A man of God
I met a very young man of God this morning, his name is Dinesh. He looked like a teenager, but I guess he actually was in the early twenties! He was very calm, kind of surrounded by divine peace, as he told his story.
A Hindu priest and his wife came to him with a dead child, a seven years old boy. The child had been dead for several hours and the priest had heard rumours about this young man of God and approached him as his last hope to see his son come back to life.
Dinesh the young man of God prayed for the dead boy but nothing happened. Then he got hold of another believer and they prayed for the child the second time. When they started to pray the second time for the boy, he started to move a little bit and as they continued to pray the boy was brought back to life! When they finished praying the child immediately asked his mother for milk!
The whole priestly family came to Christ that day and were baptised!
When Dinesh told his story it was like he told something very natural, something ordinary, something normal that happened to him. And indeed it seems to be very natural to a man of God to see miracles like this take place because of prayer.
