They Are Living Among Us

I only watch the beginning of the video, but absolutely angels walk among us and they have protected me from many dangers.


Protecting - Keeping God's people out of physical danger, as in the cases of Daniel and the lions, and his three friends in the fiery furnace (Daniel 3 and 6).

Delivering - Getting God's people out of danger once they're in it. Angels released the apostles from prison in Acts 5, and repeated the process for Peter in Acts 12.

Strengthening and encouraging - Angels strengthened Jesus after His temptation (Matt 4:11), encouraged the apostles to keep preaching after releasing them from prison (Acts 5:19-20), and told Paul that everyone on his ship would survive the impending shipwreck (Acts 27:23-25).

Answering prayer - God often uses angels as His means of answering the prayers of His people (Daniel 9:20-24; 10:10-12; Acts 12:1-17).
 
I felt some kind of protection in my younger days, especially when my parents were alive. I must have appeared stupidly naive to many worldly people. Yet I was rarely taken advantage of to any great degree. Maybe they felt sorry for me. I was often like a lamb amongst wolves.
 
I remember when I use to drive interstate 80 all the time where I use to live and I was following a semi when a tire blew out, bounced on the road and flew up over the top of my car. Other times angels have saved me from side and head on collisions that would have probably killed me. It's like the vehicle heading towards me seemed to turn to water form and passed right through me and my car. That was a weird feeling. Another time my husband was driving me to work and we hit black ice that put us in the path of a dump truck heading towards us, I remember all I could do was repeat the name of Jesus over and over and just in the nick of time the car seemed like it was slid back over in our own lane heading in the right direction like nothing ever happened. These are the two that stand out in my mind, but sure there were many more times God's angels protected me.

My most memorable one for me was when I was driving in my work truck on a business street and had the right of way. I see a pickup truck with a lady in it set to come out of a strip mall thing, and we had eye contact. When I get right beside her and am passing by she floors the pickup straight towards my truck. I glanced ahead, nowhere to go, traffic. I could only hope she misses me. No way. I turn slightly and see her almost to my truck. It's that moment of, 'brace for impact' and this was no good, my work truck! I could only glance forward to see traffic and wonder where I'll wind up...

And I just continued to peacefully drive up the road. There was no impact. I kept my eyes forward in expectation that the impact will be any time...and no impact. Suddenly it hits me that she was too close/too fast she could not have missed me. Something supernatural just happened. I'm in awe now and never did look back, Just staring ahead driving, taking all this in. How could I have been protected? There wasn't time to pray. Then I remembered. In my morning prayer I asked for the Lord to be with me all day, and to put a hedge of protection around my truck. So I had prayed. It was probably Angels that helped me. Actually I think it was a spiritual attack on me. Me and that female had eye contact. She saw me coming. She was waiting to pull out into traffic. What made her accelerate towards me?
...and the moral of the story is...do not neglect your morning prayers!!
