Don't get me started on the prayer cloths.  |
I can understand that.

I can see why you might feel that way.

Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits
Even little kids know better than to speak to the Angels. My son did not speak to the Angel at all.

Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits
I've thought I saw angels on various occasions. They were never in "humanoid" form. I saw them as what looked like "pillars of light" or bright "flashes of light". And it was nearly always out of the corner of my eye. The moment I looked, they'd be gone. So, when I saw them I'd not move my head and keep my eyes fixed. Several times I watched them move through the room through my peripheral... occasionally rising towards the ceiling. I was left breathless.

I have heard God's voice as if he were there in the room with me. He said, "I will be with you."

I think that was the worst trial of my life. But He was there.

Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits
With regards to prayer cloths I've heard testimonies about how a mother hid a prayer cloth in a son or daughter's pillow and God delivered them from alcohol and/or drug abuse.
There is something to it.

Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits
And this brings me back to the actual subject of the thread... we've drifted from being as spiritual as I think believers used to be. Today... I'm not so sure that we are open enough or have the faith to actually see or hear from a holy angel should it be sent to us.

I don't think I agree with that. I believe there are many committed and wouldn't necessarily share these experiences.
