AND THEY WOULD HAVE KILLED HIM BUT…

            Does praying make any difference? Secularists conclude you’re only talking to yourself when you pray. And yet, my files are filled with stories of people praying and extraordinary results followed. The difference is that secularists only know one dimension, the physical world. People of faith live in two worlds: the natural and the supernatural. Prayer connects them to that realm beyond the physical. Results follow.

            You can’t “see” the transcendent, but you can experience moments when the “Beyond” breaks into the here and now. Recently, my childhood friend Bill Beuthel shared such a story with me. We grew up together in the mountains of Colorado and today Bill lives in Denver. His pastor told him this story.

            Jodie Berndt was serving  as a missionary in a field hospital in Africa. To pick up supplies, he had to travel by bicycle for two days, camping at night halfway from home. The next day he traveled to the nearest town where he picked up money and supplies before returning in another two days back to the small field hospital.

            When he arrived in the village, two men were fighting savagely. One man was so seriously injured that the missionary helped the defeated man by dressing his wounds. During his nursing care, Berndt shared the story of his faith and witnessed to the bleeding man. Once he finished bandaging, he started back into the jungle only to return two weeks later. The man he had helped was waiting for him. The native shared that he knew Berndt had been carrying money and medicines. Even though the missionary had helped him, the injured man told him what they had planned to the contrary.

            “We followed you back into the jungle,” the native said. “My friends and I knew you would have to camp overnight. We planned to wait until you went to sleep and then sneak in and kill you, along with stealing the money and medicines. We would have done so, but there were 26 guards surrounding you.”

            Berndt had no idea what he was talking about. He laughed and was certain he was alone in the jungle. “No sir,” the native insisted. “My friends also saw the 26 guards. We were certain you were secure.”

            Later when the missionary shared his story in a church service, a man in the congregation stood up and interrupted, asking if Berndt knew the exact date this occurred. He did. The congregant said, “Travel around the world changes the clock. Night in Africa is day here. On that day, I was moved to call some men in the church to gather with me and pray for your protection. The number who gathered to pray for your safety was exactly 26.”                                   

            Does prayer make a difference? The 26 intercessors can testify that it does.

            Remember miracles never cease!

HOPE WAS GONE UNTIL SHE …

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.

HOPE WAS GONE UNTIL SHE …

Perhaps, you’ve never given much thought as to what occurs in Holy Communion. Some churches view the sacrament as only a memory of the past. We believe in the “Real Presence,” meaning Jesus meant what he said in Mark 14:22-23 “Take eat this is my body.” Many people affirm the fact without appropriating the reality. Jesus Christ can be really present to us. (Of course, that’s miraculous.)

This past week I observed Penny Randall receiving the promise.

I’ve known Penny for a number of years as we are both authors.  Her forthcoming book is about her adventures in Africa. However, she shared with me a chronic problem that could eventually swallow her life in pain if not medically treated. Her ulcerated colon threatened her ongoing well-being. Moreover, a shoulder injury had been medically diagnosed as demanding a shoulder replacement surgery. She wanted to know about angels because fear had been swallowing her emotionally. Penny was crying out for help.

I suggested an alternative. Wearing my priestly attire and stole, we would gather some friends and have Holy Communion, a Eucharist and ask the manifest reality of Jesus Christ to touch Penny’s physical struggles. As she received the elements, she would ask the risen Christ literally to fill her life.

Earlier, I had learned that the Faithful who know Jesus is there in Holy Communion, often don’t appropriate what His presence promises. I instructed Penny to receive the bread and wine and ask the risen Christ to fill her life with Himself and come as a healing presence.  After receiving the elements, I ask Penny to allow the Savior to fill her inner life and restore her body and soul. As she prayed, I silently slipped away and left her house.

On Monday, Penny took a medical exam for the ulcerated colon. The result? The internal medicine doctor found no sign of an ulcerated colon.

Two days later she had an orthopedist examine her shoulder for a replacement. The orthopedist advised her, “Let’s forget about an operation and replacement. Your shoulder is so much better, there’s no reason to do something else.”

The manifest reality of the risen Christ in the sacrament had brought recovery and healing into Penny Randell’s body and life. A miracle? You bet. Could that happen to you. Absolutely. Find a church that believes in the Real Presence in the bread and the wine. As people are being served, ask Jesus to fill you with Himself. Christ in you; you in Christ. It’s just that basic.

THE MIRACLE IN YOUR BACKYARD

Blog 298

July 3, 2023

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 MIRACLE IN YOUR BACKYARD

You have been living in a miracle!

On this July 4th, we would do well to remember one of the greatest miracles that has unfolded in the sweep of history. The record of the past is filled with incidents of cruel despots, treacherous kings, and evil empires. People with varying ideas were persecuted for their diversity. In 1492, Jews were given three days to get out of Spain and the Inquisition began. The stories go on and on until they come to 1776. On that July 4th, the miracle began.

A miracle is by definition an intervention by God. As the Founding Fathers gathered in Philadelphia, they penned a Constitution that declared citizens had God given citizens’ rights. Freedom did not come from political compromise, social agreement, or personal independence. Our rights have been granted to us from the Almighty.

Not everyone remembers that fact. Chaos in the streets often arises because people violently pursue what “they” want. They can do so because this country grants them a God given right to freedom of speech. While there are injustices and prejudices, everyone has access to a fair trial and are presumed innocent until proven guilty. Why? Because the Constitution grants us these “God given” rights.

Does America have faults? Too numerous to name. But in the midst of the inadequacies, we continue on with resilience and determination because so many of our ancestors came here seeking a land where they could worship God as they chose without intervention. No secular interpretation can deny the religious underpinning of this country.

On this July 4th, we can sing “God Bless America,” because He has. Let us rise above our irritations and disagreements and embrace the transcendent reality. This country has been and shall continue to be a miracle. Your backyard remains secure.

THE HAND REACHED OUT AND…

Blog 297

June 26, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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 HAND REACHED OUT AND…

This past week stories about China have filled the news. Secretary Blinken met with his counterpart and President Xi. China has obviously come a long, long way since the revolutionary war with Chairman Mao. But here’s a story you didn’t hear about.

The somewhat underground Christian church is growing at a phenomenal rate. Ninety percent of the rapid growth is fueled by healing miracles. In the countryside where medical facilities are limited, this is particularly true reports Edmond Tang of the University of Birmingham.

I witnessed this with my own eyes.

I was invited to bring a team of Americans involved with healing ministry to Taiwan. We flew in and immediately were put on a train to ride up into the mountains. A service of praise and worship was already underway with the church overflowing and people hanging out the windows. People were everywhere trying to get into the old white worn church building. I was immediately ushered in and asked to preach.

To my astonishment, every word I said had to be translated into Mandarin and then translated again into the dialect of the congregation. The task was arduous and in five minutes I wasn’t even sure what I was saying or thinking. The confusion was the order of the day.

Finally, I told the congregation that I didn’t come to preach, but to pray for them. “Would anyone want to be prayed for?” Nearly the entire church stepped forward. My team was almost ready to run out the back door.

A woman jumped out of a pew holding a little boy maybe six or seven years old. The child swung his arms and legs in slow gyrating spastic movements. In addition to looking intellectually disabled (mental retardation), his eyes did not focus, but appeared to jerk uncontrollably. The mother stopped in front of me and started speaking in some local dialect. I didn’t have a clue what she was saying.

The Holy Spirit seemed to whisper, “Demon possession.”

While I’d heard of such, I’d never seen it. All I could do was remember what the Apostles did in the New Testament.  I put my hand on the child’s head and began casting out whatever was possessing him.

The woman slowly sank to the floor as I prayed with all the passion I had in my being. In about a minute and a half, the boy stopped slapping at the air and slumped. His arms dropped and his legs stopped kicking. I kept praying but could feel his entire body relax. Abruptly, he stood up, smiled, and waved like a normal person. His eyes were steady and normal. He had become a regular little boy.

Years have passed since that afternoon, but two conclusions have stayed. There is evil in the world and people can become trapped in it’s grip. At the same time, the power of the Holy Spirit can correct the problem immediately. We don’t have to be afraid.

Perhaps, in the Western World we don’t encounter this phenomenon as they do in the East. Nevertheless, it remains another sign that God’s power is available to any and all. Remember miracles never cease!

AND THE ANGEL SAID…

Blog 296

June 19, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

AND THE ANGEL SAID…

            This past week’s headlines have been filled with stories of amazing divine intervention. While a miracle tends to be more instantaneous, interventions are more extended encounters with the power of God breaking in. The news reports poured in about four children ranging in age from 13 years to one year old being were found alive 40 days after their small airplane crashed in the Amazon jungle.  The parents were killed in the crash. The phrase repeated over and over was ,”It’s a miracle!” At the same time, the French “backpack hero” fought off a knifeman attacking children in Le Paquier Park. The hiker had been visiting cathedrals to encourage his faith. The only name he would give was Henri, but said his devout faith gave him the courage and the strength to fight off the attacker.

            Divine interventions indeed!

            Here’s another interview to think about. My friend Christy Clark was running a fever of 105 degrees. She took Tylenol and fell asleep without any idea how long she laid there. Pneumonia was dragging her to the bottom. Christy awakened when a glowing angel appeared. The guiding angel lifted her up and Christy looked back on her body still laying on the bed. They passed through the bedroom wall with sparklers of reds, blues, yellows and greens flashing around them.  Christy found herself in a wonderfully peaceful place with other angels. She was ready to stay forever.

            The guiding angel talked with other angelic beings and then told Christy she must go back. Even though Christy resisted, the guiding angel insisted it was not her time yet. She still had lots of work left to do and people to help. Abruptly, Christy returned to her room, looking down on her body. Without any idea how it happened, she was back in her body.

            Christy had heard of near-death experiences, but never expected to have one. Now she realized she had just had the experience. She was left with the conclusion that when her time comes, she’d cross over to the most wonderful place that ever existed. She lives with that assurance today.

            Divine interventions still happening? All the time.

            You can trust your thinking and believing to that fact. Just remember, miracles never cease!

A HEALING LIGHT

A re-Blog of 281

From: February 27, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

Once You been touched then….

I’ve noticed that one miraculous touch leads to another. People who have received a healing experience often are able to pass on healing to someone else in need.  The miraculous begets the miraculous!

Robert Shelton (name is anonymous for privacy sake) made such a discovery. During a farming accident, Robert was caught in a machine that nearly ripped off his arm. The damage to the muscles was extensive, but most of the nerves and major blood vessels stayed intact. Robert was rushed to the hospital with dirt, stones, and debris lodged in his arm. Just getting the rubble out was a major problem. A skilled surgeon finally sewed the arm together.

A Christian, Robert Shelton prayed fervently. Robert’s devout parents prayed constantly. Later. he realized how vital their prayer support had been. Robert knew that prayer had been the key factor in saving his arm, a miraculous event in itself!

As time passed Robert Shelton was increasingly aware that the hand of God had sustained his arm. Robert continued to grow in his faith and eventually had a son.

Little Mark contracted an illness that resulted in a high fever. The situation became serious and Robert really worried about his son.  On an early winter night Robert stood over Mark and knew his boy had a frighteningly high temperature. Robert began praying to Jesus for help. At that moment something started to happen.

Robert felt energy passing from him to his son. He distinctly remembered an energy of light passing through him into Mark. The energy was being released from his arm into Mark.

The next morning the fever and illness were gone. Like a chain reaction, the results of one miracle were passed on to another. Don’t be hesitant about “sharing” your healing and renewal with someone in need. Remember one good thing begets another.

And also remember miracles never cease!

HIS HEART STOPPED AND…

Blog 294

June 5,2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

HIS HEART STOPPED AND…

            Several years ago, I described Ron Carte’s extraordinary encounter with eternity. A week or so I talked with Ron and felt you’d want to hear his story again. Ron lives not far from me in Edmond, Oklahoma where he once oversaw several banks. He had switched to involvement in a construction company and was on his way to the office when his heart stopped and the extraordinary journey began.

            The heart stoppage caused him to veer off the street and crash into a tree. Ron passed out, but when he became conscious, he could smell gasoline. The emergency crew had arrived on the scene and began pulling him through the smashed car window. Ron was rushed to the Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City.

            Immediately taken into the operating room, the doctor began the procedure to implant a pace maker. Unfortunately, the physician placed the small wire in the wrong vein, resulting in a massive stroke.

            The medical machine monitoring his heart beat dropped to a zero.  Ron was dead.

            But where was he?

            Ron was walking through a garden that he surmised must be in heaven. Walking down a cobblestone path, he saw a figure standing by the gate at the end of the garden. The man had shoulder length hair and was wearing a robe.  Ron called to him. “Hey, Buddy, where am I?”

            The man said, “Ronnie, don’t worry. I am here.”

            No one had called him Ronnie except his mother.

            “Take my hand,” the man said.

            Instantly all pain vanished. Ron’s heart trouble ceased. Extraordinary peace flooded over him.

            “Can I stay here?” Ron asked. Never had he experienced such tranquility.

            “It’s not your time,” Jesus said.  “You’ve got to go back and tell everyone what you’ve seen. Gather your children and grandchildren around. Don’t worry about the details. I will send my knowledge to you through the Bible.”

            And Ron was back in a hospital bed.  Alive.

            Ron knew his destiny was to share this experience and has done so ever since. For example, he discovered an old friend in Florida was dying of cancer. He called, shared his story, and assured the man that his profession of the Christ would take him to heaven. The friend thanked him profusely. The next day he died.

            Ron continues telling the story to anyone who listens. Heaven is wonderful and a Savior is waiting there. By the way, that includes you.

            Remember miracles never cease!

WHERE GRACE APPEARED

Blog 266

May 29, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

WHERE GRACE APPEARED

Most of these miracle blogs have been intended to help people discover divine breakthroughs, but along the way I’ve found that many, many people already believe in the promise. Even in a time of skepticism, 73% of Americans believe in heaven. A higher percent believe in a divine being. The problem for many is accessing the promises that comes with faith. Perhaps, we need to explore “how” we receive the miraculous more than only exploring the “fact” of their existence. Here’s an example of “how.”

Rev. Beth Owen worked in the Church of the Holy Spirit, ministering primarily to women. One young woman had struggled for a long time trying to conceive a baby. She and her husband had been concerned for a period of years and had almost come to the conclusion that conception was not possible. The young women arrived in Beth’s office in a state of desperation. She wanted prayer.

Beth was keenly aware of the admonition in James 5:14 for the leaders of the church to pray over the needy and anoint them with oil. The scriptural promise was that the prayer of the faithful would bring recovery to the sick person. Beth’s custom was to take this passage literally and do what it said.

After anointing the young woman with oil, Beth began praying for her in accord with the scripture. As she prayed, Beth felt a strong sensation come over her. She was certain the young women would conceive.

Nine months later, a baby was born.

What was the “how” in this divine intervention? First, the young woman’s desperation brought her to the church as the place where grace was poured out. She positioned herself to receive in faith. Second, Beth ministered to her according to the scripture, following a specific direction from the Bible. Third, Beth experienced an inner assurance that the matter was covered by God’s provision. The “how” was conveyed through the church.

Beth was always careful in sharing this story not to give other couples a false sense of security, but she continued to minister with results.

So, how do you relate to this “how?” You might want to take the ministry of the church more seriously than you have in the past. Finding an inspired clergyperson can be the key. Just remember. Miracles never cease.
