MOVEMENT WAS IMPOSSIBLE UNTIL

            Art Shaw remained a fascinating guy. At age 95, he was a retired Army Colonel who fought in World War II and all the conflicts that followed. Art received a serious back injury that required a spinal fusion from L1 to S1. Twenty-two units of blood were needed. A team of doctors and nurses was required even to move him in the bed. Of course, any motion was extremely painful. Nevertheless, what the staff called a “log roll” was necessary to prevent pneumonia.

            In the middle of the night, Art heard a voice call his name. “Art, it’s time to log roll.” No one was in the room. The voice came again. Because of the pain and serious possible complications, Art knew how impossible movement would be. “Art, do what I tell you and you won’t be hurt.” Art intuitively knew to obey.

He opened his eyes and saw something like a black tube extending into infinity. At the top was a bright, concentrated light. With the instruction to turn over came the assurance that they would help him do so. He made the log roll and went back to sleep.

            Later in the night the voice called again. “Art, it’s time to roll.” The same assurance that he would be helped was there. He turned over. Easily.

            When his wife Joan arrived the next morning, Art told her that he turned over twice.

            “Impossible!” she insisted. “You couldn’t have!”

            She rushed out of the room to confront the nurse. “What are you giving him?” she forcefully inquired. “What drugs? What pain killers? He’s hallucinating!”

            The nurse frowned. “What are you talking about? We didn’t give him any additional medications last night.

            Joan dragged the nurse and her assistants back to his room. “He couldn’t have turned by himself! The pain would be too great. Too dangerous. But look!”

            The nurse stared for a moment and then ran for the doctor. Dr. Shephard came in. Astonished! There was no medical explanation for how Art Shaw could have been repositioned – but it had happened – twice.

            The angel continued to speak several other times. “Art, you will be alright. You’ll be okay.”

            Art told me that the Angel always has the same particular tone in voice. Distinct. Individual. Whenever the voice sounds, Art knows who is speaking and listens.

            When Art told me this story, he was relating how he had come to know that a guardian angel was with him. Like a voice speaking inside his head, when his name was called direction followed. Today at important times, Art’s angel always shows up and gives him the orientation that he needs.

            Believe in Angels? Art certainly did. Oh, and remember miracles never cease.

DEATH DIDN’T STOP RUTH

Blog 365

November 11, 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.

DEATH DIDN’T STOP RUTH

            With her bright red-hair and rambunctious style, Ruth Eaton was one of the most delightful persons I’ve ever known. Ruth was always on the go. Visiting a friend in a nursing home, 86 year-old Ruth discovered that many of these “old” people had no one left who knew anything about them or cared for them. She simply couldn’t let this be! The work she began on their behalf never stopped until Ruth died at age 93.

            Ruth Eaton made it her job to find a gift for every lonely person in a nursing home in Oklahoma City. She watched for specials in the newspaper and came up with everything from women’s socks to men’s underwear. Her living room was piled high with boxes and wrapping paper for her “best buys” being prepared for delivery on Christmas Eve.

            Ruth’s only daughter had died at age 44. I had the service for her and knew that the death had nearly killed Ruth. At that time, I couldn’t fully comprehend how the affect lingered for years. Only after the death of my oldest son did I realize how difficult it had been to deal with the death of a child. Ruth didn’t speak of her experience often, but it was always there.

            On this particular Friday, I told my secretary not to let anyone in or any phone calls get through until I had my sermon completed. Thirty minutes later, I could hear Ruth raising a ruckus. “I don’t care what he said!” she yelled at the secretary. “I demand to speak with him NOW!” And in came Ruth.

            She had been sitting on her couch wrapping presents when she began to think about her beloved daughter and wondered where she was today. At the same time, Ruth thought about her mother who had died many decades earlier. The remembrance of these two important and significant persons always remained important to her.

            Ruth abruptly had the strangest feeling. She looked down at the end of the couch and there stood her mother and daughter. Though they had been many years apart in age, they now both looked exactly the same age at about 25. Ruth stared in amazement. Mother and daughter smiled back at her, reflecting their joy at what she was doing. The three of them seemed to communicate telepathically, sharing their love and devotion.

            Ruth swallowed hard and looked away. When she looked again, they were gone. For a long time, Ruth sat there in astonishment, trying to grasp what she had experienced. Whatever else Ruth might have been uncertain about, there was no question in her mind, but that she had been visited by her deceased mother and her daughter.

            That’s when Ruth came to my office.

            What did her encounter mean? Ruth was certain that her view of eternity had been assured. Think about it.

            Remember… miracles never cease.

DEATH DIDN’T STOP HIM

Blog 364

November 4, 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.

Death Didn’t stop Him

While reading The Oklahoman daily newspaper, I saw the story of Don Houston’s near-death ordeal. Intrigued, I found him and his wife. Don told me what happened.

            Congestive heart failure ran in his family, taking his father at 58 and his brother at 56. Don is in the 2% who survive this condition. Because bronchitis made Don snore, Rita often slept in another room, but on this night she didn’t. In the middle of the night, she heard a “death rattle” and panicked. When she rolled Don over, there was no movement. His tongue began to hang out. Rita called 911 for an ambulance as well as receiving instructions on performing CPR.

            When the ambulance arrived, the attendants stuck needles in Don’s feet and received no response. By the time he got to the hospital, the only things keeping him breathing were machines. The doctors gave Rita no hope. She was told he probably wouldn’t recognize her if he ever woke up. The best they could hope for was a nursing home.

            Rita asked the ER doctor if they could go into his secluded room and pray. With Don’s two daughters, she made a prayer circle around the bed and began to pray fervently. Rita kept praying over and over, “Jesus help us.”

            The hospital put Don in an induced comma called the “Arctic Sun” where his body temperature was reduced down to around 90 degrees Fahrenheit. For four day he was the “frozen man” with his arms tied down to the bed.

            And what was happening with Don?

            Don became aware and looked around. He was in a totally white room with no windows and two distinct doors. The voice of God said, “Don, you had a heart attack.” The room suddenly lit up and arch-shaped widows appeared. Don saw figures walking by. They all had the same features, and the same colored hair. Each wore a white robe. He realized they were angels.

            Don felt totally peaceful with no worries. Finally, one of the angels said, “Come with me.”  The angel escorted him through what Don calls “the door of second chances.” Suddenly, he was back in his body.

            His daughter had been holding his hand and felt a squeeze. The doctor thought the tug was only a reflex. He took Don’s hand and abruptly there was another squeeze. The doctor nearly fainted. He rushed out and brought in other doctors to observe Don.

            Rita leaned over the bed. “Do you know what’s happened?”

            “Yes,” he said. “I had a heart attack.”

            “How do you know?” Rita asked.

            “God told me,” Don said.

            Rita stared. Don’s eyes had always been a greenish brown. Now, they were the prettiest bright blue eyes, she had ever seen.

            Today Don is inspired to tell everyone that there is life after death. He says, “I do know for a fact, there is something out there and you’re not alone. There is something there to comfort you and help you along the way and they’ll lead you. You need to get God in your heart because you never know when you’re going to pass.”

            Can we call the results a miracle? Even a skeptic has to throw in the towel on such a phenomenon. For all practical purposes, Don was dead and the medical profession did not expect a recovery. However, Don Houston came back because he was filled with renewed life that only heaven can give.

            Remember… miracles never cease.

THE MAN WAS OVERWHELMED WHEN

Blog 363

October 27, 2018

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 MAN WAS OVERWHELMED WHEN…

            In Quin Moore’s world extraordinary events were considered the norm. He had grown up in a Pentecostal Church where people prayed for things to happen and they did. Perhaps, you’d like to know more about the Pentecostal Movement.

               Pentecostalism appeared around the turn of the century in the Azusa Street revival in Los Angeles, California beginning on April 19, 1906 when a black preacher named William Seymour began calling the Holy Spirit down on the congregation. Many people repented and fell under the power of the Holy Spirit. The revival lasted until 1915 and is considered to be the beginning of Pentecostalism. From humble beginnings, the movement rapidly spread across America and into Oklahoma.

            When Quinton went to college, he encountered attitudes at the other end of the spectrum. The skepticism bug began to bite. Modern academia looked askance at the divine intervention stories coming out of Pentecostal churches. They were considered emotionalism, psychological manipulation, as well as nonsense. As Quinton studied logic, philosophy, and science, he began sliding to the edge. He certainly believed in the basic tenets of the biblical faith, but the supernatural dimension became less and less attractive. After Quinton completed an excellent education, he felt called into the ministry and started exploring various aspects of  outreach.

            A church in Liberal, Kansas called him to come up and speak. Taking his new wife Annie with him, he drove to a small congregation, to try his hand at preaching. Around 35 people showed up to hear this young man.

            The typical plain church building had a communion table underneath the pulpit with a thanksgiving basket sitting in the middle of the table. Bananas, apples, oranges had been piled together to represent the harvest season. People sauntered in and sat down to listen to this young fellow.

            One man was particularly noticeable. Slouched down in the middle of the pew, the man stared at Quinton with a defiant look on his face. While no words were spoken, he seemed to be daring the preacher to say something. Quinton could feel the challenge written across the man’s face.

            Quinton launched into his sermon, but a strange thought blipped through his mind. “Take a banana and put it on that obstinate man’s head.” While Quinton knew what it was to have the Holy Spirit speak in his thoughts, this idea sounded beyond the preposterous. He kept preaching but the idea wouldn’t go away. Finally, he jumped down from the pulpit grabbed a banana out of the basket, and started up the aisle pointing the fruit at the man’s head.

            The defiant look vanished and the fellow virtually fell out of the pew. He began crawling up the aisle crying. The man grabbed the kneeling rail and sobbed bitterly. Most of the people in the congregation were family or knew him. They gathered around, praying for his wholeness.

            After the service was over, Quinton approached the man to inquire what had happened. “Look,” the man said. “I cynically told the Lord if this preacher hears from you, let him put a banana on my head.” Still sobbing, the man said “you did!”

            Does our heavenly Father speak to people today? There’s a man in Kansas with a banana who will tell you so.

            Remember miracles never cease.

SHE LOOKED AND THERE WAS AN ANGEL

Blog 361

October 20, 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.

SHE LOOKED AND THERE WAS AN ANGEL…

            Everyone is fascinated by angels. In fact, many people who don’t believe in most Christian ideas still believe in angels. Ask Barbara Yeates.

            No one understands any better than Barbara. Experiencing the real thing forever changed her life. Always a spiritual person, she did not have any anticipation of a divine intervention. While sleeping with her husband Jeff, her perception entirely changed one night.

            Barbara wasn’t sure whether she was asleep or not, but she was completely aware when she realized two angels were standing by the bed. The size of the angels awed her. Barbara recognized that the one closest to her was huge.

            The angel told her, “Do not worry abut your parents as we will watch over them. We are not ready to receive them yet.”

            Barbara wasn’t sure if she heard with her ears or her mind, but the message was resoundingly clear. She heard plainly and this was one of the most real experiences of her life.

            Her husband Jeff suddenly asked. “What’s wrong!”

            Jarred by his question, Barbara sat up in bed, but the angels were gone.

            For a long time, Barbara told no one about her experience. She feared they would think she was crazy. However, she bought every book she could find on people who had experienced angels. Each one had the same experience of hearing the angels speak but not seeing their mouth move.

            Two weeks later, Jeff received a message that they were being transferred to Germany. Barbara immediately panicked. Who would take care of her parents? They needed her oversight. At that moment, the memory of the angelic visit surged through her mind. Hadn’t the angels promised to care for her parents? Was that not an amazing divine intervention? Absolutely! Well before the fact, the angels had come to give her peace about was ahead. Her parents would be taken care of.

            The experience changed her life. A conviction about the presence of God had always been there, but this event turned her faith into total assurance. She needed no proofs about her beliefs. The intentions of God were fulfilled.

            While the mind of God is inscrutable, we can catch glimpses of the divine plan and purposes. One of the components in His actions is that the future will be preserved in a positive way. While it always remains a mystery as to why the heavenly Father worked for one person or situation and not another, we can still perceive that the miraculous is always an expression of love.

And remember: miracles never cease!

SHE FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BREATHE UNTIL

Blog 360

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.

SHE FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BREATHE UNTIL…

            I am often asked if there is any special place where miracles most often seem to happen. Of course, they occur where people are completely open to the Holy Spirit working in their life. No one can predict where the hand of God will move, but we can depend on the fact that our heavenly Father’s love is not only constantly, but particularly working when we hurt.

            However, miraculous events often occur around people who have the gifts of the Holy Spirit. (See the New Testament, I Corinthians 12 for insight into the gifts of the Spirit) Such giftedness provides a channel for the power of God to be poured out. The Andrew Warmack conferences are a good example. Melanie Davis had gone to the Summer Family Bible Conference with such a hope.

            Melanie had struggled with severe allergies her entire life. She took every medication possible, but still had difficulty sleeping. Breathing proved to be a struggle and her eyes were constantly red and usually swollen. Melanie Davis lived in continual misery. Often allergies forced her eyes shut. She had come to the Bible Conference hoping that maybe… just maybe… something … anything could make her life easier.

            As the evening session unfolded, the speaker made a surprising announcement. “Someone here is struggling with breathing and a seasonal-type allergy giving them trouble sleeping.” Looking out over the audience, the speaker called out if that person was there, they should stand up.

            Melanie abruptly felt like there were arms lifting her up. She rose to her feet feeling rather embarrassed. The speaker immediately suggested that the people around her should place their hands on Melanie and pray for her condition. With her eyes closed, Melanie could feel the warmth of hands being placed on her shoulders and prayers being said.

            Lost in the prayers, Melanie no longer heard anything that was being said, but she felt the power surging through her body. Suddenly, her eyes popped open. She could see everything around her clearly. The swelling was gone. The itching had vanished. Melanie could feel the condition leaving. Stunned, she began to cry.  Later she took a bicycle ride outside in the breeze and had no problems. She was healed.

            Where did the miracle happen? At a place where gifted people prayed for others in need.  Could be a church, a meeting, a conference. Just look for the places where spiritual gifted people are at work. And remember: miracles never cease!

DREAMS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING

Blog 354

August 25, 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.

DREAMS CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING (REPOST)

            Ever have a dream that changed everything? A dream that lingered for days? Such dreams spring from the unconscious and have a way of burrowing into our conscious minds, alerting us to something important that we may have missed? The biblical stories of Jacob dreaming of a ladder coming down from heaven or Joseph being warmed to take the baby Jesus to Egypt reminds us of the importance of dreams. Here’s an example.

            Tom Doyle was an important frontline missionary in Egypt with a special ability to work with Muslims. The contact began when he discovered something was happening in the dreams of many Muslims encountering Jesus.  His friend Rami had one of these dreams.

            A man in a white robe appeared in Rami’s dream and said that he loved him. In his dream, Rami was standing beside a lake when he walked over and kissed Jesus. As Tom listened to people in Gaza City, he began to hear the same story again and again. Jesus would appear in the dream in a white robe, telling the person that he loved them and had died for them. Similar dream reports began coming in from all directions, Iran, Iraq, Syria, were reporting the identical dream.

            Ads were placed even in Egyptian newspapers. “Have you seen a man in a white robe in your dream? He has a message for you. Call this number.” These ads became a way that Christian ministries reached people.

            Kamal, one of his associates, felt he should go down to the Khan el-Khalin market place because God had a special assignment for him there. Out of the crowd, a Muslim woman named Noor broke through the crowd shouting, “You were in my dream last night! You’re the one. Those clothes – you were wearing those clothes. For sure, it was you.”

            Tom Doyle asked Noor, “Was I with Jesus?”

            “Yes,” the woman said. “Jesus was with us.”

            The woman explained, “Jesus walked with me alongside a lake and told me how much he loved me. I never felt so much peace. I ask him, “Why are you visiting me, a poor Muslim woman with eight children?” He said, “I love you, Noor. I have given everything for you. I died for you. Tomorrow, ask my friend about me. He will tell you everything you need to know to understand my visit.”

            “I have never been loved like I was when Jesus walked with me in that dream,” Noor said.

            The risen Christ is still coming to people both in their dreams and in their daily experience. Ask him to come to you, awake or asleep. He’ll show up with empowerment.

            Remember: miracles never cease!

MORE THAN ONE MIRACLE?

Blog 359

September 29, 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.

MORE THAN ONE MIRACLE?

Often, we think of people experiencing a miracle as if that’s a once in a lifetime experience. If you’ve had one, fantastic… but more than one?  One after another? Remember that the miraculous is a product of a divine relationship. Put away your calculator.

            Jodie Berndt discovered this fact when she lived with her younger sister Jennifer’s struggle with colon cancer. Jodie thought the problem was only a disorder. She didn’t understand that Jennifer stood at death’s door. Her sister simply kept her problem to herself until her mother recognized the lump in her stomach required a doctor.  The medical prognosis was immediate. Jennifer had a malignant tumor: cancer.

            But Jennifer immediately turned to and trusted God. She believed her heavenly Father would heal her. As she prayed, the scripture verse came to mind. “Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine…” She knew God had spoken. Miracle one: Jennifer knew she would be healed.

            The story of Jennifer’s resolute faith spread and a local newspaper even wrote an article on her convictions. She was deluged by visitor’s and people she had never met wanting to know about her faith. A woman wrote, “If this teenager can find joy in the Lord, so can I.” The impact spread. Miracle two: others were impacted.

            Jennifer’s tumor had to be removed because it had grown to the size of a grapefruit. The doctors felt there was a good chance that the cancer had spread. To their amazement they could find no trace of cancer anywhere else in Jennifer’s body. It couldn’t be possible, but it was.  Miracle three.

            As a follow-up, a specialist at John Hopkins University examined Jennifer and came back with a conclusion. “It’s very unusual. I can’t even tell she ever had cancer.” Jennifer had recovered in an astonishing amount of time. She reflected, “Even with the physical pain, this has been one of the best times in my life.” Ten years later the physician who removed the tumor wrote, “Contrary to what so-often happens, she is clear of any risk of recurrence.” Miracle four.

            Jennifer’s perspective? Certainly, she was grateful for the healing, but her response was surprising. “The real miracle is in how God used my experience for His glory. I wrote down all the ways He was glorified and I counted more than sixty-five different items.”

            Thanks, Jennifer, for reminding us that glorifying God is the path to the miraculous.
