"I want you to go raise Lazarus."

by Kenneth Hagin

Smith  Wigglesworth  said  there  were  two  young  fellows in  England  who  saw  God's  power  demonstrated  in  his meetings  at  his wife's mission. "We  wouldn't  be  surprised  that  God  would  lead you  down to  Wales  to raise up our Lazarus,"  they  told him.

They  explained  that  Lazarus  was  a  man  who  had  spent his  days  working  in  a  tin  mine  and  his  nights  preaching.  He had  collapsed  and  become  ill  with  tuberculosis,  and  for four  years  had  been  a  helpless  invalid,  having  to  be  fed with a spoon. Two  years  later  the  Lord  spoke  to  Wigglesworth. 

Often this  great  man  of  faith  would  walk  in  the  countryside.  One day  he  climbed  one  of  the  highest  mountains  in  Wales.  He was  on  top,  enveloped  in  the  presence  of  God,  when  the Lord said to  him,  "I want  you  to go raise Lazarus." Wigglesworth  wrote  down  what  the  Lord  had  said  on  a postcard,  and  mailed  it  to  Lazarus'  home.

When  he  arrived, he  was  greeted  at  the  door  by  a  man  holding  the  card.  "Did you  send  this?"  the  man  asked.  "Do  you  think  we  believe  in this? Here,  take it!"  And he threw it  at Wigglesworth. Then  the  man  called  a  servant  and  said,  "Take  this  man and  show  him  Lazarus."

He  said  to  Wigglesworth,  "The moment  you  see him,  you  will  be ready  to  go home." From  the  natural  standpoint,  this  was  true.  The  man was  helpless.  He  was  nothing  but  a  mass  of  skin  and  bones —and he didn't  have an ounce  of faith.
