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.
READY TO DIE? GUESS WHAT?
The most miraculous conversations always come from people who have had near-death experiences. Over the years, I have talked with many people who had such an encounter. For example, in 1987, Dawn Gillott underwent emergency surgery in an intensive care unit. She suddenly felt herself floating above her body and going down a tunnel into an open field. Sitting on a park bench, she found her grandfather who had died seven years earlier and he inquired about her family. The peace Dawn felt made her want to stay forever, but he insisted she must return for her children’s sake. Before she could complete the conversation, Dawn was back in the I.C.U. in recovery, living in this world.
How do we understand these reports? Dr. Peter Fenwick, a British neuro-psychiatrist and graduate from the University of Cambridge, spent a life time studying these experiences. He confronted his colleagues who considered near-death events to be symptoms of anoxia, a lack of oxygen to the brain. Dr. Fenwick also challenged academics who considered these encounters as nothing more than hallucinations.
Dr. Fenwick believed consciousness exists beyond death and studied the matter scientifically. He found 50 percent of those he studied reported traveling down a tunnel while 72 percent saw a brilliant light. In the experiences he investigated, Dr. Fenwick found 40 percent met someone they had previously known. A striking 72 percent reported making a decision to return to life and came back. These similarities cannot be accidental.
In his book detailing his research, The Truth in the Light, he shares the conclusions he found from over 2,000 letters people sent him.
Dr. Fenwick concluded, “Once you’ve had this experience, you are changed, whether you like it or not.” His conclusion was that the body dies, but not the individual person. When asked about his own death, the psychiatrist said, “Actually, I’m looking forward to it.”
The miraculous may be nearer than you think! While much about the near-death experiences remains unknown, we have been given certainty about where eternal life is found. Jesus taught, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” The apostle John wrote, “this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his son. (I John 10:11) That’s a sure promise!
Remember. Miracles never cease.
