<<The question then comes up, is it your prayer circle from the Church accessing their connection to God to change probabilities, or is it a more direct diivine intervention, independent of the intent of people>>
This really is an excellent question. I have personally been the beneficiary of direct, life-saving intervention. And because I was about a few seconds of being killed without even knowing it at the time (I was a young child), there was literally no opportunity for prayer.
An entity I can only describe as an angel or helper, but in full human form (behind the wheel of a car that subsequently disappeared into thin air), arrived at the precise time to scare off a man who was about to strangle me. All of this happened along side of a relatively remote stretch of a rural road that cars rarely traveled.
On the other hand, Don has mentioned several times that intense prayer for those with illnesses had little or no effect. And in one strange case, the person did recover from her illness only to be killed via (I think) a car accident.
I don't think there is any particular protocol involved. Those on the other side seem to have their own criteria and march to their own beat regardless of how intensely we humans want their intervention.
Sometimes they respond, sometimes they don't. So far I don't think anyone knows why.
