Kathie Walter's book called, "Celtic Flames"
The true history of Ireland and St. Patrick.
Accounts of the supernatural ministries of Patrick, Brigid, Cuthbert,
Brendan, Kieran etc. Read how these Celtic Christians in the 4th-5th-6th
centuries demonstrated the power of God and won the hearts of the people for
the Lord. For example, Patrick converted Dublin by raising the king's two
children from the dead. Read this and many other wonderful accounts on
Kathie Walter's book, "Celtic Flames."

St. Patrick - About Shamrocks? Or About a Man Who Raised the Dead and Won
Dublin to the Lord?
********************************************************
Green cards!!
I have so far received about a dozen or so weird little "St Patrick's E-mail
greeting cards. Shamrocks, funny people in little green hats, green cats,
green dogs and even a green cow!
What a shame that Patrick's great signs and wonders ministry has been so
downgraded.
----------------------------------
Powerful demonstrations
-----------------------------------
The early Celtic Fathers (4th, 5th, 6th century) had a powerful revelation
of the power of God to demonstrate the Gospel. They didn't believe, like the
Apostle Paul said, it was "In word only, but in demonstration of the Spirit
and of power" (1 Cor 2:4).
Did you know that the Celtic Fathers who brought the Gospel to Europe (and
so many came from the monasteries in Ireland), had tremendous revelations
which we (church) seem to have lost sight of.
----------------------------------
An Invitation to Heaven?
-----------------------------------
For Example - they believed that when it was time for your passing, you
received an invitation from God.
When that day and place of invitation was given, they went with their close
friends, prayed for one another and gave up their spirit to God. You can
read about Columba of Iona's invitation and consequent home-going ( a
tremendous testimony) in Columba-the Celtic Dove -Kathie Walters [http://theelijahlist.safeshopper.com/318/cat318.htm?767
] read about Patrick, Brendan, Cuthbert, Brigit, Comgall (founder of Bangor
Monetary) etc.

Revival in the 4th century
A QUICK WAY TO EVANGELIZE A CITY or-
How St. Patrick won Dublin to the Lord.
(Patrick A.D.389-461)
----------------------------------------------------------------
As Patrick came near to
Dublin, at that time a very small village, he prophesied, “That village
which is now very small shall hereafter become very eminent. It shall be
enlarged in riches and dignity. Neither shall it cease to grow until it has
become the principal seat of all the kingdom.”
When the people of Dublin, having heard of the great signs and miracles that
were done through Patrick, and when they saw that he was coming near to
that village, they went out to meet him.
----------------------------------------------
The Raising of Two Dead Children
----------------------------------------------
At this time, Alphinus was the king over Dublin.
He and all the citizens were in great sorrow, for the death of the king's
two children. The kings only son, called Eochadh had died of a sickness, in
his bedroom. The king's daughter, and a sister to the young prince, had just
been drowned, in the adjoining river, now known as the Liffey.
She had ventured into the deep part, for the purpose of bathing. Her name
was Dublinia, and from her Dublin is thought by some to have derived its
name.
From Celtic Flames: "The young lady's body was drawn out of the waters
after some considerable search, and laid by her brother's corpse, in order
that their funeral rites might be solemnized together."
According to the superstition of the pagans, the tombs were prepared. In the
meantime, news was spread over all the city, that “Patrick, the potent
reviver of many dead persons”, (What a reputation !!) had been seen near
the town. ". . . For He, who burst asunder the gates of death and of hell,
smoothed the path for his servant."
----------------------------------------
Dublin Initially Rejects God
----------------------------------------
The king and the people, who before had said to the Lord, "Depart from us,
we will not acknowledge any of thy ways, were so cast down, and saddened
with grief, that all of their rebellion and all their barbarous rudeness,
and all the pride of their idolatry, were utterly subdued."
-------------------------
Two Live Children
-------------------------
"The king, hearing of St. Patrick's arrival, caused him to come in, where
his two children lay dead. He then promised, with all those present, if God
restored his children to life, that he and all the citizens would become
Christians. Seeing such a gain of souls, in the sight of the king, his
nobles, and all the common people, Patrick raised from death to life those
princely children, whose bodily resurrection co-operated much towards the
spiritual resurrection of their father, with the rest of his people. The
king and all his subjects, being astonished at this great miracle, turned
away from the worship of idols, and they were baptized in the spring."
"From that day the King and all the people worshiped God and gave liberally
to Patrick, so that he was able to give to the poor in that place and other
places and have enough to build churches."
