Changing of knowledge to the Lord

1 Kings 17:17-24
Some time later the son of the woman who owned the house becae ill and finally stopped breathing. She said to Elijah, "What do you have against me, man of God
 Do you come to remind me of my sin and kill my son?
Elijah stretched himself out on the boy three ties and cried to the Lord,"O Lord my God, let this boy's lie return to him!" The Lord heard Elijah's cry, and  the boy's life returned to him, and he lived.
The woman said to Elijah, "Now I know that you are a man of God and that the word of the Lord from your mouth is the truth."
This is the first account in the Bible of a revival from death. It is a heart-stopping story for the reader, too happily closing with a remarkable expression of faith from one who knew nothing of God before Elijah came to her door.
Elijah may have used the 'kiss of life'; but the revival came in answer to his prayer, not just through a particular method of resuscitation.(復甦)
Why?
This woman did not know the Lord before Elijah came to her house. After this event she knew the Lord and Elijah is man of God, the Lord from his mouth is the truth.
Can I make witness to people and let people know that the word of Lord from my mouth is truth.
The woman confess her sins after this event. It is good to revival life for her and her son.
First, the faith of the woman built on the food , now her faith build on the Lord. It is the changing of knowledge to the Lord.
How?
Faith not only build on the food but on the Lord!  God is the master of life and all.
