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 and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.
AND THEN SHE DIED BUT…
During lunch with Phyllis Skocypec this week, she began to relate an experience that deeply affected her mother’s life. For over a decade, we had often shared many mutual discoveries. Many times Phyllis had taken mission trips to Appalachia to help people struggling with poverty. Sometimes we talked about near-death encounters with people we had known. The subject came up again.
Near-death situations aren’t new, although in the past people generally didn’t talk about theses incidences fearing they would be thought to be weird or deranged. Afterall, being pronounced dead and then showing up again is not exactly the generally expected norm. However, during recent decades, even science has come to understand near-death reversals in a more competent way. Here is what happened to Beatrice Long.
Faced with serious surgery, Beatrice was wheeled into the operating room. During her procedure, her problem became more complicated and worsened. “We’re losing her!” The nurse called out frantically.
“Hurry! Hurry!” The doctor called out. “Get a syringe, a long needle.”
No matter what they did, Beatrice’s vital signs continued to diminish. Finally, her body completely stopped functioning. The staff rushed to apply emergency procedures but were too late. For around four minutes Beatrice Long was dead.
But where was she?
Beatrice could see people standing around her. Although she didn’t recognize any of them as their faces seemed to be blurred, or hidden, they seemed warm, friendly, welcoming. Bernice intuitively knew she was in heaven. As she looked around, Beatrice discovered a young boy approaching.
She looked again. The boy was Carlie! Her nephew had died at age seven when he was struck by a car many years ago. Carlie walked up to Beatrice and placed a Jesus ring in her hand. (A Jesus ring is a crucifix bent to curl around the finger.)
And then Beatrice was abruptly back in her body. The medical staff were astonished. Later she looked up from her bed and Phyllis was sitting by her side. “I’ve really been in heaven.” she said.
Whatever you accept in these near-death stories, they ring with self-authenticating truth. Beatrice had met once again a long passed relative. She had been in heaven.
A wonder? A miracle? No question about it. just all part of God’s plan. And that includes you!
