 And he raises her back to life and then gives it back to her family. Why? Because God is the one who gives life. Acts chapter 9, verse 36 to 41. A woman by the name of Dorcas had died. Dorcas had been one that administered to people with her skills or gifts. But she had died and people were just sorrowful. Peter goes in and he prays, says, God, please restore her back to life.
