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.

WAS IT A COINCIDENCE OR…

            Would you consider it a miracle if you heard God speak to you? Even the idea would be considered delusional by most of society. And yet the woods are full of stories of exactly this happening. The sound doesn’t resonate with the ear drum but comes through like a thought drifting into the mind.  I have a file full of stories about people driving down the street when a totally unexpected idea flashed through their thoughts and it turned out to have a divine origin.

            And what about circumstances? Could they be an expression of a divine intervention? Could “something” just happen and turn out to be the hand of God at work? Let me give you an example.

            Roger E. Olson, Ph.D grew up in a Christian home and was a professor at a major seminary and is an ardent Evangelical. Following a medical examination, Roger Olson returned home troubled and discouraged that he might be facing serious surgery.

            As he wrestled with the worry, the words of an old hymn kept running through his mind. Even though he hadn’t heard the hymn since childhood, the words kept running through his mind. Because the hymn was ancient, he didn’t feel it could be found. Still the words kept running through his mind like a broken record providing background noise to his worries. They seemed to ring with reassurance.

            On Sunday Dr. Olson and his wife went to a worship service in their local church. The designated opening hymn was #220, Crown Him with Many Crowns. He reached for the hymnal and turned to page #220 but it wasn’t what was announced. To his shock, it was the exact hymn he thought of all week and couldn’t find. He looked again. Roger Olson wasn’t holding the church’s hymnal. The book had come from a completely different church and was the only one of that kind in the entire church. It just happened to be there in front of him, the only one in the entire building?

            Coincidence or confirmation?

            Don’t expect the miraculous always to be dramatic and spectacular. Sometimes the most amazing demonstrations happen with the simplest of circumstances. Keep your ears open. A new song just might be waiting for you.

THEY DIDN’T BELIEVE IN MIRACLES UNTIL…

            Living in a secular society in what now appears to be a post-Christian culture, these numbers may surprise you. In Lee Strobel’s The Case for Miracles, his research found that 67% of the American public believe in miracles.  Startling as it may be, 38 % say they have experienced a miracle. That amounts to 94,792,00 Americans who claim such an event happened to them! Over half believe that the miracles described in the Bible actually happened as they are described. What percent don’t believe in miracles? Only 15%!

            Here’s an example why people believe.

            For anonymity sake, let’s call the family “the Smith’s” with a son named Will. Coming home from church, a ten-year old Will was playing with the car’s backdoor handle when he accidently depressed it and the door flew open. As the car sped down the street, Will was thrown out onto the pavement. A deadly calamity!

            Horrified! The parents whirled the car around, expecting to find Will laying on the street terrible injured … possibly dead. To their surprise, the boy was standing there unharmed! Mrs. Smith rushed out of the car screaming, “What happened?”

            “Didn’t you see the man?” the boy explained. “The man who caught me.”

            There was no man.

            Badly shaken, Will’s father took out a handkerchief to wipe his eyes. He could hardly speak. How could this escape from death be explained? Mr. Smith said, “There’s no doubt in my mind that an angel caught him.”

            The Smith family joined that 67% who believe and the 38% who experienced a miracle. Believe in miracles? The odds will be in our favor. Join up.

RUSHING TO DEATH WHEN…

            Everyone is concerned with the terrible war raging in the Gaza Strip. Regardless of your political persuasion, what is and has happened is heart breaking. Could anything good come out of this chaos? Doesn’t seem so.

            And yet the love of God is not bound. Here’s an example of how divine concern is still at work in the Holy Land.  For anonymity sake, we’ll call the man I’m talking about Omar Habibi. Here’s what happened to Omar.

            Because he was a Palestinian, Omar grew up in a refugee camp. The hardship had turned him into a bitter enemy of Israel. He felt the Jews had kicked him out of a normal life and robbed him of happiness. Consequently, his goal in life had become to kill as many Jews as possible. Bitterness motivated his every thought.  Omar wanted to be part of some group that would fight against the Jews. He made contact with people who worked with Hamas and set out to join the terrorist group.

            Omar walked down the narrow, winding streets of Jerusalem on his way to a secret rendezvous when abruptly a man in a white robe appeared in front of him. The figure pointed at him and said, “Omar, this is not the life I have planned for you. Turn around. Go home. I have another plan for you.”

            Mystified, Omar staggered home in a daze. He couldn’t shake off the experience. Later that day Omar saw a new tenant moving in across the hall from him and heard the man was a Christian. Omar knew nothing about Jesus, but had to know more about what happened to him out there on the street. Because of his encounter, he asked the Christian what the experience might mean. The new friend took him to the scriptures and helped him understand that he had been confronted by the Jesus who physically walked the earth 2,000 years ago and now returned spiritually to help people. Omar had been confronted by a miracle.

            Omar was astounded. He could not deny what he had seen in the street. In a way that he could not fully comprehend or explain, Omar had met the risen Christ. The young man changed his mind and his destiny. Today Omar is an underground church planter.

           Easter continues and this is another one of many stories for the season. Of all the miracle experiences I have encountered, resurrection stories remain at the top of the list. Reach out to the risen Christ and you too can become part of the story.

HE HAD NO HOPE OF SURVIVAL UNTI…

            A -9o degree with snow everywhere is bad enough but people in Northern Michigan expect winters to be like that. Scott Peterson and his wife Diane learned early that you have to help anyone who gets stranded because a delay can turn a problem in to a disaster. Stopping to help was simply second nature to him.

            On this particular winter day, a car had spun out on the icy road causing the driver to lose control and veer into a ditch. Scott started helping the driver work his way out of the problem. At that moment, a second car hit the same ice and hurled toward the same ditch. Scott was pinned between the two vehicles!

            Severely injured, Scott’s blood went everywhere. Everyone could see that he was losing blood at a frightening pace and could kill him. An ambulance rushed him to the nearest hospital in hopes of stabilizing his condition. As the doctors rushed to his assistance, they quickly discovered that the femoral artery had been severed. This critical vein carried blood to the lower half of Scott’s body.

            Given thirty-two units of blood, the doctors told the family that Scott only had twenty-four hours to live. The family prayed with everything they had in them.

            Scott was life-flighted to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor. Operation after operation were performed. Both his leg and life looked hopeless. With the massive amount of lost blood and tissue damage, Scott was still not expected to live. The doctors advised Diane that the best hope would be an amputation.

            Diane had a different frame of mind. She had read Andrew Womack’s Harnessing Your Emotions, Christian Survival Kit that proclaims God’s unconditional love. Diane had learned that God’s grace was always sufficient. Even when she didn’t have the strength or patience, she had learned that God’s grace would provide had she lacked. Diane hung on.

            Six days later Scott regained consciousness. Unfortunately, the next day during a surgery, he aspirated. Once again, Diane was told there was no hope of recovery. He was in a coma for another nine days.

            But where was Scott?

            When he became conscious again, Scott reported that during the comma, he had been in the presence of the Lord. He said, “When I saw Him, I realized how much he loves me. I was very happy to see him, but he was even happier to see me. I knew I was totally accepted.”

            Is that not amazing?’ 

            The realization during the comma helped speed up Scott’s recovery. Today, he walks on two healthy legs. The doctors were amazed.

            Just a reminder to never doubt the unconditional love of God. Don’t forget. Miracles never cease!

My latest book has just now been released. You’ll find it fascinating!

The almost unknown account of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s involvement in a number of attempts to assassinate Adolph Hitler remains one of the extraordinary stories of World War II. A towering theologian and patriot, Bonhoeffer did not retreat from joining the fight to stop the Nazis. In these pages you will discover an explosive adventure that remains an ultimate witness to the truth.


          After his capture, his fiancé Maria von Wedemeyer, never gave up attempting to find him and stand with him. In later years, Maria was to become the leading scientist with the Remington Rand Corporation, pioneering the way for the modern computer.
           My interview with Bonhoeffer’s godson, Christop Von Dohnanyi, sheds more light on who Bonhoeffer was and what he accomplished. You will find this thoroughly researched though novelized story of Bonhoeffer’s involvement in WWII to be gripping and compelling.

            The book is available in kindle and paperback on Amazon.

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.

SHE DIDN’T BELIEVE UNTIL …

            Context can certainly make the difference. Many, many people have no expectation that God cares. Once they cross that line, often even to their surprise, things happen. Let’s add another element. Sometimes divine interventions take time. We must remember that no response is a divine delay for reasons that often we cannot grasp. Don’t doubt when you have to wait. Cassaundra Siegersma’s experience is an example.

            Cassundra had grown up with some erroneous ideas about how the Holy Spirit intervenes. Having been diagnosed with Hashimoto’s disease, she struggled with sleep apnea, asthma, and fibromyalgia. If that wasn’t enough, two herniated disks resulted in two back surgeries. These problems caused her to sleep all day and not at night. Trying to make ends meet, her husband worked three jobs to pay for Cassandra’s problems, but bankruptcy loomed before them.

            Needing a break, Cassandra accepted an invitation to attend a spiritual conference in Colorado Springs. She came with some hesitancy about the speaker but quickly recognized that the teacher basically quoted the Bible. Cassandra couldn’t argue with that! Since scripture was true, what she was hearing had to be true. Finally, Cassandra went forward to have intercessors pray over her problems.

            She returned to the hotel room and made a definite decision to trust that the Holy Spirit had done something definite in her life. Cassandra would believe regardless of what followed.

Two weeks later her resolution proved true.

            As she was trying to sleep, Cassandra felt a sensation on her toes. She thought her husband probably wanted her to take him to work but when she looked no one was there. She had received a touch from God. Cassandra knew the sensation was real. Within five minutes she was asleep better than she had in years.

            When she awoke, Cassandra knew she was in a new place. She had received a gift and believed God wants everyone to have the same. Today Cassandra proclaims no matter what the problem might be, the Cross is the answer. What happened on the Cross is bigger than any problem we could ever have.

            Today she declares, “Let God be your refuge and your fortress, your delivery, and a very present help in time of need. He will meet you wherever you are.”

            Cassandra lives in this context. You might pause and give some thought about the context that surrounds you. One of anticipating God to act on your behalf? One of expectancy? Sometimes you have to wait? No problem. Cassandra will tell you about the difference your expectations can make. Faith opens to door  to the Divine context.                       

Don’t forget. 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.

HE HAD ONE PERCENT CHANCE TO LIVE BUT…

            Miracles sometimes come instantly, sometimes gradually, and sometime over a much longer period of time, but prayer seems to have everything to do with the pace. Prayer is certainly not waking God up, but rather accessing the holy power that waits to come from eternity. As people pray… and continue to pray …like flowers gradually coming up in the Spring … slowly but surely fruition unfolds. This past week the Reynold family told me their story of what happened to them.

            Dan Reynolds was playing catcher in a softball game when the hard, flying ball struck him square in the chest near where his heart was located.  While Dan lay unconscious, players and observers ran to help. Although he wasn’t breathing, a nurse from the stands insisted they must pump his chest and keep him breathing until an ambulance arrived to take him to Texas Presbyterian Hospital. For eight days, Dan Reynolds lay in ICU unconscious. Finally, surgery inserted a metal plate. However, the doctor came out shaking his head and looking grim. “At best, Dan has a one percent chance of survival.”

            Janet was told she would probably have to pull the plug. Because of the injury, the doctors suggested a hole would have to be cut in his stomach to feed him through a tube for as long as he lived. His wife Janet had been praying in faith and did not stop. She called on the people in Central Church, Plano, Texas to join her. To the surprise of the surgeon, Dan did not die.  After eight days, he surprised them by wiggling his toes. Janet kept praying.

            Because of the injury, Dan had to write on a white board to communicate. When he was taken to Baylor Rehabilitation, the staff had reservations about his ability to endure. Janet kept praying. Central Church kept praying. What the medical community said couldn’t happen, did. Dan kept making progress. Dan said to me, “Why didn’t I die? Thousands of people continued to pray in faith for me.”

            From the beginning, there had been a concern that Dan Reynolds’ mind would be gone if he ever woke up at all. Of course, that prognosis was given before Janet and the congregation at Central Church began praying. When he finally opened his eyes, Dan’s mind was perfect.

            His response? “Thanks to God and your prayers my current status is that I am with a walking stick and have gone as far as ¾ of a mile. I climb stairs … and am slowly developing stamina and strength.”

            Dan Reynolds had a l-o-o-n-g stretched miracle and Janet never quit praying. Note: praying by and with faith. The foregoing is only a sample of the divine interventions that happened along the way. But his story makes the point: Miracles never cease!

THE ATTACKS COULDN’T BE STOPPED UNTIL

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 ATTACKS COULDN’T BE STOPPED UNTIL…

            Ever wonder where attacks by the virus that infected you came from? They are certainly invisible. You can’t see Covid or the flue dropping in on you. Viruses seem to originate out of nowhere. At the risk of sounding primitive or from a medieval world, our work in Africa has raised questions about where some illnesses and pains originate. Could it be that in addition to unseen bacteria and virus, there might be an additional cause? An evil source?

            This past week my wife and I were having supper with our friends Charlie and Diana Waters. As we discussed how the intervention of the Holy Spirit occurs, Diana shared her personal experience. A deeply spiritual person, she had been dealing with multiple areas of pain across her body for over two years. Nothing had brought relief.

            Diana read a book by Rebecca Brown, M.D., entitled Came to Set Captives Free. While a medical doctor, the author had discovered an unexpected source of pain and relief by studying the Bible.  Dr. Brown found the biblical injunction to anoint with oil and pray over a physical problem did have powerful potential. Diana was impressed and felt she should try the same.

            Retiring to her bathroom, Diana brought in a bottle of olive oil and began to pray. As Dr. Brown described, she began anointing her arms, her back, her legs, all over her body where it hurt with the olive oil as she prayed. Finally, Diana decided she had covered every painful area, but she was dripping with oil. The only logical next step was to take a shower and get the oil off.

            As she started to step in the shower, she realized one of the major pains had vanished. As the water ran down, other sore areas simply disappeared. Diana kept discovering additional areas of discomfort were vanishing. Within five minutes, the struggle of the last two years was completely gone. … And those pains never came back!

            Diana Waters is a Clinical Psychologist and understands how the mind works. She is not naïve or uninformed. Her healing was far beyond any mental capacity that she might exercise. Being faithful to scripture, anointing with oil, and praying had liberated her from excruciating pain.

            Charlie came home later in the day. When he walked in the bedroom, he immediately sensed  the fragrance of roses. The distinct scent of roses remained even though there were none in the house. A sure and unusual signature of the visitation of the Divine.

            James 5:14 admonishes the first Christians to “anoint with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord raise him up.”  Is that true? Diana demonstrates it is. Could this be true for you? Absolutely.

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.

NOTHING WORKED UNTIL

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.

            A hospice in Oxnard, California 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 for more than a short time. 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 priest 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. What had occurred?

            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 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 mission of the Church has always been to bring people into a relationship with the heavenly Father that 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. Reach out. The hand of God is already extended.
