WHEN THE AVALANCHE FALLS

MIRACLE BLOG 426

March 29, 2026

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.

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

WHEN THE AVALANCHE FALLS

The Bible says that we have angels to guard us, even to keep us from striking our feet against a stone. In other words, angels hover around us providing protection. Is this true? Ask Chantal Lakey.

Chantal and her boyfriend Dale were climbing on the sheer cliffs hundreds of feet above the ocean, winding their way through the loose shale that felt like black ice. A thin drizzle settled around them. As they carefully chose their way, they could hear waves beating on the beach fall down below. Without realizing where they were going, they stepped into a steep cliff with slippery footing.

Dale had started to climb back from the cliff when his footing slipped. Without a sound, he crashed into the rocks fall below. Dale died instantly.

Chantal was terrified and clung desperately to anything she could get her hands on. She cried out as loud as she could. “Oh, God! Help me! Please don‘t let me die!” Panic stricken, she clung to a boulder… that could also slip.

She suddenly felt as if the gateway between heaven and earth opened. Some undefined “something” was happening. Chantal saw angels fluttering about her, forming a wall of protection. They were buoying her up, holding her, closing in on her to keep her from falling. Chantal knew she was not alone.

Still, she had to scale up a 400-foot cliff. Looking up, Chantal realized that not even a skilled climber could scale the sheer drop. She could only cling to the huge rock. The next thing the woman remembers is looking up and seeing the high cliff far above her. Chantal was only seventy-five feet from the beach. Somehow, she had climbed down more than three hundred feet of slippery, wet shale. Only angels could have cushioned her safe descent.

Suddenly, Chantal begam to slide again toward the edge of the remainder of the cliff. Once more she cried out for help. She was going to drop into the boulders below.

Chantal felt a heavenly hand behind her. Her fall suddenly stopped. Slowly, she finished winding her way down, knowing that the angels were guiding her safely to the beach. As she wound her way back to the highway seeking help, Chandal could feel the presence of angels leading her forward. Their presence stayed with her through the remainer of the day and into the night.

When the sheriff’s crew arrived, they looked up the cliff Chantal had come down and concluded that even with ropes and equipment, it was impossible for anyone to climb down the cliff.

But she did.

A loving, caring God had saved her.

And your conclusion? Let me assure you that you have a guardian angel. Don’t hesitate to call to and seek this heavenly friend. No circumstance or situation is beyond angelic control. Jesus said, “Ask and you shall receive.”

Remember miracles never cease.

WHEN EVIL ATTACKS

MIRACLE BLOG 425

March 22, 2026

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

WHEN EVIL ATTACKS

We are living in a trying time. People don’t want to talk about the Iranian war and opinion is sliding to the negative side. Many people feel hopeless and unable to make a difference in a stressed-out world. Under such circumstances many people often turn to drugs or other substances to relieve the tension. They need an eternal answer that restores hope.

When Maria (name changed for anonymity sake) came in, she had just taken 10 Valium and was completely strung out. Despondent, Maria manifested suicidal signs. She needed serious help and was open to entering a medical health facility. From somewhere, she had swiped a portion of the Eucharist, the Holy Communion, that she was keeping in her pocket. The truth was that she had signed a blood contract with Satan and stolen the Communion wafer in order to desecrate it. In her struggling condition, she still wanted to cancel or break this contract.

The therapist asked her to empty her pocket. Maria reached in and pulled out a deck of Tarot cards, the Communion wafer and the contract. However, when Maria laid the wafer on the table, she began to shake. Her words became jumbled, almost inaudible. The therapist put the wafer in an envelope.

Leaning forward, the counselor said, “Maria, I’d like to pray for you. I’d like to pray a binding prayer to change the hold Evil has on you. You need to be set free from that force.”

When the counselor started to pray, Maria’s face became distorted. Her eyes started to roll. As the therapist prayed, Maria reached over and grabbed the envelope. When the counselor tried to take the envelope out of her hands, Maria held on with superhuman strength.She began making inhuman groans. A strange voice came out of her mouth, proclaiming she was marked as a pig for the devil. Maria smashed the envelope in her hands, crumbling the wafer and throwing it on the floor.

The therapist didn’t flinch but kept praying a binding prayer, calling on the Holy Spirit for strength and the ability to repel Lucifer. After several minutes, Maria reached for the contract. In anguish and shaking, she began to tear up the blood contract. The counselor reached over to anoint her hand to gain complete freedom from Evil. Suddenly an external force ripped her hand away from him and slung it against the wall. Nevertheless, the counselor helped her to confess her faith in Jesus Christ, even though she did so with difficulty.

That night when the counselor brought the broken wafer home with the contract, he threw both in the fireplace to burn as a respectful act of cleansing. The odor was not that of burning paper but burning hair.

Sound wild? Sure, but people everywhere are caught in a grip of evil that must be broken by a divine intervention. Scripture recognizes that this world is filled with turmoil, but the Holy Spirit imparts the joy of the Lord. Don’t look for an external crutch; reach for an internal assist than comes from the Holy Spirit.

Remember: miracles never cease.

DYING, BUT

MIRACLE BLOG 424

March 15, 2026

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

DYING, BUT…

You would find Nina Paul to be a fascinating person. She is a priest with the Open Catholic Church which is highly sacramental, but has no connection with the Roman Catholic Church. Nina Paul is part of the Independent Sacramental Movement and responsible for the St. Theresa Open Seminary. For some time, she has also worked as a hospice chaplain.

An Oxnard, California hospice called Chaplain Paul to come and minister to a dying man. Pee Wee was in the last hours of his life. He could barely talk and wasn’t expected to live through the day. Pee Wee had been turned out at nine years of age and grew up on the streets as a homeless person. All contact with his original family was lost and disappeared 40 years earlier. As best anyone could tell, Pee Wee had no religious training or any sort of a spiritual background or interest.

When Chaplain Paul arrived, she discovered that it was very difficult to understand the man as he could barely speak. She asked Pee Wee what she could do for him.

“I want to be baptized,” he barely uttered.

The Chaplain wasn’t sure she heard right and ask him three times to make sure she had correctly understood his desire. Each time he mumbled “yes” and nodded his head. As any good pastor would do, Nina Paul began the baptismal ceremony using the liturgy of the church and the proper sacramental preparations. After she finished that ceremony, she led Pee Wee in the prayers of Confirmation which ended with, “Strengthen, O Lord, your servant Pee Wee with your Holy Spirit; empower him for your service and sustain him all the days of his life. Amen.”

Pee Wee fell back on the pillow and Nina left. Two hours later, she was at home when the nurse called.

“What in the hell did you do to Pee Wee?” she barked. “Get down here at once!”

Nina couldn’t figure out what she had done wrong, but was terrified. When she got to the hospice center, she found Pee Wee sitting outside in a wheelchair, smoking a cigarette, and talking to one of the patients.

“Two hours ago, he was nearly dead and now he’s completely restored!” the nurse said breathlessly. “Look out there! What did you do?”

Nina Paul hadn’t expected such a dramatic result, but the only explanation was that the Sacrament of Baptism and Confirmation had brought new life to Pee Wee. Nina was overwhelmed. During the next two-weeks, Pee Wee was able to find and restore his broken relationship with his family. He found his mother and a sister he had lost. The long-forgotten family gathered around him and he died peacefully.

Pee Wee had gone from his deathbed to a wheel chair almost instantly. Where did the miracle come from? Nina Paul says, “It was the power of the sacraments that produced the healing.”

The Church brings people into a relationship with the heavenly Father and imparts empowerment. There’s no better place to develop that encounter than a local church. Regardless of what it’s called, find a church that radiates warmth, vitality, and life. The hand of God is already extended. Reach for it.

Remember: miracles never cease.

HOLY PLACES WHERE GRACE RUNS OUT

MIRACLE BLOG 423

March 8, 2026

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

I wrote in a recent story about gatherings where the Holy Spirit is intensely present. Sometimes these centers are churches, shrines, and sometimes people’s home where a small group gathers to pray and study. They come together in a unity of devotion, seeking the Holy Spirit. George and May Rawlings have such a fellowship. (names are anonymous for privacy sake)

George and May have worked to create a unified body of believers who pray fervently for any need. Every Sunday the unexpected happens. For example, a woman came one Sunday with kidney stones. Few illnesses are more painful than Jane’s problem. George and May noticed that the Bible speaks in a number of places about anointing with oil. Subsequently, they carried a special vial of olive oil that came from the Holy Land. The origin didn’t make the difference, but their trust and commitment did.

At the altar time, Jane came forward and knelt. May made the sign of the cross on Jane’s forehead with oil. Both pastors placed their hands on Jane’s head and prayed before she returned to her seat. The following week, Jane returned to the doctor for an exam. The result? The kidney stones had disappeared. Dissolved and left.

The members in George and May’s house church know that healing is a mystery and not predictable. However, they also know that openness to receive can be critical. When Alice came to their house church on Sunday, she was struggling with the fact that there was a family history of cancer, and her annual physical exam had not gone well.

The doctor’s response proved to be grim. “I’m afraid we’re dealing with cervical cancer,” he said. “We must begin treatment immediately.”

Alice knew what those words meant and was terrified. She immediately got in touch with May. Because she always prayed with expectancy, May started interceding at once. Fearing the worst, Alice returned to the doctor for whatever procedure that he would recommend.

The doctor walked briskly into the room, shaking his head. “Alice, I don’t know what to say, but you have no signs of cancer. None. End of story.”

Does this happen occasionally? No … all the time. When people stand near holy places, the overflow of grace is constant. The problem so many people have is that they lack assurance. The thought lurking in the back of their minds is ‘can’t happen to me.’ The truth is it doesn’t depend on you; it depends on God.

Draw near to a devout community of faith and the blessings will follow.

Remember: Miracles never cease.

FINDING HOLY PLACES

MIRACLE BLOG 422

March 1, 2026

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

How do you deal with a prolonged struggle when you keep praying for divine intervention and nothing seems to be happening?

Joanne Moody can answer that question. After the birth of her son in 1999, Joanne was left with severe pain and damage. Surgery was performed in France only to have the worst follow. Joanne died on the operating table.

Leaving her dead body, Joanne felt the first relief from pain that she’d known in six years. The Lord himself entered the surgical suite and said to her, “I have seen your suffering… the prayers of the saints have given you a choice. You can go with Me, or you can stay.” Because of her husband and son, Joanne elected to stay. She survived but with lingering pain. Joanne struggled to understand how to have hope when healing seems impossible.

In the midst of the struggle, Joanne decided to attend a healing conference. On the final night, a businessman prayed over her. He put one finger on her friend’s hand over Joanne’s abdomen and said, ‘In Jesus’ name…’” The pain of almost 15 years left her body. She was in shock.

Joanne Moody had witnessed the hand of God doing what medicine couldn’t. Scripture had taught her to pray without ceasing with thanksgiving —And to trust God for the results regardless of what was at hand. She discovered in the shadows that the catalyst for healing is love through Jesus and his friend’s prayers.

Returning home, Joanne began praying for others as they had prayed for her. Other women joined her. Soon a group formed. Women praying for the sick, discouraged, and floundering in the neighborhoods around them; people with a prolonged struggle.

If you are struggling with physical, emotional, or spiritual pain that just doesn’t seem to go away, Joanne offers this prayer.

Jesus, You are the God of the impossible. For the one who feels hopeless,

Let Your hope rise. In Your name, we declare relief where there is pain,

Strength where there is weakness and freedom where there is fear. ‘Who the

Son sets free is free indeed. Amen.

The results of Joanne’s ministry now stretch far beyond her neighborhood, her state, and her country. She encourages sufferers to remember: You’re not alone; Keep talking to God; develop a community of friends; and seek wise care.

From years of working with struggling people, I can’t explain God’s timing, but I do know He will come in His time. Sometimes the delay is to strengthen us; sometimes our faith is not rightly placed. Sometimes someone needs to come along like the businessman that prayed for Joanne. The point? Our heavenly Father is there regardless!

Remember: Miracles never cease.

GETTING PAST THE STORM

MIRACLE BLOG 420

February 15, 2026

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

GETTING PAST THE STORM

Everybody has lived through frightening storms. When we were children, the deluge seemed especially overwhelming. As adults, we came to grips with the fact that lightning and thunder do have to be taken seriously. Margaret Ann Gutierre made one of the most important discoveries of her life because of a dangerous rainstorm. She can tell you about the surprise that might appear with the crash of lightening and the pounding thunder.

As a teenager, she always took the short-cut through a friend’s backyard that had a large swimming pool. Since the town didn’t require fencing around a pool, Margaret Ann walked right by the water coming and going from her friend’s house. On this particular day, Margaret’s father called for her to come home. It had started raining and he warned her to stay away from that swimming pool.

Lightening was crashing and the large body of water attracted thunderbolts. Would be dangerous to get too close to the water. Margaret decided her father was overreacting and started out with the familiar path alongside the swimming pool. However, the rain was even worse than she realized. Lightening was crashing all around her. Margaret’s fear was turning into terror. The rain came in torrents with lightening flashing on all sides punctuated by terrifying thunder.

Margaret Ann found herself standing by the swimming pool, realizing she should have obeyed her parents. No matter which way she turned, Margaret Ann could see that she was about to be a victim. She was paralyzed with fear. Her legs would not work or move. And then she saw the figure.

Margaret Ann knew she was looking at her guardian angel. An extremely tall exquisite, holy, beautiful being was suddenly standing right in front of her. Surrounded with a blue-white light that was brighter than the lightening. The angel glistened in spite of the storm. With a beautiful complexion, she had long golden wavey hair and vivid blue eyes. A golden circle like a headband was around her head. The angel’s face was so peaceful and quiet that it radiated assurance. The angel beckoned for her to follow.

Margaret Ann felt confidence radiating toward her and drawing her own body forward. Time stood still. With lightening crashing around her and the storm thundering, Margaret Ann knew she could walk right through the onslaught. She started moving forward again, knowing her guardian angel was leading her home.

You don’t have to be standing in a storm to know how paralyzing fear can be. Next time you are hit by anxiety and fear, remember you have a guardian angel that might just be there in front of you seen or unseen. Everybody has one.

Remember: Miracles never cease.

ANGEL ON TRACK NUMBER NINE

BLOG 416

January 17, 2025

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

ANGEL ON TRACK NUMBER NINE

Angels have an assignment to help us when our struggles become overwhelming. We don’t think about the fact that a special angel might be paying attention to us. (But they do). Robin Diettrick discovered this fact when she took her three small children and flew to Germany to meet her military husband.

The flight to Germany with small children was a real chore but when the airplane landed Robin knew her husband would be waiting. When she walked out of the terminal’s exit, Robin received a shock. He wasn’t there! Surely, he was on his way. (But he wasn’t) Because she didn’t speak German, Robin started to panic. She couldn’t even work the German telephone.

“May I be of some small assistance,” an unnoticed middle-aged gentleman standing next to her asked. She explained her plight and the fact she didn’t even have a German coin for a phone call. Producing his own money, the man called the military base for Robin.

She quickly discovered her husband had been in an auto accident and was in the base hospital. She had no idea how to catch the train that would take her to military base. Robin started to cry.

“Don’t worry, madam, I will show you how to catch the train for the military base,” the middle-aged man said. This rather ordinary appearing man shuffled Robin off to a taxi and took the family to the train station. Speaking flawless German, he bought the tickets. Robin hurried to catch the train. Ready to collapse, she dropped into the seat.

The helpful man abruptly appeared on the train’s outside window yelling to Robin she had gotten on the wrong line. Her train would be coming next. He helped the family back to the platform to wait for the right train. Once the cars pulled in, the man again helped her on and reassured Robin the conductor on spoke English.

How did he know?
Robin saw him go to the exit to get off the train. She watched but he didn’t step down. He simply walked to the exit door and disappeared. As the train pulled away, Robin began to realize what had occurred with this vanishing man who knew everything she needed to know and even had the right money. He was an angel! Robin Dietrick had been through chaos to safety by an angel!

The Apostle Paul told us to pay attention because angels come when we are unaware. An angel is waiting and working for you. Here’s Robin’s question for you. Are you watching? Paying attention? One of the ways that the hands of God are extended to us is through these angelic friends. Don’t be hesitant to reach out when you’re in need. Turn unaware into awareness.

Remember: Miracles never cease.

A SURPRISE AT A TRUCK STOP

Blog 413

December 28, 2026

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

A SURPRISE AT A TRUCK STOP

Ready or not, 2026 is coming straight at us! Here’s an experience to help you get ready.

Junior Neece had a deep and unique love and concern for the poor. Having grown up under difficult circumstances, he knew how hard poverty can be. In the 70’s even though he could neither read nor write, Junior went off to a southern university to play football. Because he was unusually big and strong, they weren’t worried about something as unimportant as going to class or passing a test. So, Junior rocked along knocking people out of his way on the gridiron.

Rev. Michael Owen knew about Junior’s work with the poor and invited him to speak in a church he was pastoring. The effect was electric as Junior’s message was so powerful and personal that people were moved to be more generous than usual. Mike wondered where this capacity had come from. Junior told him this story.

He stopped at a filling station to fill up for the long trip to Alabama. Junior figured that ought to take him maybe to Memphis, Tennessee. A disheveled old man walked up and ask if he could catch a ride south. At first, Junior was hesitant. Hitchhikers weren’t particularly safe, but something nudged him to give the man a ride.

“Sure,” Junior said. “Get in my pickup.”

As they rode down the highway. The old man began to ask questions. “Did you ever tell your wife and boys about your struggles growing up?”

Junior stared. How could this guy know he was married and had children?

The old man kept pressing. “You’ve had lots of painful experiences, haven’t you?”

Junior could feel his words cutting into him. The man began describing in detail some of Junior’s hardest moments. Tears started running down his face. He coughed and sputtered. This old man had touched the deepest places in his life, places he had tried to avoid. Junior began to feel the love of God shinning into his heart and moving him deeply. His road trip had turned into an epiphany.

Finally, the gas gauge indicated a need to fill up. Wiping the tears from his eyes, he pulled into a gas station and got out. “I’ll be right back,” he told the old man. He hung up the gas pump and got back in the truck. The old man had disappeared.

Long ago, the Apostle Paul told us to pay attention because some of have been visited by angles unaware. Expect them to be around you in 2026. Look for their touch. Such a visit forever changed Junior Neece’s life and it can yours. By the way, Junior learned to read and write through studying the Bible.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I’ll be back in 2026!
