Pastor: Prayer Brought Boy Back From
The Dead
A
California pastor and his wife say they witnessed a modern day miracle after
praying for a boy with no pulse and no signs of life and seeing him open his
eyes and begin breathing.
Pastor
Eric Angeles of New Hope International Christian Center in Norwalk was at home
with his wife, Ruth, when he heard a loud noise outside.
Seconds
later he heard shouting.
When
he opened his front door he saw a young boy who'd been hit by a pickup truck
lying in the street. People who were first on the scene of the accident said
they checked for a pulse, but there was none.
"The boy was motionless,"
Eric told CBN News.
Ruth
rushed out of their home to pray for the boy, whose parents were standing next
to him crying. After a few minutes of praying over the boy, Ruth said the Holy
Spirit told her to call out his name.
"I was asking, 'Lord give this
boy life, give back the boy his life' and I was praying, 'In the name of Jesus,
in the name of Jesus, wake up, wake up,' and then like a couple of minutes,
nothing happened...and then I heard the Spirit telling me, 'Call his name, call
his name," she said.
The
boy's sister was kneeling next to him, so Ruth asked for his name.
"Leonel,"
the girl relplied.
"So I was calling out, 'Leonel!'
I said, 'Leonel can you hear my voice...Leonel if you can hear my voice call on
the name of Jesus, Jesus can heal you,' and then I was praying for that, crying
out," Ruth said.
Eric
said the Holy Spirit also spoke to him, telling him to embrace the boy's
father, who was very distraught.
He
then said the words in Spanish, "Llame
el nobre de Jesus," which means "Call on the name of Jesus." Eric
told CBN News he did not understand these words, but spoke by the unction of
God.
Ruth
continued to call the boy's name and prayed that Jesus would bring life back
into his body.
Moments
later, 9-year-old Leonel blinked his eyes and gasped for breath.
"When his eyes blinked once, I
know there's life already there, God already answered our prayers," Ruth
explained. "The people around me were not Christians at all but then I
told them you know his eyes blinked, I know he's alive."
Leonel
suffered a broken hip, broken ribs, a fractured skull, a fractured spine, blood
clots, dislocated shoulder and collarbone. One of the boy's doctors told the
family it's a miracle he's alive.
"I've seen some miracles of
healing like goiter disappearing, blind eyes seeing. But this is the first time
I ever experienced someone brought back to life from the dead,"
Eric
said. "He was dead around six
minutes, his eyes were fixated and there really was no life in him at
all."
Would you want to have a deeper relationship with God?
God has made it possible
for you to know Him and experience an amazing change in
your own life by receiving His Son, Jesus Christ, and have eternal life.
Say the following
prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have
separated me from you.
I am truly sorry. I
now want to turn away from my past sinful life and live a new life pleasing to
you.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that your son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was
resurrected from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and
reign in my heart from this day forward. Thank you that according to your Word,
I am now born again.
Please send your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do
Your will for the rest of my life. Please use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.”

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing the mercies of the LORD.
With my mouth will I make known
your faithfulness your faithfulness;
With my mouth will I make known
your faithfulness to all generations.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD.
I will sing, I will sing.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing the mercies of the LORD.
With my mouth will I make known
your faithfulness your faithfulness;
With my mouth will I make known
your faithfulness to all generations.
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD forever,
I will sing of the mercies of the LORD.
