Title: Angels Crossing America Post by: Elias2k on May 03, 2005, 10:51:27 PM Angels Crossing America
I write this after contemplating the question “How can we Americans truly find happiness and love in our lives today?” After praying, studying and meditating on this question I have discovered some truths for life (revealed), which if put into practice just might enrich us affording us happier and healthier lives. What I write here is based upon personal and spiritual experiences therefore affording me knowledge, happiness, faith, and hope. First, I must tell a short personal story on how my own life evolved. When my life began, my mother and father after birth had me committed to GOD, as they felt so inclined to do at that time and in a very special way. Since that time, I have developed a very special and unique spiritual connection to him and his creation. I do not tell you this to brag or make light but to testify that GOD in spite of other people and things has truly blessed me repeatedly in very awesome and unique ways. You see I had a very troubled childhood filled with abuse from very abusive and even angry ugly people at times. I never showed these angry ones disrespect as a young person or adult because God gave me a heart of endurance and patience with others. It seems these never ever really tried to see who I was as some tried to fit me in a mold that people whom were more correct wanted. This usually results in tremendous suffering to a person and even severe tragedy. I tell you this personal information about me because I want to share how God’s hand has helped me as I have endured abuse from certain other people just because I am perceived different “Super Quiet” and a bit more eccentric and sensitive than most other modern social stereotypes. The positive here is thru all of this and time GOD has blessed me in unique ways affording me never to loose my faith and hope. I will tell you now God’s promises are as concrete with faith mixing in like water and thus starting the whole process giving you a wonderful love, happiness, and everlasting hope. Faith is hearing, believing, and acting which in time gives us love, happiness, and hope and thru these, our eventual sanctification, and salvation. I know many of you can associate with what I say here as many have faced those eventual trials and storms of life. My wife and I are no strangers to storms and trials as we have just celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary and have lost one child from unnatural and tragic events. For me personally life has not always been the Bed of Roses some might enjoy as God has had very special plans for me since I came to this earth. Simply put God has made me to be obedient and sometimes with a price tag attached but in return, he gave me a special heart and relationship to him. On the positive side of this, I have enjoyed many victories in life the likes of which has only taught, revealed, humbled, and strengthened me personally. From where I stand spiritually today, God has blessed me not in materialistic ways but with knowledge and gifts gained thru experiences of faith, study, and obedience. By acting thru faith, and observing this over time one can become familiar with his hand and therefore become witness to God’s proactive nature in the word. I have personally witnessed miracles in this life with some of them almost being non-existent in appearance to some. This is what I wanted to share with you being namely God’s hand on the world thru the interaction of his angels with you even though you may not be aware of it. Have you ever had an encounter with a perfect stranger whom seemed to come from nowhere only to eventually leave but before or after this event, you start noticing mysterious or even unexplained occurrences affecting your life? If you say yes to this as some might you have personally crossed the path of an angel doing God’s will on this earth. This has happened repeatedly for some and they have not even noticed it. An occurrence of such might be as if you have just lost a precious loved one and boom one day unexpectedly there is a fair, well-dressed, polite man or woman standing in front of you asking, telling, needing or even helping you. These people just seem to sense what you need even if it is just a simple word of encouragement. They also can give you a positive feeling just by standing or sitting by you. By interacting with you, they certainly can make you feel different in an instant just as if it was meant to be for you at that time. How you might react to this depends on your spiritual walk with GOD as these are subconsciously connected to him and his universe as you are. If you have ever encountered a person, who after looking at them gave you feelings of conviction, happiness or even an unexplained and simplistic authority then you might have met one of God’s special servants. You will usually discover this later on, as one thing will happen in your future that will connect them to you by making you recall that one special instance in time. Would you call me crazy if I told you these are crossing over and working in America right now doing God’s will, which is to interact with you in unique ways thus leaving the touch of his hand on your life? If you say, “Yes this is lunacy” then I have to ask is there demonic forces or evil people in America? What I am talking about here is not a bum whom goes forth only to eventually return but rather out of place people that just one day appear having very peculiar even strange appearances or messages. GOD does these things to teach us of his hand thru his servants doing his will, which is designed to help us in some way or get our attention. Some of you may have been visited repeatedly only to have not ever noticed it even once. Of course, there are Archangels but very few ever get the chance to see one because to see one is to partially look upon the glory of the lord. If this ever happens to you, you are truly very special indeed and commissioned with a special divine task on this earth. I want to share with you Kevin whom just might visit you one day as an example. Kevin is a manservant of GOD whom you will see walking down the back roads of America passing into your town being very polite and superficially dressed for a man on foot. When he approaches, he will politely greet you and might even ask you if there is some work, he can do for a meal. Kevin is special because he is oddly clean in appearance although he has been traveling for days. Kevin has wisdom and if you listen may reveal something to you for your own benefit. He is special if you will listen to him; as he will share knowledge of people, places, and things and can literally travel days without the amenities of life. If you see Kevin give him an appropriate greeting with food and drink because if you knew what GOD reveals thru him you would stand where many do today. I say to Bob, Ann, and Mr. Wood’s GOD Bless you for giving and thus helping yourselves to an unseen blessing. Though you may have not known it you have been visited by a special one. What can GOD teach you thru such encounters with seemingly ordinary people that just unexpectedly affect you in an instant? If you want to be happy in this life, you can find happiness and love by first showing love to yourself then loving others consistently without wavering and thus receiving the gift of happiness for having done it. Just as love takes time to find it is thru time and love that, you will find a lasting happiness. This process begins with you and thru God’s special ones like Kevin both of whom he loves. If you have pain in your life left by the weakness of other people let it go, becoming kinder towards others and in return, you too in time will find love and happiness, which will virtually astound you and those around you. I will go down with this ship, and will not put a white flag above my door because I have learned of and experienced God’s love of us thru the lives of others, which puts hope in my heart for humankind forever. Inspired by and thru God for eternity as each one of us on earth are! Elias2k ;D |
