Today I am a 44-year-old woman with pride, goals, direction, self-esteem, compassion, and a true sense of self and purpose. It hasn't always been this way in my life. I guess that's why I feel an overwhelming desire and need to record the chain of events that have occurred in my life up to this point. Call it a mid-life evaluation if you like. I really do not know why, or guess I really need any answers as to why, some of us are chosen to experience the awesome power, love, compassion, forgiveness, healing, and beauty of God and His angels among us. If you have ever been blessed with the grace and unconditional love of the higher power, you cannot deny the presence and definite existence of the One GREATER being than everything, our Father.
All right, everyone, tonight I will start from the beginning--- The first time that I know that the Lord put His hand on me. I was eight years old and my 12 year old brother had been attending a neighborhood church. I wasn't really raised in a church, Mom and Dad just let us go if we wanted to. One night my brother came home and told me that there was going to be a "revival" held at our school and he wanted me to go with him. He helped me pick out the prettiest dress that I had for the occasion. The first of many spiritual events of my life occurred in that little gymnasium. There was a guest speaker that stated it was his calling to testify to the vast love and forgiveness of our Heavenly Father. He spoke about how he was delivered from a life of major addictions to various drugs, and how God had chosen him to be one of His messengers about deliverance from sin, and everlasting life, when we believe and trust in the love and forgiveness of our Heavenly Father. I was too young to understand what addiction was, but I saw the most beautiful glow surrounding this man. I was astonished, bewildered, amazed and overcome by an unrelenting desire to be loved that much as well. The preacher got back up on that tiny little stage when the speaker finished and announced to the audience that any one who would like to receive this gift was welcome to follow him back to the church and be "saved" through baptism. I told my brother, "I want to go." He looked at me and shook his head and replied, "You can't. The preacher said you have to have pants on to get baptized and you wore your dress," I started crying. The preacher noticed me crying and asked what was wrong. My brother explained the circumstances and the preacher said, “If she wants to be baptized, then she will, tonight. She may never have this overwhelming desire again." I went to the church that night, and in front of God with all of His witnesses, I was fully submerged in the baptismal tank. I don't remember one single word that was said, but I remember the softest bright white light, and the warmest feeling I had ever experienced. I was looking down on myself from above, and I was surrounded by that light. It was an instant feeling of total peace, and love when I was immersed under water. It was the beginning of a wonderful love story of our Lord, how He is One who keeps His promises, how He is always faithful, and that He never leaves us or forsakes us. He put His hand on me that long ago and He never gave up on me, through the many, many years that it took for me to turn around and truly see Him. I PRAISE HIM with ALL of my HEART and I GIVE my LIFE to HIM each and everyday!!!!!!

I've seen angels and God long before I was born, now I hit this post to see if your experiances with angels were anything like mine. Prior to my birth it really didn't matter. Once I was born and began to talk about these things as I began to read the bible as well than it made a real differance in my life as well as others. At the age of three I found myself in the most cruel foster home ever. Every day was a matter of life and death as they had very strick rules. They were ethnic Polish people. I was never to speak in English again or else. We'll skip the "or else". A Polish bible was placed before me and I was told to read or die. Remember this was a Polish bible and a language I knew nothing about. I could read and speak in English but not Polish. Many years later I began to see just why God and His angels were exposed to me before I was born. In my own simple way being as young as I was, I only knew this one I now know as God was very nice. He had angels not only with Him in heaven but on this earth as well. I just told one of them that happened to be present, though only seen by me, that I needed help real fast. The next thing I knew, as I spoke, they heard me as though I was speaking in Polish. Than I began to read their bible, aloud in Polish as well. I now know this as a gift of tongues. It didn't take many days there after for these people to be completely changed, especially as I explained to them about having seen God before and his angels at his command prior to being born and now in this bible and in this life as well.

I'm not trying to top any story you have, I'm just very interested in what you have to say in knowing the same as I. There are indeed angels amongst us.

I was raised a Catholic and was baptized like the Catholics do, with a little water poured on my forehead. But I would like (very much so) to go to Israel, and to be immersed in the Jordan River...

Not to put your idea of being baptized in the Jordan river down, though the Jordan river does a fare representation of the present world situation. The only water entering thus flowing down the Jordan river at this time is sewage waste water. I had the very same idea till I learned the truth which set me free and clear of that idea.
