“Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, so that you may believe. Nevertheless let us go to him,” (John 11:14-15).
God does an abundance of miracles each and every day. In a recent video, Isaiah Saldivar shares how he witnessed God do the incredible: bring a man back to life.

“I saw a guy that I was laying hands on this last week – die – and then come back to life,” Saldivar says.
Saldivar reveals that while he was playing pickle ball, a man at the court said he wasn’t feeling well. He then began having pain to the point where he felt like he was going to pass out. Soon, the man began shaking and collapsed.
“We thought he was going to pass out and be okay, not realizing he was actually having a cardiac arrest and was actually about to die,” Saldivar recounts.
The man turned white, his breathing ceased and he was clamping down on his tongue, causing it to bleed. People had to do chest compressions on the man, trying to do what they could to save him.
“I begin to pray, and as I begin to pray, ‘I command you to come back to life, in Jesus’ name. I bind the spirit of death,’ another girl is praying as well. She’s crying out ‘Jesus, help, Jesus, Jesus help,'” Saldivar says.

This turned into the group doing chest compressions and praying for the life of the man. A nurse at the court came to assist. However, it was clear that the man was dead.
“We’re just praying, praying praying for him to come back to life,” Saldivar remembers. “The guy was 100% dead on the ground at the pickleball courts.”
Saldivar continued to pray, binding the spirit of death and commanding him to come back to life in the name of Jesus.
“I will tell you guys this right now: God raised this man from the dead. That is the bottom line. People can say whatever story they want; I was holding his legs while he died. I was there. God raised this man from the dead,” says Saldivar.
Saldivar says the group continued to do the only thing they knew to do: pray and do chest compressions. Suddenly, the man took a breath, going from having no pulse and white, to breathing. The man soon started speaking about how his chest hurt, but he was indeed alive. He was taken to the hospital and had surgery, doctors confirming that he had suffered a cardiac arrest. The odds of this man’s survival were miniscule, but God decided to do a miracle.
“For 13 years, I’ve been doing ministry, I’ve prayed for the sick, I’ve seen blind eyes open, I’ve seen deaf ears open. I had never seen the dead raised,” Saldivar says. “We serve a miracle working God.”
This testimony goes to show that there is nothing too big or too impossible for our God to do.
