I wasn't expecting her to just disappear like that or I'd have paid more attention to detail.

Did she look Apostolic? Do you recall how she appeared?

I sensed some sarcasm .. don't you think that angels will appear in forms that are comfortable and contemporary to the person it appears to ... What would the OT saints have thought if they would have seen angels dressed in modern attire ... Are we to think that angels must appear in long flowing tunics????

I never hinted that I did not believe anything. I said it was a cool story and that I did not want to minimize it. However don't you think it's interesting how God's angels appear to us? In this case it was blue denim?

Sister Tina ... I have no doubt this was an angel.

Brown hair, shoulder length. Just kind of ordinary. Nothing that would have made her stand out in a crowd or anything.

As for her just appearing-- I was knelt over my daughter at the time, I looked up and she was there. The playground was empty except for my family. There were swingsets and slides on one side, with a park bench or two. On the other side, there was a basketball court. There was wooded area on three sides of the playground-- and a narrow paved road and small parking area to the front of the playground area. She didn't drive up, she didn't walk up from the road. There was no one else around.

I think she just "appeared". The reason I think this is because the entire playground area where we were was covered with the brown pea gravel. I'd have heard anyone walking up.

And on that note... I'm signing off-- not to avoid answering additional questions-- but because it's almost 10pm here, and I have to get up at 4:45am.

Nite.

Thanks. I think this happens more often than we realize.

I don't dis credit this at all..not one Iota.

But blue denim jumped out at me too. Guess it was hearing blue denim skirts preached against for so long in a chuch I used to attend.

Praise God for an angel that would show up wearing something preached against by some.

Shows me God is good....and he could care less what somebody with a brain cramp comes up to preach against.

Have any of you seen angels?
What did the angel[s] look like?
Does seeing one somehow reflect on your spirituality?

I do not want to change the subject. Nor did I want to tell this event. I had worked third shift for several years.

I had not slept for almost 2 full days.

My wife was working and I was finally able to sleep.

I fell asleep in my room in our Apartment.

We had a waterbed.

I would keep the door slightly ajar.

I was in and out of sleep.

I had something pulling on my feet.

Well I struggled to speak the name of Jesus in my condition.

I then looked over my shoulder to the left and saw a glimpse of my Brother-In-Law. If anyone wants to PM me I will share his name.

I saw him clearly praying for me and heard him speaking my name and pleading the blood of Jesus.

I then at that moment spoke these words.

Devil I rebuke you in the name of Jesus Christ.

I believe in the Cross and that Jesus died for my sins.

At that moment I stood up and hit the light.

I caught only a glimpse of a being.

I could not share with you any phsyical characteristics.

I did notice that you could see clearly indentations on my blanket at the end of my bed where something had been pushing hands down on my bed.

I then went right to sleep without fear.

When I woke a few hours later, I called my sisters house clear across the county in Ohio.

The first words from her mouth were that my Bother-in-law was going to call me later that day.

He knew I would be sleeping.

He was impressed to pray for me the entire day.....

Many believe that when you get extremly tired or are using drugs.

We can lose control of our normal sensory perception.

So each night I pray the blood of protection over my kids and my wife and I.

So while we sleep we are protected.

It was a very real personal experience.

One that I sometimes remind my wife.

I say these words, "Devil u had your chance and you blew it".

I love this thread, even though some of the content is a little freaky.

I believe angels appear for the purpose of delivering a message, whether spoken or perceived. I wonder how many angels are peering into our activity right now?

What is the purpose of their earthly activity?
