Words created the earth as we read in chapter six. We do not need expensive resources to build up a new world. All we need are words. The world as we know today is faced with several challenges, many of which are beyond our capacity. Global warming is a big issue that all of us can agree on a possibility of the world catching fire one day and all of us dying at once. We have diseases that are killing us, even younger ones are taken in their prime and it hurts. We still have many diseases that have no cure, and these are the problems the new world should solve. What is the point of learning if you cannot practice what you have been taught? We have learned that the earth was created by words, so we now implement the lessons learnt.
What if all of us were born into a different system altogether? Do you know that everything we call ‘normal’ today, is all because we came and found them here? Simple things like “Good morning”, we received with joy and accepted the morning greeting. What if God comes back and say to us, ‘I taught you from the beginning to say “Peace be with you and the Lord be with you” to each other when you meet but now I hear this meaningless word, “Hi – Hello” being said everywhere’. It may be a little difficult for some to easily switch from “Hello” greeting to “Peace be with you and the Lord be with you”. However, for the generations to come it would be a smooth ride because they will be born into the new system of greeting which will become “normal” to them just as “good morning” is normal to us.
If we are to learn proper greeting, we look at the greeting that shocked Mary the mother of Jesus when she was visited by angel Gabriel. That is how they greet each other in heaven, and we should emulate them. He said to her, “Greetings, you who are highly favoured! The Lord is with you” (Luke 1:28). Mary was not used to this kind of greeting; we are told she was ‘greatly troubled’ because, obviously, the greeting was a powerful one. She was not born into such magnificent words, but she accepted them with joy and yes, she is the favoured woman of the entire world because she carried our Lord in her, for nine months.
Based on the teaching in chapter 13 of this book, where Jesus gave us the five commissions, I have decided to take one that is dreaded by many, “raising the dead”, so that, we can put it into practice from now onwards (Matthew 10:7-8). The world that I am proposing to create will start in the hospitals so that we can save lives. This generation will call me “mad, crazy or foolish”, however the generations to come will run with it and they will be victorious because this will be “normal” to them. Before we go into the raising of the dead let us help each other with ways to pray for the sick first so that only a few people that do not get their healing will be helped in the next stage, that is the raising of the dead.
A lot of Christians who lost their relatives after fasting and praying for them for a long time get upset with God in many circumstances because they wonder why he did not heal them. All truth can only be found in the Bible not outside the Bible. Let us say I have cancer and I am a believer in Jesus, the Miracle Worker. The doctors have told me plainly that I am going to die based on what they were taught in medical school and out of their experience with cancer patients. As a believer, I am confident in the fact that Jesus Christ has the final say, not the team of consultants attending to me but my Maker. Therefore, together with my fellow believers and relatives we cry out to God and say, “Lord Jesus, please heal me of cancer, I cannot die now, I am too young to go. Oh God in the name of Jesus Christ let this cancer go away, I pray”.
The Lord sits at his throne and watches us say long and short prayers. He watches us fast and pray. You know why? Because he healed me of cancer two thousand and twenty years ago when he was hanged on the cross. “When they heaped abuse on him, he did not retaliate; when he suffered, he made no threats, but entrusted himself to him who judges justly. He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. “By his stripes you are healed”” (1 Peter 2:23-24). Also read Isaiah 53:5 you will discover the same that healing was given on the cross. How then do I live in victory? How then do I get rid of the cancer which is eating me away? The answer is in Matthew 21:21-22. This is the guideline given to us by our WHO in heaven. ““Jesus replied, “Truly I tell you, if you have faith and do not doubt, not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can say to this mountain, ‘Go, throw yourself into the sea,’ and it will be done. If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask for in prayer””.
The cancer on my body or any other disease or problem for that matter, is the mountain. I have to speak by faith to my mountain in the name of Jesus and tell it to get out of my body because it has no right of occupancy there. I have to curse it in the name of Jesus just as the Lord himself cursed the fig tree and it withered, that cancer will obey because it has no other option but to die from its roots and disappear from my body. Everything that exist tangible or not, including cancer, has a hearing capability. When I speak to it, it listens, and it does what I tell it to do. Praying to God to remove my mountain will not happen but speaking to the mountain in the name of Jesus will cause the mountain in my life to melt away. Words create a healing atmosphere around us. God acts on the words he hears us say because confession brings into existence and confession brings possession. What was given long time ago, we should not ask for it, but we claim it in the name of Jesus. If you have car insurance, those guys will not check on you every 3 months, they will not come to give you money to repair your car, you go to them and claim what belongs to you, in the event of an accident. This is the same with our head office in heaven, you claim your healing because Jesus purchased it for you on the cross long before you were born. “He sent out his word and healed them; he rescued them from the grave” (Psalm 107:20). Speaking to your mountain will save you from the grave because the word to heal you was sent long ago.
As a person with cancer in my body I will say: “I curse you cancer in the name of Jesus Christ, you have no right to live in me, get out of my body right now”. My church friends can also pray for me saying, “Cancer, we cast you out in the name of Jesus Christ, loose your hold on her”. All words should be directed to the mountain in the name of Jesus and that goes for any other incurable disease or problem you encounter. This is not only done once, you do it until the cancer is all out of your body. Never doubt, only believe because for some it can take weeks and for some it can take the whole year. Never give up on your conversations and instructions to your mountain to move even if the doctors tell you that it is getting worse keep talking, keep the faith because our world is created with words. (Luke 18:1-8). We live by 1 John 5:4 which tells us that, “This is the victory that has overcome the world, our faith”. We only need faith as tiny as a mustard (Luke 17:6) to see the results we desire. Faith comes by hearing God’s word, read it every day to lift up your faith in Jesus.
In chapter 13 I mentioned that God as our Manufacturer, keeps stock of our body parts in heaven to give to anyone whose body organ fails. Now, let us say again, the doctors tell me the bad news that my heart will fail me in no time. How do I pray to get the heart or any body part from Jesus the great physician? This is all I have to say daily, “Lord Jesus, my heart is about to fail, release a new heart from your bank of organs in heaven. Send it to me oh Lord my Maker. Operate on me and give me a new functioning heart right now. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for the new heart, thank you Oh God for your faithfulness to your word that you sent to heal me”. Any time of day and whenever I get an opportunity, I will be saying, “I will live and not die. There is no benefit to God in my dying. Oh God the grave cannot praise you, death cannot sing your praise; those who go down to the pit cannot hope for your faithfulness (Isaiah 38:18). Lord Jesus, I will live and not die. I will still see the goodness of God in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). Thank you for my new heart”. The more I confess the more I create the environment for my total healing. It is all about words, it is all about what you say. Do not rely on other people’s prayers, they might be too busy to pray for you. Learn to claim healing for yourself and believe in the miracle healing power of God.
How about deformity on the body, how can one claim healing for it? The Bible says healing is the children’s bread (food), for this reason, healing is for every condition including mental health problems just as every human being lives on food, we are all given access to all kinds of healing. Let us say you have a deformed child and want God to make your child perfect (Matthew 12:9-13; Acts 3; Acts 14:8-19). Every day say this to your child until healing comes upon him/her, “Deformity be cursed in Jesus’s name. I curse this deformity from its roots in Jesus’ name. Child, I command you to be normal in the name of Jesus. You crooked legs I command you to be normal in the name of Jesus. You shrivelled hand straighten up and be normal in the name of Jesus. You blind eyes open in the name of Jesus. Child, God gave you a sound mind, I command your mind to be normal in the name of Jesus. Thank you, Lord Jesus, for healing my child. To God be all the glory for this healing”. When you bath your child, touch the areas that needs healing and speak to them always. One day you will see your child by your bedside having walked by him/herself from her room. We serve a Miracle Worker, Jesus Christ.
You don’t say, “Jesus heal my child” because your child was healed on the cross, you command healing to come out of the glory of God that fills this earth into your child. All the goodness we need is not far away in heaven, it is in his glory and the Bible says the earth is filled with God’s Glory (Isaiah 6:3). You speak to the mountain to move out of your house in the name of Jesus. If you are an adult speak to those crooked legs, touch and speak to your ears to open in the name of Jesus, touch and speak to your eyes to open in the name of Jesus. Never give up, never get tired, keep speaking. May God owner his word on your behalf I pray. May God bless his creation continuously. Amen.
Now concerning the raising of the dead, what if all medical staff and all support stuff in hospitals and clinics, from the time they went for training or from the time they got employed in the hospital, were taught certain words to bring people back to life. Don’t you think some people that are lying in the cemetery could have lived? I think throughout this book you have heard me say, “you have nothing to lose by believing”, now I am saying to you, you have nothing to lose by doing what Jesus asked us to do, but you have a lot to gain instead. You have nothing to lose by doing it. It may be awkward or weird in the beginning but for generations to come, it would be their daily bread.
The good thing is that, you don’t have to be a believer to say these words. They will still work whether you are a believer or not. In the Bible we see a group of people that decided to cast out demons following up on what Paul was doing and they were successful for some time but met a stubborn demon that beat them up one day (Acts 19:11-20). I am sure once you see it working you will turn and believe. These are just words that you have to say, take it like a glass of water that a patient can ask for, you don’t have to be a borehole driller to pass on water to someone else, so it is with words, you don’t have to be a priest to say them. Actually, what I am proposing here is work for ordinary people not the clergy. I am not a priest, neither am I in full time ministry or even part time ministry but I believe each person has to contribute something towards the kingdom of God and this book is my contribution. The Spirit of God is now poured upon everyone, therefore, we all have “a special call” on our lives, we can basically do anything that the prophets in the Old Testament used to do for God’s people.
Doctors and nurses together with all those who form part of the hospital team can say this when a patient dies: “Our wisdom, knowledge and understanding as humans has ended. Beyond this stage only the power of powers, God the Creator of all things and his Son Jesus Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit can change the circumstances. We now implore your power to bring back so and so to life. In the name of Jesus Christ and by the power that raised Christ from the dead we call the spirit of (say the person’s name) to come back to your body now and live”. Then you wait for one minute for heaven to respond. If nothing happens you say the next line. “(Name the person), the grave is not for you, rise up in the name of Jesus”. If nothing happens then say your last words and wait again for a minute. “Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, the one who instructed us to heal the sick and raise the dead, please bring the spirit of so and so back into his/her body. Amen”.
This is not the work of one person but everyone in the room should read these words to the dead, all in one accord. It is the work of all the people in the ward even other patients in the ward can join in, that is if they are not confined to bed, there should not be any observer or spectator but partakers and participants only. Even if you were just passing through, quickly join in and say the words that can help someone to live. To the learned in the hospital it may look stupid, but God will surprise you. Some of you spent years and years training to cure diseases and you will see major problems being cured in just one second by Jesus Christ the doctor of doctors.
Our words will not end there. Let’s say the hospital fails to resuscitate with these words. Why should the mourners not do it as well? It does not matter how many days the person spent in the mortuary, or how frozen they could be, the longer the better because he would have a lot to tell us about what he saw in heaven. Everything that needs to be done on the day of burial should be done first, that is your speeches. When you are ready to take the body for burial then every person attending the funeral should say these words. These words should be typed in the funeral program so that everybody can have a copy and read. You follow the same procedure as given to hospital staff with one minute of silence in between and say,
1) “Heavenly Father, we ask you to show us your glory today. Your word tells us that we will receive our dead back (Hebrews 11:35). In Matthew 28 we are told that the dead came to life and were seen in the streets and market square. We ask you in the powerful name of Jesus Christ to give us back so and so as an honour to your word. By the power that raised Christ from the dead so and so rise up”.
One minute of silence
2) Jesus Christ you are the word that brings life, abundant life in the land of the living. You raised Lazarus from the dead may you raise so and so from the dead in your name we ask. So and so, in the name of Jesus, Come Forth!
One minute of silence
3) So and so come back to the land of the living in the name of Jesus Christ! Spirit of so and so come back to your body now in Jesus’ name! Amen.
One minute of silence
If nothing happens do not let your hearts be troubled. God is God, nothing is unknown to him. Sometimes the person who died would refuse to come back to the earth because heaven is by far better, sometimes God knows that if the person in question comes back s/he may miss heaven the second time because of the choices they will make or because of what they will do. All we need to know is this, all things work together for our good. Any decision taken by heaven (our head office) is for the good of the person in the coffin.
Some of you may say, this should not be done as it gives relatives false hope. We take our relatives to hospital because we were born into that system. It is not because hospitals make sense to us but that is the only system we know. What is the difference between the hope people have when their loved one is admitted into hospital and the hope they would have when a dead body is being prayed for? I cannot separate the two, no hope is greater than the other. People die in the hospital everyday even those who go in with no major ailments they die. Even when that happens we will still take another sick relative to the same hospital that failed the other relative before – why then is hope not deferred but can only happen when we use words to bring back the dead to life? Take it as an additional admission, into an invisible hospital that does not use pain killers, antibiotics and injections but dispenses words only to cure “death” which is presently not attended to by our physical hospitals. The words we speak will “cure death”.
As I said in chapter 13, the church of today is failing to display, to both the believer and the unbeliever the power of the kingdom of God. In response to the disciples’ question on why the man in John 9:2 was born blind, Jesus said, “”Neither this man nor his parents sinned,” said Jesus, “but this happened so that the works of God might be displayed in him” (John 9:2). I believe our God still wants his works to be displayed in his people in our time. He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Let us allow him to be God, let us allow him to do that which sets him apart from man. Where man fail, God comes to display his power. But when man decide NOT to give him his place of power, honour and trust then it is like a nation that has organised a coup d’état on its leader. However, God was not elected by anyone therefore you cannot fire him from his position of supremacy. God is the owner of this earth, do as he instructed you to do. God has the last say in everything that man plan (Proverbs 19:21).
In Acts 9:36-42 there is a story of a hard-working woman in the town of Joppa who died. Dorcas was her name. The community washed her body and made it ready for burial. However, they decided to call for Peter who was in a town called Lydda to come and pray for her and resuscitate her with words. That decision was a great one for Dorcas because she came back to life. The truth of the matter is that the lady in question had died and she could have been buried just like many people we buried to this day. But Dorcas was fortunate enough to be surrounded by believing friends who trusted God that even in the absence of oxygen in the body of their friend, God could still do something. They didn’t have to call Peter though, because they could have prayed for her and God would still have raised her to life. I don’t know today if any member of the clergy can be called to pray for the dead. I am sure he would rather go on an unplanned trip just to avoid being shouldered with such a task. That is why I keep on saying this is no longer the work of the clergy.
The verses about the dead coming back to life are now preached for the sake of discussing what happened in the past but no one wants to implement them anymore because we are so afraid of being judged in the event that nothing happens. That is why I said everyone including the priest must say the words above. If nothing happens then the priest can take over and finish off the burial. We have nothing to lose in doing what the Bible says we must do. It is not our power that heals, it is not our power that raises the dead to life, we are just vessels that speak the words, and the power of God does the rest. “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give” (Matthew 10:8). Let us stop selective preaching and implement everything in Matthew 10:8. It seems we find it easy to pray for the sick but raising the dead, is like climbing the highest mountain of this world. If we do it all together no one will be judged if the dead does not come to life. We need to have faith in the one who raises the dead and that is Jesus Christ.
In the workplace, a Personal Assistant, screens emails and phone calls for his boss. He only forwards those that have complex issues to be solved by the boss. This is the same way Moses worked with God in his tenure. He appointed 70 elders to solve community matters. Any issue they could not solve they brought it to Moses. Moses also brought to God complicated matters that he could not solve like the issue of the daughters of Zelophehad in Numbers 27:5. God solved, not only that case but gave a ruling on inheritance of land. We, on the other hand, take no matter to God. When doctors tell us that a member of our church has an incurable disease, we quickly accept and wait for the day of the funeral. When a virus causes havoc world-wide, we find solutions of our own we do not involve God, in any way. I do not know why we decided that God knows nothing, therefore we cannot ask him for help. I am not sure whether we think he is too ancient and old fashioned that he cannot understand our modern world or what? Let me tell you something you do not know. Heaven is a million light years ahead of earth in technology and everything else you can imagine. We are no match. Therefore, it is time for you to go to God with every issue that the earth is faced with. Let us allow Jesus Christ to show us the glory of the Father and his glory in doing that which is impossible with man. Let us pass on the complicated issues to Jesus Christ because he is above us all.
This is our starting point in creating a new world where we, the non-clergy, will work with and involve heaven in everything we do here on earth. It may not make sense for many in this generation but in 100 years to come, you and I will be watching the earth from heaven enjoying the change we made together. That which may seem abnormal to us this year, the new generation will be running with it because to them it would be “normal” for they will be born into it. If there is anything you want created by this generation, join us on our website and share your idea. We are blessed to have technology that can bring the whole world together where we can discuss and share experiences. Read the book of Acts and see what that generation received. We too, can get it and even more for the glory of God increases from generation to generation.
Have you ever read Matthew 27:51-53? It says, “At that moment the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth quaked and the rocks were split. The tombs broke open, and the bodies of many saints who had fallen asleep were raised. After Jesus’ resurrection, when they had come out of the tombs, they entered the holy city and appeared to many people” (Matthew 27:51-53). Was this a vision or it real happened? Let those who studied theology tell us more about it on our website.
When Jesus prayed for Jairus’ daughter all he said was “Little girl I say to you get up!” (Mark 5:41).
When he raised the widow’s only son this is what he said, “Young man, I say to you, arise.” (Luke 7:14).
On raising Lazarus, he prayed to his Father and then called Lazarus in a loud voice saying, “Lazarus, come out!” (John 11:43).
When Peter raised Dorcas to life, we are told he knelt and prayed then he said “Tabitha, get up!” and she opened her eyes (Acts 9:36-42).
When Paul raised the man, who fell from an upstairs window, all he did was to throw himself on the young man and put his arms around him (Acts 20:7:10).
When Elijah raised the widow’s son from dead he cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, have you brought tragedy even on this widow I am staying with, by causing her son to die?” Then he stretched himself out on the boy three times and cried out to the Lord, “Lord my God, let this boy’s life return to him!” (1 Kings 17:20-21)
When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his couch. He went in, shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the Lord. Then he got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eyes to eyes, hands to hands. As he stretched himself out on him, the boy’s body grew warm. Elisha turned away and walked back and forth in the room and then got on the bed and stretched out on him once more. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes (2 Kings 4:32-35).
I believe that Jesus wants us to pray that the dead person comes back to life so that we can see the greatness of God. Jesus wants us to say, “Lazarus, come forth”, before saying “ashes to ashes and dust to dust”. We lose nothing if we pray for our dead in the hospital as well as before burying them, but we gain life back instead. If we pray and get our dead back, I tell you the joy that comes to the family is unspeakable. If we pray and don’t get our dead back, we just assume our dead relative has desired to be with Jesus which is by far better (Philippians 1:23). Let us do what Jesus said we will do in John 14:12, “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father” (John 14:12).
Whenever God wanted to show how significant and prominent something was, he would say it or do it three times. Three people belonging to the first family and the BC Group were taken to heaven without going through the first death. These were Enoch, Melchizedek and Elijah. God wanted to show us that, in the beginning, we were never meant to die but to go to heaven as we are. Jesus Christ raised three people to life during his earthly ministry. He did this to reinforce what God did before and to demonstrate that both the Father and the Son are above death and that we also, can live above death.
Three people went to heaven alive, three people were raised to life so that, we may know beyond any shadow of doubt, that, it is true and it is possible for us to be raised into second life. If Lazarus could be raised from the dead after 4 days and the decomposing earthly body could be restored fully what more our spirit being, can it not be clothed with new heavenly bodies and live beyond the grave?
The number, 3 is a significant number in the Bible and it means perfection. I wonder why the world have taken that number and marred it by saying, bad luck or trouble or catastrophe comes in threes. A lot of people believe this evil and yet no one channels that number to the goodness of God who taught us about the significance of the number. From today let us all begin to say, God’s goodness comes in threes, from God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit and that his salvation comes in threes for the spirit, soul and body. For there are three that testify: The Spirit, the water, and the blood and these three are in agreement (1 John 5:8). God works in threes. When I discovered this I began to say, “Lord I have seen the first miracle, you work in threes, I am waiting for the second miracle and when it comes I then call for the third miracle” and they come because he works in threes.
I will end with the words of Paul who has a beautiful description of Jesus our Saviour, in Acts 2:22
“”Fellow Israelites, listen to this: Jesus of Nazareth was a man accredited by God to you by miracles, wonders and signs, which God did among you through him, as you yourselves know”” (Acts 2:22).
Jesus says to us all what his Father gave him, he is willing to share with us as equal heirs with him (Romans 8:17; Revelation 2:27). You have to say “Lord Jesus, I want to do what you did, the miracles, the wonders, the signs you performed, I am willing to do them for the benefit of humanity”. Jesus will do what he promised us in John 14:14 – he will do it for you.
A time of great things is coming to this earth. Jesus Christ will demonstrate his power so that all will turn to him and be saved. God will take us to the scene described in 1 Corinthians 2:9 which says, “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no heart has imagined, what God has prepared for those who love Him.” Let us all love him so that we can see that which no generation has seen in the past, not only in heaven but here on earth.

Call to prayer
“Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, Lord. Repeat them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy” (Habakkuk 3:2). Heavenly Father, you have power over death, raise our dead to life through your mercy and love. As a favour to us let everyone in the land of the living see you in action in our first life. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
