It's impossible to "love the Lord God with all my heart, soul, mind, and strength" ? I think that is the beginning of a sinless day.
However, since the Bible says "When we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us" truly defines is as "Sinners" but by Grace and by the Blood of Jesus we are saved from the condemnation. We are tempted just as Jesus was tempted, but the temptation is not sin. I'm not even suggesting that we can be sinless, but we are able to withstand temptations because we are "more than conquerors in Christ."

If we say that we have not sinned, we make Him a liar, and His work is not in us...

The only person who was 'sinless' was Christ.

I agree with Frank.

Yes, in the OT, Elijah prayed three times that God would restore the boy's life.

God miraculously restored the boy's life.

This miracle proved to the woman that Elijah was indeed a MAN OF GOD AND THAT THE WORD OF THE LORD THAT ELIJAH CLAIMED TO SPEAK WAS INDEED THE TRUTH.

This incident showed the widow and others that the power of the Lord as the true God contrasted greatly with the impotency of Baal.

In 2 Kings, we see again that GOD restored the lad's life.

The sneezing seven times indicating a work of God...

Gehazi took her son, and left the room full of joy and gratitude for what GOD HAD DONE FOR HER.

In the NT, Peter prayed for Dorcas,and commanded her to arise.

Peter did not touch her until after God restored her to life...

This miracle, like previous ones, led many to believe in the Lord.

Even when Paul embraced Eutychus, it still was the working of God...

Through all of the healings, it was through the power of God, to lead many to believe in the Lord.

Even when Jesus healed, he told the person NOT TO TELL...

Being we are in the Church Age, there is no need for healings by man....

As we previously seen, the healings were by God,and the healing pointed to God...The last person was by the power of God to the apostles.. We don't have apostles today...

Scripture says we're to lived by FAITH.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things NOT SEEN...

It's by faith that we brings our petitions to the Lord for someone to be heal--not man...

Now it is true that the coming of the lawlessone is according to the working of Satan with all power signs,and lying wonders..

I believe soo many people today are being 'groomed' for the working of the lawlessone by false teachers...

AND I SAW ONE OF HIS HEADS AS IF IT HAD BEEN MORTALLY WOUNDED, AND HIS DEADLY WOUND WAS HEALED. AND ALL THE WORLD MARVELED AND FOLLOWED THE BEAST.'

SO THEY WORSHIPED THE DRAGON WHO GAVE AUTHORITY TO THE BEAST; AND THEY WORSHIPED THE BEAST, SAYING, WHO IS LIKE THE BEAST? WHO IS ABLE TO MAKE WAR WITH HIM?

While the resurrection of a dead person seems to be beyond Satan's power, the healing of a wound would be possible for Satan, and this may be the explanation.

The important point is that the final world ruler comes into power obviously supported by a supernatural and miraculous deliverance by Satan himself.
