“International Call for Action to Pray for a Miracle for Whitney Houston”

Author’s Note: This is a delicate subject and I am writing this article out of love. I am just being an obedient, humble, and faithful daughter. It is true, “when one member of the body of Christ suffers, then we all suffer” (1 Corinthians 12:26-27). There are way too many “young people” who are dying too soon. Many Christians have told them that they have never witnessed or personally experienced a “miracle”. God says that “my people are destroyed from a lack of knowledge”. It seems like de ja vu. We lost the late Michael Jackson on June 25, 2009. This date has been etched in my mind permanently. There are many similarities between these 2 International Superstars. Our hearts and prayers went out to the Jackson’s family and now the whole world is grieving again, but this time for the Houston’s family. As Christians, we should hate the sin, but love the person. Sometimes we forget that there are 2 very separate entities. Like Jesus, we should remember his/her sin no more. As Christians, we are called to take every opportunity to help those in need. I believe that this is one of those “opportunities”. My heart is aching for her daughter who is distraught over the unexpected lost of her mother. If it is written in the Bible and it is one of Jesus Christ promises, shouldn’t we trust and believe that He can do it? We are not of the world and we should not think like the world. We should be “walking not by sight, but by faith”. In James 1:22, it states, “but be ye doers of the Word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves”. If we do our part, then Jesus Christ will do His part, but we have to take the first step in order for a miracle to occur.

February 17, 2012- Trenton, N.J. -“Hold On, Help Is On The Way” is the song sung by Whitney Houston, which was written by Pastor Kenneth Paden. It is ironic that the lyrics to this song are applicable to her right now. Since Sunday, God has spoke to me that she is “sleeping” and we should be praying for her and her family. Since then, I have heard several people of television, like former football player Chris Sanders who was a guest on Praise the Lord on TBN and he mentioned the story of Lazarus (John 11:1-44) who was raised from the dead by Jesus Christ. After reading the story, it occurred to me that Jesus Christ says that she needs to be awakened out of her sleep, like He did for Lazarus. He spoke to me to do several things. I began to think: Is this why the enemy has been “trying to kill me” all of my life for such a time as this? Many of my friends, family, associates & even church members do not realize that they have sold their souls by working for Satan. We are taught as Christians to be bold and fearless. This is what Pastor Donald McClurkin Jr. teaches his “sheep” to be. I know the truth and the Word of God is the only truth! Will anyone else stand with me in knowing this truth?
Jesus Christ’s Great Commission

Jesus Christ commanded the twelve disciples in Matthew 10:7-8, “And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils; freely ye have received, freely give.” In Mark 16:15-18 states, “And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be dammed. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing; it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. Furthermore, He states in Matthew 28:20, “teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you.” I recently learned about this wonderful website, www.demonbuster.com, which has prayers for casting out demons, breaking generational curses, breaking curses placed on African-Americans, American Indians and several other cultures. Are your pastors, ministers, or rabbis preaching on these subjects? If not, have you studied these subjects on your own during your devotion time with God? Yes, the shepherd is responsible for the sheep, but the sheep has to take responsibility for his/her spiritual walk with God.
Stories Of People Being “Raised From The Dead” In The Bible
In the Bible, there are several stories about people being raised from the dead in the Old and New Testament by Jesus Christ, Paul, Peter, Elisa, and Elijah: (Go to the website to see the list.)
Stories Of People Being “Raised From The Dead” Today

Did you know that there are people being raised from the dead today in the 21st century? Maybe, you were told, like I was, that happened in Jesus’ time. I was “tricked” into believing those lies. Unless you are watching alternative news or Christian programs, you will not hear about the miracles that God is doing and raising the dead is one of them. God is working through people around the world who have prayed over dead people and they were raised from the dead. It has NEVER STOPPED! Here are 4 people who God has worked through to raise people from the dead:
1. Surprise Sithole- (www.surprisesithole.com) Surprise Sithole has raised 8 people from the dead. Those under him prayed for more than 100 people and they came back to life! He waits until the person is dead for at least 4 days before he goes to them and prays for them. He even wrote a book, “Faith to Raise the Dead” about his experiences and how people can learn to do it as well. Surprise has been featured on Sid Roth’s show, It’s Supernatural.

2. Dr. Chauncey W. Crandall- (www.chaunceycrandall.com) Dr. Chauncey W. Crandall is a Yale educated cardiologist who prays for his patients in Palm Beach, Florida who died and they were raised from the dead. He encourages his fellow doctors to get involved in a church, meet with a minister and attend a healing service run by people that believe in the power of Jesus Christ. He says that the Lord is real. He has seen many miracles and they pray for their patients daily. He has even detailed his experiences to his colleagues at the World Christian Doctors Network (www.wcdn.org) Conference. He has written a book, “Raising The Dead: A Doctor Encounters The Miraculous” about his experiences of raising his patients from the dead. In the July 15, 2007 article “Famed Heart Doctor Tells the Dramatic Story of How a Patient of his was “Raised from the Dead” after Prayer”, he states, “There was no life in the man. His face and feet and arms were completely black with death and I sat next to his body and I prayed. Lord, Father; how am I going to pray for this man? He’s dead. What can I do? All of a sudden, these words came out of my mouth, “Father, God, I cry out for the soul of this man if he does not know You as his Lord and Savior, please raise him from the dead right now in Jesus name.” It was amazing as a couple minutes later, we were looking at the monitor and all of a sudden a heart beat showed up. It was a perfect beat; a normal beat. There was nurse in the room—she wasn’t a believer- and she screamed out and said “Doctor Crandall, what have you done to this patient? And I said, “All I’ve done is cry out for his soul in Jesus name.”

3. February 9, 2012 Article: Former Muslim raised from the dead shocked her neighbors, won many to Christ by Mark Ellis, http://blog.godreports.com/2012/02/former-muslim-raised-from-the-dead-shocked-her-neighbors-won-many-to-christ/ A relatively young mother of nine children, Fatuma Shubisa died. After mourning her death for 12 hours, God brought a miracle that touched many lives. Fatuma also met her mother-in-law in heaven. “She was begging them to send me back so I could raise my children,” she recalls. Meanwhile, a missionary named Warsa Buta was walking nearby and saw the crowd gathered around Fatuma’s home. When he learned of her passing, he went inside and began to pray. Some wondered why he prayed, since she had already been dead 12 hours. When he heard the murmuring, he persisted in prayer, because he remembered the promise God gave him as a young believer, that he would be used in such a time as this. Could this be the day? “I had faith the Lord would work through me,” Warsa says. “I prayed as Peter prayed, ‘Fatuma, be raised…I ask you in the name of the Lord, come to life…“Fatuma, be raised in the name of Jesus!” Suddenly, Fatuma sat up in the bed, as everyone gasped in astonishment.

4. Article: “A Second Chance: Daniel: Raised from the Dead” by Susan Mann and Ken Hume from www.cbn.com. This is a story about Pastor Daniel Ekechukwu who died in a car accident. His wife prayed to God reminding Him about his promises and even argued with God. She took her dead husband’s body in the basement of the church while there was a Reinhard Bonnke’s prayer service being held there. As they were praying, his eyes opened up and they massaged his body due to the rigor mortis. He was alive. Her tenacity payoff because he was raised from the dead after 3 days in the mortuary and now she and her children have their husband and father back in their lives. Pastor Ekechukwu continues to preach and is warning everyone who will listen of the judgment to come-and the promise of everlasting life to those who trust in the name of Jesus.
