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.

SHE KNEW SHE WAS DEAD BUT…

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.

SHE KNEW SHE WAS DEAD BUT…

            While my wife Margueritte and I were having supper with the Correas, Linda began telling me about an experience her mother had when she was born. I was amazed as her story unfolded.

Her mother’s name in Minsk, Russia was Jadwiga Allskiewicz, but when she immigrated to America and married, her name became Edith Gustafson. She had come from what was then White Russia in the Russian-Polish area where she spoke only Russian. Soon she had a much better life in America and eventually had three children. The fourth one was born on May 28, 1958 and that’s where the problem started.

            A decade or so later her last child Linda began having problems sleeping and shared this with her mother. “Why are you afraid of sleeping?” Edith asked.

            “I am afraid I will die when I am sleeping,” thirteen-year old Linda said.

            “No, no,” her mother insisted. “Dying and sleeping are very different. You won’t die in your sleep.”

            “How do you know?” Linda insisted.

            Edith looked away. For several moments she said nothing. Finally, she said, “I never told anyone this fact because I didn’t want them to think I had gone crazy.” She stopped and then said, “But I died when you were born.”

            “What?” Linda gasped.

            “Yes, it is true. I had a very difficult time delivering you. At the time I was 35-years-old and in those days that was considered old to have a baby. I started to hemorrhage and the doctor couldn’t stop the bleeding. I slipped into unconsciousness. I felt myself being pushed out of my body.  Later they told me I was dead for 20 minutes.”

            Linda knew her mother was a spiritual person, but she didn’t talk about personal matters very often. When she told Linda what had happened when she died, Linda knew no one else had ever heard this story.

            “What… what happened … when you died?” Linda asked.

            “I closed my eyes and when I opened them again, I was in this most beautiful place I ever saw. Bright! Green! Spring like! Everything was peaceful, more wonderful than I can describe. Then I saw this glorious bright light. A kaleidoscope of light green colors that began turning into a bright, white light. All communication was telepathic and non-verbal. I wanted to stay there forever, but the voice that came out of the bright light told me I was to go back. I had things I must do. A daughter to raise. It just wasn’t my time and then I felt a gravitational pull downward.  I came back into my body. They tell me that when you don’t breathe for 20 minutes you are permanently dead. I know, I know, but here I am. Very much alive.”

            Linda didn’t know what to say.

            “Listen to your Mama,” Edith said. “That’s why I know sleeping is nothing like dying. I’ve been there.”

            And that was the end of Linda’s sleeping problems.

            I sat there fascinated with Linda’s important story.  Her mother had touched the world we call eternity. What a promise for all of us. Just remember miracles never cease!

LARRY WAS BLEEDING TO DEATH UNTIL…

Blog 292

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., he is the author of 36 books. Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

LARRY WAS BLEEDING TO DEATH UNTIL…

Years ago, Linda Correa asked me if there was a God. I  told her about my experience encountering the light of His presence and that answered her questions. My answer stayed in her mind through the following decades. Last week my wife and I had a delightful evening at Larry and Linda Correa’s home. We had not seen them in years. My answer much earlier came up again when she told me what had happened to Larry.

Larry Correa had developed a physical condition that exploded into a full-scale disaster.  He developed a condition labeled varices that scarred his esophagus and caused bleeding to erupt.  He was rushed to the hospital, hemorrhaging and received four pints of blood. Their nurse daughter Jamie worked in the I.C. Unit and cried out, “Mother, he’s dying!”

Larry survived that moment but spent months in the hospital struggling. Next, he developed septicemia. An enormous boil developed on his foot and then swelling began spreading up his leg. The blood disease is often deadly.

As the complications mounted, the doctors told Linda there was no hope. Larry couldn’t survive all these complications. The infections and blood disease were too great. She was advised to prepare for his demise.

Stunned! Linda felt completely helpless, like a train going off a cliff. Void of all hope, she began driving home in a fog completely out of control. Somewhere on the Kilpatrick Turnpike driving across Oklahoma City, Linda began crying and screamed out, “Oh God! Give me a miracle! Please! Please! Oh Lord, help me!”

Abruptly a friend she hadn’t seen in a long time came to mind and she drove to her house. Linda had no idea the woman was a spiritual person, but she blurted out what had happened with Larry. In turn, the lady began telling Linda about God’s love. When she left, Linda was certain God had heard her prayer.

And the miracle? Larry sat at the table listening to Linda tell me this story. Larry Correa is alive today.

As Linda shared their experience, I was reminded how often when people are pushed beyond their capacities and are desperate that they experience a miracle. When we reach our limits, we stand ready to received our heavenly Father’s limitlessn

Linda told me, “I just stayed too busy to pay attention to what God was saying to me through the years. It took coming to the end of my rope to wake up to what had been there all the time.

Linda made an important discovery. Don’t wait for a disaster to wake you up. Your heavenly Father stands by your side right now. Remember miracles never cease!

IT LOOKED LIKE A DISASTER UNTIL…

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., he is the author of 36 books. Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

IT LOOKED LIKE A DISASTER UNTIL…

Recently I was searching through my files where I keep interviews with people who experienced divine interventions. Sometimes they were instantaneous miracles and other times they were demonstrations of grace that stretched over a longer period of time. Big or little, these touches of the miraculous mirrored the love of God. These recoveries from struggles remain a witness to the power of prayer and intercession. Each person discovered the difference prayer can make.

Here’s several of those experiences that I found in my records. (names are anonymous)

Alice Chambers’ first son brought pure joy, but as she was working with the baby, Alice slipped and fell, splitting her head open. The fall proved to be highly disorienting causing her to have a problem sleeping. Alice accidently took an overdose of sleeping pills. As she recovered from the fall and the pills, the doctors found Alice had also developed a disintegrating lung. The new mother had suddenly become surrounded by disaster.

Friends and her pastor began praying earnestly for Alice. They prayed constantly day and night. The problems soon slipped away and all discomfort disappeared. Alice’s lung stayed healthy till the day she dies. For the rest of her life Alice remained an advocate of prayer.

Bob Ryan had been in counseling with one of our professional therapists, trying to find relief from deep seated bitterness.  In addition, Bob enrolled in a men’s Bible Study group. The church’s men’s fellowship prayed for each other and Bob in particular wanted them to intercede for him. The counseling brought important insight and understanding, but the bitterness lingered. Bob’s problem exceeded the therapist ability to completely resolve the issue.

Bob’s men’s prayer group surrounded him, laid on hands, and prayed fervently. During one of the sessions, Bob suddenly realized all bitterness was gone. The lingering struggle had vanished and was replaced by a new gentler spirit. The prayers completed the therapist’s task. 

Then there’s Sam Silver. San had always been an outstanding athlete and naturally went on to play college football. Of course, college ball is an exceedingly rough sport. Sam injured his knee so badly that an operation was required.

Jack Phillips roamed the hospital halls and had a ministry praying for people. He stumbled across Sam Silver who’s knee wasn’t doing so good. Jack began to pray.

As Sam prepared to leave the hospital, the doctor looked at the x-rays and shook his head. “I’d like to take the credit, but I can’t. Your knee is not only improved, it is better than it was before the injury. Amazing”.

What happened? Sam Silver knew. Prayer.

Does prayer work? These three friends of mine agree. Prayer is the path that leads to a miracle.

THE MOTORCYCLE EXPLODED AND…

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., he is the author of 36 books. Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

THE MOTORCYCLE EXPLODED AND …

This past week I was holding a Night of Empowerment event where hurting people discover the power of the Holy Spirit to set them free from their struggles. The service at The Church had been exceptionally powerful. I was hurrying away to make another appointment when Johnny Brooks stopped me in the hall.

“Got something you might want to hear,” Johnny said. “I nearly died.”

I immediately stopped and wanted to hear his story. Johnny was part of a motorcycle ministry of The Church (formerly Act Church) called The Priesthood. Along with other groups they drove the highways and enjoyed the relationships. Johnny Brooks was cruising through Claremore, Oklahoma close to the Hard Rock Casiono when a truck with a trailer swung onto the highway and didn’t see him. Johnny clipped the rear of the trailer and went flying. Laying on the ground, Johnny knew he was dying and could barely mutter, “Tell my wife Nicole that I love her.”

The wreck ruptured his aorta that runs into the heart. As the doctors at Tulsa’s St. Francis hospital frantically worked on him, Johnny lost 45 pints of blood. They told his wife no one has ever survived such a loss.

And where was Johnny?

He was laying in a large field. A man in a robe with shoulder-length hair was standing behind and above him. He couldn’t see the man’s face but wanted to do so. He could feel the man’s touch on his shoulder and wondered if he was Jesus. (Later he believed the figure was Jesus) Johnny remembered thousands of people standing around the field watching what was happening.  Suddenly, Johnny’s wife was there crying and saying, “Don’t give up!”

That night Johnny’s step-daughter Destiny Reed had a dream. The next morning, she told her mother. “I dreamed Daddy was in a field and there was a glowing light surrounding him.”

And those thousands of people watching the field? Later Johnny learned that friends in motorcycle clubs all over America were praying for him. One of the clubs felt a divine intervention was at work as they prayed.

Five times the physicians told the family that Johnny Brooks wouldn’t make it. He did.

Finally, one of the doctors told his wife that it was a miracle that he had survived. Her response? She said, “Johnny was touched by Jesus. That’s all there was to it.”

Do miracles continue to happen today? Ask Johnny Brooks. He’ll tell you they most certainly do.

Remember miracles never cease!

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

Blog 289

April 24, 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., he is the author of 36 books. Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

DELIVER US FROM EVIL

One of the persistent themes that stretches back to the beginning of time is a question about the existence of evil. Is it evil or Evil?  Are these assaults personal or products of chance. Surely, we cannot miss the fact that our world is immersed in a struggle with destruction. From the Sudan to Ukraine, everywhere we look we see tragic death. Guns are assaulting our schools and as in addition leaving innocent Blacks killed by police as well as panicked citizens who supposedly accidently killing someone on the front porch. The number one cause of death of children in America is shootings.

Can you avoid having to face the reality of evil or Evil?

Let’s put this question on a personal level. Could you be assaulted by evil in terms of sickness, depression, or some form of psychological distress? It’s possible. And if so, you need to know about how the miraculous can deliver you from the consequences.

This past week one of my Spiritual Directors called me with her experience. A Spiritual Director is trained to help people recognize how they can grow in faith and maturity. Betty Smith offered healing services.  (Names are changed for anonymity sake)

Betty called me about a man with a painful physical struggle that he couldn’t identify. Barely speaking more than a mumble, George wasn’t sure how to even describe what was wrong… he just hurt. Betty was working with him through a Zoom computer system because he was halfway across the country.

Betty has always been extraordinarily perceptive. She began to sense a strange shade under George’s chin. The more Betty looked, the more certain she was that a dark entity had settled in just beneath George’s heart. Betty suspected that something evil had entered into this man’s body.

When Betty inquired about his personal history, she learned that several generations back his family had been involved in a cult like experience when people were offered as a sacrifice to Evil. The result of that encounter had never left the family. George was now the final result. Evil lingered in his body.

As usual, Betty asked the angelic hosts to help her set George free. As they prayed for a specific release, George could feel evil being pulled out of his body. His demeanor changed and he became more talkative. George now felt great.

We need to stay balanced on this subject. However, we must also be realistic. Evil exists out there and can attach itself to a person. Don’t worry. One of the aspects of Divine intervention is that the power of the Holy Spirit will set you free. Don’t worry; just be aware.

Remember miracles never cease!

AND LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN…

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., he is the author of 36 books. Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

AND LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENED WHEN…

While the meaning of Easter still lingers in our thoughts, I am reminded of how the Resurrection of Jesus the Christ continues to guide our personal battles with death and illness.  A blow was struck against sickness and deterioration. Sure, the battle with human infirmity is not over, but the miraculous interventions of our heavenly Father continue to guide us in our time of need.  Here are two examples that I recently found in my files. When people have received a touch of Grace, they often write me. Here are two expressions of divine intervention. (Names are anonymous for privacy sake)

Paula’s trip to the doctor about her abdominal pain resulted in Gall Bladder surgery. After the surgery, the pain continued. Paula heard about the “Jesus Prayer.”  Taken from the Gospels, (Matthew 20:31), the prayer of two blind men brought the restoration of their sight. “Lord Jesus, Son of  David have mercy on us,” or “Lord Jesus, Son of God have mercy on me,” is repeated over and over in a prayerful mantra seeking healing.

The discovery of the earliest Church was that repetition helped the mind, the emotions, and the physical body come together and focus on coming into a relationship with the Holy Spirit. We are lifted out of the distractions of this world and brought into the realm of inspiration. The Jesus prayer is often prayed  over and over for a long time.

Paula discovered the prayer helped her breathe more deeply and speeded up the healing process. However, during the hospital stay an x-ray showed an abnormality with Paula’s heart. She kept praying the Jesus Prayer. The next x-ray revealed the abnormality was gone. Paula was released early. Like the two blind men, she knew the hand of God had reached into her body and made whole.

Struggling with throbbing agony, George had been rushed to the emergency room at St. Anthony’s hospital, Oklahoma City. Sever stomach pains had doubled him up. The cramping turned into a real struggle. A friend showed up and began praying for the condition. Within five minutes, the nightmare was over. The excruciating discomfort disappeared. Surprisingly enough, George discovered that his habit of smoking cigarettes was also gone and he hasn’t smoked since. All because of a friend’s prayer.

We might conclude that Easter happened again in a hospital.  Is the Holy Spirit still working in our world?  You bet your boots. Just remember miracles never cease!

AND A MIRACLE HEALED

Blog 287

April 10, 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., he is the author of 36 books. Rev. Wise relates his interviews with persons who experienced the touch of God.

AND A MIRACLE HEALED…Easter celebrates the greatest miracle of all existence. The Resurrection of Jesus the Christ was the final defeat of death and Evil. Two- thousand years later, we continue to bow humbly before this hallmark event in human history. A blow was struck against sickness and deterioration. Sure, the battle with human infirmity is not over, but like the D-Day landing on Normandy Beach, we are in the final struggle.

Dana Taylor can verify that fact.

Dana developed a problem of abnormal bleeding and went straight to the doctor. He assured her that she was not pregnant, gave her some pills, and sent her home. However, Dana suspected that the hormones and pills only masked the real problem. During a church service, Dana prayed, “Lord, if I brought this on myself, could you please show me how?” Immediately an answer popped in her mind. She had refused to let herself become pregnant again. In fact, negating the possibility had become somewhat of an obsession with her and she was making herself sick. Dana immediately released the obsession into God’s care. However, she suspected the real physical problem lingered.

And the problem did return with the doctor suggesting a surgical procedure that Dana didn’t want. She called a friend who agreed to pray with her for the next four days. Laying down, Dana placed her hands on her abdomen and began to pray. Immediately her hands became hot and she kept praying that Jesus would heal her condition. For three days, Dana followed the same pattern and kept seeking a miraculous healing.

On the fourth day, as she was praying Dana felt a surge of energy like an electrical wave shooting through her body from her head to her toes, leaving her with a tingling sensation. Three times this empowerment charged through her body. The force completely overwhelmed her.

Finally, Dana prayed, “Lord I don’t think I can take this anymore. Please let me sleep.” She drifted away. When she awoke the next morning, Dana was healed. She was fine.

Dana has always been a firm believer in the Christian faith and the Resurrection. In her hour of need, she experienced the promise of the power of life over death, wellness over illness. Does the power of the Resurrection still extend to us? Dana would enthusiastically say “Yes!”

As you reflect on Easter … just remember miracles never cease!
