Angel Encounters

[czali]

...She said that just after that prayer a semi trailer truck pulled behind her. She got out and went back to the truck and he waved hre to the passenger side and opened the door. The driver gave her hot coffee and soup and a blanket while he used a CB radio to call for a tow truck. He waited with her until the tow showed up.

She thanked him and got out to meet the tow guy and said she would be right back. She met the tow mechanic and said that he had been quick! He said he was just in the area and got no call. My ex said 'but that driver called you'. The tow operator said "what truck", she looked and no truck. and no truck tracks either!

She is sure it was an angel sent to protect her.

and gave her something to eat too!! Manna from heaven!! That is a good one!!!

I love this thread!! I have angel stories..

My first one.. this one is before i got saved.. I was traveling, driving, on 95 south, east coast, NY to Florida.. my car was having problems.. it would not do over 30-35 mph and I was on the hwy where you have to go faster than that.. every time I would get behind a semi though I could whatever speed the semi was doing.. I kept thinking.. maybe an angel tied a rope to that truck.. so I get to a place where I need to make a sharp exit right to 75 south.. and there is a massive lot of traffic on my right.. I was stuck in the left lane.. my car jolting along.. I am about to try to move right.. going way too slow and suddenly this semi comes roaring up next to me, on the right still.. I felt an invisible hand take the steering wheel of my car and guide it safely away from the big truck.. I missed that truck by about half an inch.. and then I safely moved over right and exited the highway. and from that day forward I have known I am not alone.

I got saved in Florida a couple years later.. around the same time that the revival was going on in Brownsville, however I knew nothing about that.. but everytime I would put my headphones on to listen to the radio, no matter which station.. I would hear this group of women praying in spanish I have no idea where it was coming from.. I got saved within a few weeks of that, an awesome salvation.. presence of God the whole bit very awesome salvation.. I was traveling again a year later.. I took a wrong turn off the hwy, ended up on some dirt road that was getting skinnier and skinnier and there was so much mud I couldn't turn around without getting into a ditch.. but I try to turn around anyway and sure enough I end up in the ditch.. try to get out.. the spinning wheels just kept digging me deeper into the mud.. I get out of the car.. looking around.. corn fields.. mud.. a red house I can the roof barely, about a mile to the west, a white house I can see a mile to the north.. I am just standing there wondering what to do.. it's late afternoon this is not good.. and then there was a big booming voice about 10 feet above me.. he said.. "(my name), go to that white house over there, he has a truck and will pull you out." So I walk there, knock on the door, explain the situation, the man at the house says 'No problem I have a truck I can pull you out".. and he did just that.

Now what's really funny.. I am out of the ditch, the car is covered in mud.. the guy told me not to go back but to head straight and there would be place I could safely turn around.. so I drive a mile or so, make the turn he suggested, and lo and behold in the middle of nowhere is one of those do it yourself car washes! Of course I stopped and washed the car before getting back onto the hwy!

I have more.. most recently, last year, I was up real late one evening singing and praising the Lord.. and the next morning I was awakened by the sound of angels singing 'alleluia alleliua'.. lady voices!

I have a picture of an angel too, how do I post photos here?

John 5:1-4
the pool of Bethseda

After this there was a feast of the Jews; and Jesus went up to Jerusalem.

Now there is at Jerusalem by the sheep market a pool, which is called in the Hebrew tongue Bethseda, having five porches.

In these lay a great multitude of impotent folk, of blind, halt, withered, waiting for the moving of the water.

For an angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.

CHERUBIM

 

[lilmissmontana]

We don't know whether every angel carries out the same tasks, or whether some of them specialize in certain areas. The Bible does speak about classes of angelic beings like cherubim (Ezekiel 1) and seraphim (Isaiah 6). We also know the names of two notable angels: Michael (Daniel 10:13; Jude 9) and Gabriel (Daniel 9:21; Luke 1:19,26).

The unnamed angels who appear most often in Scripture carry out a variety of tasks—all designed to serve God…

• Worship and praise - This is the main activity portrayed in heaven (Isaiah 6:1-3; Revelation 4-5).
• Revealing - They serve as messengers to communicate God's will to men. They helped reveal the law to Moses (Acts 7:52-53), and served as the carriers of much of the material in Daniel, and Revelation.
• Guiding - Angels gave instructions to Joseph about the birth of Jesus (Matthew 1-2), to the women at the tomb, to Philip (Acts 8:26), and to Cornelius (Acts 10:1-8).
• Providing - God has used angels to provide physical needs such as food for Hagar (Genesis 21:17-20), Elijah (1 Kings 19:6), and Christ after His temptation (Matthew 4:11).
• Protecting - Keeping God's people out of physical danger, as in the cases of Daniel and the lions, and his three friends in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3 and 6).
• Delivering - Getting God's people out of danger once they're in it. Angels released the apostles from prison in Acts 5, and repeated the process for Peter in Acts 12.
• Strengthening and encouraging - Angels strengthened Jesus after His temptation (Matt 4:11), encouraged the apostles to keep preaching after releasing them from prison (Acts 5:19-20), and told Paul that everyone on his ship would survive the impending shipwreck (Acts 27:23-25).
• Answering prayer - God often uses angels as His means of answering the prayers of His people (Daniel 9:20-24; 10:10-12; Acts 12:1-17).
• Caring for believers at the moment of death - In the story of Lazarus and the rich man, we read that angels carried the spirit of Lazarus to “Abraham's bosom” when he died (Luke 16:22).

1 Corinthians 6:2,3,4,5
Christians and the law

Do ye not know that the saints shall judge
the world? and if the world shall be judged
by you, are ye unworthy to judge the small-
est matters? Know ye not that we shall judge
angels? how much more things that pertain
to this life? If then ye have judgements of
things pertaining to this life, set them to judge
who are least esteemed in the church. I speak
to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a
wise man among you? no, not one that shall
be able to judge between his brethren?

Hebrews 13:2
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

OH I like these pictures!

I don't think I've ever seen an angel. A friend of mine though who passed away several years ago was a missionary in Indonesia. He had a testimony. He said when he got there they told him if he got into a traffic accident to get certain information from the other person and certain other things he should do.

Well, someone hit his car and drove away. He followed the guy into a factory and followed him around. Eventually, he found himself surrounded by a group of people. He said a really tall Indonesian guy with a Texas accent told him to get into his car and drive away or those people would kill him. He directed him to the car. The crowd parted, and he got back in the car.

There was someone waiting for him in the car. He thought about it and realized the Texan Indonesian guy was unusual and asked if those other guys had seen him. The other person in the car did not see him.

Genesis 32:24-32
Jacob wrestles with an angel

And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man
with him until the breaking of the day.


And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he
touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's
thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him.

And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said,
I will not let thee go, except thou bless me.

And he said unto him, What is thy name? And he said, Jacob.

And he said, Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but
Israel: for as a prince hast thou power with God and with
men, and hast prevailed.

And Jacob asked him, and said, Tell me, I pray thee, thy
name. And he said, Wherefore is it that thou dost ask af-
ter my name? And he blessed him there.

And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have
seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

And as he passed over Penuel the sun rose upon him, and
he halted upon his thigh.
Therefore the children of Israel eat not of the sinew which
shrank, which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day:
because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh in the sinew
that shrank.

Revelation 11:15
the seventh trumpet

And the seventh angel sounded; and there were great
voices in heaven, saying,
The kingdoms of the world are become the kingdom of our
Lord, and of his Christ; and he shall reign for ever and ever.

judgement on false teachers
Jude 9

Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed a
bout the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation,
but said, The Lord rebuke thee.

 

[Rhamiel]

the Book of Tobit has the angel Raphael in it, very good book to read

Matthew 18:10
temptations to sin

Take heed that ye despise not one of these little
ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their an-
gels do always behold the face of my Father which
is in heaven.

I started working at a new place recently, and everyone there was so nice. I get along with everyone there, but there is one guy I cannot go near. I used to try, but everytime I would, I felt like i was being pulled on from behind, like something had my body and just was not letting me go near this man.
I later found out that he is into the occult, and often gets violent towards christians. I really want to save him, but for the life of me I cannot get near him. I believe God holds me back for my safety, and its not my place to give this man the word. When God tells me to I will though
My dad used to be a really violent alcoholic too. I believe that sometimes God uses people we were close to as "guardian angels", i know its cliche, but I really do think that god uses the most pure people we know to look over us. My great grandmother passed away a few years back, back when my dad would get so drunk all the time. Just before she died, she pulled him in really close, and even thoguh all of my mothers side of the family hated him, she told him that she had always loved him. She died not long after that. Within 2 months my father stopped drinking and smoking, and it was all because of Gods glory But I think he used my grandmother as well, i sometimes see her in dreams standing with God

There have been times when I am near someone and I get this slimy feeling all over me. Later on, I would learn that this person was involved in sexual sin. It took me awhile, but now when that happens I know to start praying for that person and his or her soul to be delivered from bondage.

Genesis 19:1
The two angels arrived at Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gateway of the city. When he saw them, he got up to meet them and bowed down with his face to the ground.
