WITCHES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD?

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

WITCHES IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD?

A couple of weeks ago, I walked into a local restaurant and noticed the server had a pentagram hanging around his neck. Chancing he might be offended, I asked, “Are you a witch?” He looked at me hauntingly and said, “I wish!” Are witches around? You bet.

While Halloween raises the issue, this isn’t about the holiday. In 1990, there were around 800 Wiccan Witches in the country. The most recent estimate projects there are now 800,000. That’s a garage full!

Here’s how the growth works.

Last week a friend noticed that the cosmetic shop she frequented had crystal and strange objects everywhere as well as a large pentagram on the front door. Ralph, the rather effeminate owner, kept talking about the latest beauty offerings while also chattering about Wicca and what this strange organization could do for the customers. My friend tried to invite him to church but he resisted vehemently. Didn’t like churches in any form!

In the mist of this, one of the customers stated that she was having trouble with her estranged husband and wanted him to stay away. Ralph had a suggestion. “Bring me a lock of his hair and I’ll fix your problem. A few days later, the women returned with a cutting of hair.

“I’ll drop the hair in this jar with a special solution I make up,” Ralph explained. “That’ll do the trick. He’ll stay away.” Apparently, the man didn’t come back.

My friend found this disturbing and decided to check out Ralph on the internet. To her shock, good old Ralph had a website selling a wide assortment of products for witches and witchcraft. Ralph was a full-fledged witch… or warlock.

Laying movies and folklore aside, Wicca witchcraft is spiritual rebellion and resistance to our heavenly Father, often manifesting through curses, hexes, incantations, or subtle words of judgment against others. The Bible warns that witchcraft is detestable to God and incompatible with His will (Deuteronomy 18:10-14, Galatians 5:19-21) Battling witchcraft involves spiritual vigilance, prayer, scripture, and the use of God’s authority to protect your mind, heart, and life from spiritual attacks. Keep your eyes open. Take it seriously.

We’re not carving a pumpkin or decorating with dried corn stalks. We are dealing with a spiritual force in today’s world, a creation from the dark side. Long after Halloween, take seriously that these forces are still hard at work.

Protect yourself by staying all from all such expressions. Keep your eyes on only one source of blessing, your heavenly Father.

Remember miracles never cease.

VEXATIONS! REALLY?

MIRACLE BLOG 454

October 13, 2026

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.

VEXATIONS! REALLY?  

            For several weeks, we have been exploring how evil entices people like spiders luring a fly into their web.  We’ll take another look and examine our awareness of how good people can fall victim to bad things. I’ll bet you’ve never heard of vexations?

            When people are under direct evil attack, they may discover marks on their bodies.
Sometimes they look like scratches and the person can’t understand where they came from. The attack may be more serious resulting in bruises or burns. The individual has no idea where those purple blotches originated.  In rare violent cases, even a bone could be broken. Sounds far out? Certainly, but when people are already struggling mentally or emotionally, they may not pay careful attention to what’s happening around them.

            My point? Don’t underestimate the persistence and ferocity of Evil. When the demonic finds a vulnerable victim, it won’t give up easily. Once a person is fully possessed by Evil, they are marked and recurrent attacks have to be dealt with.

            Let’s consider several more tendencies that signal the demoniac hordes are after someone. They may feel drawn toward excess. For reasons beyond hunger or physical need, they want to gorge themselves and do. Even picking up excessive weight won’t slow them down. Very similar, many begin to isolate themselves. The person can withdraw from normal relationships.  Trouble is ahead.

            Jack and Mary Sloan were happily married but couldn’t conceive a baby. A friend suggested they visit with Madame Alice (anonymous name) who specialized in crystals, herbs, strange concoctions, as we’ll as private counseling. Alice liked her and got into the Madame’s program full force.

            As time went by, Jack began to notice that Mary was taking on characteristics that she’d never had before. Mary became irritable, sullen and wouldn’t express herself as she had done previously. She shunned her old friends and hid in the bedroom. Finally, Jack noticed unusual bruises inside her arms. Mary was rushed to a pastor who had the knowledge to pray for such a problem. After a couple of session, Mary recovered.

            Take Evil seriously and stay aware that you are a target. Don’t allow unexpected tendencies to lead you down a blind alley that turns into a dead-end street. God’s plan is to keep you from these distractions. Remember Peter’s advice; “Your enemy the Devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (I Peter 5:8)

          Remember miracles never cease.

ATTACK TIME! 

MIRACLE BLOG 451

September 20, 2026

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.

ATTACK TIME! 

            In the previous exploration of how evil affects people, we discovered that one of the strategies that every last one of us faces is personal attack. The demonic world has your name and knows almost more about you than you know about yourself. Evil is perpetually after YOU.

            Yeah, I know that sounds like Halloween, but it is a fact. The Scripture warns us to be aware. “Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” (Ist Peter 5:8) In previous generations, we took this as a general warning to put in the back of our mind for extreme circumstances. I’m sorry to tell that the extreme circumstances are here!

            We are now witnessing a renewed attack of evil across the world in all institutions and under every circumstance. Hate to tell you… but that includes YOU.

            So, how can you know when Evil has you in the gun sights? Last week we explored how our thinking can be attacked. Let’s add to that list.

            A slow creeping feeling begins to grow in your mind and you feel drawn to something that you know is wrong. The urge becomes stronger until you finally act in a way that you know you shouldn’t. How does Evil begin an attack on you? By using the insignificant as a weapon.

I once had a Roman Catholic nun come to me for help because she was haunted by something she had done in the 2nd grade. She stole a friend’s pencil and that opened a door to being haunted by evil virtually ever since. Didn’t amount to anything but the action didn’t leave her mind – for years.  Sound silly? Not to a struggling good woman. The Evil One used her kind heart and sincerity as an opening for attack. A little thing stuck in her conscience and grew into a monster. Strange but makes the point. Starts small; grows bigger. Finally, defeats.

            Everyday we feel urges like “cheat on your income tax, stretch the truth, take more than you have coming to you, tell a little lie, just cheat a little on a test, on and on.” You tell yourself that it can’t hurt you and no one will know anyway. Google your next-door neighbor and feel lust, become so angry you are ready to do a former friend bodily harm etc. etc… Eventually that little thought begins growing.

 Take a look at your life and develop the list of what is pulling on you when you know the action is wrong.

            Sound small? Sure. That’s how it all beings. Remember that old song “Little Things Mean A lot.”  Evil certainly does and begins attacking us with what is trivial. The Apostle Peter offered this advice. “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert (Ist Peter 5:7-8). That’s an important way you can avoid “attack time.”   

            Remember miracles never cease.

RECOVERING FROM YOUR BLINDNESS

MIRACLE BLOG 446

August 18, 2026

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.

RECOVERING FROM YOUR BLINDNESS

               What you can’t see, can’t hurt you.  Really?

               Have you ever considered how much of your life depends on what you can’t see? Sure, we believe that we don’t get involved with what we can’t physically observe. But take a second look. Can you see those radio waves floating across your room at this moment bringing you the latest football scores or rock ‘in pop songs? Ever see one of those viruses that make you sick? Anybody watch Covid come through their window? No, but we all ran to get vaccinated to save us from the invisible. You turn on your television without giving a thought to the fact that what comes on that screen is supplied by invisible picture waves. By the way, how do those rocket ship trips to the moon get their messages to earth? We just accept the fact that invisible radio frequencies send the communiques.  That’s the key word: invisible.

            We grow up accepting the fact that the unseen just “happens.”  Machines decipher the invisible whether we pay attention to the fact or not. Sorry, most people’s faith is only in the visible.

            That’s one of the main reasons we have a problem recognizing Evil in our world. We don’t see evidence of the existence of the demonic. But wait a minute…. you’re not considering the facts right in front of you. What is the primary cause of murder, assaults, attacks on children, the horrors of war? Evil has always made that its primary target. Are humans involved? Sure. Just like they are involved in transmission of television and electronic waves. However, people are still the vehicles for pain, injury, and death.

            It’s time to get visible about the invisible.

            Recently, we began working with a woman who wanted to kill herself. The strange effects happening in her house were driving her over the edge. Rhonda saw orbs of light shoot through the house. Bizarre beating on the walls echoed like someone hammering on the walls with a crowbar. The sounds got even louder at night.

            Rhonda Higgins couldn’t begin to understand what was turning her home into a haunted house. Sure, she’d lived a loose and less than moral life. All semblance of faith had long since disappeared, but she didn’t consider that this had anything to do with the problem. What she could see was keeping her from what she couldn’t see.

            As a last resort, Rhonda came for spiritual help. Took a number of sessions of deliverance prayer to set her free, but Rhonda recovered. She said restored faith was like “having new eyes.”

            What had happened? Jesus had healed her eyes just as he did the blind man. Don’t allow yourself to wander around in spiritual darkness. Ask the Heavenly Father to remove the scales from your spiritual eyes. Make the invisible become visible.

            Remember: miracles never cease!

WHERE EVIL GROWS

MIRACLE BLOG 445

August 16, 2026

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.

WHERE EVIL GROWS

For the last two weeks, I’ve been exploring the source of evil. Whether we believe in it or not, we are all affected by the demoness (or agents) of corruption. The Bible has an insight you may have missed. “The reason the son of God appeared was to destroy the devil’s work. (I John 3: 8) Certainly sounds like a war going on!

            We have been warned to avoid “the world” which is how the scriptures express Evil at work around us. Let’s call it “the System.”  The System is the work Evil performs around us every day of the week, 7-24. So far, we’ve learned The System principally operates through sex, money, and power. (I John 2:16) The inordinate desire for lust and greed have been explored. Let’s look at the craving for power. The relentless quest for ascendency and position makes one vulnerable to the control of The System that will eventually destroy us. The desire to be all powerful not only corrupts, but kills. Here’s an example.

            Few people in history have the overwhelming desire for power that was true of Heinrich Himler, the head of the dreaded Nazi Gestapo. On May 20, 1945, British soldiers arrested a German soldier on the Berweverde bridge that is about twenty-five miles from the town of Luneberg. The man looked like a typical Wehrmacht German soldier. Now dressed in civilian attire, his papers said his name was Hitzinger. He had a bandage around his head that covered his right eye. Something didn’t fit. The man was arrested and taken to a military police station.

For three days, the soldiers interrogated Hitzinger. Finally, the pressure became too great and he confessed. “My name is Heinrich Himler,” the creator of the dreaded Gestapo.

            The Brits didn’t believe him and made the man strip. Covering him with a blanket, they began a scrupulous search of is body. When they started to search his mouth, Himmler bit down on a cyanide capsula concealed in a tooth and died instantly.

            Three days later, Himmler was buried in an ignorable pit of dirt in the forest where his grave is lost. The man who claimed to be the reincarnation of Emperor Henry I disappeared in the dust. A product of The System.

            The point? We are meant to be humble servants of the Most High. That takes us out of The System and places us in the Kingdom of God that endures forever. Here’s the answer we need in dealing with The System. “If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.” (II Chronicles 7:14) That’s where we must stand in a time like today.

GUESS WHO IS WATCHING YOU?

MIRACLE BLOG 441

July 19, 2026

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.

GUESS WHO IS WATCHING YOU?

            If you haven’t noticed, we are in warfare. Evil is at war with Good and the battles rage on through the centuries. Wars like Afghanistan, Iraq and now Iran are symptomatic of the larger on-going struggle between the Divine and the demonic. In the struggle, Evil has had many names like Lucifer, Satan, Beelzebub, Abaddon, Belian, Apollyon, the list goes on and on. Because Evil keeps changing disguises, the names change.

            Our ancestors knew better than we do that this warfare involves spies and agents working for the dark side. The generic name for one of these instruments of Evil is witches. May jar you to discover they are still around and increasing in number. One estimate suggests that there are 1.5 to 2 million witches in American. Often going under the name Wiccan, the increase is startling. Trinity College’s American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) recorded about 8,000 Wiccans in 1990, 134,000 in 2001, and 340,000 by 2008 — a more than 40‑fold increase. The war is far from over!

            It may surprise you to discover that there are different categories of witches: crystal witches, green witches, eclectic witches, ceremonial witches, sea witches, etc. Each category claims to have their own unique skills. Probably, you’ve watched the portrayal of witches on TV in shows from Charmed, Hocus Pocus, Bewitched, to Sabrina the Teenage witch.  We laughed because we didn’t take the programs seriously. Unfortunately, these caricatures were meant to entertain not inform. Here’s what happened to friends of mine when they encountered the real thing.

            Mike and Susan Crane were young clergy coming back from a trip to Muskogee, Oklahoma when they stopped by a Braum’s restaurant and ice cream business. Through the front window, they could see a woman sitting at one of the tables. With her hair tied back in a multi-colored scarf, her puffy blouse sleeves and long dark skirt gave her the appearance of a gypsy.

            The Cranes walked in and Susan whispered to Mike, “That woman certainly looks strange.” From clear across the large room, the gypsy appearing woman laid her spoon down and turned toward the Crane’s. “It’s not nice to talk about people!” She shouted and then turned back to eating.

            People around the restaurant stared. Shocked, the Cranes hurried to order and leave. As they turned toward the door. The woman stood up and yelled. “You and your kind are an abomination to me. You are of the light and I am of the darkness! Leave me!”

            The couple knew they had met a witch.

            Don’t toy with witches of any kind as well as fortune tellers, palm readers, Tarot cards and Ouija Boards. Contemporary sorceresses don’t ride broomsticks, but they do come down your street in a car. Just remember a war is going on and they are part of the troops on the other side. You and yours are meant to walk in the Light, not darkness. Don’t be afraid because the Light has already won.

            Remember miracles never cease.

THE SHADOW IN THE BEDROOM

MIRACLE BLOG 440

July 14, 2026

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 SHADOW IN THE BEDROOM

The movies have trivialized serious issues that can descend on you and your house. In previous blogs, I identified various ways that Evil affects us.  Of course, many of these experiences are difficult to talk about, but they must be recognized. We need to know that the hand of God can stay these attacks.

Ever hear of a poltergeist? The idea prompted an American horror film about a family stalked and terrorized by a group of ghosts, led by a demon known as the Beast, attracted to the youngest daughter, Carol Anne. That wasn’t all there was to the story. The woman who played Dana Freeling in the movie was hacked to death with an axe later. Does give one pause to reflect.

I had such an encounter with a poltergeist. During an exhibit, I met a charming woman who told me her ministry was bringing deliverance to homes that are haunted. Mary Sue invited me to join a deliverance they were performing that very Friday evening. My wife and I showed up to watch her team wire up the house with monitors to catch the slightest sound and motion.

“The problem seems to be in the back bedroom and adjoining bath,” Mary Sue told me. “Let’s go back there and see what happens.”

All the lights were turned off and the monitor set. As my wife and I sat in the dark, Mary Sue suggested I lay on the bed and quietly see what follows.

As sprawled out, I heard a voice distinctly say, “I didn’t tell you to come! Get out!”

I looked around. No one else heard a sound.

“I hate these people!” the voice screamed. “You can’t make me leave. Now you get out of this house right now before I attack you!”

I like to think I’m a big boy, but I must confess the voice scared me to death! Mary Sue hollered, “You heard something, didn’t you?” I barely answered, “Yes.” I crawled off the bed and we went home. There was no doubt whatsoever that I had been communicating with a poltergeist.  It wasn’t an interesting idea but a terrifying sensation.

The next morning, I sat down at the breakfast table and left my cellphone on the counter. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the phone move by itself, slide forward and crash to the floor. Again, I was stunned! I immediately called Mary Sue to get her opinion on this bizarre experience. She casually said, “Oh, the spirit must have followed you home.”

My point? There is a greater reality than what you ever saw in the scary movies. From Jacob Marley at Christmas to the The Amityville Horror, these realities are not to be toyed with. The New Testament is filled with stories of Jesus casting out these entities. Jesus had and has total control and domination over all forms of evil. His power continues to this day. Don’t be hesitant to use it. He will be present.

Remember miracles never cease.

THE WOMAN OF DARKNESS

MIRACLE BLOG 439

July 5, 2026

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 WOMAN OF DARKNESS

Previously, we explored Father Al Martin’s problem (anonymity for privacy) with lustful thinking. No matter what he did, salacious thoughts kept returning. The impulse to look at women lustfully was always there. He didn’t know what to do.

The source of the problem? Somewhere along the way Al Martin had picked up what’s been called an incubus spirit that also particularly works on women. In the past, this evil entity has been credited with causing sexual assaults as well as spiritual corruption. The incubus spirit works especially at night.

Using one of the ancient liturgies of the church, the incubus spirit was cast out. Al felt immediate relief. The spirit was gone. But this was only half of the problem. A woman dressed in black kept showing up in the back of the church and staring at Fr. Al. She always left before he could speak to her. Who was this woman in the back in black? Sounds wild but was a fact.  A witch.

While this might sound like a prank from Halloween, witches are out there and increasing in number. For some unknown reason, this woman had descended on Fr. Al and probably had been encouraging the work of the incubus demon.  Al Martin belonged to Jesus Christ so he couldn’t be owned by the demonic forces, but he could feel oppressed and influenced by their attack.  As strange as it may seem, these witches of the night can also bring hexes and curses. Part of their training teaches them to have access to release destructive behavior. Yes, I know sounds far out and like a horror movie. Get passed that cultural conditioning and take a hard look at the fact. Around 35 B.C. poet Horace described witches. Remember the Weird Sisters in Shakespeare’s Macbeth? In today’s world, the occult is working to present a more compassionate view of witches. TV shows like Charmed give a contemporary benevolent interpretation of witches with a lot of scary stuff thrown in as well.

How many witches are around?  Professionals estimate there are 1 million to 1.5 million practicing witches. Trinity College’s American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS) recorded about 8,000 Wiccans in 1990, 134,000 in 2001, and around 340,000 by 2008 — a more than 40‑fold increase over that period. Of course, many of these witches say they only practice a form of nature worship and are harmless.

Fr. Al certainly found one that wasn’t on the friendly side. Wanting to be free of any destructive influence, this good man renounced any lingering malevolent influences within himself. He asked the Holy Spirit to cleanse him of all unclean or sinful impulses. Having done so, Fr. Al commanded in Jesus’ name all lingering demonic spirits to leave. When he opened his eyes again, he was free of the witch’s influence. The woman in black did not return.

And you? Take the existence of these destructive people seriously. Stay away from all influence even when it might seem harmless. Witches renounce Jesus Christ and the work of His Church which is far, far the most dangerous of all.  Don’t forget. They are out there.

Oh, yes. Remember miracles never cease.
