How Did a Bone Chip from an Apostle Heal Rich? - TBH 337

Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God

"As soon as I turned the corner and saw it behind the glass, the hair stood up on the back of my neck and I felt this incredible warmth. It was like ‘whoa!’"

Hi! Trapper Jack here. As I think about it, it’s really a rather simple story. Rich wanted something. He prayed for it. He got it.

Did Rich pray directly to anyone of the three in the Trinity? No. The one he approached for his intercessory prayer happens to be the one known as the Saint of impossible causes.

Here, God is awakening us to a basic truth. However you approach God, He is listening. In this case, it was the communion of Saints who were asked to intercede for Rich. Some ask, "Why would you pray to dead people?" Well, first off, they are not dead. Even Jesus was seen by some of His apostles talking to ‘dead’ people, namely, Moses and Elijah.

Maybe a bigger question is, what does prayer while looking at the Saint’s bone remains, have to do with anything? In this case, Rich, was dealing with irreversible pain from a boating accident. Asking for the impossible. Shockingly, even to Rich, the impossible prayer was answered. Interesting how this story got the attention of an atheist friend of Rich. Sometimes, God is just trying to get somebody to awaken to the truth about God and prayer. Enjoy the podcast!
