MIRACLES NEVER CEASE
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.
DELORES WAS ABOUT TO DIE WHEN
How about starting the New Year with an encouraging and amazing story. A number of years ago, Delores Winder and her husband Bill came to the church I pastored to share their story and pray with people. And did Delores ever have a story to tell!
For 19 ½ years Delores had suffered with an incurable illness. Pseudoarthrosis prevented her bones from absorbing the necessary ingredients to keep them from becoming dry and brittle. Delore’s bones were crumbling. She had to wear a body cast to support her deteriorating spine.
This condition left Delores in constant pain. Even the performance of the simplest household tasks required medication. Living on tranquillizers, she would eventually lose all sensation in her body. As the problem progressed, Delores’s kidneys began to fail. Her cardiopulmonary system was starting to collapse. The family gathered to plan her funeral.
However, Bill recognized a possible opportunity and took Delores to a Methodist Conference on the Holy Spirit held in Dallas, Texas. A lady named Kathryn Kuhlman was speaking and ministering. Ms. Kuhlman had an unusual capacity to convey the working of the Holy Spirit. That’s when “it” happened.
Kathryn Kuhlman began to pray and called Delores to the stage. She directed Delores to walk to the back of the stage. (Delores knew she couldn’t) Suddenly the sensation of feeling began to return. Delores shouted, “I can feel! I can feel!” She was told to bend over which she couldn’t do— but she did. The work of the Holy Spirit continued to surge through her body. Delores knew the hand of God was upon her. Change was occurring.
Later Delores said, “I could never have imagined myself, a dying cripple who knew nothing of healing, leaving home at six o’clock in the evening and returning home completely healed by two o’clock the next morning. But let me tell you that’s how God works.”
Her crumbling bones were restored and her body healed. The Pseudoarthrosis condition vanished.
During her time in our congregation, I watched Delores teach and minister the Holy Spirit. People were moved and healed just as she had been. The message? The point? Our heavenly Father has never stopped raising up deteriorating people and broken lives. The reordering and healing of need has never stopped. God can work even when we don’t know how to ask. Should you have a need, don’t be hesitant to reach out. God’s arm is not shortened.
Remember miracles never cease.
