His wife forbade him to resurrect her when she died, as he often raised people from the dead.

PAUL HAD IT and radically impacted the then known world with the Gospel.

Whenever it has happened, God's presence enfolds people like a soft blanket and restores, delivers and heals them! It is the ability to understand what is necessary to move into God's presence.

To satisfy the conditions for divine intervention. I have seen the Lord operate in a supernatural way on various occasions.

Under what cir tances will God reveal His presence in such a way? Can it only happen when certain people facilitate the occasion or process? Does one need to reach a certain milestone for God to operate in this way?

Does one have to be virtually sinless before being able to enter God's presence?
When you have chosen Jesus and accepted Him as your Savior and Redeemer, something wonderful happens to you.

Your entire existance and identity change in one single moment. You are immediately declared sinless.

Paul writes about it in 2 Corinthians 5:14, 17-19,21:

For Christ's love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died...

Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a NEW CREATION; the old has gone, the new has come!
All this is from God, who reconciled us to Himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation...;...that God was reconciling the world to Himself in Christ, not counting men's sins against them. And He has committed to us the message of reconciliation...

God made m who had no sin to be sin for us,
so that in Him we might become the righteouss of God.

When you take hold of Christ and ask Him to take over your life, God no longer counts your trespasses against you. Because you have chosen Jesus, you are regarded as someone who is one with Christ.

He has been aquitted by God, therefore you are also aquitted by God. God does not condemn Him, therefore God does not condemn you!

Somewhere in our world of thought we grow far away from God, because deep in our being we know that we are not without sin. You know that you are not without sin. You know when you lose your temper, when you have said something nasty about someone, when you have told a lie!

And immediately you feel imperfect and sinful again. And without doing it consciously, you withdraw from God since you cannot remain standing in His light! In all of Paul's letters he writes about this. All of his converts, all the congregations that came into being through his ministry, battled with this: their new identity in Christ.

You and i do not fall into and out of our new identity in Christ. In Him we are NEW in God's eyes! He sees us as sinless. Maybe Paul's words to the Galatians will make it easier for you. In Galatians 3:27 we read:
