Blog 23 January 16, 2017 MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Robert Wise explores the world of Divine intervention from an objective point of view. Can 21st Century people believe that the hand of God touches people in today’s world? Read and you’ll find new insights.

BUT BEFORE WE BEGIN… On this Wednesday, Jan. 18,10:00 a.m. I begin a new weekly radio broadcast over the internet AND there’s been a change of address: The correct one is www.blogtalkradio.com/miraclesnow TUNE IN ON THE INTERNET

I have a ton of material that doesn’t fit the current blog format and I want to talk more extensively about what I’ve discovered. You will be fascinated!

All you have to do is turn on your internet with speakers and click on the above address. You don’t have to listen at 10:00 a.m. Pick out an hour that fits your schedule and you can at any time pick up my new radio show – MIRACLES NEVER CEASE.

Each week the programs will be available at any time you click on.

Why am I doing this? As I wrote in the first blog, my goal is to challenge people to become open to the spiritual dimension that exists around them. In today’s world, the vast majority of the population simply don’t know that an encounter with God is possible. The truth is that the Holy Spirit is available to anyone who will allow Him to speak to them.

I’ve met many people who are outside the church who experienced these encounters with power, truth, and light. Being outside the church community has nothing to do with the availability of God’s power.

I will be sharing what I have learned as I talked with a multitude of people who experience divine interventions. Their stories will inspire, challenge, and intrigue you. Some church groups claim that miraculous encounters ended with the death of the last Apostle John. Unfortunately, they simply don’t know church history. Divine interventions that brought healing, renewal, recovery, hope, and direction never stopped. Tune in and listen to what I’ve found to be true.

If you have questions you would like for me to address or subjects you’d like discussed, send them to me at miraclesnow2017@gmail.com. I hope to hear from you.

So sit back, turn up the volume and get ready for important discoveries!

The New Years is already swirling along! And we need all the encouragement we can find. Sometimes angelic guidance breaks through in ways that we would never expect Here’s an experience of extraordinary help.

Rita Jester knows all about pain. Her son David was killed in a car wreck. An oncoming car swerved across two lanes and hit him head on. David’s death destroyed Rita’s faith. Her anguish was almost too great to bear.

Rita struggled to keep going and finally decided that she would take the matter to court. Lawyers were found that could help file a suit and the legal scenario began to play out. Finally, the day came for her to meet with the attorney and decide what would happen in court. Rita felt confused and wasn’t sure that she should even proceed. In the flow of the conversation, the lawyer told Rita that during the trial it would be necessary for her to see gruesome pictures of her dead son.

How could she do such a thing? Rita struggled in even thinking about the car wreck, much less seeing the pictures. No. NO! She couldn’t even imagine such a thing! Under her breath, she began crying out, “David! David! Wherever you are! Please help me.”

Before she could go forward she needed some sign of David’s approval, but, of course, he was gone. Suddenly, her cell phone rang. Rita glanced at the identification window. How could it be that someone would call? She had an unlisted number that no one could obtain. Leslie Draper was calling.

Leslie is a personal counselor with an unusual ability to communicate with angels. She often helps people by conveying what angels tell her for them. She had been driving down the highway when an unknown phone number kept running through her mind. She had no idea what it meant, but when such occurrences happened, she always knew it was important to jot the number down. She pulled over to write it down. An angel began to whisper in her ear. “Call this number and tell the person who answers that David says to cancel everything.”

Leslie had no idea what all of this meant or who she was calling, but she knew she must try. She dialed the number. Rita answered. Leslie conveyed the message that she did not personally understand.

Rita was overwhelmed! She immediately cancelled the lawsuit. The angel’s message lifted her out of the emotional struggle and brought reassurance. Rita’s faith was recovered. Her faith had been restored. She had the direction she needed.

A SURPRISE IN THE SKY

I have known Mike and Beth Owen for 25 years. We have worked together, socialized, debated ideas, and watched their children grow up. When we are both in town, Mike and I have lunch together every Tuesday and they remain our best friends. Much of what I report in these blogs comes from personal observation. They shared an experience that has important insights for us.

Beth’s first angelic encounter came when she was fifteen-years-old and her aunt Barbara was dying. The family had already felt the impact of the death of her mother’s brother as well as two sisters and now another sister stood at death’s door. After an urgent phone call, Beth and her mother rushed to the hospital. As they stepped out of the elevator door, the announcement of a “Code Red” rang down the hall. Attendants rushed passed them but they were too late. Aunt Barbara was gone.

As they were leaving the hospital, Beth and her mother were standing at the street corner when Beth looked up. To her astonishment, she saw two massive white angels hovering above them. The angels stood on each side of Barbara.

Beth exclaimed, “Look, Mom! They’ve come to take Barbara home!”

Taller than the city street light, Beth could see the massive size of their waist, legs, and feet as they ascended vertical upward. As they disappeared out of sight, Beth knew her understanding of God’s loving care was forever changed. The comfort of an all comprehensive peace settled over them.

These early experiences caused Michael and Beth to anticipate divine interventions in their ministries. They were conditioned to expect far more than simply sharing theological answers and teaching the faith. Their ministries have encompassed a number of miraculous events.

While it would be jarring for many people to expect the Holy Spirit to take them to an entirely new realm of experience, the Owens would say that’s the best place to encounter the miraculous. Mike and Beth discovered an interesting axiom about the work of the Holy Spirit and divine intervention. When one receives a spiritual gift, it is important to use it. If not, the gift diminishes and can virtually disappear. On the other hand, the use of a gift often opens the door to the reception of other gifts. The same is true for miraculous encounters. The Holy Spirit works consistently in this way.

Hey! Coming in January! Blog talk radio. We’ll be talk to talk together!

SURPRISING CHANGE

Generally people form their expectations of what God can do and does from what they’ve read in the Bible —only. For example, if a healing doesn’t occur instantly, they decide prayer doesn’t work. If Welch’s grape juice doesn’t become Gallo wine, they are discouraged. Let’s be clear, there’s no problem with what is in the Bible, but the stories must be seen as examples of a starting point and not a finish line.

We must add continuing human experience and consider the Bible as a spring board. The scriptures call us to open our eyes and hearts to greater expectations. Charlotte had such an experience.

In August, 2012, Charlotte had a total knee replacement. She knew it was coming and had put it off too long. Of course, knee replacements can be painful and Charlotte struggled. She knew about Leslie Draper and her ministry that stemmed from contact with the angels. Some people might consider that approach on the bizarre side, but Charlotte needed help. And Leslie was anything but bizarre.

From years of working with human need, Leslie had learned how to listen to angels. She silently turned to them to hear their direction for what should happen next. In Charlotte’s case, the direction was for an “energy healing.” Interesting indeed.

Angelic direction suggested that the problem was that Charlotte’s body was treating the knee replacement as a foreign object and attempting to reject the intrusion. The body’s resources were focused on getting rid of the artificial knee rather than embracing it.

Leslie came and prayed for a shift in the body’s energy. Her prayers and ministry were aimed at bringing the knee into harmony with the body. The sessions were aimed at restoring concord in Charlotte’s entire system.

Thirteen days after the surgery, the doctor took the staples out. To his shock, there was little swelling. Healing was far better than he expected. The next step was the physical therapist doing a knee flexion measurement on the knee. He, too, was shocked and surprised. The therapist told Charlotte that in two to three months the goal was a measurement of 120 degrees. In three weeks, Charlotte measured 128 degrees.

Charlotte had a miracle.

It wasn’t walking on water – but it was walking across her living room with no pain. The heavenly Father cares about such things. Expect Him to care for you – without defining how, when, and where His response will come.

TAPPING INTO LIFE

Following a slim victory by Oklahoma State University, football head coach Mike Gundy explained the achievement by saying, “the mind is the most important part of the body.” He believed what surges through the head is more powerful than what runs through the muscles. Very interesting.

I would add that what keeps everyone functioning is more than just positive thinking. Lose a desire to live and you soon die. With an absolute commitment to life, you can recover. Life is far more than just keeping on being mobile. The dictionary defines life as a “principle or force.” Coach Gundy tapped into this idea when he suggested that the team had a mindset that motivated them to win.

In my search to understand miracles, I’ve discovered that the invisible force called “life” is a vital part of what renews, regenerates, and revitalizes people. No matter how ill one might be, what’s in the mind still tops the list for a means of recovery.

Reclaiming “life” can be one of the most important ingredients in a divine intervention.

Some years ago, I was called to the hospital because my dear friend and parishioner Jim was critically ill. The doctor attempted to remove his gall bladder cystoscopicaly but left tissue behind that had produced a deadly illness. When I entered the room, a sense of death hung in the air. I sensed that life was draining out of this man’s system. He was slipping away.

My wife and I began to pray for his recovery. In particular, I placed my hands on Jim and asked the Holy Spirit to pour “life” into Jim. Often when we pray for life, the power begins to flow through us just as electricity comes down a wire into our house. That night in the hospital, we became conductors in much the same way that wire is a transmitter of power.

Do I understand what I am describing? No, not really. Over the years, I’ve asked many medical doctors to define life. What is it? I’m still waiting for a definitive answer. They can tell me what death is – but not life!

I’ve come to the conclusion that life is the possession of God and comes from him alone. Science fiction aside, we cannot create life – but we can convey it through praying.

As my wife and I prayed for Jim, the atmosphere in the room began to change. The extreme pain in Jim’s side subsided. His color improved. We kept praying. Over the next few days, he steadily improved and was soon released. Jim recovered.

A divine intervention? Definitely. The Holy Spirit used us as a connection and poured renewed life into Jim. Can I prove it? No. I can only answer, “he was dying and is now alive.”

Think about it. You might be able to become a conductor of life.

WHAT DO MIRACLES TELL US?

During the past sixteen weeks, I have been describing and relating miraculous events. How do we understand such occurrences? What can you take away from these stories.

The context for insight is in the scripture. Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with these amazing occasions. More importantly, the Bible gives us a larger picture for our understanding. As I talked with people who I considered legitimate, I’ve found that their “happenings” fit a biblical category that explains why miracles occur.

The Old Testament tells us that a miracle is a sign. The Greek word σήμεoν suggests that events like Moses’s struggle with Pharaoh, crossing the Red Sea (the Sea of Reeds), the Exodus itself, were all signs of the reality of God. This Greek word is used 73 times in the New Testament as well. We find it ten times in Matthew, 23 in Mark, 10 in Luke, 24 times in John, and 13 signs in the Book of Acts. Miracles were a sign.

In the New Testament, the birth of the Messiah came with a total uniqueness. When the shepherds came running to see the baby, their appearance was a sign to Mary. In John’s Gospel, miracles are messianic. Whether it be turning water into wine at Cana, or feeding the multitude, John made it clear that what Jesus accomplished was a sign that he was the Messiah they had been seeking.

In all of these instances, the event told observers that the intervention was not an ordinary act of nature, but a sign of the presence of God. Beyond the influence of man, the events came from God and put a new responsibility on the observer. These signs kept pointing beyond themselves to the One who was the true source of life.

Let us be clear: A sign is not a miracle, but a miracle is a sign. There are many signs throughout scripture that were not always understood by observers. However, when an authentic miracle occurred, it was a sign that pointed beyond the miraculous experience to the transcendent God.

This recognition of the miracle as a sign does not end with the Gospel’s story. The Book of Acts demonstrates that the Apostles’ ministries were filled with the miraculous. Acts 4:16 and 22 relates that the unbelieving Jewish leaders even recognized that the works of the Apostles were “signs.” The Sanhedrin feared that the these signs would establish faith. A miracle is a sign of God’s transcendent presence and power. Miracles confront us with the reality of God the Father working in our midst.

Don’t be afraid to buy in! A good God makes good things happen.
