cannot remember under which topic).Maybe Deb’s you can point to which post this challenge was raised.
Not a single one of these posters have come back because they cannot…it simply is not true.
Martin is right too when he says the unbelieving world makes mockery of “Christians” they make false claims…the unbelieving world does not distinguish between false and authentic Christians…how can they…a blind man cannot see…we are all lumped together in the same boat.
False Christians do more damage than unbelievers…double damage. I’ve known people that were genuinely seeking an answer to life…ready to receive the true gospel that have been totally put off because they happened to be people that are honest and have integrity…have a certain amount of intelligence and cannot swallow this garbage.
We ARE to expose them…they are terribly dangerous.
Thank you, Grant…you win the award for best comedian today. You got a LOL from moi.
Debs…what a great site! Just another discussion that gets a few nods. When you ask the right questions, you get the right answers. Like where’s the proof? I can relate with so much and so many. Now, looking at Benny the Hinn’s con game, I wonder how I could have been so blind and stupid. I have no answer….self deluded, covetous, gullible little sheep that I was…urg. Is it any wonder I have learned not to take myself seriously? I am seriously, more humble than I used to be, but far from the example of Christ, servant of mankind who left his glory to bring me into a right relationship with the Father God.
Debs, I can see why you are being attacked. Devil don’t like this site one bit. He gonna make you eat dirt…but you don’t have to swallow it…remember…
Jesus Christ is Alive! He lives. He was raised from the dead. he said “these SIGNS will follow them that believe” Many are offended by SIGNS. A sign is a token bearing testimony to something greater than the sign. However people focus on the sign and not the message being confirmed by the sign. Even if ONE sign is given, it is enough! After all, it was just a sign. WE may wish for every person to be raised. That won’t happen all the time… just yet. God has a plan. One day everyone will be raised up. These days, he just shows signs or tokens that this great event will someday take place.
I have not raised the dead but spoken to a man who had died and rose again. Unfortunately, I have no death certificate. But, believe you me. Jesus did raise the dead. it is documented. It is documented also that he said that this will continue to all who believe. Peter in Acts 2 said, the promise of the holy ghost was for all generations. raising the dead is part of it. SIGNS!! They are here. just believe.
I know a church in walkerville.I am a member. There have been a number of reported resurrections. It doesn’t happen all the time but there have been times when the dead have risen. I have personally spoken to a man who prayed for a dead baby who came back to life. I have seen and greeted a man who had died but came back to life. This is El Tabernacle. The Lord leads this flock through Apostle Edgar Hill Roscoe and a number of pastors and preachers.
Peter
YES, Jesus ROSE from the dead and ASCENDED into heaven and YES Jesus RAISED people from the DEAD.
But no man has been raised in this day and age. You are talking nonsense. I love how you contradict yourself, you say, “there have been a NUMBER of reported resurrections” and then you say, “it DOESN’T happen all the time” Errrr like which is it. And where have they been reported? Why does the NEWS not report these miraculous miracles? Because they do not exist Peter.
You spoke to a man who prayed for a dead baby who came back to life? How do you know this man is not lying? And how do you know the baby was not properly dead!
It astounds me that after all these REPORTED resurections that you still follow a false gospel (Latter Rain), what’s the point of the dead coming to life and you follow a FALSE CHRIST because of it.
>> You say “Peter in Acts 2 said, the promise of the holy ghost was for all generations. raising the dead is part of it. SIGNS!!
You do not read your bible correctly (Read this article to understand Acts 2 properly: Your Sons and Your Daughters Will Prophesy, But Not Yet… ).
>> They are here. just believe.
This is “emotional hype”. You believe in something that is TRUE, not something that is NOT TRUE, this is not peter pan and tinker bell. You don’t go around just believing in any old story people throw your way.
Oh please Peter, who are you paying to tell you all that nonsense?
>>>Apostle Roscoe repented at age 20 and straightway followed the message of the prophet William Marrion Branham. Having being voted in as pastor to a small local Johannesburg assembly in 1973, Apostle Roscoe reluctantly and only on persuasion by the assembly accepted this responsibility.<<<
I find myself waking up sometimes wishing I was dead does that count? :o)
