THE DEAD RETURNED WHEN

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

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.

AND THEN SHE DIED BUT

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!

AND THEN THE ANGEL APPEARED

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 THE ANGEL APPEARED…

Part 2

            I keep being amazed by the encounters people have with angels. Eileen Freeman’s whole life was changed by her angelic experience when she was a child. Rather than call these visitations a “miracle,” Eileen called them a “wonder.” These “wonders” have guided her life ever since. Her books Angelic Healing and Touched By Angels were written to help others discover the same dimension. You can find the same too!

            As an adult, Eileen had been diagnosed with cancer (which horrified her of course) but still she had to attend a science fiction convention. She kept blaming herself for not doing what she might have done to prevent the disease. Maybe if she had lost more weight, the cancer wouldn’t have developed. She kept blaming herself. As she sat in the lobby of the hotel, Eileen’s self-incrimination continued.

            Suddenly, Eileen realized a woman was sitting next to her. Tall and middle-aged, the woman spoke with a Caribbean accent. With a warm smile on her face, the woman said, “Do you want to talk about it?”

            “I, what, uh, up, huh?” Eileen sounded shocked.

            “You’re in some kind of trouble, dear, aren’t you?” The woman began to explain that she noticed Eileen seemed to be in a struggle. She suggested they have some tea and talk about the problem. “Mint tea please,” she told the server.

            “Hmm, my favorite,” Eileen thought.

            The woman immediately explained that Eileen must trust God. If Eileen asked for help, she would find it. She must stop blaming herself because she didn’t create the problem. Stop being afraid because fear only delays healing. The woman quoted a biblical verse, “The angel of the Lord encamps around those who reverence him and delivers them.” With that the woman explained she had to leave.

            Eileen realized she hadn’t even asked the woman’s name and how could she have known so much about her? Remembering she needed to pay for the tea, Eileen called for the waitress. “I didn’t notice anyone sitting with you,” the waitress explained. “No, no one was with you. Oh, and the management said the tea is on the house.”

            Without any seeming knowledge of Eileen’s sickness, the woman had offered a message from God. No one else had seen her sitting with Eileen. The woman’s message proved to be amazingly helpful in curing Eileen’s illness. Later when a group picture was taken of people attending the conference, the woman wasn’t in the photo. She had just vanished. A wonder indeed!

            In these perilous times, everyone needs someone to show up and give us encouragement. How about having an angel in a human suit sit down beside you? Possible? Certainly is! Keep your eyes open. You never know who might show up.

AND THEN THE ANGEL APPEARED

Blog 345

June 24, 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 and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.

AND THEN THE ANGEL APPEARED…

            Last week, I noted that I run into more angel encounters than any other type of miracle story. Angels certainly are evidence of the supernatural dimension that exists just beyond our touch but is always there. You will be amazed if you start to believe they are here and around you all the time… and extremely interested in your needs!

            Here’s an example.

            In October 1991, Robin Naylor gave birth to a child. The doctors discovered a serious chromosomal defect and the baby was immediately raced to another hospital better equipped to deal with such an issue. Robin and her husband were devastated and struggled to know how to deal with the situation. Their world had been turned upside down.

            After thinking, praying, struggling, Robin’s husband confessed he was exhausted and needed to go home for much needed sleep. She was left alone to think and worry about what might lay ahead. Desolation set in and Robin was certain no one had ever experienced her trauma.

            Enter a nurse named Jan.

            Cheerful and efficient, Jan appeared to be the nurse assigned to assist Robin. She seemed to know a great deal about the baby’s problem. “I had to care for a baby with a similar defect,” Nurse Jan related. “I know what you are going through.  You’ll find it difficult to leave the hospital and not take the baby with you. Please know that you can talk with me anytime.”

            Robin was surprised how much their conversations helped. The nurse offered important insights and Robin drew strength from their talks. Finally, the baby was transferred back to the original hospital and Robin was released to go home alone. Later Robin wanted to come back and find Nurse Jan to thank her for how significantly she had helped. The nurse had really carried her through. Robin inquired at the nurse’s station where she could find Nurse Jan.

            “I’m sorry,” the head nurse replied. “We don’t have anyone here by that name. Never have had.”

            “But you must,” Robin protested. “She was so important to me.”

            “I’m sorry,” the nurse repeated. No one named Jan ever worked here.”

            Robin insisted on seeing her medical chart. There on the chart for that day were the initials ‘J.S.’, although the hospital never employed anyone with those initials.

            What occurred? Robin realized that Jan had been an angel sent to bring encouragement at the lowest time in her life. I have to tell you that such happens all the time. Seems like angels can put on human suits when they need to do their physical work among us. Could one be standing around you just waiting to help? Certainly! Keep your spiritual eyes open.

WHEN THE ANGEL APPEARED

Blog 344

June 17, 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 and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.

WHEN THE ANGEL APPEARED…

            Encountering an angel might not be considered a miracle, but it would certainly be a show stopping experience!  I possibly run into more angel encounters than any other miracle story. Their appearances stand out as a testimony to the supernatural dimension that exists just beyond our touch. They are certainly here and around all the time. Nothing jars an agnostic like discovering an angel at work in his or her own life. Here’s a couple of examples of what experiencing the angelic can mean.

            Carol Sintay was a regular church member and worship was part of her life. Her trip for a medical check-up produced a shocking result. A large tumor was discovered on one of her ovaries. The physician was certain Carol had cancer. The doctor believed the growth had attached to her colon and possible other internal organs. Even though she was in the middle of a semester in her master’s degree program, the doctor saw no other alternative. Three surgeons concurred that Carol must be operated on immediately.

            When the word spread about her impending disaster, the elders in Carol’s church came to pray. Gathering around her bed, they anointed her with oil, and prayed for healing. They called on the angels to protect and guide her. She was ready for the operation.

            As the three surgeons opened her body, they couldn’t understand what they were not seeing. There was no tumor. The surgeon who had clearly seen the growth on an ultrasound projection as well as on an x-ray searched frantically for the tumor. It was simply gone.

            Do these interventions happen all the time and we just don’t hear about them? Often people just don’t know what to say after an encounter. Sometimes they fear people will conclude they are whacko. Actually, they are the sanest of all.

 Here’s another example. After a serious car wreck, Mary (a pseudonym for privacy sake) was rushed to intensive care and not expected to live. After several days, a visitor was allowed into ICU. To her surprise, Mary looked fine and far from what the doctors expected.

            The friend inquired how she was doing. Mary said in a straight forward manner. “I’m going to be okay. An angel has been sitting at the foot of the bed all day.”

            Most of the time, our experience of angels is indirect or unrecognized. But those moments happen like Carol and Mary discovered. Recipients know their lives will never be the same again. Next time you find yourself in a bind, don’t hesitate to call on your guardian angel to help. We all have one. Your friend will be there.

HE COULDN’T WALK UNTIL

Blog 343

June 9, 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 and discoveries with persons who experienced the touch of God.

HE COULDN’T WALK UNTIL …

            We hear lots of stories about phony miraculous experiences. These yarns often center around people who present themselves as “healing evangelists.” One of these charlatans periodically pops up on television promoting “miracle water” from the desert in California. Sure, we all get a good laugh out of these weird tales. The problem is they discount people with true and powerful healing ministries. We tend to put the good and the bad in one basket. That conclusion only hinders needy people from reaching out for a redemptive touch. Here’s an example of what can happen with the “genuine article.”

            Mike Drynan was nineteen-years old when he suffered a stroke. After recovering, Mike was left with a severe hearing loss. During a worship service, the minister invited people with a need to come forward. The pastor invited him to put his hearing aid on the altar and then covered Mike’s ears with his hands. Almost instantly, Mike’s hearing completely returned. He knew the hand of God could heal him!

            Ten years passed and a public announcement stated that a noted man with a healing ministry was coming to town. Now wearing braces, Mike was more than interested in the event. People lined up to get into the service and it took Mike hours to get through the doors and find a seat in a crowd of 25,000 people. Finally, his wheelchair was rolled in.

            As the service unfolded, an elderly woman sitting next to him was healed. Mike’s anticipation grew. Abruptly, the speaker said, “The Lord is moving. People are being healed right now while they are sitting in their seats.”

            Mike could abruptly feel God’s healing presence around him. His hands started uncontrollably shaking.  A staff member of the healing team walked over said, “The power of God is all over you. We can see it! God is doing something!” People sitting behind Mike stated they saw a glow begin to surround him.

            The staff member told Mike to take the leg braces off and he immediately began unbuckling the steel and let the metal fall to the floor. “No pain!” Mike exclaimed. “There’s no pain!”

            Mike wept openly, knowing God had touched and healed him. With the braces piled on the wheel chair, he walked down to the front of the auditorium a different man.

            Later? Mike Drynan sold his wheel chair and passed his two canes on to the family as an heirloom commemorating his healing. Mission accomplished!

            If you have a need don’t be put off by scandalous stories. Don’t be afraid to wade out in the waters where the Holy Spirit is flowing. It may just be that God has chosen one of the least of these to be a vehicle for His healing power. Keep on walking out into the deep.

An Angel Told Her This

Blog 241

April 11, 2022

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.

An Angel told her this…

            Beck Hobbs kept having premonitions of a bad car wreck. Around Christmas time, her worried increased that some disaster might be ahead. She would even wake up in the dreaming of  the impending crash, but nothing happened and she blew the worry off.

            Becky’s birthday was January 24 and she was thinking about that celebration when it felt like somebody was tugging on her sleeve. The pull felt like she was being directed to leave the house and stand in the front yard. At 3:00 in the morning that didn’t seem like a good idea but she gave in.

            Standing there looking at the sky, she cried out, “What do you want me to know?” A booming physical voice answered, “Be careful, this may be your last birthday.”

            Even though the voice was commanding, for some reason this sudden call didn’t frighten her. She sensed the voice meant to help her. However, that one sentence of warning was all she heard.

            The next day, Becky left for Alabama to play for a police benefit. After the concert she loaded up her equipment, got in the van and the driver took off. They had just come to an inter-section when she looked up and saw an eighteen-wheeler van barreling down on her.

            “God help us!” she cried. “He’s not going to stop!” She cried for the driver to stop. Becky remembered that voice in the night and screamed, “Hit the brakes!” The driver of the eighteen-wheeler came sliding into Becky’s vehicle. The collision sent Becky’s van spinning, but they were alive.

            The police investigating the accident said, “A split second saved your life. One more second and you’d all been killed.”

            At that moment, Becky remembered the voice in the night and realized who it was. An angel had spoken and prepared her to be ready for the accident. The voice was her guardian angel. After reflecting, Becky felt she had a goal to help others learn to listen to the voice of their angel.

            In communicating with people like Becky, I’ve learned that often we have an unexpected thought, a nudge, an idea that comes out of nowhere and that might possibly be our guardian angel directing us. At such moments, we can stop and pray, “Are you there? Can you speak to me? What do you have to tell me?” You might be surprised by what you discover.

THERE WAS NO HOPE UNTIL

Blog 342

May 27, 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.

THERE WAS NO HOPE UNTIL …

Why do some people experience a miracle and others don’t? I have no answer except that people often try to manipulate their heavenly Father with constant prayers, promises to believe if He responds, promises to be a better person, etc. which often ends with them deciding not to believe at all.

Here’s an example of trust with no manipulation.

Art Pope was that kind of guy. Working in the construction business, he put unusual stress and strain on his knees. When the pain finally became unbearable, he went to a physician in Cloverdale, California. The x-ray did not have good news. “It’s going to be necessary to rebuild your knee with pins.”  The result? Art would be off work for five to six months after surgery. With five children, such a period of recuperation would be another disaster.

The surgeon told Art that his knee cap was like fragments of an eggshell. When he turned his knee in a certain direction, the pieces would hit a nerve. The complete medical picture would frighten anyone.

His father Arthur Pope held prayer meetings in their family garage.  While he was suffering on a couch, Arthur Pope came in and asked Art if the he’d like the group to pray for him. “Sure!”

Art had learned not to doubt. As the group stood around him, he prayed, “Lord, I want Your will.”

The group laid on hands and prayed. Art felt a tingling in his knee. He knew something was happening. Afterward he started bending his knee and finally took the Ace bandages off. Art couldn’t believe it, but he felt no pain. After walking around the room several times, he shouted, “I thank God that he healed me!”

Later, Art realized how important it had been “to pray with belief.” To prove that he was living by his faith, the next day Art returned to work and helped carry and stack 150 double-package sheets of sheet rock without pain! How could anyone doubt his healing? God had given him a new knee.

But that wasn’t all. Years after Art’s healing, his son Kimble became a pastor of a church in Bakersfield.  He heard his son say, “No one can ever convince me that God is not real because I saw Him heal my father.”

Rejecting doubt and acceptance by faith proved to have far reaching consequences. And what about you? Zero in on the truth that your Heavenly Father responds to trust. Hold tight. Believe.  Trust.
