ALICE HAS A MIRACLE

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 Church with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

ALICE HAS A MIRACLE

I’d known Alice Collier for a number of years when she asked me to use a pseudonym in sharing her experience.  A bright, attractive middle-aged mother of three children, Alice felt secure in her marriage. Since her husband was a doctor, money had never been an issue. Never a highly emotional person, Alice had always be rational to the point of being highly analytic and easily using numbers.

She discovered her husband had developed some kind of emotional problem that she couldn’t understand. With episodes of being distanced, he had become silent in talking about himself and their marriage. Alice went out for a walk thinking about what was wrong. She felt rejected with no place to turn. The marriage was disintegrating as she was coming back, she spiritually heard words telling her “She was discarded”.

For the first time in her life, Alice realized she had a physical enemy, a specific person who wanted to destroy her. Another woman was after her husband. She seemed to be sinking into the ground and filled with fear. She ran into the house and grabbed her Bible.

Alice always felt God spoke to her through the scripture. As she opened the Bible, Isaiah 41:14 fell before her. “Fear not … I will help you,” says the Lord.” Because God spoke to her through the Bible. Now she knew God had not rejected her.

That night Alice realized that her marriage was over and she again was filled with dread and a profound sense of loss. In the darkness, she went into her closet and closed the door. Kneeling on the floor, Alice again poured out her brokenness and grief. All through the night, she cried and sobbed, pouring out her anxiety before God and claiming His promises to help her. As the earliest rays of the rising sun began to pour through her windows, Alice realized a figure in a robe was physically standing in front of her. She looked into the face of Jesus as he raised his hand and blessed her. Alice was overwhelmed but restored. Not only had God promised to help, but He also literally quenched her fear. The living Lord was with her indeed!

Alice raised her hands and started shouting, “I love you God, more than anything in my life, I love you.”

She had always worried that she didn’t love God as she should, but that was changed.

As He sustains us in our hours of need, our heavenly Father causes us to love Him as we should. When we know He loves us, our lives are filled with joy even in our hour of desperate need.

            In our darkest hour, the Lord Jesus is standing in the shadows whether we see Him with the clarity that Alice did or not. While it may not seem so at that moment, He will be guiding with a miraculous love.

            Remember: miracles never cease.

HOW TO KILL A MIRACLE

HOW TO KILL A MIRACLE

               Delores Winder received one of the most remarkable miracles in our time. Facing death, Delores was terminally ill with pseudoarthrosis and had been wearing a body cast for 14 years. There was no known medical cure and Delores stayed in constant pain, literally living on tranquilizers. Delores knew her time was limited. Someone suggested that she attend a Methodist conference on the Holy Spirit in Dallas, Texas.

            Delores grew up in Johnstown, Pennsylvania and had heard of Kathryn Kuhlman who once lived in the area. She was known as a “faith healer” and a controversial person. By this time Ms. Kuhlman was on television, but Delores didn’t watch. Nevertheless, she had a conviction that she should attend the convention center and had to be carried inside. In Kathryn’s usual flamboyant manner, she floated across the stage and began talking and praying.

            Delores suddenly felt like her legs were on fire. She was carried on to the stage and discovered her entire body was being restored. Delores was wondrously healed! As she was restored, Kathryn Kuhlman told her, “Now you have work to do.”

            That work became praying for people. On one of these occasions, Delores was praying with a lady who had been crippled with arthritis. As they prayed, Delores felt that the woman had a problem with unforgiveness. When she inquired, the woman said, “No, I’ve forgiven everyone. However, Delores kept feeling the lady harbored resentment.  As she kept asking, the woman insisted there was no problem. Then, a word drifted across Delores’ mind, Brother.

            As Delores pressed, the woman admitted she had a brother but had “x’d” him out of her life. Couldn’t be him. Delores stared. How could the woman claim no animosity when she clearly had an ongoing struggle with her brother for twelve years? The conflict had to be resolved if healing was to follow.  Delores discovered the woman only lived two doors away from her brother!  Two doors distance had resulted in crippling arthritis.

            How do you destroy the possibility of a miracle? It isn’t hard. Just be resentful and unforgiving. That’s all it takes. Millions with issues have continually cried out  to God while still harboring resentment and bitterness. They believe in God, but not in keeping their slate clean.

            Jesus made it clear in the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) that we must get things right with everyone before we come before the Lord. Wherever you are in your life’s journey, don’t kill the possibilities of restoration by harboring animosity or indignation. That’s how you stay open to the possibility of a miracle.

            Remember: miracles never cease.

TURNING PAIN INTO PROMISE

Blog 390

June 15, 2025

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.

TURNING PAIN INTO PROMISE

People often ask, “How long should I pray for someone”? Could a continual intercession make a difference? The answer is yes. In my experience, prayer is not an attempt to get God’s attention. Rather, praying is linking hands with our heavenly Father and becoming a conduit of grace and healing power. Continual intercession becomes like a flowing stream that continually bathes the need in healing waters.

Luke Burgie is an example. During the summer months, I spent time in the Colorado mountains not that far from Colorado Springs where Luke lives. In late 1998 and early 1999, medical reports certify that Luke had been constantly sick every day for over six months. Seven doctors, including a specialist from Children’s Hospital in Denver worked with Luke, but nothing made any difference or brought improvement. The test after test could not determine what was wrong with Luke.

His family could see that Luke was running out of time. He barely ate and his body rejected everything he consumed. Ten percent of his body weight disappeared. Luke was literally wasting away.

Luke’s mother Jan Burgie taught religious education in a Roman Catholic School where she worked with Sisters from the Mount St. Francis Convent. Sister Clarice immediately recognized the seriousness of Luke’s situation. Returning to the sisters, she declared a Novena for Luke.

The word Novena is Latin for “time” meaning a long continual prayer for a specific need. The sisters agreed to pray constantly and continually for Luke’s illness. For nearly a month, they prayed. Suddenly at the end of the Novena, Luke’s pain abruptly disappeared.

Overnight everything became normal. He could eat. His strength returned and his body no longer rejected food. Luke was healed.

The change was so instantaneous and profound that after extensive investigation, the Roman Catholic Church officially declared Luke Burgie’s recovery was a miracle. Today Luke tries to avoid the media and their attention. He hardly remembers the illness and knows only what others have told him. The family remains thrilled that he has recovered.

And what do you learn from Luke Burgie’s experience? The extensive continual prayer of faithful devout people changes problems turning pain into promise. We definitely can live by hope. Been praying for someone longer than a month? When the burden seems insurmountable and the mountain unclimbable, stay on your knees. Jesus told us to pray always and not give up.

(Luke 18:1)

The point? Don’t stop praying … and remember miracles never cease.

ANGELS IN REAL ESTATE?

Blog 389

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.

ANGELS IN REAL ESTATE?

               You may have to stop and think to remember that the Old Testament and most of the New Testament were written by Jews. The Christian community often forgets that the miraculous working of God continues to go on through the Jewish community. One of my dearest Jewish friends experienced the interventions of God a number of times. Recently while I was having lunch with David and Karen Brass, Karen shared an example of the Holy Spirit’s work in the Colorado mountains.

The Brass family discovered that property values were soaring. A neighbor’s $290,000 house had sold for over $900,000 dollars. Maybe they should look around because they were contemplating moving anyway. The idea drifted away.

            A few days later, Karen went to bed without thought about the real estate situation in Pine Junction. She slipped into a deep slumber as she always did. However, this night would prove to be different. Three angels appeared in her rivalry. Brass’s son Adam’s middle name was Gabriel and, in the night, the real Gabriel began communicating along with the two additional angels.

            The visitor told Karen precisely what they must do immediately to get top dollar for their house. Data began to roll in directing exactly what the family must do to prepare their house and how the legal matters must be approached. The information came like an explosion of insight with specific direction covering every aspect of how to sell at once. Angelic insight and specifics provided the necessary details for perfect sales.

            Karen suddenly woke up and sat straight up in bed. The effect was so overwhelming that she began sobbing. Three angels had laid out the exact plan they must follow! They were told to expect a glitch or two, but not to worry if they followed the angelic direction.

            What happened?

            The Brass family sold their home for top dollar with their property in order for a quick sale just as the angels had instructed them. Because they had accrued some significant medical expenses, those bills could be paid off out of the profit from the sale of the house.

            Are angels still out there? You bet. Are angels able to guide us? You bet. Would it be worthwhile for you to attempt to cultivate a relationship with your guardian angel? You bet.  Angels are always watching and caring about you more than anyone in the world could.

THE OPERATION WAS INEVITABLE UNTIL…

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

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.

THE OPERATION WAS INEVITABLE UNTIL…

            Sure, there are quacks around and charlatans that “fake” the intervention of God. At the same time, gifted believers can provide wonderful results.  The first time I attended a Kathryn Kulman service I had no idea what to expect. By the time I left two and a half hours later, I was overwhelmed. I realized empowered people were endowed with a capacity to bring healing results.

            Patricia Robinson discovered the same by accident. An x-ray on her left knee revealed osteoarthritis. The cartilage had worn away along with bone spurs creating pain. She found it hard to accept this result and went for a second opinion. An Orthopedic surgeon at Orthopedic Consultants in Minneapolis confirmed the earlier diagnosis. Pat needed knee replacement. Surgery was scheduled.

            She dreaded the idea. As Pat studied the preparation book given by the surgeon, Pat also started praying… praying hard. From her study of the Bible, she embraced her heavenly Father as Jehovah Rapha, her healer.

            Someone noticed that a healing crusade was coming to the Target Center in Minneapolis. Other friends from her church were going. Couldn’t hurt anything. Why not?    

            When Pat and her husband arrived, the building was already crowded and they had to sit in the balcony. They argued with the usher that they needed to be down front because of her problem. The usher assured them “when the anointing comes, you’ll get it right in your chair.” They had no choice but to settle in.

            People shared testimonies. The evangelist preached and then interceded for people lined up before him. Pat watched as people were decisively healed.

            Near the end of the service, the evangelist suddenly looked up in the balcony. “Someone up there is scheduled for surgery next week.” He pointed to where Pat was sitting. “Cancel your surgery. You are healed.”

            Pat could hardly believe her ears. Was it her? Seemed to be, but was it too good to be true? By the time they arrived home, she had her answer. She could run up and down the stairs easily and with no pain. She was healed!

            When she called to halt surgery, Pat shared her experience with an amazed doctor.  Now years later, Pat remains healed. The trip to the crusade was everything she needed. She had a miracle.

            The next time such a crusade comes to your town investigate and if the reports hold up, don’t be afraid to attend and reach out. Could be your opportunity to join Pat in praising Jehovah Rapha.

WHEN THE DARKNESS DIED

Blog 383

April 20, 2025

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.

WHEN THE DARKNESS DIED

            Easter is the celebration of the amazing transforming miracle of light. The Light has shined into the darkness and the darkness has never overcome it. On Easter we remember how the darkness of death was dispelled.

            No matter where you look in the world, you will find cemeteries. At the edge of every town, there is a graveyard and everyone knows that’s where they will eventually reside. We try to avoid the fact, but in the moments when we are most lucid, we recognize the inevitable. One day we will be there.

            And then Easter morning comes.

            The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead proclaims that Light has shined into the darkness of the grave and the darkness has not over come it. Easter proclaims that every tomb is now filled with Light and the darkness cannot halt the penetrating glow.

            That’s the miracle of Easter.

            Our worst fear has been conquered. Death has no power over us. Every dark night will give way to a new day of promise. When church choirs sing, “Christ the Lord is risen today,” they are singing to the past, the present, and the future, that no amount of darkness will ever stop the Light.

            That is the greatest miracle of all.

            And that miracle never ceases.

DEALING WITH DEATH

Blog 382

April 13, 2025

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.

DEALING WITH DEATH

            Father Rick Thomas lived a fascinating life. A Jesuit, his concern for the poor, the disposed, and the needy produced a life filled with significant impact that helped a multitude of people. Recently I was reading Richard Dunstan’s book A Poor Priest for the Poor. Dunstan traces the path that wound through the depths of El Paso and across the river into Juarez, Mexico. You would find the story fascinating.

            In 1978, the Charismatic Movement swept across America. One of the consequences was a conference on the Holy Spirit held at Notre Dame. Father Rick Thomas was touched by this outpouring. What followed was amazing.

            A 47-year-old Juarez woman suddenly fainted. Everyone was upset although her condition didn’t seem to be much out of the ordinary.  One of the Daughters of Charity was also a registered nurse and resuscitation expert. When she returned to the house, she was immediately called on to make sure the woman’s pulse was okay. At that moment, the nurse realized that the women had stopped breathing and there were no vital signs.

            Father Thomas had been taking a nap, but the nurse woke him in a panic. She knew disaster was unfolding. The nurse started mouth-to-mouth resuscitation. When  their was no response, she sat the woman up and performed the Heimlich maneuver. The nurse quickly realized their was another problem. As she was blowing into the women’s mouth to reach her lungs, the women’s cheeks were swelling, but no air was going to her lungs. This had happened with another patient and even though a doctor was working on the resuscitation, the patient died. The nurse knew the clock was ticking and time had virtually run out.

            Through the impact of the Notre Dame conference, Father Thomas had learned about something called “the spirit of death.” Through the power of the Holy Spirit he had heard that we have power over that spirit. If the women’s time had not come, he needed to exercise that command.

            Father Rick laid his hands on the woman and prayed, “Spirit of death, I cast you out in Jesus’ name.”

            The woman abruptly took a sudden breath and began to regurgitate. Her breathing became normal. Father Rick took her by the hand and slowly she got to her feet. After a couple minutes of rest, she returned to her normal life. Father Rick never emphasized the event as he accepted it as a normal part of a Christian life simply following the example set by Jesus.

            Do you have the capacity to dispel such “spirits of evil?” Sure you do. The Holy Spirit is the answer. Allow Him to work … and the results are always wonderful!     

            Remember miracles never cease.

DOES PRAYER WORK?

Blog 383

April 6, 2025

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.

DOES PRAYER WORK?

            People often quip “I’m praying for you,” by which they mean “take an aspirin and you’ll feel better.” The idea is a polite way of saying “wish you the best.” However, anyone who follows miraculous events quickly discovers that prayer (Calling on God) is almost always involved in a divine intervention. Way too often we underestimate the power of intercession. It is not a cliché. This becomes particularly true when a large number of people agree and pray about our need.

            Why?

            Think of yourself as a single strand of wire. You would be able to conduct only a small amount of current compared to a large cable. Many, many strands of wire wound together became capable of carrying a powerful surge of power. That’s just basic physics.  Prayer is like that force.

            There’s another way prayer and electricity can be compared. In a sense we don’t know what electricity, lightning, or hydroelectricity actually is. We can tame the force and channel it, but it remains a surge of pure energy. Prayer is much the same. We’re not shouting at God, “Hey pay attention.” We are conveying an unseen and undefined reality that might be called “life.” We are applying the force of restorative stimulation to a need. When we pray, we are sending divine energy through our intercessions. Results follow.

            We have just witnessed in the headlines this happening. As you may know, although I am a Protestant, Pope Francis asked me to be his Apostolic Representative for Christian Unity.  I follow his Holiness closely.

            The world was shaken by the Pope’s illness during these past weeks. The doctors did not think he would survive. Archbishops around the world prepared to return to Rome for a Conclave. It didn’t happen.

            Across the globe and in the Vatican’s St. Peter’s Square Piazza crowds of people gathered to pray for his recovery. Many Protestant Churches had special prayer sessions for his well-being. At one point his oxygen saturation dropped to a dangerous low 78. The Pope’s closest aides had tears in their eyes when the doctors asked his personal nurse for permission to proceed with a more aggressive treatment. But prayers had become a cable.

            Dr. Sergio Alfieri said, “It was a miracle he left the hospital.”

            Archbishops cancelled their travels. People rejoiced. Virtually no one expected Pope Francis to recover, but they prayed. The result? A miracle!

             Think what might happen if all kinds of congregations came together to pray with one voice for everything from world peace to the healing of their sick. Their prayers would become a cable of caring conveying life and well-being. Why not give it a try?

            Remember miracles never cease.
