How It Began
Behold I send an angel before thee; to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.
—Exodus 23:20
I held certain beliefs at the age of five, and one of those beliefs was there were no such things as ghosts walking in a cemetery at night or being in places some people claimed were haunted. This was not a ghostly problem for me at this young age.
One cold December night, I was sleeping in my grandmother’s house, which was about one hundred years old, when something transpired. My mother and father were also living in this old house during this time.
Asleep in the middle of the night, with the bedcover pulled up to my shoulders to keep me warm, I went to sleep. All lights were turned off for the night. Later in the night, during the hours of darkness, a most memorable moment occurred when I felt someone pull the cover down from my shoulders toward my feet.
To my astonishment, I looked up to see what was going on, and I realized it was not my parents moving the bedcover. I saw an angel in the form of a human kneeling on the right side of my bed, staring at me. The head, shoulders, and the rest of its upper body were clearly visible to me. At that moment, I knew without a doubt who was physically removing my bedcover at a slow pace. It was an angel. This sighting in darkness looked white in form, with a human appearance.
Realizing after a short while what was beside my bed, I decided to call my parents, who were sleeping across the hallway, and asked them if they came into my room and pulled the bedcover off me. They said no. Of course, I already knew the answer. They told me they were not aware of anything, because they were asleep.
Prophetic experiences began to noticeably occur to me after encountering this real episode. These prophecies have been true each time.
Since that cold December night, God has prophesized to me many times in different ways through dreams, visions, and other communications. These were always done with pinpoint accuracy by angels.
Years later my grandmother’s house burned down, but the memories of this event will live forever.

About the Book
The stories in this book are real. In 1942 at the age of five while sleeping across the hallway from my bedroom, a supernatural event occurred on a cold night in January when an angel awakened me by physically pulling the bedcover downward from my shoulder toward my feet. This person was standing on the right side of my bed, plainly in the dark of the night as a human being. My parents had no knowledge of what was happening. My life from this moment forward dealt with angels of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Every story prophesized by angels in dreams, visions, and instant communications were always accurate. These true stories continue today.
