WHAT HAPPENES WHEN YOU DIE

PART III

The idea that we can know something of what happens after we die would grab anyone’s imagination. Everyone wants an answer to that question. In our last two communiques, we’ve been exposing answers from people who were “there” and returned.  I have talked with people who had that experience and listened to what they discovered. Their answers amazed me and gave new insight. Here are two more encounters that will inspire you.

Laurie Smith (name changed for anonymity sake) had been rafting when she was swept into the rapids. The current pulled her under where she was trapped and couldn’t get back to the surface. As water started filling her lungs, Laurie knew she was dying. Everything went black and then suddenly became white as she was hurled down a long tunnel. At the end, Laurie could see a room made of white clouds and yet it seemed in some unexplained way to be solid although it wasn’t. Three beings made of shimmering crystal stood there with light shining through them. These  creatures spoke to Laurie but frightened her. At that moment, they changed into angels and pure light of many shades of color shone through them. As Laurie watched, she saw light shine through them in brilliant designs. The angels began communicating with her telepathically. Angelic beings took her to a beautiful field with magnificent music. Awesome peacefulness settled in.

And then another Kayaker rescued her from a watery grave. She had been to the beyond and came back.

While the chief engineer on an underwater rescue team, Dave Bennet was swept into the ocean. He knew what happened with oxygen deprivation and realised he was dying, but as the blackness settled in, he drifted into an experience like nothing he had known before. An omnipresent being fell in with him as the black began to turn into light. Dave drifted toward the brightness. He could feel waves upon waves of love surrounding him and surrounding him with a warm embrace. He said, “It was the most amazing feeling I ever had, and it felt as if this love was actually permeating my being, and transforming me into a being of light.”

As Dave Bennet traveled toward the light, he met his family, not like the one on earth, but a ‘soul family.’ They took him back through his life, but with different points of view. Finally, he was sent him back to life with renewed purpose. He came back to the surface of the ocean after being fully submerged for 18 minutes.

These experiences are further confirmation of Jesus promise, “I have come that you might have life, and life more abundantly. (John 11:25). You don’t have to live with a fear of death. Rather than a negation of life, death is the door we enter on our way to abundance. Jeus has prepared everything for us.

WHEN EASTER HAPPENED A SECOND TIME

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE

WHEN EASTER HAPPENED A SECOND TIME

            Easter celebrates the miracle of life. What happened in Jerusalem in 33 A.D. hasn’t stopped. The impact continues today and into eternity. Here’s  an example.

            The Korean church leader Sung Ryong Kwak had been developing a ministry team that might propel their 700-member church to even greater heights. Deaconess Lee was one of the prime leaders working in team ministry. When the call from the hospital came, everyone was shocked. Lee had been found in her room with carbon monoxide poisoning  and rushed to the hospital. The report was that her condition was serious.

            Sung Kwak rushed to the small hospital in their village. A group had already gathered around the emergency room. The report was that the medical team was preparing to administer an electrical jump start to her heart. The defibrillator might restart the natural rhythm of Lee’s heart. Through the glass window, Sung could see the doctor’s working feverishly to shock the deaconess back to life but nothing seemed to be happening. He could see that the procedure wasn’t working.

            The doctors finally emerged shaking their heads. They reported, “The patient is dead.”

            Sung Ryong Kwak retreated to a quiet corner to be alone and pray. He cried out, “Please give life to this lady once more. … Lord, we need a miracle.”

            A passage of scripture flashed through his mind. “Jesus said, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me, though he die, He shall live.’” Sung profoundly believed this truth and claimed the promise.

            An intern who heard the prayer was so impressed by the plea that he persuaded the doctors to shock Lee one more time. To their dismay, her heart responded and she was alive. Lee had been resurrected.

            However, the doctor warned she would be severely mentally handicapped by the carbon monoxide poisoning.  Lee was sixty-years old and brain damage was a virtual certainty. Maybe her revival wasn’t so positive after all.

            Three days later, Sung was working in the church when the door opened. Deaconess Lee walked in. She was in perfect health; physically and mentally. Lee, too, had indeed been resurrected. Easter had come again.

            We do well to remember that death has been defeated and life reaches into tomorrow. No circumstance can impede that journey. That’s the meaning of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead is for today and tomorrow.        

            And remember that miracle never ceases.

PAIN TURNED INTO PROMISE

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 Church with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

PAIN TURNED INTO PROMISE

                        Probably few people have affected life in the 20th century more than C.S. Lewis. With 30 books read worldwide, Lewis became one of the most significant proponents of the Christian faith. A professor at Oxford University in England, his clear-cut but basic explanations of truth touched multitudes seeking answers to the meaning of life. In a symbolic sense, his life was a miracle.

            Over the years, the story of his relationship with Helen Joy Grisham and their marriage surfaced. The Jewish born Christian author from America became the joy of C.S. Lewis’ life (He preferred to be called Jack rather than C.S.). The movie Shadowlands chronicled their deep love for each other and Jack’s struggle with grief. (You can get the video of Shadowlands and will be inspired)

            The movie only features Joy Grisham’s son Douglas. Actually, her other son David was a paranoid violent schizophrenic and was left out of the movie to avoid distraction. However, Douglas story is significant and a witness by itself. Recently, I heard Douglas Grisham reflect on his relationship with Jack and that is a story unto itself.

            Joy Grisham had broken her leg, revealing a terminal cancer eating the femur bone away. The case was hopeless and she was given weeks or months at best. Nine-year-old Douglas was faced with the loss of his mother and life in a foreign land. Everything in his world was about to disappear. He was devastated.

            Douglas walked down to Holy Trinity Church to pour out his grief. As he reached the entry gate something happened. He seemed to have crossed from one reality to another. His prayerful pleas had propelled him into another reality. To this day, he cannot find words to adequately describe what happened, but he knew he had come face to face with another world of angels and the Holy Spirit. Douglas walked into the church and fell on his knees.

            A voice spoke. “Can you live without your mother?” Douglas thought for a moment and answered. “No, I don’t think I can.”  The voice said, “Then it is fixed.” Divine peace settled over Douglas. He got up and walked home with all fear and anxiety gone.

            That very afternoon Joy Grisham Lewis’ cancer went into remission, and she lived on into other years. A miracle indeed.

            Seems that the Holy Spirit responds best to the grief and anguish of a hurting heart. No matter the situation, He promised to always be there …and is!

A WALK INTO HEAVEN!

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

A WALK INTO HEAVEN!

            Sarah Coleman certainly knows what can happen in a near-death experience. Having worked as an Emergency Room nurse for years, she’d seen it all come through their swinging doors. Because Sarah had always been a highly rational person, she had no expectation of something supernatural occurring to her. However, she got up early one morning and went out for a walk. That’s when her world changed!

            Sarah was crossing the pathway when a car came flying down the street. The distracted driver was texting away on the cellphone when the car smashed into her. She was rushed to an emergency room with no expectation of survival.

            But where was Sarah?

            Surrounded by pure white light that became vivid colors,  she had never seen such brilliance. Joy and love became tangible objects. Out of this heavenly atmosphere, her long-deceased father stepped forward. He assured her not to be afraid. The best was yet to be.

            Abruptly, the entire scene changed. From out of another explosion of light, Jesus stepped forth. Sarah Coleman dropped to her knees, overwhelmed by the sight.  Jesus placed his hand on her shoulder and told her he was going to show her four events she was to witness and share.

            The Great Distraction had swept across the world. People’s attention was focused on their cellphone, television, radio, media, on and on. They were not paying attention to the important realities surrounding them. The focus on the temporal kept them from seeing the eternal.

            The Great Deception came with promises of peace and well-being that were actually inter-mingled with lies. People had false hopes because Evil had  slipped deception into their dreams. Millions of good people were looking in the wrong places.

            The Great Awakening was coming.  A new birth of faith would appear bringing healing, miracles, and reconciliation. Many would be mocked and even persecuted for their faith, but the revival of sustaining faith would carry them through. Jesus would always be with them.

            The Great Return would come with  the clouds parting and the world-wide revelation of Jesus being made known. Even people who had never believed would bend the knee. The promise was not that far away.

            After Sarah absorbed these insights, it was time to return. The glorious light faded and she was back in her body. The paramedics were startled and shocked. “She’s back!” someone cried out. They were equally amazed at her quick and total recovery.

            Sarah Coleman returned home to share what she had seen.

 It’ up to us to listen.

            Remember: miracles never cease.

ANGELS ABOUND

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 Church with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

ANGELS ABOUND

            Interesting enough, the majority of Americans believe in angels. In an age dripping with skepticism, people still hold the conviction that angels are at work around them. The idea of Guardian Angels is an enduring popular conviction. My personal understanding was greatly challenged and expanded when I came to know Leslie Draper. To my astonishment, I discovered the young woman had an extraordinary ability to communicate with angels. She listened to them and helped people find direction and solutions to problems. I was amazed.

            How does such work? For starters, let me suggest a beginning point. Ever have a totally unexpected thought run through your mind that seemed to come out of nowhere? It turned out to be an important insight that made a difference. What if that impulse turned out to be your Guardian Angel offering direction? The next time you get one of those moments, stop and ask, “Is that you? My Guardian Angel? What is your name?” Sound a little far out? When I tuned in, it became a turning point in my spiritual journey.

            As I watched Leslie work with hurting people, I witnessed the guidance of angels making a significant difference in their lives. On one occasion, a woman called crying hysterically and uncontrollably. Angelic intervention clarified that the problem wasn’t at all what she thought. Leslie was directed to recognize that an outside force was working on the woman, creating the chaos. As Leslie prayed over the woman, her prayers were a call for the hand of God to move against the source of the problem. The session became a struggle, but Leslie continued to pray as the angel directed. The client was restored, and the condition disappeared.

            Could you do this? Absolutely. Should you have a need, don’t hesitate to ask your Guardian Angel for assistance. If nothing happens, don’t give up. Most of us need help in learning how to focus on our prayers. Practice does make perfect. Keep trying. And along the way, you might ask your Guardian Angel for a name. See what comes to mind. Just as you respond when someone calls you by name, angels do the same. Many times, the angelic realm speaks to us while we are asleep. In those instances, the encounter has far more substance than a simple dream.

            Sounds far out. For most people it would be because they may believe in angels but never expect to encounter one. Here’s where you start. Change your expectations. Expect guidance and assistance. It all comes in the package of believing in your heavenly Father and asking his Holy Spirit to fall on you. Along the way, expect your Guadian Angel to be there.        

            Remember: miracles never cease.

WHEN THE DARKNESS DIED

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.

WHEN THE DARKNESS DIED

            Easter is the celebration of the amazing transforming miracle of light. The Light has shined into the darkness and the darkness has never overcome it. On Easter we remember how the darkness of death was dispelled.

            No matter where you look in the world, you will find cemeteries. At the edge of every town, there is a graveyard and everyone knows that’s where they will eventually reside. We try to avoid the fact, but in the moments when we are most lucid, we recognize the inevitable. One day we will be there.

            And then Easter morning comes.

            The resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead proclaims that Light has shined into the darkness of the grave and the darkness has not over come it. Easter proclaims that every tomb is now filled with Light and the darkness cannot halt the penetrating glow.

            That’s the miracle of Easter.

            Our worst fear has been conquered. Death has no power over us. Every dark night will give way to a new day of promise. When church choirs sing, “Christ the Lord is risen today,” they are singing to the past, the present, and the future, that no amount of darkness will ever stop the Light.

            That is the greatest miracle of all.

            And that miracle never ceases.

BREAKTHROUGH!

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.

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.

AWAKENED TO THE LIGHT

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.

            Remember miracles never cease.
