LARRY WAS BLEEDING TO DEATH UNTIL…

Years ago, Linda Correa asked me if there was a God. I  told her about my experience encountering the light of His presence and that answered her questions. My answer stayed in her mind through the following decades. Last week my wife and I had a delightful evening at Larry and Linda Correa’s home. We had not seen them in years. My answer much earlier came up again when she told me what had happened to Larry.

Larry Correa had developed a physical condition that exploded into a full-scale disaster.  He developed a condition labeled varices that scarred his esophagus and caused bleeding to erupt.  He was rushed to the hospital, hemorrhaging and received four pints of blood. Their nurse daughter Jamie worked in the I.C. Unit and cried out, “Mother, he’s dying!”

Larry survived that moment but spent months in the hospital struggling. Next, he developed septicemia. An enormous boil developed on his foot and then swelling began spreading up his leg. The blood disease is often deadly.

As the complications mounted, the doctors told Linda there was no hope. Larry couldn’t survive all these complications. The infections and blood disease were too great. She was advised to prepare for his demise.

Stunned! Linda felt completely helpless, like a train going off a cliff. Void of all hope, she began driving home in a fog completely out of control. Somewhere on the Kilpatrick Turnpike driving across Oklahoma City, Linda began crying and screamed out, “Oh God! Give me a miracle! Please! Please! Oh Lord, help me!”

Abruptly a friend she hadn’t seen in a long time came to mind and she drove to her house. Linda had no idea the woman was a spiritual person, but she blurted out what had happened with Larry. In turn, the lady began telling Linda about God’s love. When she left, Linda was certain God had heard her prayer.

And the miracle? Larry sat at the table listening to Linda tell me this story. Larry Correa is alive today.

As Linda shared their experience, I was reminded how often when people are pushed beyond their capacities and are desperate that they experience a miracle. When we reach our limits, we stand ready to received our heavenly Father’s limitlessn

Linda told me, “I just stayed too busy to pay attention to what God was saying to me through the years. It took coming to the end of my rope to wake up to what had been there all the time.

Linda made an important discovery. Don’t wait for a disaster to wake you up. Your heavenly Father stands by your side right now. Remember miracles never cease!

NOTHING STOPPED THE DISASTER WHEN…

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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. and the author of 36 books, Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

NOTHING STOPPED THE DISASTER WHEN…

Some miracles cannot be measured by a single event, but must be understood in the context of history. Such is true of Israel.  No nation that was wiped out has ever returned except one; Israel. Fulfilling the prophecy of scripture written over 2,000 years earlier, the Jewish people returned to their promised land. Passages such as Jeremiah 31, Jeremiah 16, and Ezekiel 36 fore saw the Jewish people returning. International politician’s like General George Marshall warned the Jews not to establish a state because the surrounding 8 Arab states would wipe them out. On a Friday, David Ben-Gurion declared Israel a nation. On Monday, swarms of Arabs attacked and lost. How could a tiny, struggling people withstand such an onslaught? Only by a miracle.

Israel has always been a land of miracles. For 2,000 years Jewish families continued to live in the Galilee even after the fall of the Second Temple. In 1900, the Greenberg family returned around the turn of the century and had great success in farming in the Galilee, but in 1915 disaster hit. An overwhelming swarm of locust struck, devouring everything in sight, including all their crops and vegetables!

Farmers rushed into the fields swinging clubs. Children were released from school to help kill the destroyers, but nothing stopped the insects onslaught. The locusts were devouring the fruits and vegetables with the force of a rampaging wild fire.

The Jewish farmers prayed around the supper table and went to bed, hoping to have the energy to attack the locust in the morning. Again, they prayed and prayed and prayed.

In the morning, just as the sun ca me up, one of the farmers looked out the window. The fields were covered with white! He rushed out to see what this meant.

Thousands of white storks had flown in during the night! So many had landed on the locust that the land looked solid white. Out of nowhere, storks had saved the crops. For three days, the huge white birds ate the locust and then left, not to return.

For the next three years, the crops in the Galilee flourished as never before. To this day, the Jews call the event “The Miracle of the Storks.”

When God works miracles, sometimes you see His hand move, sometimes you don’t.  You may need to just keep on looking.

Do miracles still happen? Ask the Jews of Israel. Just remember miracles never cease!

MIRACLE ON THE BATTLEFIELD

Blog 284

March 20, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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. and the author of 36 books, Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

MIRACLE ON THE BATTLEFIELD

One of the ways to understand miracles is to recognize that they are a reflection of the purposes and promises of God. All the promises of God are yes and “so-be-it.” They stand forever even if it takes a millennium to fulfill. Today the nation of Israel is an enduring example of that fact.

In Israel’s 1967 Yom Kippur War, the Israelis were completely caught off-guard. The Syrian Army came pouring in from the Golan Heights and completely outnumbered the Israels. The battle proved to be ugly and bloody. The situation appeared to be fatal for Israel. If the enemy tanks prevailed, the Jews would be driven into the ocean. Only a handful of Israeli military tanks stood against a multitude of Syrian armor ready to wipe them out.

David Yamean called on the armored tanks around him to withstand the onslaught. As commander of the Unit, he called for them to charge. Almost no one moved. They knew it would be suicide.  Nevertheless, Commander Yamean charged forward with only a few following him.  Remembering Auschwitz and the death camps, they would die before surrendering. The small unit of tanks prepared to fight to the finish. As the treads of the wheels rumbled forward, they prayed.

For absolutely no military reason, the Syrian tanks stopped. After a pause, they turned and retreated. David Yamean and the few tanks around him halted, they opened their hatches and couldn’t believe their eyes. The obvious defeat had turned into a stunning victory.

What happened?

At 3:00 in the night Washington, D.C. time, Golda Meier called President Richard Nixon, work him up, and told him the Jewish people were about to be wiped out unless America responded.

Years before Nixon’s mother had told Richard that the Jewish people had a special place in God’s plan for the world. He should always be mindful of them. He was.

Nixon immediately called the Pentagon and told them to prepare to stand behind the Jewish people and to let Syria know they were coming. Consequently, the Syrian tanks were commanded to retreat. Would the Jews have been slaughtered without that withdrawal? No question about it.

Does God keep His promises? The prophet Daniel predicted in 1,335 years the Jews would be blessed. Haggai added that the blessing would come on the 24th day of the 9th month of the year. When one adds up those numbers, they come out on December 9, 1917. On that day the Mayor of Jerusalem gave the keys of the city of Jerusalem to the British General that began the eventual recovery of the city by the Jews.

A miracle? Certainly. Just remember your personal story is of equal interest to your heavenly Father. Claim one of His promises and become part of the history of the miraculous. You are of equal importance to God.

Remember miracles never cease!

A MIRACLE IN A BUCKET

Blog 282

March 6, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

A MIRACLE IN A BUCKET

This past week I was talking with Bart Cooper. I had known Bart’s family for decades, and knew that Bart was one of the outstanding chefs in Oklahoma City. During the conversation, Bart shared with me his struggle with alcohol that began when he was eight years old. Wow!

Unknown to the rest of the world, Bart was molested as a child and that always leaves a festering scar. Moreover, he struggled in his relationship with his father. The mix of those two problems left pain buried in his soul. He didn’t talk about it, but the hurt bubbled up way too frequently.

Through the years, Bart drank way too much with an increasing dependency on alcohol to keep him going. By the time he was 36 years-old, he had been on booze for over a quarter of a century. His daily consumption became mind boggling.

One evening Bart was carrying out a box of vodka bottles to the trash when the realization hit him that he had consumed an incredible volume of this usually strong intoxicant. Standing there before the rubbish container, Bart fully recognized that he was a raging alcoholic and could do nothing about his problem. He was a helpless captive of the bottle.

Looking down into the debris, Bart knew there was nothing he could do about his problem. He was hopeless.

Cold desperation surged through his body. Bart had to have help from beyond himself. With everything he had in the depths of  his very being, he cried out, “Oh, God! Please help me!”

At that moment, Bart had a miracle in a garbage can.

Through the years, I’ve worked with many people struggling with addiction. I know that many have to hit bottom before they realize the scope of their problem. Moreover, without the help of God, most won’t get out of their addiction. The hand of God is crucial if they are going to recover.

That afternoon, Bart walked into the house and called a detox center to begin getting the alcohol out of his system. He entered the program and stabilized his life.

However, only then did Bart realize what had occurred.  At that moment when he stood over a garbage can and called for God’s help, the craving was gone. In a matter of seconds, Bart had become sober with no desire to drink.

“That was a miracle!” Bart said.

Millions of Americans suffer with a similar problem. When they recognize their need, the help is available. A real cure begins in reaching out for the hand of God.

Remember miracles never cease!

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE?

Blog 279

February 13, 2023

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU DIE? 

Several years ago, I wrote CROSSING THE THRESHOLD OF ETERNITY. The book grew out of my interviews with people who had near death experiences. Cindi Pursley, my neighbor in the Colorado Rockies, was a hospice nurse and shared with me some of her observations as people were dying. The accounts quickened my interest and led to fascinating discoveries that are in my book.

What happens at the moment of death?

Recently, I was in a class on the Talmud (the authority on Jewish practice developed from the Torah, the first five books of the Old Testament) when I noticed the person sitting next to me had on a sweat shirt indicating she worked for a hospice. In the ensuing conversation, she related what happened as she watched the moment when a person passed away. Her eyes widened in amazement.

While this blog doesn’t reflect my usual reports on miracles, it can help us comprehend the importance of Eternity, the world beyond. Insight into transcendence better equips us to grasp how the power of God breaks into our world.

Anyone who has observed the moment of death has seen the radical change in the person’s appearance. Something far more significant than a heart stopping occurs. Often, the  change certainly suggests someone leaving their body behind.

As my friend and I were talking a few days ago, she described how she had always wondered how the soul might leave the body. Orah (Hebrew name for anonymity sake) had been intrigued by what might happen. As the person she was working with died, Orah saw a spark of light leap from the body and disappear into the night. Orah was overwhelmed!

Could you see such an event happen? Possibly more often than you might imagine. YouTube now carries a series of pictures and discussions of this same phenomena. Under the heading “Actual Pictures of the Soul Leaving the body” or “What happens at the time of death,” you can see images that will surprise you and may shock some readers. I believe you will find the pictures to be significant. Trick photography? It’s your call but don’t make a quick decision.

Interestingly enough, physician Duncan MacDougall did an experiment with six patients who were dying. He postulated that the soul must weigh something. Dr. MacDougall discovered that after a patient had immediately died, he lost 21 grams. While not scientifically verified, the 21 gram experiment fits the pattern that the “essence” of the person traveled on.

My point? Regardless of what current secular society might think, life and death remain in the hands of God. Our ability to relate to our heavenly Father remains the most significant task of our life… and life does go on. We need to get ready for the future … today.

And remember miracles never cease!

BATTLING THE BOOZE

Blog 269

December 4, 2022

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Robert Wise 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.

BATTLING THE BOOZE

Americans are drowning in a culture of addiction. Everything from drugs to alcohol is sucking people under. The social and political tensions in the current society exacerbate the problem. Groups like Alcoholics Anonymous continue to help people who struggler fight this problem. However, sometimes more is needed.

Here’s additional help.  Miraculous intervention can come through the faith of another person who walks with us through difficult days. Ron Adams (a fictitious name to protect the person’s identity) found that his wife Joyce’s faith made the difference in his recovery. Make no mistake about the fact that an addiction is frighteningly hard to break.

Ron and I became good friends after he gained control over his problem. One evening he told me his story.

During the years that he was an insurance salesman, Ron began drinking heavily. With an outgoing and engaging personality, he tried to cover his constant drinking, but the act failed. Joyce could see his blurry eyes, glazed look, and staggering gait when he came home in the evening. Her faith became the key that unlocked the sealed door in Ron’s mind.

Any possibility of faith in God was non-existent. As his drinking became even more compulsive, Ron had no idea where to turn because he didn’t believe in much of anything and his personal relationship with himself was crumbling by the hour.

However, Ron knew Joyce had a firm and consistent faith in God as well as exhibiting a personal relationship with her heavenly Father. The only thing keeping her staying with him was her unshakable faith. Could she have enough faith to carry them through? Ron believed she did. Desperate, he had no other place to turn. Ron made a decision to hold on to her faith.

That was the turning point.

When Ron wanted to drink, he would talk it over with Joyce. He kept holding onto her faith as his means of staying sober. Joyce kept praying. As the days passed, he stayed away from the booze. Without medication, a therapy group, or outside help Ron found his way to sobriety and a new-found faith. He personally discovered a God who could thwart his compulsion.

Ron believed that he had received a miracle.

If you, or someone you know, can’t handle an addiction, here is a way to that miracle by allowing someone else’s faith to be your support and strength until you find your own. You can act like you believe until you truly do believe. When you struggle throughout the dark, call out to the God who created you. He would be delighted to  bring you into the light and  help you  become whole.

GET YOUR EARS CLEANED OUT!

Blog 267

November 13, 2022

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

GET YOUR EARS CLEANED OUT!

Once miraculous avenue to walk down is learning to hear God speak. Really? Sure thing! For many people that idea would seem utterly impossible –and that includes many people in today’s church. They understand receiving inspiration from reading the Bible or hearing a sermon, but a personal direct message from heaven? Just doesn’t seem possible.

Here’s the good news. It is!

I stumbled onto the possibility some years ago. After a prayer for the continuous  working of the Holy Spirit in my life, I was instructed that guidance often comes in like thoughts that pop up in our thinking. I was instructed to listen to an inner voice and follow what I heard. I quickly discovered that I had found a new path for guidance.

I was later to realize that divine messages also have to be properly deciphered. It’s possible to be guided but not get the interpretation correct. Because we have free will, we have to discern correctly or we can miss the point or get on the wrong path.

Here’s an example.

Leslie Draper is a close friend with a remarkable gift for hearing God speak, but she too has to make sure of the meaning. Here’s one such experience. Leslie was driving down the street when she thought she heard an angelic message. “Leslie’s tires.” Immediately she thought of her friend Leslie Hadley. Was it possible that Leslie Hadley could have a problem with the tires on her car? Leslie Draper immediately called her.

“Go out and immediately check your tires,” Leslie Draper instructed. “I believe something is wrong.”

Leslie Hadley was on her way driving back from Dallas, Texas, but she pulled over immediately and got out. She came back to the cellphone. “No,” she said. “My tires are fine.”

Lesley Draper hung up the phone but was mystified. She was certain that she heard right, but obviously something didn’t fit.

The next day Leslie Draper pulled out of the driveway for a trip to the store. At that moment, she heard a bang and knew a tire was going flat. The tire store personnel came out to change the tire. However when the man checked, every tire was paper thin and driving the car at that moment was highly dangerous.

Did she hear right? Yes. Did she misinterpret? Yes.

Can you discover how to receive direct guidance? Absolutely. Just remember that you need to make sure you understand correctly what you heard. Be tentative until you are certain. Don’t worry, the angels can also help with that.         

And remember. Miracles never cease.

GUERILLAS IN THE MIST

Blog 264

October 23, 2022

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD 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.

GUERILLAS IN THE MIST

Sometimes the intervention of God comes in ways we would never expect. We may even participate unexpectedly without realizing that we are part of the way that the Holy Spirit is at work. Here’s an example.

The family of Margene Earl were Wycliffe Bible Translators in the jungles of south Mexico and often traveled through dangerous territory to get to their work. On one of these occasions, they found themselves trapped by a guerilla team blocking the road. Surrounded by thick jungle, a dense fog descended on them.

Wearing bandanas that marked them as part of an extremist militant group, the bandits pointed their AK-47 rifles straight at the Earl’s car. Because so many people had disappeared in the jungle, Margene was certain they were dead.

She immediately remembered the stories of Brother Andrew smuggling Bibles into Communist countries. God had protected him by blinding the border guards to the Bibles in the backseat of his car. Margene prayed, “God, you blinded the guards to keep from seeing Brother Andrew’s Bibles in his back seat and they let him cross the border. Please God, confuse these men so they cannot understand us and guide them to let us go on.”

Her father rolled down the window and began speaking to the men in Spanish. One of the rebels began trying to talk to Margene’s mother, but she couldn’t understand him. While she was quite capable of speaking and understanding Spanish, Margene started saying in English, “We don’t understand.” She leaned out the window on her father’s side and kept saying. “We don’t understand.”

One of the guerillas motioned for them to move on, but another one jumped in front of the car with his rifle pointed at both parents. Once more Margene screamed in English, “We don’t understand.”

The leader of the rebel turned to the other men and said in Spanish, “They are tourists. They don’t understand. Let them go.” They waved the car on.

Margene realized that God had answered her prayer in exactly the way she asked. For reasons that she couldn’t explain, Margene had spoken in English when she was quite capable of speaking Spanish. The guerillas were confused and ended up  being the ones who didn’t understand. The results were exactly the same as had happened with Brother Andrew.  It was truly a miracle that they had escaped and survived.

The lesson? When you pray, be open to all the possibilities, even ones that seem impossible. Just remember. Miracles never cease.
