MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

Robert Wise 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 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.

(Of course, Exodus 3:13-14 related 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, they letters were etched in her mind.

Finally, Elaine woke her husband and related the experience. He too was amazed. They agreed her experience must be shared with others. Oh yes. The sagging sack around her waist was gone.

Remember to expect the unexpected!

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

A MIRACLE IN THE DARK  

            Studying miracles is always walking into a mystery. We can never be sure what comes next or how the hand of God will move. Exploring how a miracle occurred or attempting to fathom the meaning is important and helpful, but when we are finished there are more unanswered questions than what have been already discovered. The Holy Spirit moves like the wind, unseen but felt. That’s the way of the miraculous. What counts is believing, not understanding.

            Pastor James Mutahi can tell you about faith. Now a pastor in Minneapolis, Minnesota, he was originally a pastor in Kenya, East Africa. During that time, Pastor James noticed that his two-year old daughter Mary had stopped playing with the other children. She hardly touched her supper and then her temperature began to rise. Something was wrong.

               As the evening progressed so did the problem. The child’s temperature continued to rise. Sponge baths were administered to cool her, but nothing helped. James and his wife Jane gave her Tylenol but that didn’t stop the problem. Both parents laid down but couldn’t sleep. Something was dreadfully wrong with their child. At 2:00 in the morning Jane came to the conclusion that they should take little Mary to the hospital. James could hear the rain beating down on the roof and pouring down all night. That could be a problem.

            James Mutahi had always been a man of prayer and during the entire evening he had silently prayed for his daughter. He didn’t disagree with Jane about taking her to the hospital, but he deeply believed God could heal her. Even as he rolled out of bed, James hung on to that conviction.

            As soon as he started the van, James knew they had another issue. The wheels would only spin. In Kenya, the sticky clay soil saturated by rain can make it impossible for a vehicle to move. No matter how sick little Marry was, there wasn’t going to be a trip to the hospital. The family had to go back into the house.

            James and Jane began praying aloud. James believed in his God of miracles and called on the Lord to come and save his daughter. As the rains kept coming down, their prayers kept going up. And then it happened! Mary’s temperature began going down. Her feverish body began to cool. Mary started to recover. No doctor or medicine had made the difference. James could see his faith validated as his daughter began to recover.

            The next day was Sunday. James and Jane shared the story with their church of what had happened the night before. The congregation rejoiced that the intervention of the miraculous had restored this little one. The experience was an affirmation that God is always near. James and Jane remembered the promise of Jesus that he would never forsake them.

            What can you gather from their experience? Don’t forget that the issue isn’t your understanding, but your believing. The more you grow in faith, the more you will expect and your heavenly Father will answer.

            Remember to expect the unexpected!

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

THROUGH A RADIO

            Recently, a dear friend who has financially supported these weekly blogs and the monthly videos on YouTube, asked me if others had helped. I had to say no. She responded, “I bet many people have been blessed through the weekly and monthly programs. If so, they might want to help with the expenses of recording, editing, directing, and other professional helps. Ask them.”

            So, I am. If these stories of miracles and the touch of God have been of value to you, your donations would be deeply appreciated. You can send them to ROBERT L. WISE, PO BOX 22716, OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA,  73123. Each week and month, these stories go around the world and are read by thousands of people. Who knows who you might be reached and helped through your contribution?

            Can a published blog make a difference.? Here’s an example of the possible impact. I’ve known LaDonna Osborne for a number of years. The daughter of missionary evangelists T.L. and Daisy Osborn, LaDonna continues to carry their ministry through Africa. Not necessarily as well known in America, the Osborn family has touched thousands of people through the decades.

            Because of the advent of the Covid pandemic, LaDonna was forced to cancel mass meetings and begin broadcasting through the radio to the Runyakole-speaking people of Uganda, East Africa.  Immediately the reports began coming in. A multitude responded. In addition, to affirming the gospel, the reports of healings followed.

            A person with fistula began following LaDonna’s directions and instruction she offered over the radio. African doctors had not been able to help. LaDonna suggested the sacrament she calls The Table of the Lord. The African woman started following the prayers and crying out in faith.  The next day the pain was gone and healing followed. Now she tells all her friends to find the recovery of their joy through contact with God.

            A person with Prostate Cancer was in the last stages of this dreaded disease. The humiliating circumstances had left the man in despair. A friend suggested he listen to the radio and tune in LaDonna’s program. As he listened, she suggested listeners pray with her. As she kept saying, “believe, believe, believe,” he prayed with her. Following the broadcast, he again prayed a simple child’s prayer of intercession. Almost immediately he was healed. He ended his letter to LaDonna saying, “God is great!”

            Do miracles still happen? You bet!

            The results of LaDonna Osborne’s ministry go on and on. The impact of these blogs and videos touch people I’ll never meet as well. Really exciting, isn’t it? If you so choose, thank you for being part of this outreach through your donations and gifts.

MIRACLES NEVER CEASE!

 WHEN LIFE ENDS—AND BEGINS AGAIN

I have been surprised by the number of people I have met who had “out-of-the-body” experiences  (NDE) as they were dying. When they came back and became conscious again, their reports always left me intrigued. A month ago, I shared Ron Carte’s journey after he had a heart attack and crashed into a tree. This week I interviewed him for a coming YouTube video that you will want to see. Just look for Miracles Never Cease by Robert Wise.

One of the fascinating aspects of an NDE event is the extremely accurate memory that these persons had of what they saw from the other side or often the top of the room. One woman having an out of the body experience saw a red label on the hidden side of a ceiling fan. The nurses were amazed as no one had discovered that red tab before. The uncanny but precise description of what they saw when out of the body is difficult to repute.

Here’s a similar experience of a man who been an atheist.

Ian McCormack was scuba diving near the cost of Mauritius in the Indian Ocean when he was stung four times by Jelly Fish. Sometimes called the most venomous creature in the world, one bite can cause the cardiovascular system to collapse with death in two to three minutes. McCormack was bitten four times.

As he was dying, Ian saw a vision of his mother telling him to call out to God for help. Now in utter darkness, he was terrified and prayed for God to forgive his sins. A bright light suddenly descended on him, drawing him out of the darkness.  The light was unspeakably bright as if it was the center of the universe. Nevertheless, Ian could look into the brilliant blaze.

The Presence in the light knew everything about him, making him feel terribly ashamed. However, rather than judgement, he felt what he described as ‘pure, unadulterated, clean, uninhibited, undeserved love.” In the middle of the light, he saw a man in a dazzling white robe holding out his arms to Ian. After he returned to physical life, Ian knew he had been in the presence of Almighty God.

Ian McCormack’s experience is another example of touching the transcendent dimension that is always around us. On this Easter Weekend, we are reminded of the ultimate victory over death that laid the foundation for all of these experiences. Certainly offers us hope!

Remember to expect the unexpected.
