At those restricted and blocked accident scenes, law enforcement will set up a perimeter. Only ones allowed in are other first responders, family and clergy. Clergy is usually called but almost every time they are transported to the scene by the police. In 35 years as LEO I have never seen clergy walk up to an accident scene.
Clergy are usually called? That's news to me.
But I do know of a story where a semi-"well known" preacher stopped at the scene of a multiple vehicle accident. Many other people were there too, other than first responders.
If memory serves..it went something like this;
Taken from one vehicle was a young woman pronounced dead at the scene. Seeing he could not do much to otherwise assist, the as the man told it (wrote it in a book I think --- and I think I have the book, too, so will fact-check upon request) he began to pray for the young woman. Being as there were multiple other injuries (and possibly some distance drive from hospitals and the like) and only a few ambulances, the young woman was not taken from the scene for some time. I don't remember exactly how long...but 45 minutes or more comes to mind.
The young woman was revived, came back to life-- survived.
The man (who is now himself deceased) was Dennis Tinerino. Interestingly enough, right at this very moment I am wearing one of his old shirts which his wife gave me, with herself thoughtfully bringing it and a few others to me when they came to visit a few churches near my area, them coming from their home in the Los Angeles area. Nita thought of me, instead of throwing them out, or giving them to charity. I do thank her for that...and would that I could in some way be able to bless her significantly, financially, in the future, hopefully soon.
Things may be tough for her...I admit I have lost track, though I do think of them (and her as surviving widow) fairly often.
Dennis was a word-of-faith preacher...but he was the real thing. Though he himself was not perfect (he could tell you that, and would confess to it, if still alive to be able to tell you) the Lord did use Dennis powerfully, at times. Probably more than I know, but some more directly, and personally, I do know.
Dennis did mention that he thought one of the responders at the scene of that accident, may have recognized him. If that person did, and knew who he was, knew he was a minister of sorts, perhaps that is why no one stopped him from praying over the young woman? I think I remember Dennis relating that he was expecting to be told to stop--- but kept on praying. I think he was asking God to restore her life. Knowing Dennis (he was pretty bold in things of Spirit) I could see him doing so, asking and asking with everything he had. As he told it -- it worked. It happened. The dead woman was brought back to life, in this world...
I'm fairly certain he wrote about the incident in a book entitled "Super Size Your Faith".
Every now and then the miraculous occurs. Usually --- quietly, with few noticing. Over the years I have come to believe that one reason that God is so quiet about it (God hardly ever does anything for just one reason --- He is Holy, all works together with His every action) is that it is best if He hides His own hand, so to speak.
It is easy enough to see any move of the Spirit have it's imitators.
Could you imagine what it would be like for a person to begin reviving the newly deceased? The press of many trying to obtain the same for their own departed, along with those who would attempt to imitate, or try to force it (or fake it, for notoriety).
And that's not to mention the doubters, who wouldn't believe it if it were to occur before their very eyes.
It is like that with lesser things --- and was like that with Christ Himself who did more than just raise two men from death. Why would it be different now?
There were fakers then..there are fakers now, along with the hopeful who do try (and frequently fail) but every now and then, do for whatever reason "connect".
Smith Wigglesworth comes to mind. Dennis was somewhat of his mold (but different, for we are all individuals, with combinations of things, backgrounds, experience, and personalities of our own).
The spirit of the prophet, is subject to the prophet (for both better and worse?)
