SHE WAS COMPLETELY BLIND UNTIL….

            Ever pray when you were so overwhelmed you couldn’t find the right words? You weren’t sure what to say?

            A friend helped me discover a portion of the answer. I’ve known Richard Hogue for decades. Richard has been one of the foremost evangelists in America, featured on television with important appearances as well as founding a number of congregations.

            Early in his career, Richard was invited to go to India with a team who took the long journey to help people in need. After the airplane landed, Richard saw nationals in terrible physical stress. Blind, crippled, deformed, emaciated; everywhere he looked Richard saw the horror of people in serious condition.

            As he and a fellow minister approached a crippled man, the friend started to pray, “I give you what I have, in the name of Jesus Christ…” The minister stopped. As an Evangelical, he wasn’t sure he could finish the passage from the Book of Acts, and say, “stand up and walk.” Both men were overwhelmed by the brokenness of what they were seeing.

            That night Richard moved into a primitive setting that could hold maybe 5,000 people sitting on mats. Everywhere Richard looked, he saw people in serious physical upheavals. The sight became overwhelming. As he uttered a prayer, Richard heard the voice of Jesus say virtually audibly, “Pray for the sick!”

            While he had felt inspiration many times, never had he heard such a command so clearly. Richard suddenly changed the direction he had planned for the evening and called out for prayer for anyone who needed healing. Using an interpreter, he called for people requiring restoration to come forward, expecting a mass of people would stand in front of him for group intercession. To his surprise, people started lining up in front of him one by one.

            Richard looked down. A mother brought her daughter forward. The child had empty eye sockets with only some tissue that looked like tiny buds. Beyond that extremely small tissue, there was only emptiness.

            A thought flashed through Richard’s mind. “Lord, you got to be kidding!”

            The mother held up the child and looked at him with pleading eyes. Richard turned to the interpreter and said “Don’t interpret what I’m about to pray.” The man nodded. Closing his eyes, Richard cried out, “Lord, this is beyond me. I don’t have the faith to do this.  I claim the faith of Jesus!”

            He opened his eyes. The child was looking back at him with beautiful brown eyes. Richard was shocked.  The little girl was healed.

            As the mother began to weep, Richard broke down. The team around him began to weep. The little girl was healed.

            When you don’t know how to pray you can do the same. Claim the faith of Jesus.

            Remember: The little girl was healed. Miracles never cease!

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

AFTER DEATH THEY FOUND….

I have a major movie for you to see at your local theater! My daughter and her husband took me to see After Death, a scientific exploration of Near-Death-Experiences with the stories of professional people who encountered the beyond and came back. The scientific data is a confirmation of what I’ve been writing about for years.

 The movie is more like a documentary as doctors, scientist, and home folks witness to what they experienced. After coming back from death, they tell one story. Love is the answer the world needs. After you’ve seen the picture, you’ll want to share it with others.

 As I was discussing the movie with a friend, she suddenly began to tell me how her grandmother from a little Oklahoma town of Arnett had the same experience. When asked why she didn’t share her extraordinary journey into eternity, the grandmother whispered, “I was afraid people would think I was off my rocker!”

            The movie repeats this theme. More people that you would imagine had after-life discoveries. They didn’t talk about it because they weren’t sure how others would accept them. This movie will help break that barrier.

            These Near-Death-Experiences confirm that God’s world is waiting for people. In my book Crossing the Threshold of Eternity, I document many of such stories. Here’s an example.

            One of the last survivors of World War I, Jack Oscar was 106 when he shared the story of the first man he saw die in that war. His company had shipped out of the White Cliffs of Dover and landed in France. As he plunged into the war, the frightening explosions of combat were overwhelming. Bombs errupted everywhere around him.

            His buddy had started to run up a hill when German machine guns opened up.  The spray of lead tore across his body. The man writhed in pain as his organs broke out of his abdomen.

            “Shoot me!” he screamed at Jack Oscar. “Please take me out of this pain. I can’t take it.”

            Oscar didn’t know what to do, but thought maybe he should shoot the man. The guy’s pain was too awful for anyone to endure.

            Suddenly the soldier stopped screaming. He held up his arms and a broad smile broke across his face. The man softly said one word. “Mother.”

            With the smile on his face, he died peacefully.

            I have a file filled with such stories. There are differences, but they all bare witness to one reality. The love of God is waiting in that other dimension. Take your faith and you can travel across.

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

DISASTER LOOKED INEVITABLE UNTIL ….

            Prayer isn’t about telling God something he’s overlooked or didn’t know about. Neither is interceding a spiritual version of a rabbit’s foot hanging from the sun visor. Rather, prayer is our focusing the energy of our heavenly Father on a particular need.  Interceding is releasing our experience of the love of God to touch a special need. Prayer is opening our heart and soul for the Father to use us in the best way He desires.

            Here’s an example.

            Jacki Carllson has been a friend for decades. Recently Jacki shared an experience that happened to her nine-year old son. Chris developed a serious stomachache and had to be put to bed. When nothing improved, Chris was rushed to the hospital. The diagnosis was immediate. He had a bowel obstruction the size of a football and would have to wear a colostomy pouch for at least sometime.

            After the surgery, the doctor’s prognosis was certain. A number of weeks later, another surgery was necessary. Ten inches of his colon would have to be removed as it was twisted. Of course, the removal of intestine from a child could have other serious complication, but nothing else could be done. A section of Chris’s intestine was dead.

            Jacki began calling everyone she knew to pray. A teams of intercessors gathered around Chris’s bed to petition their heavenly Father. People with a gift of intercession prayed fervently. As Jacki studied the Bible for answers, she had a growing sense that something important was happening to Chris. Jacki kept praying

            When the day for the surgery arrived, Jacki met the doctor in the hall. “I am expecting a miracle today,” Jacki said dogmatically.

            The doctor smiled as if placating her and walked away. Jacki watched him disappear behind closed doors and settled into the waiting room for the long operation to be finished.

            More quickly than was expected, the doctor came out of the surgical area shaking his head. “Never seen anything like it,” he said. “Can’t believe it.”

            The twisted intestine had straightened by itself and regenerated. The dead tissue was healthy and normal. He didn’t have to remove anything.

            The doctor concluded, “You got your miracle!”

            Today Chris is a grown man. Does prayer work? He’s a living example that it does. Got a need? Prayer can make all the difference.

            Remember: Miracles never cease!

ANGELIC INTERVENTIONS SAVE THE DAY!

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.

ANGELIC INTERVENTIONS SAVE THE DAY!

            Americans believe in angels!  Along with convictions about heaven and prayer, 67% of the entire population believe in angels. Of those with a religious affiliation, 84% believe in the angelic realm. You’re in a popular crowd if you affirm the same.

            As I wander around the countryside picking up experiences of divine intervention, I often run into people who have had encounters with angels – which is certainly miraculous. Recently, I ran into a story about an encounter that happened to Sarah Loutner in Springfield, Tennessee. Today, Sarah Loutner is a dancer and performs routines with a Christian message. At the time, Sarah was only a small child.           

            The Loutner family lived in an old two-story farm house. Like any older house that had been built years before, the staircase was steep. As was the custom in by-gone days, the stairs angled up partway to a landing, then turned 90 degrees before going up the rest of the way to the top. Sarah had a special place upstairs where she played with her toys. On this afternoon, she tired of playing with the dolls and wondered what her mother might be doing. Probably, she was down in the kitchen where cookies might be waiting. Sarah pushed the playthings aside and hurried toward the steps.

            Pre-occupied in thinking about where her mother might be, Sarah didn’t pay attention to the abruptly sloping stairs. Her feet got tangled up, and Sarah fell head first down the plunging steps.

            Like a scene in a slow-motion movie, Sarah discovered a figure standing on the landing. The man towered above the steps. Big and powerful, he appeared to be surrounded by a shimmering glow. The light swirled around him and Sarah immediately felt reassurance that she didn’t have to be afraid.

            To her total surprise, Sarah realized that she was not falling, but seemed to be floating toward the unknown figure on the landing.  Unseen hands carryied her downward until finally her feet landed gently on the floor. She knew that an angel had intervened to save her.

            When she looked up, the angel was gone. Sarah ran to tell her mother what had happened. She listened, but Sarah distinctly felt she didn’t believe her. Years later, when Sarah, her brother Aaron, and her mother got off on the subject of angels, Sarah recounted the experience. This time her mother was convinced a guardian angel had indeed intervened, but wasn’t sure why an angel would have secured her.

            Sarah’s brother Aaron immediately added, “You’re a dancer! You were caught so you could dance for God.”

            Just thinking about her brother’s response, makes Sarah want to dance today. You also have a guardian angel. No matter what you are struggling with, just thinking about that protection might do the same for you!

Remember. Miracles never cease.

DREAMS? WHEN THE FIGURE APPEARED…

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.

DREAMS? WHEN THE FIGURE APPEARED…

            Last week, I wrote about the figure of Jesus the Christ appearing in the dreams of Muslims. Many people wanted to know more about these occurrences. One of the people I mentioned was Tom Doyle. His book Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World? (Thomas Nelson) describes these experiences in detail. You will find his observations fascinating.

            Working as a missionary for over five years, Doyle was initially skeptical but began hearing over and over about Muslims having dreams and visions of Jesus. One woman claimed a vision of the curtains she should buy for her 10,000 square-foot house. Doyle just didn’t believe God operated like that. He discovered he was wrong.

            As he listened to many people, Doyle realized that God rescues people in ways that more conservative people like Tom weren’t use to recognizing. An Egyptian named Hassan helped change his mind.

            Having become a believer, Hassan tried to share his faith without being found out in a city hostile to the Christian faith, but his personal story leaked out. He was waking up one morning when he felt the muzzle of a gun in his face.

            “Don’t say a word,” the kidnapper said. “Get up and come with me.”

            As Hassan stumbled through the darkness, he could feel the gun in his back. Hassan was sure he was on his way to an execution. His kidnapper forced him into an old warehouse. Hassan was certain he would not see the light of day again. As he walked along, the young man whispered, “Jesus, into Your hands I commit my spirit.”

            Hassan was forced into a foreboding room lit by only one single candle. The dim light revealed ten Muslim men circling him and ordering him to sit down. They stared at him.

            Finally, the kidnapper spoke. “We are all imams who studied at Al-Azhar University. During that time, each of us had a dream about Jesus and each of us has privately become a follower of Christ. We each prayed to know what this means and He has brought us together. Now we meet three times a week in secret to better know how to follow him. He led us to you.”

            The gun, the kidnapping had all been a ruse to avoid being caught in a Muslim city where great danger would have followed. The meeting concluded with one question. “Will you teach us the Bible.”

            All because of dreams.                     

            And you? Listen to your dreams. You may be surprised by what you discover.           

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

OUT OF THEIR DREAMS APPEARED …

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.

OUT OF THEIR DREAMS APPEARED …

            As the attacks on Israel unfold, the Middle East erupts in fire. In the midst of the chaos, we must remember that Jesus was a Jew and Christianity grew out of Judaism. One wonders where the Hand of God is in this current war. It may surprise you to learn that in the last couple of decades more Muslims have become Christians than in the previous 1400 years. The cause? Supernatural visions and dreams.

            This means that the miraculous appearances of Jesus Christ remain one of the most significant spiritual awakenings in the world today. Here’s some examples.

            Living in Jerusalem, Rami had been a fervent Muslim before he started to dream about Jesus. Out of nowhere arose these vibrant appearances. His dreams were not vague, but bright and completely focused when Jesus appeared in a white robe. In his dream, Rami went over and embraced Jesus. When he awoke, Rami made decisions that changed his life.

            Of course, the Bible is filled with stories of God speaking through dreams.  In the Old Testament Jacob’s dream ladder in the night is such an encounter. (Genesis 28:10-16)  The New Testament starts with Joseph’s dream instructing him to take the baby Jesus and Mary to Egypt. (Matthew 2:13-14). Dreams have been one of the ways God speaks to humanity.

            Tom Doyle worked as a Christian in Cairo. As he was walking through the crowded market place, a Muslim woman started yelling, “You’re the one! You’re the one!” Noor pushed through the crowd toward Tom. “You were in my dream last night. Those clothes—you wearing the clothes. For sure it was you!”

            Noor explained that Doyle was in her dream when Jesus appeared. He walked with her beside a lake and told her how much he loved her. The woman had never experienced such love and peace in her life. As Jesus prepared to leave, he told her to find Tom Doyle the next day and he would explain what she needed to know about why Jesus visited her in her sleep. Jesus told her that Tom Doyle would be wearing the exact clothes he now had on. That was how she recognized him in the crowded marketplace.

            Noor responded, “For the first time in my life, I felt no shame. … I felt perfect peace.” The encounter completely came in a dream.

            On Pentecost, Peter predicted, “Your young men shall see visions and your old men dream dreams. (Acts 2:17) These visions and dreams continue to happen.

            In the mist of Israel’s war with Hamas, terrible things will follow. People will be killed. Nevertheless, our Heavenly Father is not silent. Even in the dark of night, God continues to speak.

            And you? Listen to your dreams. You may be surprised by what you discover.           

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

THE SKY OPENED AND …

            We were discussing miraculous events when Barbara Yates eyes lit up. “I’d almost forgotten what happened to a friend of mine,” she said. “Jody Hubbard lives in Denver and her experience happened in the Fort. Logan cemetery West of the city. I’ll never forget the moment.”

            I listened as Barbara described how years earlier her friend had the amazing experience that imparted a vibrant faith. Jody Hubbard had been born with “a lazy eye” problem. As time progressed, the eye problem deteriorated. When her eye sight suddenly vanished, Jody was rushed to the hospital emergency room. The doctor diagnosed a macular hemorrhage. In his many years of practice, he had only one patient regain their vision. Jody was given a negative prognosis.

            Jody Hubbard began to pray. Two and a half years later, to the surprise of the doctor, her sight simply returned! Jody knew she had experienced a miracle and developed a faith in what was possible.

            Years later Jody’s husband Bud Hubbard developed ALS (Lou Gehrig’s Disease) and passed away. During the time she tried to help him, even though Jody learned patience, time still took its toll. Days after the burial in the Ft. Logan military cemetery, Jody and Barbara returned to the grave site. Jody came with a sense of urgency about needing to visit the cemetery. Her love for Bud had been so deep, she needed to stand there again.  The two women walked over to the grave and stood silently for several moments. Knowing how emotional this was for her friend, for privacy sake Barbara walked away to leave Jody standing by the grave weeping.

            Even though she was standing some distance away, Barbara could hear Jody began to cry out.  “Bud, I need to know if you are alright! Please! I need to hear from you. Are you okay?”

            To her amazement, the clouds begin to move into an unexpected formation. Carefully, the haze shifted into a clear shape. To Jody’s astonishment, the form was exactly that of an angel with wings.

            “Barbara! Can you see the sky? What do you see?”

            “Good heavens! That’s an angel!” Barbara cried out.

            As the two women looked, a band of colors like a rainbow began to form above the angel. Jody had her answer.

            When Barbara Yates first told me this story, she said, “I would never have believed if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes. The clouds formed a perfect angel.

            Jody Hubbard’s experience reminded me that there is no end to what the hand of God can provide. Regardless of the need, when any problem touches your heart, the eye of God is watching.

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

THE DISASTER TURNED INTO A …

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

THE DISASTER TURNED INTO A …

            Recently I was talking with my friend Penny Randell. As author, Penny dearly loves the continent of Africa and has often traveled there, venturing into the darkest jungle and places where most Americans wouldn’t go.  On one occasion, Penny ventured into the jungle habitat of gorillas. One of the females walked over to her and touched her hand. That stuck me as almost qualifying for a miracle story. Through the years, Penny developed an interest in angels and came to talk about what my encounters with inspired persons had taught me.

            I shared with her a statement from Normandi Ellis’s book The Ancient Tradition of Angels (Bear and Company publishers). This highly informative work details the history of what has been written about angels through the centuries. At one point he writes, “Angels can take whatever form they wish. When the occasion warrants, they may appear as humans.” The quote sparked Penny’s memory and she told me about one of her many experiences in Africa.

            While driving through the back country on dirt roads in Kenya, Penny hit a deep hole. The severe jolt stopped the car. When Penny got out, she discovered the motor had broken loose and was now sitting in that depression. The motor had dropped out of the car!

            I am not a mechanic, but I can envision how unusual a detachment of the engine from the transmission must be! Fixing it on a remote road sounded impossible. Certainly would put the car out of business!

            As Penny sat there desperate on this remote jungle road, she knew travelers seldom came down this stretch. She felt doomed, but being a spiritual person, she began to pray. Suddenly in the rearview mirror, Penny saw a truck load of natives roaring down the road behind her.  Abductions and murders were known to happen in this part of Kenya. Her consternation turned into fear.

            The truck stopped and six black men got out. The leader knocked on her car window. “Need help?” She nodded. He looked under the car and motioned for the other men to join him. They immediately went to work creating a lift with a rope and a crane. The motor lifted up out of the hole and back into the vehicle. The six men started doing something under the hood. Penny couldn’t grasp how anyone could reattach the engine back into the car and make it run out there on that remote road.  However, in an astonishingly short amount of time these men had the motor reattached and the car running.

            Penny explained she would have to get money to pay them in the next town. They declined and said they would follow her to make sure everything was running okay. The car worked fine and Penny started down the road. When she looked back to thank them, the six men and their truck weren’t there. They had simply vanished.

            What happened? Penny Randall is convinced they were angels sent in her hour of desperate need. She now knows angels can take any shape they wish.

            The Apostle told us to be kind to strangers for “some have unwittingly entertained angels.” (Hebrews 13: 2) Here’s a new dimension to your quest to understand the miraculous. Angels may be standing around you right now.

            Remember. Miracles never cease.
