THE ANGELS AMONG US

Posted on August 23, 2023 by atimetoshare.me

Do you ever feel that God has deserted you? When I start thinking that way, I need to remember all the times when God’s angels interceded in my life. There was the time I worked at a loan company and two masked robbers came in brandishing guns and demanding cash.  I was only 21 years old. My young life flashed before my eyes as I handed over the key to the cash drawer. Then I was told to hit the floor and put my hands over my head. As I sat there, all my years flashed before me. I felt certain I was going to be found dead. I survived.

There was another time. My body laid lifeless on the operating table after a minor surgery. My blood pressure had dropped to dangerous levels. I felt my life slipping away as I witnessed the entire scene from above.  God sent angels of mercy in the form of skilled medical personnel. I survived.

When I thought everything was running smoothly, I realized that it wasn’t. My husband’s successful business failed. We were faced with life changing challenges. It seemed that we might be living in a cardboard box somewhere. Our home went into foreclosure. We left bankruptcy court with a few dollars between us. Those we considered to be true friends, deserted us. We had to start from scratch to rebuild our lives. Those who truly were our friends, helped us find work and rebuild. I believe they were angels too. We survived.

I’m certain that everyone I’ve met in this life has entertained angels without even realizing it. We all face tough times. We face problems every day. We are challenged in our faith life and we turn away from God. He knows all about trouble. He saw His creation fall into sin. He saw the ugliness that once was a paradise. He saw how mankind changed and continues to do so. Still, He loves us so much that He provides a way for us to be with Him forever. Because of that, we all survive.

God doesn’t promise that life will be easy if we follow Him. In fact, it may get worse, but He makes it very easy to hope for eternity in heaven. He is waiting there for us, surrounded by an army of angels. WE WILL SURVIVE!

I THINK WE ALL LEARN FROM EACH OTHER, SO IF YOU HAVE A SURVIVAL STORY, OR ONE THAT INCLUDES AN ENCOUNTER WITH ANGELS, LET’S HEAR FROM YOU!

About atimetoshare.me

As I reach the end of my years, I find I have a lot of good information stored up in this old decrepit mind of mine. If I don't write it all down, it may vanish and no one will have the advantage of my thoughts. This is why this blog exists. I love the Lord, Jesus with all my heart and soul. I know I'm undeserving of all He's done for me, but I also know that His love is beyond my comprehension. I've always wanted to write. I never kept diaries, but tucked my thoughts in my head for future reference. I use them now in creating stories, plays, poetry and my blog. I continue to learn every day. I believe the compilation of our time spent with God will have huge affect on the way we live. I know I'm a sinner and I need a Savior. I have One through Jesus, Christ. My book, "Stages - a memoir," is about the seven stages of life from the perspective of a woman. It addresses all the things girls and women go through in life as they travel it with Jesus, and it is available on Amazon.com.

    Amazing stories Kathy. I have a couple of survival stories I will share sometime . I am so encouraged with your story of witnessing the situation on the surgery table from above. It confirms others accounts of near death experiences. I am wondering what kind of emotions you felt. Was it peaceful, or frightening?

    It is truly amazing how God preserves us, despite hard circumstances. I have had angelic assistance many times and one of the most frequent times is when driving a car. Cars have served suddenly towards me and we did not make contact. I have been a passenger in cars many times when the driver came within an inch of causing an accident but we did not have one.

    Good reminder of the work God does in our lives. In fact, God is so good at His job that we have to stay conscience to the reality that He is working on our behalf 24/7.

    Kathy, you’ve survived some serious situations! Praise God for each intervention. I wrote a blog entry about angels intervening for me too:

    Amen! Kathy, I agree with you about the angels among us. We will face many trials in our natural lives, big and small. The Spirit opens our hearts to accept encouragement from others while we give of ourselves for others. Keeping you and Paul in my thoughts and prayers.
