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.
DISASTER OR
The man screamed, “I’m going to rape you and dump you in a field. If you want to live, do as I say!” His car shot out of garage and down Monterey Boulevard. Jenny had immigrated from China and was terrified.
She had taken a job as a waitress when the attacker found her. When she reached for the car door, the man screamed, “You can’t open it, It’s an automatic lock.” She was desperate.
The woman had been working two jobs and struggling to learn English. She painfully missed her family so far away across the ocean. The difficulties were reflected in her face. A worn, tired countenance prevailed day and night. As she was serving a young woman, the lady looked up and said, “You seem unhappy. My dear, ought to try prayer. It works.”
In China, the Communist Party had taught her that religious people were weak and fearful, mental cripples who believed in fairy tales. She had grown up during the Cultural Revolution and been indoctrinated with atheistic philosophy. Like Karl Marx, she believed religion was an opiate, a drug and nothing more
Abducted by a madman speeding down the highway and about to be attacked or murdered, those political ideas were irrelevant. She needed a powerful Greater Being who could help her in this terrifying situation. Jenny made a decision to give prayer a try. She closed her eyes and silently cried out, “Dear God, if you exist, please help me.” Jenny inwardly desperately prayed. To her surprise, she felt a calm strength enter her body.
Suddenly, the car lurched and the tires squealed. The driver had abruptly swerved off the interstate highway into a small town. The evening street lights had come on. Jenny kept praying, “Please God, give me strength.”
When they stopped at an intersection, she saw a police officer across the street with the car’s red and blue lights flashing. This was her moment of truth. Filled with new spiritual strength, she pulled on the door handle, knowing it wouldn’t open. It did. The attacker tried to grab her arm, but she jumped out of the car and ran toward the officer.
The man shot down the street, but an hour later the police apprehended him.
Jenny knew a divine power had saved her life. Doubts from the past blew away like dust. She discovered the most important things in life -kindness, love, faith- couldn’t be found in a test tube. The more she aligned herself with the power of God, the better her life became.
Our heavenly Father is always there. Don’t wait for a possible disaster to find out. Can praying make a difference right now? Jenny will tell you that it absolutely does. Her life proves the fact.
