MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!
Robert Wise explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.
ANGELS COME IN MANY COLORS
Last week I suggested that you take Mark’s Gospel and make two columns on a sheet of paper putting what happened on one side when the event wasn’t miraculous and on the other, write when a miracle followed. My prediction was that you would discover that 60 to 70 percent of the ministry of Jesus focused on miracles. I wanted all readers to discover miracles were normative in the ministry of Jesus. BECAUSE they still are today in spite of most people not recognizing the fact.
Here’s an example.
In the Christmas season, we sing and talk about the intervention of God with the angels. Maybe one is as close as your Christmas tree.
Recently, I was talking with Lisa King-Kirkland. Lisa is a nurse in the Integris Hospital system who can slip a needle in your arm so gently you don’t even notice it. Lisa was telling me about her discovery that angels come in all different colors.
As a child, Lisa and her sisters Melanie and Angela were driving through Houston, Texas on an inter-state highway when their mother Doris Murthy missed thire turn off. Not having any idea what to do next, Doris continued down the highway. Suddenly, she noticed steam coming up under the car’s hood. Lost in a huge metropolitan city, Doris had no idea what to do but pull off at the next exit and pray for help.
At that moment, she noticed a car following her.
When she pulled over to stop, the other car did the same. Doris was frightened. A nice looking black man got out and walked up.
“Do you need some help, ma’am,” the man asked.
“Do I ever,” Doris said. “Steam is pouring out of my car. I’m lost, and I have three little girls in the back seat. I don’t even know how to lift the hood.”
“Let me see what I can do,”
The man walked around to the front of the car. The hood immediately raised and he began doing something underneath. After a couple of minutes, he shut the hood. “Your radiator was low. There wasn’t enough water in the pump, but I’ve got it fixed now.” He shut the hood. “Let me tell you how to get back to where you want to go. You need to get back on the inter-state going back to where you missed it.” He offered a few other important tips to get her to her destination.”
Doris sat there amazed at how quicky her problem had been solved. She realized she needed to thank him and got out of her car. There was no car behind her. There was no man who had helped. There was nothing but an empty space.
Doris couldn’t believe her eyes.
She got back in the car and said to Lisa and her sisters, “The Lord has just provided us with a real angel!”
Now years later, Lisa’s life is still touched by that experience and she certainly believes in angels. Lisa wants you to know angels come in many different colors… and to keep looking for them.
Remember to …expect the unexpected!
