The text reads go to the lost sheep of Isreal and ..... Unless your friend is a lost sheep of Isreal than I guess that you will not be able to raise him from the dead. If I was with Jesus in heaven than I would not be willing to come back to earth. Would you? Think about letting your friend and his memory go. I mean you no harm. The bible also says that to be absent from the body is to be present with Jesus Christ. As a christian, I could not for the life of me leave the presence of my Lord to come back to earth. Time heals all wounds. I know you miss your friend. I imanage Jesus loves him too much to let him go and leave his reward to this desolate place. I pray that your friend will be free from paralysis. Rest easy. I pray that God will be gracious to you and grant you the strength to obey his will in all areas of your life. Nothing is impossible to God. We must still put his will first, no matter what he wants for us.
