Some people think they have power when they can take a gun and shoot someone dead. But I think that someone has power if they can take someone who’s been dead and bring them back to life. Now that’s power!

You can read about at least ten resurrection stories in the Bible, stories where someone has been physically dead and then been raised back to life.
- Elijah raised the son of the widow (1 Kings 17:17-22)
- Elisha raised the son of the Shunamite woman (2 Kings 4:32-35)
- Elisha’s bones touched a dead man who was raised back to life (2 Kings 13:20-21)
- Jesus raised a widow’s son (Luke 7:11-15)
- Jesus raised Jairus’ daughter (Luke 8:49-56)
- Jesus raised Lazarus after Lazarus was dead for four days (John 11:1-44)
- God raised Jesus from the dead (Matthew 28:5-10)
- God raised many others from the dead at the same time He raised Jesus (Matthew 27:50-53).
- Peter raised Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:38-40)
- Paul raised Eutychus from the dead (Acts 20:9-12).

In Matthew 5, He says: “Love your enemies, bless those who curse you, do good to those who hate you, and pray for those who spitefully use you and persecute you” - I think power to me is to be able to do that. LOL =)
Raising the dead? Those guys in Pfizer darn good at it.
