DREAMS? WHEN THE FIGURE APPEARED…

DREAMS? WHEN THE FIGURE APPEARED…

            Last week, I wrote about the figure of Jesus the Christ appearing in the dreams of Muslims. Many people wanted to know more about these occurrences. One of the people I mentioned was Tom Doyle. His book Dreams and Visions: Is Jesus Awakening the Muslim World? (Thomas Nelson) describes these experiences in detail. You will find his observations fascinating.

            Working as a missionary for over five years, Doyle was initially skeptical but began hearing over and over about Muslims having dreams and visions of Jesus. One woman claimed a vision of the curtains she should buy for her 10,000 square-foot house. Doyle just didn’t believe God operated like that. He discovered he was wrong.

            As he listened to many people, Doyle realized that God rescues people in ways that more conservative people like Tom weren’t use to recognizing. An Egyptian named Hassan helped change his mind.

            Having become a believer, Hassan tried to share his faith without being found out in a city hostile to the Christian faith, but his personal story leaked out. He was waking up one morning when he felt the muzzle of a gun in his face.

            “Don’t say a word,” the kidnapper said. “Get up and come with me.”

            As Hassan stumbled through the darkness, he could feel the gun in his back. Hassan was sure he was on his way to an execution. His kidnapper forced him into an old warehouse. Hassan was certain he would not see the light of day again. As he walked along, the young man whispered, “Jesus, into Your hands I commit my spirit.”

            Hassan was forced into a foreboding room lit by only one single candle. The dim light revealed ten Muslim men circling him and ordering him to sit down. They stared at him.

            Finally, the kidnapper spoke. “We are all imams who studied at Al-Azhar University. During that time, each of us had a dream about Jesus and each of us has privately become a follower of Christ. We each prayed to know what this means and He has brought us together. Now we meet three times a week in secret to better know how to follow him. He led us to you.”

            The gun, the kidnapping had all been a ruse to avoid being caught in a Muslim city where great danger would have followed. The meeting concluded with one question. “Will you teach us the Bible.”

            All because of dreams.                     

            And you? Listen to your dreams. You may be surprised by what you discover.           

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

OUT OF THEIR DREAMS APPEARED …

Blog 313

October 23, 2023

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.

OUT OF THEIR DREAMS APPEARED …

            As the attacks on Israel unfold, the Middle East erupts in fire. In the midst of the chaos, we must remember that Jesus was a Jew and Christianity grew out of Judaism. One wonders where the Hand of God is in this current war. It may surprise you to learn that in the last couple of decades more Muslims have become Christians than in the previous 1400 years. The cause? Supernatural visions and dreams.

            This means that the miraculous appearances of Jesus Christ remain one of the most significant spiritual awakenings in the world today. Here’s some examples.

            Living in Jerusalem, Rami had been a fervent Muslim before he started to dream about Jesus. Out of nowhere arose these vibrant appearances. His dreams were not vague, but bright and completely focused when Jesus appeared in a white robe. In his dream, Rami went over and embraced Jesus. When he awoke, Rami made decisions that changed his life.

            Of course, the Bible is filled with stories of God speaking through dreams.  In the Old Testament Jacob’s dream ladder in the night is such an encounter. (Genesis 28:10-16)  The New Testament starts with Joseph’s dream instructing him to take the baby Jesus and Mary to Egypt. (Matthew 2:13-14). Dreams have been one of the ways God speaks to humanity.

            Tom Doyle worked as a Christian in Cairo. As he was walking through the crowded market place, a Muslim woman started yelling, “You’re the one! You’re the one!” Noor pushed through the crowd toward Tom. “You were in my dream last night. Those clothes—you wearing the clothes. For sure it was you!”

            Noor explained that Doyle was in her dream when Jesus appeared. He walked with her beside a lake and told her how much he loved her. The woman had never experienced such love and peace in her life. As Jesus prepared to leave, he told her to find Tom Doyle the next day and he would explain what she needed to know about why Jesus visited her in her sleep. Jesus told her that Tom Doyle would be wearing the exact clothes he now had on. That was how she recognized him in the crowded marketplace.

            Noor responded, “For the first time in my life, I felt no shame. … I felt perfect peace.” The encounter completely came in a dream.

            On Pentecost, Peter predicted, “Your young men shall see visions and your old men dream dreams. (Acts 2:17) These visions and dreams continue to happen.

            In the mist of Israel’s war with Hamas, terrible things will follow. People will be killed. Nevertheless, our Heavenly Father is not silent. Even in the dark of night, God continues to speak.

            And you? Listen to your dreams. You may be surprised by what you discover.           

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

AN UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY WHEN…

Blog 310

October 2, 2023

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 UNEXPECTED DISCOVERY WHEN …

            In a recent blog, I reported the medical discovery that if the heart stops the brain doesn’t die but goes into hibernation for some time. This sheds new scientific light on many of the near-death experiences I have reported over the years. Because of this breakthrough, Mark Gober became interested in understanding near-death experiences for which science has no explanation.

            Rather than relate a miraculous experience, today I want to share a new insight. Next week I’ll have another miracle story for you. For those who follow these amazing stories, you will find confirmation that you are on the right track. Moreover, you will discover more undergirding truth for your own quest.

            Having studied economics at Princeton with the intention of becoming an investment banker, Mark Gober realized science couldn’t explain these remarkable near-death journeys into eternity.  His quest for insight caused him to write The End of Upside Down Thinking: Dispelling the myth that the Brain Produces Consciousness and the Implications for Everyday Living.

            During his academic years, Mark Gober thought about the universe and human existence. Questions like whether there is meaning to life haunted him. As he pondered these issues, scientific proof convinced him that psychic phenomenon were real. Experts working independently of each other were coming to the same conclusion. Gober studied reports of near-death experiences where a blind person could see and the deaf could hear. As he wrestled with these accounts, Mark began to come to a conclusion. Maybe the missing piece in our understanding was how we perceived consciousness.

            He was shocked to find that academic institutions like the University of Virginia were studying this exact problem. Gober began to believe that there is a consciousness outside of our brain and physical bodies.  If all of this is true, he realized we need to make a paradigm shift. Science was telling him there is something spiritual in the universe that is beyond our typical senses. Gober had once thought anything spiritual or religious was primitive superstition. Setting those ideas aside, he saw that meaning is built into the fabric of reality and there is purpose to our lives. He concludes, “The more I learn, the less I feel that I know. But one thing I feel certain about is that there’s more for science to discover.”

            While this blog is not an account of a miraculous occurrence, it offers consolation to my readers. Science is catching up with us. These unusual stories have been giving us important clues to the Reality that transcends this world.  You can believe with confidence that you are following an eternal pattern that is at the heart of our universe. Don’t back down but charge straight ahead. Faith will take you beyond where science has gone.

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

GRIEF SWALLOWED HER UNTIL…

Blog 307

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.

GRIEF SWALLOWED HER UNTIL…

            Mit and Mary Lou Parsons have been friends for years. Last week they invited me over for supper. Still struggling with jet lag from my trip back from Ireland, the invitation felt like a godsend as I was still trying to get myself fully functioning again. While dining, we started discussing miraculous experiences. Out of the clear blue, Mary Lou told me this story.

            Fifteen-year-old Mary Lou had grown up in Billings, Montana. A normal high school age kid, she had a boy friend named Philip Lewis. Phil always wanted a particular sport coat which he finally got. Life seemed perfect.

A group of friends decided to take a boat trip down the Yellowstone Rive and float back to Billings. Unfortunately, the river was in flood stage but they went anyway.

            On Saturday, Mary Lou got a phone call. One of the boys could take her to Columbus where she could join the trip. Mary Lou knew she could talk her mother into letting her go, but this time she hit a wall. Her mother wouldn’t allow it. She was absolutely definite. No!

            Sunday afternoon Mary Lou got the phone call. Phillip had drowned in the Yellowstone River!

            Mary Lou was crushed. As the details came in, she was overwhelmed. Apparently in the flooding river, the boat had capsized. Phillip stayed with the craft, hoping to get it to shore but the current swept him next to a log and the vessel smashed into him, crushing his chest.

            When Mary Lou went to the funeral home, she found Phillip resting in that sport coat he loved. She was broken beyond words.

            While preparing for the funeral, another call came in. Her beloved grandmother had just passed away. Two deaths in two days? She couldn’t stand the losses. Never before had she experienced death and now darkness seemed to swallow her. The pain was uncontrollable. Laying in her bed that night, Mary Lou sobbed. She didn’t think she could stand bearing the tragedies. With tears streaming down her face, she cried out, “God help me!”

            Abruptly a great hand appeared in the darkness and pressed against her chest. Mary Lou knew it was the hand of God. The gentle pressure of this giant hand seemed to emanate solace and comfort, taking her staggering grief away.  A comfort beyond words flooded through her body. She knew God was with her and she could endure the unendurable. 

            The hand of God is still reaching into brokenness when hope seems to be gone. The contact always brings a miracle. When you need consolation, just reach for the touch. Our heavenly Father seems to work best when all else is gone.

            Remember. Miracles never cease.

HOPE WAS GONE UNTIL SHE …

Blog 299

July 10, 2023

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.

HOPE WAS GONE UNTIL SHE …

Perhaps, you’ve never given much thought as to what occurs in Holy Communion. Some churches view the sacrament as only a memory of the past. We believe in the “Real Presence,” meaning Jesus meant what he said in Mark 14:22-23 “Take eat this is my body.” Many people affirm the fact without appropriating the reality. Jesus Christ can be really present to us. (Of course, that’s miraculous.)

This past week I observed Penny Randall receiving the promise.

I’ve known Penny for a number of years as we are both authors.  Her forthcoming book is about her adventures in Africa. However, she shared with me a chronic problem that could eventually swallow her life in pain if not medically treated. Her ulcerated colon threatened her ongoing well-being. Moreover, a shoulder injury had been medically diagnosed as demanding a shoulder replacement surgery. She wanted to know about angels because fear had been swallowing her emotionally. Penny was crying out for help.

I suggested an alternative. Wearing my priestly attire and stole, we would gather some friends and have Holy Communion, a Eucharist and ask the manifest reality of Jesus Christ to touch Penny’s physical struggles. As she received the elements, she would ask the risen Christ literally to fill her life.

Earlier, I had learned that the Faithful who know Jesus is there in Holy Communion, often don’t appropriate what His presence promises. I instructed Penny to receive the bread and wine and ask the risen Christ to fill her life with Himself and come as a healing presence.  After receiving the elements, I ask Penny to allow the Savior to fill her inner life and restore her body and soul. As she prayed, I silently slipped away and left her house.

On Monday, Penny took a medical exam for the ulcerated colon. The result? The internal medicine doctor found no sign of an ulcerated colon.

Two days later she had an orthopedist examine her shoulder for a replacement. The orthopedist advised her, “Let’s forget about an operation and replacement. Your shoulder is so much better, there’s no reason to do something else.”

The manifest reality of the risen Christ in the sacrament had brought recovery and healing into Penny Randell’s body and life. A miracle? You bet. Could that happen to you. Absolutely. Find a church that believes in the Real Presence in the bread and the wine. As people are being served, ask Jesus to fill you with Himself. Christ in you; you in Christ. It’s just that basic.

Remember miracles never cease!

AND THE ANGEL SAID…

Blog 296

June 19, 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.

AND THE ANGEL SAID…

            This past week’s headlines have been filled with stories of amazing divine intervention. While a miracle tends to be more instantaneous, interventions are more extended encounters with the power of God breaking in. The news reports poured in about four children ranging in age from 13 years to one year old being were found alive 40 days after their small airplane crashed in the Amazon jungle.  The parents were killed in the crash. The phrase repeated over and over was ,”It’s a miracle!” At the same time, the French “backpack hero” fought off a knifeman attacking children in Le Paquier Park. The hiker had been visiting cathedrals to encourage his faith. The only name he would give was Henri, but said his devout faith gave him the courage and the strength to fight off the attacker.

            Divine interventions indeed!

            Here’s another interview to think about. My friend Christy Clark was running a fever of 105 degrees. She took Tylenol and fell asleep without any idea how long she laid there. Pneumonia was dragging her to the bottom. Christy awakened when a glowing angel appeared. The guiding angel lifted her up and Christy looked back on her body still laying on the bed. They passed through the bedroom wall with sparklers of reds, blues, yellows and greens flashing around them.  Christy found herself in a wonderfully peaceful place with other angels. She was ready to stay forever.

            The guiding angel talked with other angelic beings and then told Christy she must go back. Even though Christy resisted, the guiding angel insisted it was not her time yet. She still had lots of work left to do and people to help. Abruptly, Christy returned to her room, looking down on her body. Without any idea how it happened, she was back in her body.

            Christy had heard of near-death experiences, but never expected to have one. Now she realized she had just had the experience. She was left with the conclusion that when her time comes, she’d cross over to the most wonderful place that ever existed. She lives with that assurance today.

            Divine interventions still happening? All the time.

            You can trust your thinking and believing to that fact. Just remember, miracles never cease!

HIS HEART STOPPED AND…

Blog 294

June 5,2023

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.

HIS HEART STOPPED AND…

            Several years ago, I described Ron Carte’s extraordinary encounter with eternity. A week or so I talked with Ron and felt you’d want to hear his story again. Ron lives not far from me in Edmond, Oklahoma where he once oversaw several banks. He had switched to involvement in a construction company and was on his way to the office when his heart stopped and the extraordinary journey began.

            The heart stoppage caused him to veer off the street and crash into a tree. Ron passed out, but when he became conscious, he could smell gasoline. The emergency crew had arrived on the scene and began pulling him through the smashed car window. Ron was rushed to the Heart Hospital in Oklahoma City.

            Immediately taken into the operating room, the doctor began the procedure to implant a pace maker. Unfortunately, the physician placed the small wire in the wrong vein, resulting in a massive stroke.

            The medical machine monitoring his heart beat dropped to a zero.  Ron was dead.

            But where was he?

            Ron was walking through a garden that he surmised must be in heaven. Walking down a cobblestone path, he saw a figure standing by the gate at the end of the garden. The man had shoulder length hair and was wearing a robe.  Ron called to him. “Hey, Buddy, where am I?”

            The man said, “Ronnie, don’t worry. I am here.”

            No one had called him Ronnie except his mother.

            “Take my hand,” the man said.

            Instantly all pain vanished. Ron’s heart trouble ceased. Extraordinary peace flooded over him.

            “Can I stay here?” Ron asked. Never had he experienced such tranquility.

            “It’s not your time,” Jesus said.  “You’ve got to go back and tell everyone what you’ve seen. Gather your children and grandchildren around. Don’t worry about the details. I will send my knowledge to you through the Bible.”

            And Ron was back in a hospital bed.  Alive.

            Ron knew his destiny was to share this experience and has done so ever since. For example, he discovered an old friend in Florida was dying of cancer. He called, shared his story, and assured the man that his profession of the Christ would take him to heaven. The friend thanked him profusely. The next day he died.

            Ron continues telling the story to anyone who listens. Heaven is wonderful and a Savior is waiting there. By the way, that includes you.

            Remember miracles never cease!

WHERE GRACE APPEARED

Blog 266

May 29, 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.

WHERE GRACE APPEARED

Most of these miracle blogs have been intended to help people discover divine breakthroughs, but along the way I’ve found that many, many people already believe in the promise. Even in a time of skepticism, 73% of Americans believe in heaven. A higher percent believe in a divine being. The problem for many is accessing the promises that comes with faith. Perhaps, we need to explore “how” we receive the miraculous more than only exploring the “fact” of their existence. Here’s an example of “how.”

Rev. Beth Owen worked in the Church of the Holy Spirit, ministering primarily to women. One young woman had struggled for a long time trying to conceive a baby. She and her husband had been concerned for a period of years and had almost come to the conclusion that conception was not possible. The young women arrived in Beth’s office in a state of desperation. She wanted prayer.

Beth was keenly aware of the admonition in James 5:14 for the leaders of the church to pray over the needy and anoint them with oil. The scriptural promise was that the prayer of the faithful would bring recovery to the sick person. Beth’s custom was to take this passage literally and do what it said.

After anointing the young woman with oil, Beth began praying for her in accord with the scripture. As she prayed, Beth felt a strong sensation come over her. She was certain the young women would conceive.

Nine months later, a baby was born.

What was the “how” in this divine intervention? First, the young woman’s desperation brought her to the church as the place where grace was poured out. She positioned herself to receive in faith. Second, Beth ministered to her according to the scripture, following a specific direction from the Bible. Third, Beth experienced an inner assurance that the matter was covered by God’s provision. The “how” was conveyed through the church.

Beth was always careful in sharing this story not to give other couples a false sense of security, but she continued to minister with results.

So, how do you relate to this “how?” You might want to take the ministry of the church more seriously than you have in the past. Finding an inspired clergyperson can be the key. Just remember. Miracles never cease.
