Touched by Heaven - Everyday Encounters with God

"I can feel the coldness of the jail cell bars on my hands. I feel the concrete beneath my knees as I kneel. I am going to be executed for my faith. I hear footsteps coming for me. They are at my door." Tammie's original conversion story: https://touchedbyheaven.net/the-view-from-the-cross-tbh-96 ---------- Hi there! Trapper Jack here. Have you seen the movie Bonhoeffer? A WWII Methodist Pastor joins a resistance organization that is attempting to assassinate Adolf Hitler. While the pastor believed murder was evil, Bonhoeffer also believed that the action was justified because Hitler posed a greater evil. Ultimately, Bonhoeffer was martyred. Do you ever wonder what you would do if faced with saying yes or no to Christ when your life was on the line? Tammie has been pondering that question for about 18 years. It was then that she experienced a vision, or dream, of kneeling and praying in a jail cell knowing that she was about to be executed for her Christian faith. She heard the footsteps of the one coming down the hall to get her. Tammie woke up with a tear-stained pillow. Was this a prophetic vision? She has always wondered what she would do if the moment of truth arrived. In an unusual statement of faith, tattoos might be giving us the answer of how bold and permanent Tammie's faithfulness is to our Lord.

"The lady in blue was seen bilocating more than 500 times from her cloistered convent in Spain, to the indigenous people of what is now Southwest America. More than 60,000 were baptized here." ---------- Hi there! Trapper Jack here. How did this one slip by the historians? As we gathered around the Thanksgiving table this year, somebody brought up the original Thanksgiving story of Pilgrims and such. The 102 souls who ventured from Europe for religious freedom. It gave me an opportunity to share the much bigger story which occurred in the same timeframe. Few seem to know about the 60,000 indigenous people, otherwise known as Indians, who were baptized into Christianity, right here in what we now call America. Since I have not talked about this on the podcast for more than five years, let's have a go of it again. It opens the door to the saintly types who walk among us, in particular, the venerable Maria de Ágreda (Mary of Jesus) who bilocated to what is now the southwest of the United States from her convent in Spain. This sister, in her blue habit, was seen flying in and out of what we now call Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Don't believe it? Just give a listen and watch the video link to a priest and the documentation.

“When my father was seeing another woman, God allowed my mother to hear everything my dad said or even thought.” ---------- Hi! Trapper Jack here. Movie watching has led to our topic this week. The music that has bubbled up in my head comes from the movie Superman with Christopher Reeve. It's a particular piece of music that plays while Superman is taking Lois Lane on a flight over Metropolis. We hear her thoughts. As she wonders, 'Can you read my mind? 'I'm holding hands with a god.' Spiritualized, the scene leads us to the reality that God is always reading our minds. If you reflect on the last few episodes, it’s all about our minds. Are we sharing the mind of God, or have we created God in our image? Sadly, we are finding out how often we are in opposition to our heavenly Father, and His Biblical View. The upside in this episode is what the Holy Spirit can do within us, when we are in alignment with Him. It’s fantastic and supernatural!

What happens when an irresistible force meets an immovable object? They pass through each other. Here, the Trump prophecy of 60 weeks ago passes through the 'why' he was saved. ---------- Hi! Trapper Jack here. I said some crazy prophetic type of stuff 60 plus weeks ago in episode 280. The podcast mentioned how the music that bubbles up in my head led me to the possibility of an assassination of Donald Trump, but divine intervention would lead to an election victory. I kept wondering in that episode what all the little puzzle pieces might mean. Some of you have been wondering if I was going to bring this topic up again. The music that bubbles up in my head has indeed led me back to that episode of TBH, but only if the 'why' he was saved is within the podcast. So, I have now donned my referee shirt, and without opinion, have called the game as fairly as I am able. Enjoy the podcast!

"We have to remember what Jesus said, ‘Unless we are like a child, we cannot enter into heaven.’” ---------- I literally just walked our daughter, Carolyn, down the aisle to her wonderful new husband, Daniel. My wife, Elizabeth, and I were just reflecting on a particular Sunday morning, five years ago, while we were headed home from Sunday mass. There was a song playing in my head, ‘For a man shall leave his mother, and a woman shall leave her home.’ It’s called The Wedding Song. When we arrived home, our daughter Carolyn was waiting for us. Carolyn said, 'You know how I've always said that I would not mention any guy’s name or bring anyone home until things were getting serious. Well, it's time to tell you about Daniel.’ In this episode, Carolyn opens the door to the heavenly connections that many children have in the first few years of their lives. By about age five, we develop amnesia to those special early memories. We then begin the process of walking away and then, back to, God and heaven. Here then are some great examples of God speaking quite loudly through kids age three and four.

The Virgin has told us that the chastisement for the world is coming, as the world is not changing. The cup is filling up ~ Garabandal visionaries ---------- Hi! Trapper Jack here. Have you ever pondered the gospel where Jesus has locked up the house that is headed for heaven. In this parable, the crowd arrives and says, ‘open up,’ but Jesus says, ‘I do not know you. Go away you evil doers.’ You and I assume that we are inside the house, right? Well, that crowd had the same assumption. That big crowd had apparently never figured something out. Maybe I’ve missed something. In this episode we will see where the crowds are gathering, and where they are not. We will even see what they cheer about. We will then ask Jesus and Satan whether or not they would join in the cheering. Maybe then I will have a better picture of whether I am in or out.

“The caller on my radio show said that she always felt a presence in the car on her way into work. Maryann then said, ‘Yes, he’s in the back seat. He’s looking at your blue butterfly clip that holds your ponytail.’ The caller let out a huge scream!” ---------- I wasn’t sure if I believed in ghosts or not. Then, I met Maryann. For 25 consecutive Halloween mornings, Maryann Winkowski, who inspired the CBS television hit series Ghost Whisperer, would join me on the radio. We would take calls from listeners who believed they had a ghost in their house. Many did. I would push Maryanne to prove that she could see what she said that she could see. She did so with dazzling accuracy. I have never seen anyone prove the existence of ghosts better than Maryann. She turned the subject matter into a no-brainer for me and the listening audience. I’m going back into the archives ten years for this interview with Cleveland’s best-known ghostbuster. Beyond stating the case that ghosts are real, the overwritten message is what can happen in the afterlife, when we become so irrevocably stuck to the physical things of this earth.

I had some knock down drag out arguments with God. ‘Where’s my husband? Everyone else is married.’ That’s when I had two dreams about my future husband. ---------- Hi! Trapper Jack here.  I remember reading a much-publicized Newsweek article, almost 20 years ago, that said single women over 40 were more likely to be killed by a terrorist then to find a mate. Cheery thought, yes? Fortunately, it was nonsense, but caught on as a hapless truth of a middle-aged life.  Question… Did you pray to have God provide your spouse? Did you pray after marrying the ‘wrong’ one? Did you receive a sign that your mate was on the way. In other words, was God invited into the discussion? Love conquers all in this podcast episode as Jennifer finally had her marriage prayers answered at age 46. Vickie waited eleven years for the guy to show up that she had seen in a vision. Gina was apparently married to the wrong man for 25 years. Miraculously, a pilgrimage Gina and her husband made to Medjugorje had Gina asking her newly converted fellow, ‘who are you and what did you do with my husband?’ These three stories would fall under the category of, ‘with God, all things are possible.’ Enjoy the podcast! ---------- We Would Like You to Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

"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.

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Many of our podcast guests have included their own Medjugorje stories of repentance, conversion, miraculous healings, and an overall turning back to the will of God. It is even more remarkable how many of these same guests have also experienced what is known as the warning, or the illumination of conscience. This is a period of several minutes where every sin ever committed is revealed. You see how God sees the present state of your soul. This is a moment that many believe we will all be sharing soon. The topic of the Warning leads us to another Marian shrine in Garabandal, Spain. The church has neither approved nor condemned the alleged apparitions of the early 60s. The church is waiting to see whether the three major prophecies come true. They are the warning, the miracle, and the permanent sign.  With the world in such rebellion with God, the upcoming illumination of conscience is the divine reset. It appears to be our last hope of repentance and eternal life. This experience also appears to be included in the ten secrets of the visionaries in Medjugorje. Here is a preview of your upcoming 15 minutes with God. Enjoy the podcast! ---------- The Story of Garabandal Warning https://www.garabandal.info/the-story Garabandal: What the Church Has Said https://www.youtube.com/live/8OewOC50DzA?si=L9DUwr6dUipYZX9B  Fr.

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Did you know there is a cosmology crisis? I thought those were the people who do hair and makeup. I have a couple of links here in the show notes to videos that speak to this crisis. There is enough evidence to believe that God has placed us in the middle of the entire universe. Doesn’t that just sound crazy! Listen to my explanation, then take a look, and listen to those brainiacs who actually understand this stuff. It’s truly fascinating! After that, Matt and Veronica join me for an interesting look at a recent dream Veronica had. If it’s prophetic, it’s a bit scary but also reassuring of upcoming events. See what you think. Is this a dream about our country, our church or what? Enjoy the podcast!

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Spoiler alert. In this podcast episode, we have three seminarians telling the exact same story of being young, strong swimmers, plunging into the ocean and being carried out to a watery grave by a strong riptide.   If this sounds a bit familiar, the Holy Spirit is going to build on this recent topic. In all three drowning seminarian stories, frantic prayers were prayed, and divinely sent angels changed the course of history. God intervened in order that these three men in formation became Fr. John, Fr. Michael, and Fr. Paul. All will swear that they were saved by God to serve Christ. But that is not the end of the story.   This is also a story where Jesus teaches us a lesson about feeling underwater in life. I've added a great message from Fr. John Ricardo about being saved from going under in all possible ways. Enjoy the podcast!   Link to Fr.

Hey there! Trapper here. Apparently, it's time to don my football referee uniform and do a prophetic thing. I'm not the prophet here, just the messenger. Last fall, I was given a dream in which I saw a referee running for a touchdown. Then, I heard the word, 'impartiality.' The key to a good ref is that he is impartial. There is to be no rooting for one side or the other. It's a case of, 'just the facts ma'am.' A few days ago, a friend sent me a video which had the latest prophecy from a woman born in Costa Rica and currently living in Argentina. She has the wounds of Christ on her body, the stigmata. There are many within the church clergy who believe that the messages she receives are true. I'm the ref, I don't know. What got my attention was while watching the YouTube video, at about six minutes into the video, I silently asked Jesus in prayer, 'Is this prophecy something I should be paying attention to?' There are so many supposed visionaries out there, and it seems to me, most are uttering false prophecies. Immediately following my prayer by about 0.5 seconds, the alleged words of Our Lady blew me away. I would rather you hear those words than read them here. You will understand. So, again, I don't know if the prophecy is correct, all I know is that this video got my attention in a special way. But her prophecy includes things like a war involving the U.S., more viruses, tsunamis, and huge earthquakes. It's the kind of stuff that's easy to verify over time.  Enjoy the podcast!

Hi! Trapper Jack here. Happy birthday Mary! The mother of our Lord is about 2038 years old and doesn't look a day over 1873. How does she do it!? I have a very special devotion to the mother of Jesus, since all the signs indicate that she was the one to come after me. She is the one who turned me back to God some 25 years ago.   September 8th is the traditional day that we celebrate Mary's birthday. It also was the day five years ago that I was asked to give a talk about Mary, on her birthday. One of the stories that I told was what had happened just two days before her special day. My wife, Elizabeth, and I were in Eucharistic adoration at our church. Sitting before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is not supposed to be a time to take a nap, but I did. During the snooze, I had a very special dream that was delivering a message to me. As you will hear in this episode, the dream inspired me to learn more about Mary, church history, the Bible, etc. The dream told me to strip away the ignorance that I had about all the above.   Mary's message to me included the same message that she had delivered to all of us 2000 years ago at the wedding feast of Cana. 'Do whatever he tells you.'   So, here is my birthday present to our Lady. It is a reminder of where we have been, where we are now, and where we are going.

Hi! Trapper here. My conversation with Marie, who now lives in London, was eye-opening! She can probably thank her mom for all the incredible experiences that she has received. Marie's faith wavered until her mother's persistent encouragement brought her back to the church. Marie had never heard of our Lady of Fatima and yet dreamt about her and was given a message to share. Marie began reciting the rosary and had an overwhelming experience at 3 a.m. Marie also tells us about a powerful near-death experience and the profound impact it had on her life. There were billions of people all walking toward an incredible loving Light. Nothing has been the same since! She describes feeling immense happiness and peace in the presence of a loving voice that told her to go back and share God's love with the world. My favorite part of the entire interview was what I will call ‘the key.’ All the doors in these experiences were opened with the key. The key is available to all of us.

Hey there! Trapper here. Apparently, it's a thing. My son informs me that it's a trendy thing among podcasters to take several episodes that are related and stick them altogether into one extra extra long podcast. The theory being that if you are interested in that topic as a listener, you will be thrilled and happy to listen to the long form podcast episode. Well, let's test the theory. I have included the legendary Howard Storm NDE. It is probably the most celebrated of all near-death experiences. I interviewed Howard about 10 years ago. Even though he has told the story thousands of times, it always sounds like the first time. For that, he gives the Holy Spirit all the credit. What makes his story a bit different than most, there is no tunnel, no white light, or smiling deceased family members waiting for him. To the contrary, it's the demons who are waiting. Howard, the atheist, received a surprise about the afterlife. Also, in this thicker episode is our friend, Santosh. 'Sandy,' a former Hindu, was surprised to see Jesus on the other side of life, after watching himself die in the hospital. Then, we revisit the impossible drowning story of Dr. Mary Neal, and what happened when a woman woke up in the morgue. And let’s not forget one of our most listened to episodes, the story of Faith and her heaven/hell journey. Decades ago I read the first documented cases on NDE's, Life after Life. It all seems so rare, mysterious, and fascinating! Now we know that here in the U.S. alone, there are literally millions of people who have had these experiences. God continues to give us clues about what waits for us on the other side. The reality is that there is a heaven and yes, a hell. Fortunately, He gives us the roadmap to both. Our choice. Let me know what you think of this type of episode where we bunch a bunch of stories together. I would appreciate feedback. Enjoy the podcast!

Kelley's daughter may be one of the few who remembers being in heaven before being born. At age 3, she crawled up on her mom's lap and began to tell Kelley what she saw from heaven, before she was born into this world. She could look down to earth and see all the beautiful lights. They were not the lights of cities. She was seeing the light of God in people. That's when she saw a particularly bright light. That's when 'I choosed  you mommy.' Kelley recalls how, as a child, she believed she had God in a bottle and carried it with her for comfort. However, she eventually felt a nudge from God to let Him out of the bottle and help others. Throughout her life, Kelley has experienced numerous health issues, but God has never left her side. She also shares a powerful story of how God intervened when she was considering terminating a pregnancy. ---------- Share Your Story If you have a Touched by Heaven moment that you would like to share with Trapper, please leave us a note at https://touchedbyheaven.net/contact Our listeners look forward to hearing about life-changing encounters and miraculous stories every week.

I have two wonderfully entertaining guests in this TBH episode. I revisit episode 172, as Kim and Shannon give us a boatload of divine interventions. Kim was grabbed by both of her shoulders from someone in the back seat of her car, causing her to step on the brake. The angelic encounters saved her life. Shannon was dazzled as she watched her dad, in his hospital bed, point at those who were waiting for him on the other side of this life.  Kim reminds us, 'pay attention.' keep your eyes open to God's reminder that he is walking with us.

Lisa shares a story of a supernatural encounter with a tall biblical figure who saved her and her young son from a pack of angry animals. Was he an angel, or maybe her favorite saint?  Later, a midnight ghost tour in New Orleans released the demonic against her husband. In fact, the only one in the tour that was unaffected by the evil darkness was Lisa, who was clutching her rosary.  Through all the spiritual battles in Lisa's life, what is her takeaway? That with God, there is nothing to fear, not even death.
