While doubt often overshadows belief, the power of God’s miracles shines through reminding us that nothing is impossible with Him. Colton Dixon, a Christian music artist, shared a powerful testimony of how God’s divine intervention brought his daughter back to life—a moment that mirrored the ultimate miracle of Jesus’ Resurrection.
Dixon recounts the horrifying moment when his daughter, Ava Dior, was born in a heart-wrenching state of being.

“When she came out, she wasn’t breathing, didn’t have a pulse, and it was terrifying,” Dixon says.
In that moment, Dixon and his wife turned to God. “We started to pray and believe that God is who He says He is and He’s still a God of miracles.” The couple’s faith became their anchor. “We just started speaking over little Dior… from the top of her head to the soles of her feet, she’s healed. Anything out of order, anything out of place, be put into place in Jesus’ name right now.”
And then, God moved.
“We saw little Ava Dior start to breathe, get a pulse and the relief and the growth in our faith was tremendous.” Colton continued, “Whether it was God reaching down and touching her or working through those doctors and nurses, we don’t know, but we know we witnessed a miracle.”
Dixon emphasized how God has given Christians the keys to the kingdom, to bind and loose on earth as it is in heaven.
“The Bible says, those who say to this mountain, ‘Be removed,’ and it shall be cast into the sea. That tells me that we have authority to speak directly to something.” He explained how his faith in that moment transcended fear, demonstrating the power of speaking life into impossible situations.
The Resurrection power that brought Ava back to life is the same power that raised Jesus from the dead. Scripture boldly proclaims in Romans 8:11, “And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.” This is not just a past-tense promise—it’s a present reality for those who believe.
Miracles are not relics of biblical history; they are active, tangible manifestations of God’s power and love today.
Throughout the Gospels, Jesus consistently demonstrated God’s heart to heal, restore and resurrect. From Jairus’ daughter to Lazarus, He brought life where there was none. And He didn’t stop there—He commissioned His followers to walk in that same authority.
In Matthew 10:8, Jesus commands, “Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy drive out demons. Freely you have received; freely give.” These aren’t symbolic gestures—they are calls to bold faith, lived out through prayer, belief and obedience.
As Colton and his wife exemplified, when we speak life in Jesus’ name, heaven responds.
