Touched By an Angel?

[Powemm]

I don't know , the angel in my dream was defiantly male
, interestingly enough .. A couple of days later I was sharing the dream with a friend at work , I was a bit in disbelief about if it had actually happened .. I asked god to confirm .. Anyway there is a cemetery I drive by everyday sometimes twice .. I don't know anyone in it nor have I ever been drawn to it , curious about it or ever had a desire to go in there .. One day about three days after the dream of the angel .., something told me to pull in there .. I was like "what??" cemeteries have to do with death .. but I obeyed and went .. I drove down a street came to a place to turn left or right .. Sat there a minute and waited "left " okay , so left I Went .. As I drove around a curve I I knew immediately why I was there ..
There before me was the most beautiful angel headstone i have ever seen.. The angel was on it's knees, it's arm draped over the entire headstone with it's head laying on it's arm over the top of a name .. "Roberts". as I drove off I slammed the brakes on and goosebumps climbed from the tips of my toes to the ends of my hairs ... My oldest brothers name is Robert .. I have goosebumps again telling this story ... Anyway .. At the time my brother was in Afghanistan ... I began to pray a prayer to God asking for His protection and safety ... About two weeks later we found out that his platoon had been fired upon .. 14 of his comrades lost their lives .. his life had been spared .. All praise , glory, and Honor, be to Gods name

Sorry this is a little off topic, angels have a gender? I know they have male names but are they all male?

...not sure..., these were my experiences...

...I have often wondered the same myself..., would love to think there are female angelic type beings tho ...(would love to marry one - in some place on some star; an 'angelic type being' which is probably more correct ... )...

...maybe there are different 'orders and types' of angels??

...maybe the angels might have the female element fully integrated within themselves also..., but still appear male...(seems most likely)

...all I know is what I have experienced, and every time, the nobility and purity of God was conveyed in a very clear, tangeable and significant manner...

There are no words to express how I feel right now, what you did was beyond what was required of you. Your selfless love for your friend just shows that you have the heart and mind of Jesus,I cannot get over how wonderful you are for saving her like that. Truly God shows favor on you and truly he must be very proud of you, I am very proud of you myself. If i had blessing from god I would give them to you because of what you did, But i have none so I will ask Jesus to bless you even more if he has already. what you did was so amazing that it was surely announced in all of heaven and you are going to have such a welcome party when you go home and I will be amongst them cheering you on as you receive your very large and beautiful crown. I thank the lord for people like you

I'm nothing special. God is no respecter of persons. When we get to Heaven we will all know how much we are loved in ways we never dreamed of, anyone could of prayed for her. But that thankx for the kind words.

"Karen" described the angels as being quite tall, thier heads almost touched the ceiling. They appeared to be male and muscular. I believe there are different kinds of angels, so who knows, maybe some look female?

 

[Powemm]

I've heard some whoppers, but that one takes the cake. I never seen so many decieved people on 1 site.

There are many verses in the bible depicting angels .. I too was in disbelief until it happened .. But after it does happen and you have an encounter , it casts out the lie they do not exist ..
I get where you're coming from ., However the evidence is overwhelming .. angels are of God .. Those leading towards god are trustworthy any coming with a message or try to Lead us away from God are untrustworthy.. This is where discernment of the Holy Spirit comes in ..
God bless you in Christ my friend ..

Just for reference sake : Matthew 13:41
The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil.
Matthew 13:49
This is how it will be at the end of the age. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous
Matthew 16:27
For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

Yes, the one I encountered "I believe was St Michael " after researching, everything about his appearance and the time he appeared "I was working in advanced cardiology with heart transplant patients .." matches up exactly with His description ..
Very tall and very muscular ... I am adopted , one of the very first things my adoptive grandmother "who is te only person (who is the first person who introduced Christ to me) told me .. "I can see St Michael is your guardian angel"
I thought grandma was a little crazy back then .. I was five .. Well grandma? I got ya now!

This is not about angels, but it sort of fits in here.

I was working out in the desert, almost 200 miles away from home. It was the end of the day and I was excited to go home and be with my family because tomorrow was thanksgiving and now work. The buses pulled up opened their doors and without looking at the time, I got in.

The general foreman came in and asked me if I was an electrician. I said yes and he responded with "Today is your last day, you are fired." I was shocked. I have never been fired in my life. I am a good worker and far from a trouble maker. I got off the bus and he walked up to me and said in an angry tone "You should've known better".

Eventually I got back on the bus and felt miserable. I figured I would be handed my check and a pink slip on Monday. The whole weekend I was upset over what had happened. Monday I reported to my foreman what had happened. He asked if he got my name and I said "No". He then said, "Don't worry about it."

At the end of the day, I took my usual seat on the bus back to Indio and felt relieved. I figured my job was safe. Then I had a vision. I saw what looked like a picture in a frame. The background I could see a flash of lightning coming from dark clouds and big waves. This picture, I could see the waves moving. In the center of the picture I could see Jesus looking directly at me and he did not move like the background did. I felt love and peace come from Him. His eyes were the most beautiful eyes I had ever seen, a brilliant blue. The picture looked dark but His eye stood out in contrast to everything else.

It suddenly dawned on me what this picture was about. Going thru deliverance I had told some people who were hurting and going thru all sorts of hell; "Don't do a Peter and look at the big waves, keep your eyes on Jesus". Referencing the story of how Peter had walked on water with Jesus until he saw the waves and became scared, then sunk like a rock. Jesus had just fed me my own lines! I still laugh at this. He was telling me to not look at the waves, but to look on Him.

This is awesome ! Thank you for typing it out To share with us .. Beautiful!
The word "cloud" stuck out like a neon word .. These scriptures come with it

2 Samuel 22:10
He parted the heavens and came down; dark clouds were under his feet.

2 Samuel 22:12
He made darkness his canopy around him— the dark rain clouds of the sky.
Job 37:13
He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.

Job 38:34
“Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water? ( reminds me of the dark clouds you spoke of being like rain clouds that water the earth)

Psalm 68:4
Sing to God, sing in praise of his name, extol him who rides on the clouds; rejoice before him—his name is the Lord.

Psalm 97:2
Clouds and thick darkness surround him; righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
Psalm 104:3
and lays the beams of his upper chambers on their waters. He makes the clouds his chariot and rides on the wings of the wind.

God bless

I was living on the West Coast just south of Alaska on the Canadian side. I was pregnant with my third child, and it was the Easter long weekend. My doctor, who was the anesthesiologist was out of town. The ob-gyn was out of town. In fact, they just had this one new doc, who had never done a C-section or forceps delivery. My first two baby boys were complex deliveries and required a lot of interventions.

I was scared, so we got our church and many other churches praying. We left the older two boys at our friends' house, our sons were sleeping with their boys. We just kept praying for the peace of God. As the night progressed, it was like the room was filled with light. I had almost no pain as labour progressed. Instead of feeling scared, I trusted God completely, even though I had no idea what would happen to me or my baby if I needed a C-section.

By morning, all the nurses in the hospital must have visited, because they said it felt more like a church than a delivery room. One nurse said, it felt like there were angels all around. My son was delivered normally, although his eyes were bruised because he was so big, and he came out so fast. He was 9 pounds 9 ounces, and I was not able to deliver a 5 pound baby without interventions.

The doctor later told my husband if the baby had come 1/4 inch either way, he would have been stuck and we both would have died. He said he had never heard of a birth that was so close to tragedy that went so well. My husband went to pick up our other boys, and the son of our friends had gotten up in the middle of the night, and he had seen a BIG angel standing over them, protecting them.

The first name I had picked for my boy was Simon. The middle name I had picked weeks before the delivery was Gabriel.

I did not see angels, although the small child did. But something dramatic happened in that delivery room, I do know God answered prayers that day!

Several years ago there were horrendous fires which completely wiped out a mobile home community. A few friends and I went to the local shelter to minister to the victims. When I was there I spoke with a little old lady. She was at least in her 80's if not older. She had no family or friends nearby. She was completely alone. I encouraged her and in the end led her to Christ. Because all her possessions had been burned in the fire I asked if she'd like me to bring her a bible and she said yes. The following day I returned with a bible for her and she was gone. Everyone was registered, and no one had ever seen her. How does an 80+ yr. old women with no friends or family just disappear?

...I know I've had similar experiences --- somehow, some things just seem pulled from my memory ...

 

[enoch1nine]

How does an 80+ yr. old women with no friends or family just disappear?

Sometimes like this:
"Inasmuch as ye have done unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done unto me."

"And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus."

"Unto the messenger of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks"

The stars and candlesticks are us. What if every servant gets to shake His hand or hug Him and doesn't even know it? The very thought of it should make the heart tremble with fear and joy!

I almost forgot .. last thanksgiving .. I was at my brothers house .. he built a fire in his fire place and I randomly took a photo
"I do photography as a side hobby " I went home that evening and began editing and photoshopping, putting together a collage of the events to send to everyone when a thought of the fire came to mind as a nice touch .. When I pulled the picture up to edit it , I about fell out of my chair to the floor.. In the photo I immediately saw two golden angels made of fire.
One angel was in the upper right hand corner of the fire place holding a scroll out in front if him.. I say him because the angel had the face of a man with the same brown curly hair that matched the angel that came to me in my dream later .
He was facing towards another angel (no face , completely golden) that was in the lower left hand corner standing on the ground of the fireplace . Between them is a square box that has fire flowing from
It to the ground . Like a pouring out of some kind .. I sent the picture "unedited and in raw format to my brother and asked if this was my imagination or if I was really seeing what I was seeing .. he confirmed ..

I am careful when these things happen . I feel it important to mention that God wants all the glory, call upon Him (not Angels) to send His legions of angels for protection.. Thanking Him as well when they appear .. I send my prayers to God not angels as it is God who is to be esteemed over them .

Sounds like some pretty awesome ark of the covenant imagery to me. One angel, God's messenger, facing your side of the seat, and another messenger, yours, facing His side of the seat.

"I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me."

 

[TruthTalk]

I must say thank you to everyone for sharing your true life events. I am always encourage when I read scripture accounts of people who have been touched by an angel such as Joseph and Mary and Zechariah. I see plenty of evidence in scripture for the belief of Divine intervention by angels in my life and yours. Wonderful and amazing praise God!

Psalm34:7
"The angel of the LORD encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them."

 

[NiceneCreed]

I could not have said it better!


Grace and Peace!

So how do you all know it was an angel and not a demon? Demons can appear as an angel of light. Why would God speak to you through and angel and not through His word? 2 Cor 11:13-15

For the cause of Christ
Roger

This is a really good point. Satan can do many things and he certainly can make some impressive counterfeit angels. Just something to think about and be wary of. The bible says to test the spirits.

These stories are amazing! Thank you for sharing them ; we are just testifying more of Gods goodness.
I have many stories as well, I will share a short one.
When my daughter was born she would often stare just behind my shoulder... this went on for years.
When she was 3, and verbal, she would describe to me the giant angel that stood over her.
Around this same age -- perhaps closer to 5, she was drawing a picture of her daddy who was suffering from a sore back at the time. (we had been praying for him) Daddy was lying down in the picture, and over him she drew a huge angel.
rev.12:10-12 (NIV)

[SUP]10 [/SUP]Then I heard a loud voice in heaven say:
“Now have come the salvation and the power
and the kingdom of our God,
and the authority of his Messiah.
For the accuser of our brothers and sisters,
who accuses them before our God day and night,
has been hurled down.
[SUP]11 [/SUP]They triumphed over him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony;
they did not love their lives so much
as to shrink from death.
[SUP]12 [/SUP]Therefore rejoice, you heavens
and you who dwell in them!
