Do you follow the Gospel of Mark that in the NAME of Jesus/ I say Yeshua be healed, or whatever mountain you are facing before the miracle happens?

Come to think of it, many of the miracles or signs I’ve seen worked through me were in the presence of unbelievers or those weak/young in the faith.

It always involves prayer, making sure those who hear it know this is for the glory of God, in Jesus name.

Sometimes it isn’t instantaneous.

One time I prayed for someone’s epilepsy to cease and after 3 days it did and never returned.

Why did it take 3 days? I was informed in a dream. In this dream she was on an operating table surrounded by angels with their hands on her, I was at the door holding it closed as an impish looking demon was trying to get in. The demon/unclean spirit had to be binded first.

This is an important aspect of how these things work. I learned it through experience.

That is exactly the point, and you proved it.

We can have these things now - life, resurrection, knowledge of God, a heavenly home - now - because He alone gives them to us. None of these things are of the world, and when He had not yet revealed Himself to us, being born of a virgin the only 'son' of The heavenly Father, no man had knowledge of God, no man had life, no man had true resurrection - to eternal life - and no man was born of heaven.

It is through Jesus Christ and Jesus Christ alone that any man has anything - no man is the origin of life and resurrection and knowledge of God, but Christ. The Son of Man alone among men gives these things to men.

Who does this make Him?

Not just someone who has risen,
He is The Resurrection

Not just someone who is alive,
He is The Life

Not just someone who knows what is right,
He is The Truth

Not just someone who walks wisely,
He is The Way

God raised Jesus from the dead:

Acts 2:24
24Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.

Not just someone who is alive,

For those who follow his way that was given to him by the Father.

Jesus spoke the truth from his Father:

John 12
49For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. 50And I know that his commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the Father said unto me, so I speak.

Not just someone who walks wisely,
He is The Way

The way Jesus showed us is the way the Father showed him.

Following this way leads to life.

You demonstrated that we can have the same blessings and abilities that Jesus had and they come from God the Father. If that’s your only point then I agree.

It is more than you are grasping.

Jesus in one place says "I give them life" - this isn't the same as saying He tells people how to receive life from the Father: Jesus Himself gives it.

No other man has ever done this.

The in another place, even more powerfully, He declares that He Himself is Life.

No other man has ever done this.

Only God can give life:

Deuteronomy 32:39
Now see that I, [even] I, [am] He,
And [there is] no God besides Me;
I kill and I make alive;
I wound and I heal;
Nor [is there any] who can deliver from My hand.

and only God is life - the presence of the breath of the Spirit of Life is what differentiates life from death.



You had said if Jesus was more than a man He must be things no other man can be.
QED He is.
In fact He is things only God alone can be.

What you aren’t grasping is that Jesus was given the authority to do this by his Father, his God.

John 6
37All that the Father giveth me shall come to me; and him that cometh to me I will in no wise cast out. 38For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me. 39And this is the Father's will which hath sent me, that of all which he hath given me I should lose nothing, but should raise it up again at the last day. 40And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.

And so far you’ve failed to demonstrate that the words of life Jesus spoke were something only he could say. Actually, the apostles spoke them too.

John 6
63It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.

James 1
21Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Ephesians 1
13And you also were included in Christ when you heard the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation. When you believed, you were marked in him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit,

I agree many times miracles definitely happen in front of the unbelieving.

What's interesting to me, since I am using the NAME of Jesus/Yeshua, I pray to Yeshua as being God Who is going to make the Miracle happen.

The "Holy Spirit" is another name for God.

Rom 8:11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.

How does this verse say Jesus raised himself from the dead? Also, any person or entity that is dead can't do anything. They are dead.

The Bible clearly states in a couple dozen places that God raised Jesus Christ from the dead.

Also Jesus talking about his body

20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
