Summary

TBH 337

"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!

It's behind a case, and as soon as I turned that corner and saw it, I just, you know, call it the hair standing on the back of your neck, whatever.

0:17.2

Just a feeling of warmth, but I was just like, ooh.

0:22.0

This is touched by heaven, everyday encounters with God,

0:26.3

because God is speaking to you and me and the church and the world,

0:31.5

and here on these podcast episodes, we get to listen in on the conversations.

0:36.7

These encounters with angels, divine intervention, prophetic dreams, visions, near death experiences.

0:42.3

I'm your host, Trapper, Jack.

0:44.6

I am reminded in this episode of a time when I was, I don't know, 20 years old or so,

0:48.5

early in radio, and the on-air guys and I would maybe go out and get a bite to eat,

0:53.3

and if there was a wait at that particular restaurant and they would need a name, right?

0:58.1

And I would say, Hitler.

0:59.7

And I would do that for a specific reason.

1:03.3

Just for the reaction, as the hostess would announce on the PA, Hitler, party of four, Hitler, party, and everybody would just come to a stop

1:14.0

and turn to see, who the heck is? I thought it was very, very amusing. So with that in mind,

1:19.5

I am reminded of that because in this episode, we come across Judas. Not that one, the other one.

1:26.5

There was another of the 12 whose name was Judas, who we now

1:29.8

just called Jude, for obvious reasons to make sure we don't get confused by the two. But what about

1:35.8

him? What happened to him? We were just shooting the brazen on a fishing boat, of all things,

1:40.3

and I think she told you my miracle through St. Jude.

1:46.5

This is the apostle, Jude, Judas, the other Jude?

1:50.3

Jude, Thaddeus, the better one.

1:53.0

The saint of lost causes, what do they call him?
