SHE LOOKED AND THERE WAS AN ANGEL…

            Everyone is fascinated by angels. In fact, many people who don’t believe in most Christian ideas still believe in angels. Ask Barbara Yeates.

            No one understands any better than Barbara. Experiencing the real thing forever changed her life. Always a spiritual person, she did not have any anticipation of a divine intervention. While sleeping with her husband Jeff, her perception entirely changed one night.

            Barbara wasn’t sure whether she was asleep or not, but she was completely aware when she realized two angels were standing by the bed. The size of the angels awed her. Barbara recognized that the one closest to her was huge.

            The angel told her, “Do not worry abut your parents as we will watch over them. We are not ready to receive them yet.”

            Barbara wasn’t sure if she heard with her ears or her mind, but the message was resoundingly clear. She heard plainly and this was one of the most real experiences of her life.

            Her husband Jeff suddenly asked. “What’s wrong!”

            Jarred by his question, Barbara sat up in bed, but the angels were gone.

            For a long time, Barbara told no one about her experience. She feared they would think she was crazy. However, she bought every book she could find on people who had experienced angels. Each one had the same experience of hearing the angels speak but not seeing their mouth move.

            Two weeks later, Jeff received a message that they were being transferred to Germany. Barbara immediately panicked. Who would take care of her parents? They needed her oversight. At that moment, the memory of the angelic visit surged through her mind. Hadn’t the angels promised to care for her parents? Was that not an amazing divine intervention? Absolutely! Well before the fact, the angels had come to give her peace about was ahead. Her parents would be taken care of.

            The experience changed her life. A conviction about the presence of God had always been there, but this event turned her faith into total assurance. She needed no proofs about her beliefs. The intentions of God were fulfilled.

            While the mind of God is inscrutable, we can catch glimpses of the divine plan and purposes. One of the components in His actions is that the future will be preserved in a positive way. While it always remains a mystery as to why the heavenly Father worked for one person or situation and not another, we can still perceive that the miraculous is always an expression of love.

And remember: miracles never cease!

DREAMS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING

DREAMS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING (REPOST)

            Ever have a dream that changed everything? A dream that lingered for days? Such dreams spring from the unconscious and have a way of burrowing into our conscious minds, alerting us to something important that we may have missed? The biblical stories of Jacob dreaming of a ladder coming down from heaven or Joseph being warmed to take the baby Jesus to Egypt reminds us of the importance of dreams. Here’s an example.

            Tom Doyle was an important frontline missionary in Egypt with a special ability to work with Muslims. The contact began when he discovered something was happening in the dreams of many Muslims encountering Jesus.  His friend Rami had one of these dreams.

            A man in a white robe appeared in Rami’s dream and said that he loved him. In his dream, Rami was standing beside a lake when he walked over and kissed Jesus. As Tom listened to people in Gaza City, he began to hear the same story again and again. Jesus would appear in the dream in a white robe, telling the person that he loved them and had died for them. Similar dream reports began coming in from all directions, Iran, Iraq, Syria, were reporting the identical dream.

            Ads were placed even in Egyptian newspapers. “Have you seen a man in a white robe in your dream? He has a message for you. Call this number.” These ads became a way that Christian ministries reached people.

            Kamal, one of his associates, felt he should go down to the Khan el-Khalin market place because God had a special assignment for him there. Out of the crowd, a Muslim woman named Noor broke through the crowd shouting, “You were in my dream last night! You’re the one. Those clothes – you were wearing those clothes. For sure, it was you.”

            Tom Doyle asked Noor, “Was I with Jesus?”

            “Yes,” the woman said. “Jesus was with us.”

            The woman explained, “Jesus walked with me alongside a lake and told me how much he loved me. I never felt so much peace. I ask him, “Why are you visiting me, a poor Muslim woman with eight children?” He said, “I love you, Noor. I have given everything for you. I died for you. Tomorrow, ask my friend about me. He will tell you everything you need to know to understand my visit.”

            “I have never been loved like I was when Jesus walked with me in that dream,” Noor said.

            The risen Christ is still coming to people both in their dreams and in their daily experience. Ask him to come to you, awake or asleep. He’ll show up with empowerment.

            Remember: miracles never cease!

MORE THAN ONE MIRACLE?

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

MORE THAN ONE MIRACLE?

Often, we think of people experiencing a miracle as if that’s a once in a lifetime experience. If you’ve had one, fantastic… but more than one?  One after another? Remember that the miraculous is a product of a divine relationship. Put away your calculator.

            Jodie Berndt discovered this fact when she lived with her younger sister Jennifer’s struggle with colon cancer. Jodie thought the problem was only a disorder. She didn’t understand that Jennifer stood at death’s door. Her sister simply kept her problem to herself until her mother recognized the lump in her stomach required a doctor.  The medical prognosis was immediate. Jennifer had a malignant tumor: cancer.

            But Jennifer immediately turned to and trusted God. She believed her heavenly Father would heal her. As she prayed, the scripture verse came to mind. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…” She knew God had spoken. Miracle one: Jennifer knew she would be healed.

            The story of Jennifer’s resolute faith spread and a local newspaper even wrote an article on her convictions. She was deluged by visitor’s and people she had never met wanting to know about her faith. A woman wrote, “If this teenager can find joy in the Lord, so can I.” The impact spread. Miracle two: others were impacted.

            Jennifer’s tumor had to be removed because it had grown to the size of a grapefruit. The doctors felt there was a good chance that the cancer had spread. To their amazement they could find no trace of cancer anywhere else in Jennifer’s body. It couldn’t be possible, but it wasMiracle three.

            As a follow-up, a specialist at John Hopkins University examined Jennifer and came back with a conclusion. “It’s very unusual. I can’t even tell she ever had cancer.” Jennifer had recovered in an astonishing amount of time. She reflected, “Even with the physical pain, this has been one of the best times in my life.” Ten years later the physician who removed the tumor wrote, “Contrary to what so-often happens, she is clear of any risk of recurrence.” Miracle four.

            Jennifer’s perspective? Certainly, she was grateful for the healing, but her response was surprising. “The real miracle is in how God used my experience for His glory. I wrote down all the ways He was glorified and I counted more than sixty-five different items.”

            Thanks, Jennifer, for reminding us that glorifying God is the path to the miraculous.

Remember: miracles never cease!

THE ANGEL SWOOPED IN AND

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 and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.

THE ANGEL SWOOPED IN AND…

            Recently a dear friend asked me about angels. Did I believe in them? Do they really make a difference? She had been in a worship service where I was part of a time of healing prayer and ministry. People were touched and results followed. Did I think angels had some part in that service? Certainly.

            I explained that angels often use light, heat, or touch as vehicles to bring results. The person may have a sense of warmth that appears out of nowhere. Sometimes light will seem to envelope the person. Even though others don’t see the radiance, the person’s spiritual inner vision recognizes the need to be bathed in light. Perhaps, one of the most reassuring sensations is when we feel a touch and know no one is present. Angels simply work in their own ways.

            Eileen Freeman had a friend with a broken arm. The pain continually shot through her body and the break would not heal.  (For anonymity sake let’s call her Mary Ann) Her arm remained in a cast for six months. Ceaseless pain drained Mary Ann’s emotions and there seemed to be no end in sight. Doctors predicted that if the bone did heal, it would always be weak. The woman was completely discouraged.

            One evening after the children were in bed, Mary Ann sat in the living room with her husband. The pain reduced her to tears. She cried out, “Dear Jesus, I can’t take this anymore. Would you please send your angel to heal me. I would be so grateful.”

            A calmness settled over Mary Ann and she felt her depression lift. She immediately took this as a sign that healing would come. Because her spirit had been touched, she could now deal with the pain. The next evening as Mary Ann was sitting in the same living room, she felt a sudden surge of warmth and heat in her broken arm. She felt has if someone had touched her. As the sensation of heat faded, Mary Ann no longer felt pain. The woman flexed her fingers and her waist. Everything felt fine.

            A couple of days later, Mary Ann went to her orthopedist for x-rays.  Her arm had completely healed and he removed the cast. She had been touched by an angel.

            Could that happen to you? Of course. Unfortunately, most of us generally don’t reach out until we become desperate. From the deepest depths of our soul, we become open. But it doesn’t have to be in despair that we discover the angelic presence. Your guardian angel is there right now.    

            Remember: miracles never cease!

THE TERRORIST STARTED TO KILL WHEN

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 and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.

THE TERRORIST STARTED TO KILL WHEN …

            To say white supremacist David Young was a little crazy is an understatement. He came wheeling into Cookeville, Wyoming intent upon wiping out the elementary school. At one time Young had been the town’s marshal but was fired for incompetence and reckless behavior. Now, he was back to make the town pay.

 With gasoline bombs, rifles, and handguns, he and his wife raced into the school shouting, “This is a revolution, and I’m taking your school hostage!” The school secretary was warned that setting off any alarms or calling the police would result in every child being killed. Nearly a third of the town’s population, 150 children and several teachers were herded into a large room. They could only be saved by him receiving a $300 million ransom and a personal call from the President. His diary would later reveal that his real plan was to get the money and then blow-up the school, his wife, and himself.

When Young took off for the bathroom, he handed the bomb to his wife Doris. She apparently set it off by accident. The cataclysmic explosion completely wrapped her in flames. Smoke shot across the building. Teachers tried to throw children out the window as the entire room broke into flashing fire.

But it was in the midst of the attack that the miracles unfolded.

The escaping children told their parents what they saw. Down through the ceiling “beings of light” began to descend. First grader Nathan Harley thought immediately that they were angels. Rachel and Katie Walker said they were “bright like light bulbs” and that they hovered over the hostages protecting them from the flames. The angel hovering over Nathan told him she was his great grandmother. “The bomb is going to explode and the bad people are going to die. Go stand by the window.” Other “beings of light” told other children the same thing. A six-year-old heard “the presence” say a bomb was about to explode and she should hurry to the window.

Bomb expert Richard Haskell of the Sweetwater County sheriff’s office said, “To call it a miracle is the understatement of the century.”

Miracles happen in many different ways every day. The truth is that children are often more open than adults. They particularly frequently see and hear what their elders miss.  Here’s their message for you. Open yourself that you may see what you would never have expected otherwise.

THOUSANDS STARED IN AMAZEMENT WHEN

THOUSANDS STARED IN AMAZEMENT WHEN …

            Every now and then I run across an amazing event that stops me in my tracks. In our secular society, most people don’t expect anything supernatural to happen and aren’t looking. But here’s what happened in Egypt when someone was open.

            A wealthy Muslim felt that the Madonna had appeared to him in a vivid dream asking him to build a church. The Virgin Mary promised to return when the church was finished. As unusual as it seemed, the Muslim constructed a Christian Church.

            Forty-three years later the devout old Muslim and his dream had been forgotten. An auto repair shop had been built across the street. Two Muslim mechanics stepped out for a breath of fresh air and noticed a glowing female standing on top of St. Mary’s Church of Zeitoun. They assumed a nun was contemplating suicide and ran for the pastor. When they returned, the woman was gone. Nevertheless, the word spread and at night crowds began to gather, hoping to see the lady return.

            Abruptly on April 9, the radiant lady appeared in a robe of glorious light. After that night, she kept appearing randomly and frequently on the roof of the church. Pictures were taken by the growing crowd. In startling clarity, the photos presented her figure real and confounding. The appearances lasted from 10 minutes to several hours. “Doves of light” appeared flying around the church. The crowds grew from tens of thousands to over 100,000. Everyone saw the Lady on the roof!

            Bishop Samuel, official investigator for the Copic Church, came and witnessed the bright light surrounding the Lady. Coptic Pope Kryllos sent Bishop Athanasius and he was equally overwhelmed. This “Lady of the Light” made hundreds of appearances before she stopped coming. While no exact reason for the appearances was ever revealed, the unresolved mystery  of her appearances continued as a response to the cold skepticism of the secular age. Conventional assumptions about reality had been severely challenged.

            Do those appearance stop you in your tracks? Gives you something to think about? While we may not know why they are, these appearances do have a purpose. Maybe one of them is to wake us up!

LOST IN DESPAIR UNTIL

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

LOST IN DESPAIR UNTIL…

            Steve Kilcoyne was born into an Irish Catholic working class family. What his life was supposed to be was challenged to the core when he was drafted into service in the Vietnam war. Three times he appealed to avoid the inevitable, but was soon on his way to Da Nang. As was true for so, so many, the only way he could sustain his life with the carnage and terror was to stay drunk at night and stay on substance-induced drugs during the day. His life took on a surreal disoriented quality.

            When he returned to America, Steve began living on the street and wound up in the Haight Ashbury streets of San Francisco.  The summer of love had died and the streets were filled with drug addicts. One Spring afternoon, Steve walked down a street, struggling, angry, talking to himself, when he came to a red light and stopped. Before the light could change, his life was about to change.

            Steve looked up and saw a small angel hovering in the air above his head. Holding a sledge hammer, the angel kept beating on an iron anvil. Abruptly, on the other side a second angel was doing the same thing. In a flash, Steve felt a shockwave of awe and his war time wounds responding to this angelic presence. The desperation and savage anxiety eating away inside of him broke open. Steve knew he was no longer alone. As he gazed at the angels, incredible serenity filled him. These beings had come to protect and help him. Love that he had never known filled him. The angels pounding on their anvils sent a new energy through his body.

            Steve left the street life and went to a veteran’s hospital to deal with the trauma from the war. He quit drinking and using drugs. He contributed to the military’s growing understanding of post-trauma stress disorder. As his healing continued, he vowed to make some kind of meaningful art out of his war experience. With symbols of language and dreams, he wanted to portray the hidden truths that give life meaning. Out of this time came a dream he called Angels/Anvils. His theater of healing brought new reconciliation to a war-torn world.

            And how did the change occur? By an angelic visitation. You don’t have to go through the misery and struggle Steve did to recognize angels are equally concerned for you. Everybody has a guardian angel seen or unseen. That angel is continually working for you. Reach out and tell him hello.
