Two testimonies of raising the dead:
“Death did not end my life”
“Story of the healing in Texas:
At the Principia Lower School, we have a ‘chapel’ time each Monday. Several years ago when I was a teacher there, I heard a chapel that has stayed with me all through these years. An older man (Jack Door) told of a healing of a little boy that he heard when he was traveling through a tiny town in Texas. He said the woman stood up and said,
“When I was newly divorced and my young son and I had moved here, I worked with him daily to claim “who he really was.” When he would go out to play, I would ask him,
“Do you know who you really are?” He would answer me, “Yes, Mom, I know who I really am.”
Sam: “Mom, can I go out to play?”
Mom: “Yes, son, you can go out, but do you know who you really are?”
Sam: Yes, mom, I know I’m God’s perfect child.”
One day I received a phone call telling me he had drowned in the local pool and to come very quickly. I hung up the phone and affirmed who he really was as God’s own child.
Then I affirmed that HE knew who he really was. When I arrived at the pool, they were putting the towel over his face in the ambulance. I went up to him and said, “Sam, do you know who you really are?” And he sat up, and said, “Yes, Mom, I know who I really am.”
The man who gave this chapel said he wanted to verify this healing before he shared it with us, and it had been about fifteen years before when he had heard it. He looked in a Journal thinking maybe a local practitioner might be aware of the story. He found one woman listed. He called and related what he had heard and asked her if she knew anything about it. She said yes, she was that woman. When her son and she had moved into the town, people would make fun of them because they were CS. (It was the Bible belt, you see, and people thought CS was a cult.) So she made sure she and her son affirmed each day who they were as God’s child. When this healing took place, she said she had people knocking on her door in the middle of the night asking how it had happened. She told the man that this healing propelled her into the practice and she had been a practitioner ever since. Her son was grown and well and married.
