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

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.

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!

A HEALING LIGHT

Blog 281

February 27, 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.

Once You been touched then….

I’ve noticed that one miraculous touch leads to another. People who have received a healing experience often are able to pass on healing to someone else in need.  The miraculous begets the miraculous!

Robert Shelton (name is anonymous for privacy sake) made such a discovery. During a farming accident, Robert was caught in a machine that nearly ripped off his arm. The damage to the muscles was extensive, but most of the nerves and major blood vessels stayed intact. Robert was rushed to the hospital with dirt, stones, and debris lodged in his arm. Just getting the rubble out was a major problem. A skilled surgeon finally sewed the arm together.

A Christian, Robert Shelton prayed fervently. Robert’s devout parents prayed constantly. Later. he realized how vital their prayer support had been. Robert knew that prayer had been the key factor in saving his arm, a miraculous event in itself!

As time passed Robert Shelton was increasingly aware that the hand of God had sustained his arm. Robert continued to grow in his faith and eventually had a son.

Little Mark contracted an illness that resulted in a high fever. The situation became serious and Robert really worried about his son.  On an early winter night Robert stood over Mark and knew his boy had a frighteningly high temperature. Robert began praying to Jesus for help. At that moment something started to happen.

Robert felt energy passing from him to his son. He distinctly remembered an energy of light passing through him into Mark. The energy was being released from his arm into Mark.

The next morning the fever and illness were gone. Like a chain reaction, the results of one miracle were passed on to another. Don’t be hesitant about “sharing” your healing and renewal with someone in need. Remember one good thing begets another.

And also remember miracles never cease!

WHEN YOU GET DEPRESSED

Blog 272

December 26, 2022

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

WHEN YOU GET DEPRESSED

Common knowledge tells us that many people get depressed during the Christmas season. Misplaced emotions, personal loss, failures, etc. tend to pop up during the holidays when we are supposed to be happy and in a mood to celebrate. Unfortunately, many people just aren’t there. Let me offer you encouragement. Recovery of hope can be found closer than you realize.

Here’s what happened to Doris Miller (an anonymous name for personal reasons).

Doris developed suicidal depression when she was a teenager. The condition worsened and Doris became obsessed with the idea of killing herself. Fortunately, the situation never became quite right to do so. Doris concluded that in some way God was keeping her from suicide. That thought made her furious. She was becoming desperate.

One night Doris reached the breaking point. She screamed her rage at God until she finally broke down in tears. She shouted that if He wasn’t going to let her die, then her Creator had to do something about what was boiling inside of her. The anger, the bitterness, pain, and hurt had become almost unbearable. She pleaded with God that she couldn’t live with all this negativity inside her. If she had to live, then He had to help her with the pain.

Years later Doris still finds it difficult to described what happened next. She felt like she left her body and floated above herself. When Doris became aware again, the oppressiveness and pain had vanished. The weight of her negative feelings left her. Doris started to function emotionally in a normal way. Her depression was cured.

We can observe several things that happened to balance her emotions. First, she honestly faced her feelings. Although painful and frighteningly defeating, Doris got in touch with what was amiss inside her. Second, she hurled her problem before God and demanded He do something about the struggle. Another name for that response is faith. When she cried out, her heavenly Father met that need. When people throw themselves at the feet of the Father, He never fails to pick them up. While desperation can be unbearable, it can lead us to the place where deliverance is found.

If you tend to have negative feelings around this season or at any time, know that your Creator remains concerned for His creation that their days “may be merry and bright” as the song says. The Almighty waits only for us.

As always…remember miracles never cease!

TRICK OR TREAT

Blog 265

October 30, 2022

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

TRICK OR TREAT

Well, well, here we are on Halloween! We’re suppose to get ready for scary stuff—monsters in the back yard and all. In Mexico, the holiday is called La Día de Los Muertos, The Day of The Dead, honoring those who have died. Sounds a little more civilized than the horror movies that always come with October. However, it is surprising when death can bring a miracle. Here’s a story that happened to a close friend of mine.

When she was around twenty-seven- years old, Donna’s mother died. The mother’s life had been caught up in turmoil and struggles. She had left her husband to become involved with an egotistical narcissistic man with little feeling or concern for anyone but himself.  No one knows exactly what happened, but she overdosed on some form of sleeping pills. Because she was estranged from her family, a state of upheaval and chaos followed. Donna and her sister Linda were overwhelmed. Everyone was pushed to their limit.

I came into the picture because I was Donna’s pastor. Her mother’s boyfriend didn’t want much of a funeral because he was hostile to all religious instructions. Initially, he only tolerated me.

When her condition was discovered, the mother was rushed by ambulance to a hospital. Upon arrival, she was pronounced deceased. Everyone was swept away with emotion. Donna and Linda made their way down to the small chapel in the hospital where they could be alone. Huddled together and kneeling at the rail in front of the altar, they poured out their grief in prayer.

As Donna cried out in prayer, she suddenly felt a hand on her shoulder. The warmth and pressure instantly felt reassuring. Although no one was behind her, Donna knew a presence was there. Reassurance surged through her.. And then an inner voice spoke. “Be at peace.”

At that same moment, Linda felt the identical touch and profound sense of assurance. Her brokenness began to break. Her despair drained. Everything was different.

“I think Jesus was here,” Linda whispered. “He put his robe around us.”

The two women stopped crying and knew they could live with what every happened next. I was able to establish a relationship with the boyfriend and a proper funeral followed.

Far, far beyond a Halloween “treat,” Donna and Linda had received a visitation that transformed the meaning of death. They could go on in confidence. Death could not be proud; Life had triumphed.

Just remember. Miracles never cease.

LOVE PREVAILS

Blog 263

October 16, 2022

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Rev. Robert L. Wise, PhD explores the world of divine interventions from an objective point of view. An Archbishop in the Communion of Evangelical Episcopal Churches with a Ph.D., Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

LOVE PREVAILS

These accounts hopefully encourage you to know the hand of God is there when your need occurs. No one can predict what will follow, but my interviews with hundreds of people indicate He is always there. Here’s an example.  

Snow was falling everywhere in northern Michigan when Scott Peterson’s car went out of control and slammed him into a stranded motorist. In -9-degree weather, timing was critical, and Scott knew he was losing blood fast. His last word before losing consciousness was a cry, “Jesus!”

An ambulance rushed Scott to the hospital when doctors discovered his femoral artery was severed. The lower half of his body was in critical danger. During the seven-hour surgery that followed, Scott received thirty-two units of blood.

But that was just the start.

Forty-eight hours later, Scott was life-flighted to the University of Michigan in an effort to save his life and legs. With such a huge amount of lost blood, Scott wasn’t expected to live. His wife Diane was told amputation was probable and that he wouldn’t survive.

In addition to praying for his life, Diane refused to limit what her faith could provide, she reached out for God’s unconditional love. Diane knew she didn’t have the strength or patience to survive the ordeal, but she believed God would provide what was needed. She hung on in constant prayer.

Scott went into a coma that lasted for nine days and during that time flatlined. Everyone believed his life was over. But he wasn’t there.

During this time, Scott Peterson stood in the presence of the Lord. Almost unable to believe his eyes, Scott was with Jesus Christ. Later he remembered, “When I saw Jesus, I realized how much He loves us. I was very happy to see Him, but He was even happier to see me. I knew I was totally accepted.”

 Scott returned.

His wife was overjoyed, and he doctor was amazed at his rate of recovery. Today Scott is healthy and walks on his own two legs. He and Diane live by faith. They know love prevails.

Just remember. Miracles never cease.
