hey gumbo it's time for us to go to holy oh yes it's story time
and where's freckles i'm here i'm here lets go
Hi holy we are back to hear anew story from the bible
hello kids today I'm going to tell you a story about a
woman named Dorcus Jesus's followers were often gifted with special abilities
through the power of the Holy Spirit this happened quite a few times to Peter
once Peter was called to a town named Joppa
where a very kind woman named Dorcus lived she was always helping others and
showing kindness to everyone around her she was extremely helpful towards the
poor for a helpful and kind nature everyone in Jaffa loved her one day
Dorcas fell very ill her friends tried to do everything to make her feel better
and comfortable but nothing worked and Dorcus died her friends were heartbroken
they put special oils and perfumes on her body before her burial
they put a body in a room upstairs for her funeral
a few of Dorcuses friends brought news that Peter Jesus's disciple was in the
neighboring town so he sent two men to talk to Peter and beg him to come to
Jappa as quickly as possible so Peter went to Joppa with the two men and
Dorcas his friends took him to the room where a body was kept Peter saw that the
room was filled with her friends widows and poor people who were all crying for
her they showed Peter the coats and the
other pieces of clothing that dorcas had sewed for them Peter asked all the
people to leave the room then he knelt down beside Dorcus body and prayed
after that he turned to her and said get up immediately
Dorcas opened her eyes when she saw Peter
she sat up Peter then called back her friends back into the room and showed
them that Dorcus was alive everyone was amazed the news of Dorcas being alive
spread quickly through the town and soon many people began to believe in Jesus
once again. That was such an exciting story thank you for the wonderful story Holy.
