HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

HE WOULD HAVE BEEN KILLED BUT …

            You may not be familiar with the name Dr. E. Stanely Jones because he was part of an era that is now gone. A medical doctor, Dr. E. Stanely was also something of a diplomat, trying to bring stability and balance to India and China. In fact, he was in China when the Japanese invaded and World War II began. Recognizing that he could be trapped in China for the entirety of the war, Dr. E. Stanely started searching for a ship to get him out of the oncoming conflict.

            I had the privilege of spending time with this great man while I was in seminary. By this time, E. Stanely was an old man probably close to 90-years old, but he was on the road working as hard as ever. He was internationally known for his stories of the miraculous experiences he had during his many years on the mission field.  We talked for a while and then he asked me to pray with him. We knelt side by side as he prayed and I was moved by the sound of his voice. Afer we concluded, he told me the rest of what happened in China.

            Dr. Jones caught the last tramp freighter that left Shanghai. The old ship slowly traveled from port to port, but staying ahead of the Japanese invading army. The freighter pulled into a port in Bangkok, Thailand. As the ship touched shore, Dr. Jones could hear the Holy Spirit saying, “Get off this boat.” He froze.

If he left the ship, he could be stranded in Bangkok for the rest of the war. The inner voice spoke again. “Get off this boat.”

            Because he always obeyed the voice of God, E. Stanely had all of his luggage piled up on the dock. Thinking he might be crazy, he watched the ship sail out of the harbor. The ship went one mile and was struck by a torpedo. The freighter and the entire crew immediately sunk.

            Later when he told this story, a man stood up in the audience and said, “You mean you were the only one God wanted to save on that ship?”

            Dr. Jones answered, “No sir. I was the only one listening.”

            Hearing God speak is a miracle … a miracle anyone can participate in. It’s a matter of learning to reach inward spiritually and open your heart and mind to the Transcendent. Most of the time we are too preoccupied to realize we are closed. As you pray, don’t just talk. Listen.

LOST IN DESPAIR UNTIL

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

LOST IN DESPAIR UNTIL…

            Steve Kilcoyne was born into an Irish Catholic working class family. What his life was supposed to be was challenged to the core when he was drafted into service in the Vietnam war. Three times he appealed to avoid the inevitable, but was soon on his way to Da Nang. As was true for so, so many, the only way he could sustain his life with the carnage and terror was to stay drunk at night and stay on substance-induced drugs during the day. His life took on a surreal disoriented quality.

            When he returned to America, Steve began living on the street and wound up in the Haight Ashbury streets of San Francisco.  The summer of love had died and the streets were filled with drug addicts. One Spring afternoon, Steve walked down a street, struggling, angry, talking to himself, when he came to a red light and stopped. Before the light could change, his life was about to change.

            Steve looked up and saw a small angel hovering in the air above his head. Holding a sledge hammer, the angel kept beating on an iron anvil. Abruptly, on the other side a second angel was doing the same thing. In a flash, Steve felt a shockwave of awe and his war time wounds responding to this angelic presence. The desperation and savage anxiety eating away inside of him broke open. Steve knew he was no longer alone. As he gazed at the angels, incredible serenity filled him. These beings had come to protect and help him. Love that he had never known filled him. The angels pounding on their anvils sent a new energy through his body.

            Steve left the street life and went to a veteran’s hospital to deal with the trauma from the war. He quit drinking and using drugs. He contributed to the military’s growing understanding of post-trauma stress disorder. As his healing continued, he vowed to make some kind of meaningful art out of his war experience. With symbols of language and dreams, he wanted to portray the hidden truths that give life meaning. Out of this time came a dream he called Angels/Anvils. His theater of healing brought new reconciliation to a war-torn world.

            And how did the change occur? By an angelic visitation. You don’t have to go through the misery and struggle Steve did to recognize angels are equally concerned for you. Everybody has a guardian angel seen or unseen. That angel is continually working for you. Reach out and tell him hello.

THE DEAD RETURNED WHEN

Blog 348

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.

THE DEAD RETURNED WHEN…

            Whether it’s popular to believe so or not, there is another dimension to reality. Often called eternity or heaven, “the other side” is God’s realm. While we don’t understand what’s “over there,” we get small insights now and then. Here’s an example of that reality that also brings a lesson to be remembered.

            Cardinal James Hickey, Archbishop of Washington, had been included in a VIP tour of Auschwitz Concentration Camp in Poland. With dread, he began a tour of the Nazi execution facility. The priest walked through the shower area used for gassing and on back to the crematoriums. Cardinal Hickey stared at the ovens where millions went up in smoke. Ashes and pieces of bone were still laying on the gurney.

            Overwhelmed by the ghastly sight, the priest stuck his hand in the ashes and began to intercede for the victims that died there. His profound and emotional prayer arose from the depth of his soul. As he prayed, he realized another group had come in and he must respect their visit. Father Hickey felt them coming closer. When he looked over his shoulder, the priest was startled that a group of men in black and white striped prison suits had now walked close and surrounded him. He assumed they must be dressed to portray former prisoners for visitors sake.

            They immediately began talking in different languages that Cardinal Hickey couldn’t understand. Polish, Russian, Yiddish, German; they kept trying to tell him something. “I’m sorry,” the priest said. ”I don’t understand.” He pulled his hand out of the oven. The group of men vanished!

            The priest was totally shaken. Never, never had he experienced anything like these apparitions! Father Hickey simply couldn’t digest what he had experienced. He staggered out of the death camp and returned to his hotel room where he decided rather than returning to Washington, he would go to Rome. A friend of Pope John Paul II, he had to talk with the Supreme Pontiff to gain some insight into this experience that continued to haunt him.

            When he met privately with the Pope, Cardinal Hickey related the whole story. Knowing the Pope was Polish and had lived through the terrors of WWII, he asked what it all meant.
            “It has happened before,” John Paul II told him. “Others have seen these same apparitions.”

            “But what does it mean?”

            The Pope said thoughtfully. “They are saying this must never happen again. We must all do what we can to stop it from ever recurring.”

            A message for all of us.

            Don’t forget that there is another dimension and your prayers cross that line into eternity. The possibilities of what can happen are endless. Don’t be fearful of reaching out to touch God’s world. It will touch you back.

THE DREAM SEEMED UNFATHOMABLE UNTIL

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

THE DREAM SEEMED UNFATHOMABLE UNTIL …

            Recently, I shared a miraculous story unfolding in the midst of the tragic war raging in Gaza. Regardless of your political persuasion, the situation is profoundly devastating. Could anything positive be found in the midst of this chaos?

            Scripture tells us that the love of God is not destroyed by war. Here’s another example of how divine concern is still at work in the Holy Land.

            Osama lived in Jericho and worked for the Palestinian Authority. I’ve been through Jordan many times and seen the excavations seeking the remains of the walls of Jericho when centuries ago Joshua’s army marched around seven times. Osama would have seen the dig every day in this ancient city.

            One night Osama dreamed about Jesus. Night after night the same theme returned. Being a Moslem, he was not sure of what to think. Osama went to the Iman and enquired about the meeting of his dreams. The Moslem authority told the young man to read the Qur’an and the dream would stop. Osama followed the instructions only to discover that the more he read, the more these appearances returned.

            Going back to the Iman, Osama was told to be more involved in the mosque and that would bring a cure. That night? Another dream about Jesus. Finally, the Iman directed Osama to make a Hajj, a pilgrimage to Mecca.

            Like millions of pilgrims over the centuries, Osama started walking around the Kaaba, often called the house of Allah. The huge black structure is considered the most sacred mosque in Islam.  The doctrine in The Five Pillars of Islam decrees that a believer should make the journey at least once in a lifetime. In a five-day period over a million people walk around the Kaaba. During the promenade, the pilgrim is supposed to say prayers and look up at the Kaaba. When Osma looked up, he sat Jesus standing on the top.

            Jesus looked down and said, “Osama leave this place. You are going in the wrong direction. Leave and go home.” Overwhelmed, Osama left.

 Some time later he found a Christian friend who shared the story of the resurrection with him. He discovered the risen Christ had appeared in his dreams.  Osama knew this account and explanation of his dreams was true. He realized the reality and meaning of the appearances of the risen Christ. And today? Osama is a changed man. His face radiates joy.

           Easter happened to Osama. Just another one of many stories for the season. Of all the miracle experiences I have encountered, resurrection stories remain the most overpowering. Reach out to the risen Christ and you too can become part of the story.

THE MIRACLE OF THE NEW YEAR!

Blog 321-B

January 1, 2024

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 of the New Year!

The New Year is a time when people all around the world celebrate new beginnings and make resolutions for the year ahead. But did you know that Jesus also performed a miracle during this time? In the Gospel of John, there is a story about Jesus attending a wedding in the town of Cana. During the celebration, the hosts ran out of wine, causing embarrassment and distress. Understanding the situation, Jesus transformed water into wine, saving the wedding feast and bringing joy to everyone present.

This miracle is a significant event because it reveals Jesus’ divine power and his willingness to help others. It also teaches us about the values of abundance, generosity, and the importance of celebration. Jesus showcases his ability to turn something ordinary, like water, into something extraordinary – wine. By doing so, he demonstrates his authority over nature and his ability to meet people’s needs. In this case, Jesus brought happiness to the newlyweds and their guests, showing his compassion and desire to bring joy into their lives.

Moreover, this miracle highlights the significance of celebration in our lives. The wedding feast is a time for expressing joy and happiness, an occasion where people come together to share love and laughter. By performing this miracle, Jesus emphasizes the importance of celebrating life’s milestones and cherishing the moments we have with one another. It serves as a reminder for us to approach each new year with an attitude of gratitude and a spirit of celebration, knowing that Jesus is there to bring abundance and joy into our lives.

As we embark on a new year, this story reminds us to celebrate life’s milestones, cherish our time with loved ones, and have faith that Jesus can transform even the ordinary into something extraordinary. May the New Year be filled with blessings, joy, and a renewed sense of hope as we remember this miracle and Jesus’ presence in our lives.

My latest book has just now been released. You’ll find it fascinating!

The almost unknown account of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s involvement in a number of attempts to assassinate Adolph Hitler remains one of the extraordinary stories of World War II. A towering theologian and patriot, Bonhoeffer did not retreat from joining the fight to stop the Nazis. In these pages you will discover an explosive adventure that remains an ultimate witness to the truth.


          After his capture, his fiancé Maria von Wedemeyer, never gave up attempting to find him and stand with him. In later years, Maria was to become the leading scientist with the Remington Rand Corporation, pioneering the way for the modern computer.
           My interview with Bonhoeffer’s godson, Christop Von Dohnanyi, sheds more light on who Bonhoeffer was and what he accomplished. You will find this thoroughly researched though novelized story of Bonhoeffer’s involvement in WWII to be gripping and compelling.

            The book is available in kindle and paperback on Amazon.

THE MIRACLE OF CHRISTMAS

Blog

December 25, 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 OF CHRISTMAS

Jesus’ birth is undoubtedly a true miracle, as it defies the natural laws of conception and childbirth. According to the Bible, Jesus was born to the Virgin Mary, who conceived Him through the Holy Spirit. This miraculous event challenges the scientific understanding of human reproduction and emphasizes the divine intervention in Jesus’ birth. The concept of a virgin birth is biologically impossible, making it a supernatural occurrence that highlights Jesus’ divine nature and his exceptional role in salvation.

The miracle of Jesus’ birth becomes even more extraordinary when considering the prophecies foretelling it. The Old Testament predicted the coming of a Messiah born of a virgin in Isaiah 7:14, stating, “Therefore the Lord himself will give you a sign: The virgin will conceive and give birth to a son, and will call him Immanuel.” This prophecy clearly indicates that Jesus’ birth is not merely a coincidence but the fulfillment of divine plans. The fulfillment of these prophecies adds weight to the claim that Jesus’ birth is a true miracle, as it demonstrates the divine orchestration of events throughout history.

Furthermore, the significance of Jesus’ birth lies in its purpose and impact on humanity. As the Son of God, Jesus was sent to Earth to offer salvation and reconcile humanity with God. His birth marks the beginning of this divine mission and the ultimate sacrifice that would follow, leading to the redemption of mankind. This mission would have been inconceivable without the miracle of Jesus’ birth, as it sets the foundation for his life, teachings, and ultimately, his crucifixion and resurrection.

Jesus’ birth is undeniably a true miracle that defies natural laws and confirms his divine origin. The occurrence of a virgin birth, as foretold in prophetic texts, serves as a testament to the divine intervention and highlights Jesus’ exceptional role in salvation. Without Jesus’ miraculous birth, his mission to offer redemption and the eventual sacrifice for humanity’s sins would not have been possible. The miracle of Jesus’ birth acts as a cornerstone in Christianity, emphasizing the remarkable nature of his life and teachings!
