BREAKTHROUGH!

            Do we have a part to play in divine interventions? The answer is yes and no. Sometimes the Holy Spirit moves with no initiation from us. At other times we must position ourselves to be receptive. Sometimes even when we have been resistant, we must reposition ourselves. Alice Miller’s experience was like that.

            I was sitting in my office on a Saturday morning when a young woman was abruptly standing in the doorway. Her pained expression said more than any words could. Alice Miller told me this was her last stop before she committed suicide.

            Alice’s husband was a doctor and they had several children. Unfortunately, he wanted out of the marriage to pursue a nurse. She had been blindsided and saw no alternative but to take her life. I asked her to sit down. Since she was certain that she was going to do herself in, I suggested she had nothing to lose by talking a little longer.

            I listened as she described her family and thought that could prevent a rash action. It didn’t. I turned to her faith. She had none.

            Alice told me that she and her doctor husband believed only in science. They had decided there was nothing else. She really didn’t know why she was even talking to me since she couldn’t accept any of my biblical ideas. Obviously, the philosophical and theological arguments I learned in seminary wouldn’t work. But I had a suggestion. Go home and find a solitary room where the children couldn’t bother her. Close your eyes and start talking as if there is a God standing across from you and listening to everything you are saying. Use your imagination. What did she have to lose if she was going to commit suicide any way? Since she did believe in science, try a spiritual scientific experiment.

            The suicide was delayed. I walked her back to her car and told her to call me about the results. A shotgun was laying in the front seat.

            A week later Alice called. She was mystified because something, maybe someone, seemed to be in that empty room with her. I encouraged her to meditate further, pour out her need, open her mind AND heart to the possibility that the Almighty God loved her and wanted to communicate that love.

            A few days later, Alice called with emotion in her voice. New hope and assurance had been given to her life. The Holy Spirit was definitely working in and with her. Forget about suicide.

            Alice Miller did her part. God did his part. She went on to rebuild her life. You might consider trying that same exercise. Get alone. Ask the Holy Spirit to come to you and communicate. Open your mind and emotions to receive the working of God. Just might be the most miraculous thing you’ve ever done.

            Remember miracles never cease.

DISASTER OR

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.

            DISASTER OR

            The man screamed, “I’m going to rape you and dump you in a field. If you want to live, do as I say!” His car shot out of garage and down Monterey Boulevard.  Jenny had immigrated from China and was terrified.

She had taken a job as a waitress when the attacker found her.  When she reached for the car door, the man screamed, “You can’t open it, It’s an automatic lock.” She was desperate.

            The woman had been working two jobs and struggling to learn English. She painfully missed her family so far away across the ocean. The difficulties were reflected in her face. A worn, tired countenance prevailed day and night. As she was serving a young woman, the lady looked up and said, “You seem unhappy. My dear, ought to try prayer. It works.”

            In China, the Communist Party had taught her that religious people were weak and fearful, mental cripples who believed in fairy tales. She had grown up during the Cultural Revolution and been indoctrinated with atheistic philosophy. Like Karl Marx, she believed religion was an opiate, a drug and nothing more

            Abducted by a madman speeding down the highway and about to be attacked or murdered, those political ideas were irrelevant.  She needed a powerful Greater Being who could help her in this terrifying situation. Jenny made a decision to give prayer a try. She closed her eyes and silently cried out, “Dear God, if you exist, please help me.” Jenny inwardly desperately prayed. To her surprise, she felt a calm strength enter her body.

            Suddenly, the car lurched and the tires squealed. The driver had abruptly swerved off the interstate highway into a small town. The evening street lights had come on. Jenny kept praying, “Please God, give me strength.”

            When they stopped at an intersection, she saw a police officer across the street with the car’s red and blue lights flashing. This was her moment of truth. Filled with new spiritual strength, she pulled on the door handle, knowing it wouldn’t open.  It did. The attacker tried to grab her arm, but she jumped out of the car and ran toward the officer.

            The man shot down the street, but an hour later the police apprehended him.

            Jenny knew a divine power had saved her life. Doubts from the past blew away like dust. She discovered the most important things in life -kindness, love, faith- couldn’t be found in a test tube. The more she aligned herself with the power of God, the better her life became.

            Our heavenly Father is always there. Don’t wait for a possible disaster to find out. Can praying make a difference right now? Jenny will tell you that it absolutely does. Her life proves the fact.

AWAKENED TO THE LIGHT

Blog 377

February 23, 2025

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.

            AWAKENED TO THE LIGHT

            Miracles come in all shapes and sizes. Often the divine touch comes in a way that is unexpected. Elaine Stephenson had just such an experience.

            On February 3, 2021, Elaine was finished with her usual early morning two hours of “layered” prayer. Still battling an illness, something unusual started to appear.  A deeply personal vision began to emerge.

            Elaine began picturing her body and ordering all the negatives to leave every part of her. She prayed for Jesus to fill every cell with his healing water followed by his healing touch. Next, she asked for his healing light to surge in.  Elaine began asking for the prayers of the many people who prayed for her need to flow through her body. As the prayer time came to an end, she gave thanks and praise to Jesus for hearing her prayers.

            Almost as an afterthought, Elaine asked, “…Jesus, would you take my sack with you when you go.” She was referring to a hideous, misshaped roll of fat that had formed across her lower abdomen. While struggling with her illness, Elaine had lost a substantial amount of weight in a short period of time. The result had created the bulge around her waist. Elaine had barely gotten those words out of her mouth when she sensed a change.

            Directly in front of her, she envisioned a circle with a line forming in the center, almost like a stick figure being drawn. As the line continued to extend, it started making a letter. In the center of the circle the bold capital letters formed making a giant “I AM.” She immediately thought that Jesus was saying “I AM with you.” Elaine knew her prayers had been answered. Tears began to run down her cheeks.

            ( Exodus 3:13-14 relates that Moses discovered the name of God to be in Hebrew YHWH or  I AM).

            The letter of the I AM glowed boldly across her dark room. Each letter was printed on a shape like a child’s building block. The colors glowed with an other worldly magnificence.  Long after the image fade, the letters were etched in her mind. She was healed.

            Finally, Elaine woke her husband and related the experience. He too was amazed. They agreed her experience must be shared with others. Oh by the way. the sagging sack around her waist was gone.

A MIRACLE IN THE MARKETPLACE

Blog 373

January 19, 2025

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.

A MIRACLE IN THE MARKETPLACE

            Today’s headlines proclaim the potential ceasefire in Gaza and cessation of hostilities in the war. Having traveled in Israel since 1968, I spent lots of time in Jerusalem. I’ve watched the country literally grow out of the dust into the modern world. Let me tell you one of the ways that the hand of God is still moving behind the scenes.

            While working in Israel, Tom Doyle heard many stories about miraculous appearances in the dreams and encounters of Palestinian people. These expressions had a profound affect on these local citizens. Omar is an example of unexpected intervention. He had grown up in a Palestinian refugee camp. The camps left a great deal to be desired and were often hard on children. Omar grew up hating the Jewish people and intended to kill every Jew he could find.

            Omar decided to join Hamas and hoped to create violence. He was on his way to join the terrorist organization when he abruptly was confronted by a man standing in the narrow street around the marketplace. Of course, many people wore long dark robes, but this man had on a bright white robe when he suddenly appeared and pointed at the Palestinian.
            “Omar, this is not the life I have planned for you,” the man in white said.  Turn around. Go home. I have other plans for you.”

            Astonished, Omar did as he was told. Confounded, the Palestinian didn’t know what to do or believe. However, while pondering the situation, he noticed someone was moving into the apartment across the hall from him. After a few inquiries, he discovered the man was a Christian. Maybe he would have insight into who had confronted him in the market.

            “What does this mean?” Omar explained how he had been confronted in the street. “Please, can you help me understand?”

            The man asked Omar into his apartment and showed him a Bible. He began explaining what the scripture said and who this man in white might be. Omar listened intently and realized the “other plan” that the figure spoke of was unfolding before his eyes. The alternative path was opening before him. He would have to follow.

            Omar had walked down the street determined to be an extremist and a terrorist. What was he today? Omar is an underground church planner, bringing peace to his people.

            Ever have a dream that rocked you? Would it be possible to be confronted by a “stranger” who had a message for you? Could you receive an unexpected insight or discovery that changed the direction you were taking? Certainly.

            Our heavenly Father communicates with us in many ways. The challenge is to be open. Pause right now and breathe a simple prayer. “Father, I will receive whatever you wish to give me or what path you want me to take.”

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

 Remember miracles never cease.

THE GREATEST MIRACLE

Blog 370

December 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 with persons who experienced the touch of God.

THE GREATEST MIRACLE

As I look toward the New Year, I ask myself a question. Out of the multitude of miracles I’ve encountered and discovered, what is the greatest miracle? If you’d go back and review my stories that span more than four years, you’ll discover amazing results as the hand of God moved. But what was the greatest one of all?

            The stars in the sky and the systematic rotation of the seasons year after year through countless centuries offer their response. Even with the painful political nonsense we have had to endure, the world still continues on its way intact. Nations come; nations go. But we exist in a world governed by an unseen power that maintains order even when we degenerate into corruption, strife and combat.

            Why?

            Because we have a Heavenly Father who loves us regardless of our sacrilege, inadequacies, and inconsistencies. Even if we do not turn to Him, his love endures. The love of God continues unabated to the end of time. That, my friend, is the greatest gift of all.

            Oh, and 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 FOUND IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BREATHE UNTIL

Blog 360

October 13, 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 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!
