Rev. Robert L. Wise, Ph.D. 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.
THE DISASTER TURNED INTO A …
Recently I was talking with my friend Penny Randell. As author, Penny dearly loves the continent of Africa and has often traveled there, venturing into the darkest jungle and places where most Americans wouldn’t go. On one occasion, Penny ventured into the jungle habitat of gorillas. One of the females walked over to her and touched her hand. That stuck me as almost qualifying for a miracle story. Through the years, Penny developed an interest in angels and came to talk about what my encounters with inspired persons had taught me.
I shared with her a statement from Normandi Ellis’s book The Ancient Tradition of Angels (Bear and Company publishers). This highly informative work details the history of what has been written about angels through the centuries. At one point he writes, “Angels can take whatever form they wish. When the occasion warrants, they may appear as humans.” The quote sparked Penny’s memory and she told me about one of her many experiences in Africa.
While driving through the back country on dirt roads in Kenya, Penny hit a deep hole. The severe jolt stopped the car. When Penny got out, she discovered the motor had broken loose and was now sitting in that depression. The motor had dropped out of the car!
I am not a mechanic, but I can envision how unusual a detachment of the engine from the transmission must be! Fixing it on a remote road sounded impossible. Certainly would put the car out of business!
As Penny sat there desperate on this remote jungle road, she knew travelers seldom came down this stretch. She felt doomed, but being a spiritual person, she began to pray. Suddenly in the rearview mirror, Penny saw a truck load of natives roaring down the road behind her. Abductions and murders were known to happen in this part of Kenya. Her consternation turned into fear.
The truck stopped and six black men got out. The leader knocked on her car window. “Need help?” She nodded. He looked under the car and motioned for the other men to join him. They immediately went to work creating a lift with a rope and a crane. The motor lifted up out of the hole and back into the vehicle. The six men started doing something under the hood. Penny couldn’t grasp how anyone could reattach the engine back into the car and make it run out there on that remote road. However, in an astonishingly short amount of time these men had the motor reattached and the car running.
Penny explained she would have to get money to pay them in the next town. They declined and said they would follow her to make sure everything was running okay. The car worked fine and Penny started down the road. When she looked back to thank them, the six men and their truck weren’t there. They had simply vanished.
What happened? Penny Randall is convinced they were angels sent in her hour of desperate need. She now knows angels can take any shape they wish.
The Apostle told us to be kind to strangers for “some have unwittingly entertained angels.” (Hebrews 13: 2) Here’s a new dimension to your quest to understand the miraculous. Angels may be standing around you right now.
Remember. Miracles never cease.
