Angel Encounters

I was driving home late one night alone. I was getting tired and I believe I sort of dozed off at the wheel and swerved toward the ditch. The next thing I know, I felt the steering wheel jerk in my hands and I was coming off the side of the road, right back onto the road. All the way home it almost felt as if someone was guiding the steering wheel, keeping me safely on the road. I believe that was an angel.

I had a potpourri burner in my room one time, which I had a candle in the bottom and some potpourri in the piece that sat on top. This was sitting on my desk that was in front of the window. I was busy doing some things in my room when all the sudden it began to smell like something was burning. I looked over at the desk and the potpourri was on fire. I ran out yelling something like, "The potpourri's on fire!" and my mom, in a panic, went rushing into my room throwing water on it. Well, that just made it worse. The flames shot up and it literally looked like that whole wall was on fire. My mom and I ran out of the room to get my step-dad, leaving the room empty...no one at all was in the room. When we came back to the room there was no fire there at all. There was a burnt spot on the wall that went all the way up to the ceiling, above the curtains. Yet, the curtains had not one burnt spot on them at all. There was this cross that I had sitting in my window. It was one of those that has a piece of string hanging off the bottom so you can use it as a bookmark. Well, the string was burnt off it, but the cross was untouched...not one single burn spot on that cross. That was definitely being protected! I keep that cross hanging right beside my computer as a constant reminder of God's protection.

I believe my grandpa used to see an angel. He had said numerous times that he saw a lady in a long, white dress. That picture someone posted on here of an angel walking in the woods at night is almost exactly how he described what he saw.

There was also this one time that we (my mom, grandma, grandpa, and I) were going to go to this one town to go visit my aunt and go shopping. Well, Grandpa said that we shouldn't go. We insisted that we wanted to go and he finally said we weren't going because something kept telling him not to go that it's unsafe.
We didn't go and we turn the TV on a while later to see that there was an explosion in that town, right where we were going. We would have gone right through there at the time it had exploded.

One night I had a dream about someone, where they were crying and then something that had to do with a father. So, I started praying for them and their father and whomever they may know who's father may be ill. I got a letter from the person in the dream shortly after, saying that her father-in-law was ill and had to have surgery. He had to go in for surgery the day after I had had that dream. So, I was prompted to pray for him and for her. She may have been crying about it at that exact moment I had the dream.

There was also another time that I was worshiping and suddenly I heard, "Pray for Mrs. K....! Heart attack." So, I instantly went to praying for her and I don't think I've ever prayed so hard in my entire life or for so long at any one time about one thing. That weekend she said that she had to go in for some tests on her heart the past week. I nearly jumped out of my seat when I heard that. I was like, "Oh my! That was true! I must have been led to pray for your protection from that!" She never had a heart attack and the tests came out alright as far as I know.

If you feel led to pray for someone like I had, then please pray for them. It could very well be that your praying for them could keep them safe from harm. And, if you feel any promptings to not do something or to not go someplace, then I'd say listen to it and not do it/not go.

I have had one encounter when I was a teen and home alone. The phone would ring and no one would answer and it was one of those dark nights. I never liked being alone at night especially when I was younger and was so scared. My dog was sitting there with me and she then cocked her head to the side and raised her ears. She wasn't growling or agitated, but it was like she was watching someone walk passed us. It was comforting. And still is.

Years ago I had my car stall on a busy road. I was braced for impact, because of the slick slushy snow that had fallen. Then I felt this power pushing on the front left bumper and then on the right like two mammoth wrestlers were propelling my car backward. About that time and with my hands on the wheel I saw the car "steer itself". I found myself put gently into a snowbank.

I have been in numerous accidents and none of which were my fault and I was not even the driver in one of them. To this day I have no ill effects and have walked away in good health from all of them including one that had legal issues. That to me is so miraculous no matter how many times I tell the stories to people.

I havn't ever seen one, but would love to have the opportunity:)

[FONT=Arial,Helvetica][SIZE=+2]Elizabeth's Celestial Canopy[/SIZE][/FONT] (A True Story)



Three year old Elizabeth finished her prayers and crawled into bed as I tucked her smooth sheets and blanket snugly around her. "Can we play in the snow tomorrow, Mommy?" she asked, watching the fat, white flakes fly by the window. "We'll see," I said. I looked out the window too. The tall trees surrounding our house were being buffeted by the storm, their branches sagging under the weight of the snow.

I kissed her good night and closed the door. The wind whistled, and as I went downstairs I could hear the pines and oaks creak and groan.

Ever since we bought the house I'd been anxious about the trees. That afternoon our neighbor had lost an ancient pine. I worried the storm would knock more down.

Before my husband left to watch a basketball game at a friends house, I asked him to say a prayer with me about the trees. "God keep us safe tonight."

In the family room I started picking up dolls and toys and just then I heard a loud crash above me. The whole house trembled. Even the floorboards beneath my feet shook. I dropped the toys and ran upstairs.

Dear God, don't let it be one of the trees. Elizabeth! that towering pine outside her window!

What if under the weight of the heavy snow.... Heart Hammering, I flung her door wide open. A blast of cold air hit me. The window near her bed was gone. The upper part of the pine tree had knocked it out, leaving behind branches and snow.

I felt glass crunch beneath my slippered feet. Oh my God, Elizabeth must be scared to death. I turned on the lights and rushed to her bedside to lift her from danger. But to my amazement she was still sleeping peacefully. There wasn't any glass on her coverlet or pajamas.

Then i saw them surrounding her. Layer upon layer of wings forming a feathery canopy above her sleeping form. Luminescent angels bowed their heads, spreading their wings over her, shielding Elizabeth from harm. She was nestled in the center of this celestial cocoon, warm and safe.


As I stood there, the shimmering glow suddenly vanished. I scooped Elizabeth into my arms, hearing her mumble sleepily, and rushed her out of the damaged, cold room.

The next morning Elizabeth and I ventured back to her bedroom. Holding her hand, I gingerly stepped over the threshold. My husband was tacking a tarp over the broken window. His eyes filling with tears, he said, "Honey, look."

Together we walked over to the bed. Thousands of pieces of broken glass lay on the floor, sparkling in the morning sun. Needle-sharp shards were scattered on all 4 sides of her bed. My husband ran his hands over the blankets, sheets and pillows. Not a single splinter of glass was on Elizabeth's bed.

"Last night when I came into your room," I said to Elizabeth, "I saw layer upon layer of wings wrapped around you, protecting you and ........"

"Oh Mommy," she interrupted, "I know about the angels. One of them patted me on the head before it left!"

I would love to see an Angel(I think)...
I've seen a Demon twice...Nobody probably believes this but I have seen a demon twice.I was not living my life for the Lord at the time I seen this creature.That is the only way I can describe it.Kinda like a big foot looking thing,except it was beside of my bed.Some would say a dream,maybe I'm not sure but it was real enough for me.

No I'm not a Banana:eek:

I don't think I ever had an experience with an angel, but my dad did.

From what I remember, my dad came home after church one day. When he came inside the house, he realized that his wallet was missing. He started to freak out, but the first thing he did was pray. Minutes later, somebody started to knock on his door. It was an old woman, with my father's wallet in her hands. She asked him, "Is this yours?", he replied "Yes", she gave it to him, and she was off. My dad was amazed at how this could've have happened.

Zechariah 1:18-21
the horns and the carpenters

Then lifted I up mine eyes, and saw, and
behold four horns.
And I said unto the angel that talked with
me, What be these? And he answered me,
These are the horns which have scattered
Judah, Israel, and Jerusalem.
And the Lord showed me four carpenters.
Then said I, What came these to do? And
he spake, saying, Judah, so that no man did
lift up his head: but these are come to fray
them, to cast out the horns of the Gentiles,
which lifted up their horn over the land of
Judah to scatter it.

The Lord used me as an angel quite a few times.

A few days ago, I was planning which route to take home, as my regular route was jammed up. So, the Holy Spirit directs me to take the usual route. So, I leave the parking basement, and get ready to turn at the next traffic signal, as usual. Then, He told me to carry on straight. Well, we do get tested, don't we. :)

So, after arriving at the on-ramp, I see a man, standing there. I just knew in my heart he was hitch hiking, even though he was just standing there. Then, the Lord tells me, "Help him - he is Mine.". So, I pick him up, and we start to chat. As it turns out, he was indeed a child of God, needing a ride. He was visiting his wife in hospital, and needed a ride home, 200 miles further. Then, I told him that I don't usually take that route, and that the Lord told me that he is His child, and that I should help him.
He was touched - deeply. So much so that we both praised the Lord. So, after getting him something to eat and drink and giving him enough cash to finish his journey we parted our ways.

It is amazing how our Father arranges things so meticulously. First, testing me, whether I would take the slow route, and then giving the blessing of such a testimony. Glory to God! :clap:
