Just the ramblings of an old country boy from my heart to your heart, hoping you can relate and be able to say, “Yes, I understand. Been there!”
This story I will be telling you came about on February 16, 2021. This was a day I shall never forget for I had a very unusual encounter with a man and a woman whom I believe to be angels. I believe this because of two important things that took place: the intense feeling of love and their disappearance. This is the incident that changed my life forever.
I had been walking at our local Cherokee Dam each day for more than a year. On this day, I had walked from the parking lot to the dam, half a mile away. There is a stairway at the dam, and as usual I went down the steps to the bottom of the dam for a better workout. The dam’s height is 175 feet or equivalent to that of a 15-story building. When I got to the bottom and turned, I looked up and saw a man and woman standing on the top landing looking down at me.
There are four landing or rest areas on the stairway. At the first one, I stopped to rest. Looking up again, I noticed they were still standing there looking at me. After a short rest, I climbed on up to the second landing; they were there yet again. Now, I suppose, they might be waiting to inquire about my car. God had blessed me to be able to buy a Tesla, an all-electric car, in 2020, which was important to me. I had asked God to bless me with the ability to get one, and He did. For God had said, “Delight yourself also in the Lord, And He shall give you the desires of your heart.” (Psalm 37:4 NKJV).
On several previous occasions after I parked at the dam, many people had asked about the car. It had become a means of opening a dialogue with people.
When I climbed to the third landing, I looked up. I didn’t see them and supposed they had gone on their way. When I got to the landing where they had been standing, I found that they had just stepped back a few feet where they were out of sight until I was on the top landing.
I said, “Good morning,” and to my surprise, the man said, “May we pray with you?” I had never had this happen to me before, but I said, “Yes, I would love that.”
The next shocking surprise was when they walked over and put their arms around me in a three-way hug. Now this was at the pinnacle of the worldwide COVID-19 plague. No one was getting close to anyone not wearing a mask and none of us had masks.
I then felt a surge of love that I remembered from a dream I had back in the 1960s. I had seen Jesus and looked into His eyes with a feeling of love so great that I cannot find words to describe it. I can still feel that love, even today, when I think of that dream. At that point, I could not help myself. I blurted out, “Are you angels?”
The man began praying without answering me. He prayed, then she prayed. During each prayer I was so overwhelmed with a sensation of love that I didn’t have words to express myself. I had a feeling of positive stimulation, a feeling of excitement like something big had happened. I was so overpowered by this feeling that my mind went blank. Later, as I thought back to the conversations, I was not able to remember what was said except for two messages: one was for my safety, and the other was that I would be able to do what I needed to do.
After a brief time, I said, “All right, see you later.” I turned and went down a short ramp toward a fence that keeps people off the dam. It was about seventy-five feet. Then I turned the opposite way toward the parking lot, which was a half mile away. I was not out of sight for more than two minutes. The man and woman had started walking toward the parking lot, and I was expecting to see them ahead of me.
However, they had disappeared. I looked down the stairway just in case they had changed their mind, but nothing. They had just disappeared. From where I was, I should have been able to see them for a good fifteen minutes.
I asked God, “Were they your angels?” He didn’t strike me blind for my doubting. However, I knew I had had a supernatural encounter of some kind. If they weren’t angels, they would have to be magicians, for there is no way they could have gotten out of sight in such a short time.
I can’t prove they were angels, but you can see the evidence by what you find in this book.
What baffled me was the woman. I couldn’t remember a female angel in the Bible, but I did remember that Jesus said there is neither male nor female in heaven. As I was studying this, I remembered an incident from 2011. When I was going through a very bad health problem. I had a vision of a woman standing in front of me (more on this later).
