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.
BREAKING THE BONDS THAT BIND
Rachel Bennett had been a clinical psychologist for a number of years when she and her husband Johnnie adopted Mary Ann. The beautiful child had grown into a talented young woman. At age 16, Mary Ann went off to a fine arts summer camp. However, when she returned, Rachel immediately knew something had happened. Mary Ann’s personality had shifted into a defiant and hostile mode. Her attitude had become indifferent and even hostile.
Contrary to the past, she became belligerent. As Rachel was driving down the street, Mary Ann blurted out that she had never had a relationship with her mother in the first place. She leaned over and grabbed the steering wheel, sending the car varying across the road that could have killed both of them. Rachel was terrified. Was this child a monster?
Through an unusual source, the Bennett’s had access to the child’s earliest files before the adoption. The record indicated that the biological mother had been involved with a cult and placed the baby for adoption because she feared the girl would be abused by the occult. Rachel set out to understand what the child’s background might mean now. To her shock, she discovered that a generational curse had been placed to affect Mary Ann when she turned sixteen! Coming from a highly educated background, Rachel was stunned. Family Systems Therapy suggested family history influences behavior but this different. Way different.
Strangely enough, Rachel began developing her own serious medical problems. These problems worsened as MaryAnn struggled with her issues. Could some sort of witchcraft be behind both Rachel’s problems and Mary Ann’s struggle? Sounded like a Halloween movie but the symptoms were all there. The physical problems appeared to be based in their spiritual vulnerability.
One night Rachel heard strange noises and knew no one could be in the house. Her dog began barking at a corner of her room. Rachel knew animals often have a keen sense of entities that humans can’t see. The dog kept barking as if “something” was coming out of the corner of the bedroom. Rachael began asking the Holy Spirit to descend and cover her with protection. As she kept begging in prayer, afterwhile the dog stopped howling. A divine sense of empowerment settled over Rachael. Both the physical and spiritual problems begun to slide away. Rachael’s painful issues disappeared. Mary Ann no longer had her enigmatic behavior .
The point? Don’t want to spook you, but often we do not consider what is happening in our physical world to be connected to a spiritual cause. The need is to seek the Holy Spirit’s empowerment and ask the hand of God to reach into the past to bring wholeness to the present. Anyone can receive the answer.
Remember: Miracles never cease.
