RAISED from the DEAD At Midnight
Part 3
This is The MIDNIGHT Hour!
Jesus used a very appropriate metaphor
to alert us to the lateness of this time in God's plan for man – MIDNIGHT!
He also declared that a prophetic cry would be sounded.
Notice it:
At midnight a cry was
heard, 'Behold, the Bridegroom is coming; go out to meet Him!' (Matt 25:6,
NKJV.)
That cry is going out now! It is a
prophetic call to awake!
The Church sleeps, unaware of spiritual
realities. Various areas of deception hold her in spiritual slumber.[1]
Midnight is a symbol of the unexpected.[2]
God does unexpected things to try to alert (wake up) the Church to spiritual
truth.
But how few take notice!
The incident which follows is just one
instance of many that affirms the closeness of the end of this age and of
Jesus' coming. There is so little time left before Jesus comes in power and
glory to rule this earth and restore all things to the perfection that God
intended at the beginning.
Many others will be raised up from
death to confirm the authenticity of the truths that Midnight Ministries
presents, and that this call is part of the work of the end-time 'Elijah'
(Mal 4:5,6).

Young Woman Resurrected From Death
David Isaac Ohuoba wrote to me recently
to let me know that another person has been raised from the dead. A young
pregnant lady died and a friend brought her body to him. She knew that David
had prayed and brought other people to life previously, so she had the faith
that all was not lost in this instance.
David prayed in tongues for two hours
over her and God raised her up. His fuller account is below.
This is now the third such person
brought back from death by David, and there are significant reasons why God
is doing this. I want to explain, so that you can be in the position to do
similar miraculous feats by the power of God.
If you have read the little leaflet
Raised From The Dead At Midnight, Part 1 you
will know some of David's emphasis. His account begins with these words:
"I am very happy to report that the
good God has raised His mighty hand on the evangelical work here in Nigeria
through your powerful literature."
There are very few people who would
make such a statement, but David knows from experience that he's not
overstating it. Others have received revelations from God about the
anointing that is on MM literature.[3]
He listens to the Spirit of God and has found that as he uses MM literature
to teach others, God does remarkable things.
God is proving a point. Isaiah
prophesied:
Do not remember the former things,
nor consider the things of old. Behold, I will do a new thing. Now it shall
spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the
wilderness and rivers in the desert (Is 43:18,19).
If you do not know what the road
represents and the desert, please read Who Is The End-Time Elijah?
which fully explains this symbolism. We are in the days of 'Elijah' NOW, and
'Elijah' is doing His Work. God is moving by His Spirit and great things are
coming forth.
Habakkuk prophesied:
Look among the nations and watch
[watching has a spiritual meaning, be alert to what God is doing]. Be
utterly astounded! For I will work a work in your days which you would not
believe, though it were told you (Hab 1:5).
And people don't believe it, true to
the prophecy!
People don't believe that MM literature
could be any different to the publications of any other ministry. "Why,
there are lots of ministries, with loads of books and booklets, and they all
contain good things." True – up to a point. And I have no doubt that God has
used many of them to a certain extent; some very much so!
But, why has God said in various
dreams, visions, angelic visitations, and prophetic words – given to several
independent witnesses all abroad – that MM literature contains His blessing,
inspiration, and more? That it is 'anointed' by God?
He has made it part of the
centrepiece of the last revival in this age, which is beginning now.
I cannot tell you all the
reasons why God is working this way. All I can do is repeat His words. To
one man, He said about me in a dream: "This is the man I have chosen to
restore all things to the Church."
Elijah did it in his day. Why should
you be amazed that He would do it again in our day? He prophesied of it
through Malachi (Mal 4:5). Yet people don't believe it.
Unbelief is nothing new.
What is new is the manner of God's
working and the avenue which He has chosen.
People think the last revival in this
age is going to erupt from within the established Church. No, the churches
are on their way out. God cannot use a compromised basis for His
restoration. He has to start completely anew. If you don't know what I mean
by compromised, read God's Church – Whose Authority?
So, if God has anointed MM literature,
and guided its compilation, so that it contains all necessary restored truth
for the Church prior to Jesus' coming, then He will demonstrate the veracity
of such an 'outrageous' claim. And that is the reason why He is raising the
dead — to prove to you and to anyone else with an objective open mind, that
the literature does indeed contain that restored truth. When it is used to
teach others, so that their lives are restored spiritually, new life
accompanies it.
What He is doing in the physical
parallels what God is doing in the spiritual. In the mouth of two or three
witnesses every matter is established (2 Cor 13:1). Three witnesses have now
been resurrected!
Dead For Two Hours
This is the account of what occurred,
which David Isaac sent me:
I am very happy to report that the good
God has raised His mighty hand on the evangelical work here in Nigeria
through your powerful literature.
As I told you, we were having 21 days
fasting[4] and praying, then on
the 28th February 2005, around midnight, as I was teaching people from MM's
booklet Why The Devil and Demons? we read:
I saw Satan fall like lightning
from heaven. I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions
[symbols for devils or demons], and to overcome all the power of the enemy;
nothing will harm you. However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to
you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven (Luke 10:18-20).
We studied about "an ever-present
force", "whether you like to believe it or not, the devil is an ever present
reality, a powerful force to be reckoned with!" We understand that, "apart
from Jesus Christ, the devil's power is unchallengeable. He is the prince of
the power of the air, the ruler of the invisible world which governs the
earth (Eph 2:2). You cannot see air. Nor can you see Satan, but he is there!
He is the god this world unknowingly worships, and he has blinded the minds
of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the glory of Christ or understand
the sense in spiritual realities (2 Cor 4:4)" (pp 4,5).
"For as long as man has been an
occupant of earth, Satan has been here too. (Satan was around long before
mankind was formed.) For that reason the earth has seen no rest in all its
history from troubles and suffering" (ibid.) in people's lives, from the
first man and woman whom God created until today.
Suddenly, a car drove in fast, with its
headlights full on, bringing four men and a dead woman. They carried the
dead woman into our prayer house and laid her on the floor.
As I was about to say "Carry her out to
the mortuary," a lady named Joy Sunny, who had heard about the supernatural
ministry through Ishmael N Nwankudu [whom David Isaac raised from the dead
earlier] said to me:
"Please, prophet, we know that she is
dead. I am the person that told them not to go to the mortuary. 'Let us
first go to the man of God to confirm.' Please, I have faith that your God
is the living God."
As I was standing looking at her, I
heard a voice that said to me, "Don't shrink back. My righteous one will
live by faith. And if he shrinks back, I will not be pleased with him. But
we are not of those who shrink back and are destroyed, but of those who
believe and are saved." [The Spirit of God quoting to him from Hebrews
10:38,39.]
God revealed to me that the evil spirit
of death was holding her. Then I started to pray in tongues.
As I prayed for two hours, I went off
in spirit and saw a cat holding her. I cried out loudly, and the cat made a
loud noise and then suddenly released her. The life of this woman was
restored as the cat was cast away [the cat represents a demonic form that
David saw in the spirit realm by the power of the Spirit of God].
There was a big disturbance in her body
which caused the baby to turn inside her at about 3 am. The baby's condition
had been bad, so I prayed for God to restore the baby to its normal position
which He did immediately. She was with me in prayers [and teaching the
truths of God] with her husband and sister Joy, for seven days before she
went back home.
According to her, she told me that she
had had a problem with an occultic woman in the police station who had put a
curse upon her. The woman told her that she would die within 21 days.
On the night of the 28th February as
she went to bathe in her bathroom, she said: "I saw an evil naked [power or
being or man?], as black as coal with a rod, beating on my neck. I fell
unconscious and didn't know what had happened until I saw myself in the
house of David Isaac Ohuoba, man of God, whom God used to restore my life.
As he was praying in tongues, the demons that were holding me ran away,
leaving me alone. I had shouted out to my husband that they are beating me
to death. But I am delivered from their grip. Praise God."
People from Bible College Road, who
heard the good news, came to witness this miracle of God and I gave them our
literature Why Trials? Why Suffering? and others.
Her parents came from a long way away
too, waiting for me until I had come back from a trip. They all gave thanks
to God. I told them that it is due to God's great love. It is His greatest
characteristic.
The Bible says God is love (1 Jn 4:8).
All of His other attributes harmonize perfectly with this attribute. God's
gracious love for humanity is strongly expressed in Old and New Testaments.
The clearest declaration and strongest
proof of His love is His redemption of humanity by giving His only Son, who
willingly died for our sins and gave us a command to live a perfect life
(Matt 5:48) and receive the gifts of His power.
I am grateful to God who introduced me
to MM. The ministry has helped to uplift Midnight Supernatural Prayer
Ministry which was buried because of lack of spiritual and physical support.
But today, people are receiving miracles, healing and deliverance through
the supernatural ministry that God has raised up.
 Here is the picture of the woman.
Her name is Chidinma Nwaogu. Her husband's name is Nwaogu Emos. They are
from Umuehi in Isi ala Ngwa South LGA.

Ohuoba
Footnote: Every matter is
confirmed by the testimony of two or three faithful witnesses (2 Cor 13:1).
The following people can testify to the fact that this miracle occurred: Mrs
Joy Uzor, who asked David Isaac to pray for Chidinma's life to be restored;
Oyibo Ajuzie and his wife Okezie Jonathan; and others.
Joy's husband, Sunday Israel Uzor Njoku,
wrote that Chidinma was confirmed dead on 28th Feb 2005; (she is from
Umuehim Nvosi in Isi ala Ngwa South LGA of Abia State, who lives at Umuokea
Village, Ogbor Hill, Aba), and that she was brought back from death through
the prayers of David Isaac Ohuoba of Ohuru, a man of the living God, as the
above account relates. I, Sunday Israel Uzor Njoku and my wife Joy Uzor,
Oyibo Ajuzie and his wife Okezie Jonathan and others were present when
these things happened.
The Message Of Elijah Today
What God does, He does for very
significant reasons. These life-restoring miracles parallel what God did for
Elijah and those who supported him back then (1 Kings 17-19; 2 Kings 1-2).
They also parallel what God is doing in the spiritual that physical eyes
cannot see.
God is restoring life-giving truth to
His people, so they can have the fulness of the Faith Once Delivered that
was soon lost after the first century (Jude 3; 2 Peter 2).[5]
He has given this ministry that task to restore it today, just as Elijah had
a responsibility toward Israel.
But people don't want it. So-called
Spirit-led folk don't want it, either. The message of restoration that we
bring is resisted, opposed, and rejected at EVERY turn!
Elijah was raised up to challenge the
evils which filled society back then. There was one central core issue which
He championed. It was restoration of the knowledge of true worship – how to
worship God, how to obey Him – so that people could turn back to the one
true God in complete obedience. All the other evils stemmed from that lack
of truth. So, he didn't have to campaign against abortion (if there had been
such) or prostitution, or sexual deviancy or perversion, or drugs, or any
other issue. Elijah took his axe to the trunk of the tree and called for the
death of all religion other than that which he promoted, which centred on
the truth of the knowledge of the true God.
His was a really radical outcry! He
called for death to all false religion. That's something that is not
acceptable in our 'tolerant' humanistic society today. And he challenged
others to match 'his' miracles that demonstrated the authority he had from
God to call for such reformation.
You know the story. He gathered all the
false prophets to Mount Carmel for a public showdown. He would call fire
down from heaven in support of his claim to be the prophet of God with the
latest announcement from Him. And the fire fell.
Elijah was vindicated. But the
restoration of truth that he hoped would follow it, did not. People drifted
back into old sinful ways. The same is true today, people don't want this
restoration. It is not welcome.
The 'fire' of God we call down from
heaven today raises the dead and performs other remarkable miracles of
deliverance and healing. It brings revelation too, in dreams, visions and
prophesying. That is His affidavit of truth.
"But others have done such things, too,
even raising the dead. Yet they did not hold to the truth you bring," you
may say. That is true. But there is one difference. The people raised from
the dead in the past have been those who had recently died. God is now
going to restore those who have been dead for a long time – for years!
'Elijah' will perform his task! But as
I said, the truths we bring are rejected at EVERY turn. Like Elijah's
message, 'ours' is here to restore the Way of God to the people.
God's question to you is: "Do you want
it?" Get ready to stand before Jesus, sincere and blameless.
