TRUE ENCOUNTERS WITH ANGELS
Some people believe that angels are all around us - watching over us - protecting us and delivering messages from God. While others think that angels are simply created from the faith or imagination of those desiring to believe in a higher power.
Whether someone believes in angels or not, depends greatly on their belief in the Bible and in a supreme power. And, while angels are very interesting supernatural beings, they're also greatly misunderstood. Their exact purpose/roles in our lives and even their appearances often vary.
One common misconception is that we too can become angels when we die. The Bible states that God created angels as separate beings, beings that are quite different from humans. Angels were created to praise God and bestowed with great wisdom, power and given personal freedom.
Angels are mentioned hundreds of times throughout the Bible and appeared many times. An angel told the virgin Mary she was with child. An angel announced the birth of Jesus, ministered to him when he fasted for 40 days and even gave him strength as he prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane.
Angels are spiritual creatures and have spiritual bodies. They can take on the appearance of many things, but usually appear to us in a human form. And, while angels are messengers of God, the fact that one third of all the angels in heaven were cast out with Lucifer, proves they have free will and can make their own decisions.
Even though our knowledge of angels originates from the Bible, angels still play an important role in modern times. Many people even today, have had personal encounters with an angel. In some cases, the angels appear as magnificent winged creatures and in others they look just like everyone else. But, have no doubt they are watching over us all the time.
The results of a survey revealed that about 71 percent of American's do believe in angels, although only about one-third say they have had an encounter with an angel. In one true angel story, a lost 2-year-old was safely carried to his front door by angels. He told his parents that he wasn't afraid because the angels said they would protect him.
One pregnant women had an ultra sound that revealed two heads. Thinking she was having twins, she was quite surprised when only one baby was born. But, the baby was 3 months premature and had to remain in the hospital under nurses care. When a picture of the baby was taken, an angel was beside with her. Could her angel have been in the womb with her the whole time?
In yet another true angel encounter, two women were in a basement cleaning out the belongings of a deceased friend. A brightly lit, white figure appeared in the middle of the basement, pointed toward a door and told them to get out! When they returned, the basement had fallen in.
Whether it's a rescue from a life threatening situation or just a comforting spirit in a time of need, angels are often there right when you need them. But, you may not always see them, an angel could just simply be that soft voice in the back of your mind, you know, that little voice we'd rather call intuition!
