Do Angels Speak to US?

When an Angel Spoke to Me:
I have been blessed to have experienced a number of angelic encounters along this wonderful journey with our Lord and Savior, and I have a couple of stories to share. Once an angel appeared to me, this was the first time I experienced an Angel Speak to me.
I will start from the beginning: I was in my study busy straightening up and picking up books and magazines that I had been going through for the past week. When all of sudden a form started taking shape in my doorway. It is rather difficult to explain how it took shape but if you remember the old popular TV series "Star Trek" it might help you understand how the angel appeared. You remember how in the TV program they were always saying, "beam me up, Scotty"? Well, that was exactly what it looked like, and it did not take very long for all the digital pieces to fill in the empty space rapidly taking form of an Angel. This was not a dream it was in real time during the middle of the day.
This Angel was so tall. I could not see his face because it was hidden behind the top part of the door casing. He did move but not very much; he just straightened up a little after he completed his transformation. I was little frightened and didn't know if this was an Angel from G3D or a demon taking on the appearance of an angel. Then he spoke to me saying, "I will tell you what you need to know and I will prosper you." Well, that settled it; he had to be a demon. You see, back then my doctrine was much different than now and we did not believe that ministers were to have anything, especially money. The poorer you were the more spiritual you became. Anytime we had more than we needed for a day or so we gave it away lest it find a way into our hearts. Without even thinking I raised my voice stuck out my pointed finger and rebuked it and he left faster than he had arrived.
Immediately, I began pulling all my ministry books and bible out and began preparing a message entitled, "The Spirit of Divination". The message started with this verse:
“Now it happened, as we went to prayer, that a certain slave girl possessed with a spirit of divination met us, who brought her masters much profit by fortune-telling” (Acts 16:16 NKJV).
You see, I knew this scripture well because I had been leading a campaign coming against the 900 number psychics, and I just knew this had to be the one of the psychic’s spirits wanting to get into me. I was determined to keep him out and chase him far away from me.
At the time we had a Saturday morning radio program broadcasting from Dallas, Texas. I preached against that foul spirit live on radio. Then that night I was scheduled to preach at a conference in the Dallas Convention Center by the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. It was there I preached the second part of the series. The next morning, I preached the third and final sermon completing the three-part series. After we had the series complete and nicely package, we began to offer the series in our newsletter.
A few weeks had gone by and we seemingly supernaturally started losing most our supporters and money to pay bills stopped coming in. This all happened in 1993, just before the Thanksgiving holidays. We were flat broke with no food. Attendance in our little church was dwindling, and I was forced to go to the local food bank just so we could have a few groceries. My wife had just given birth to little Savannah and we were getting mighty scared. Of course, I had been praying my heart out to G3D for answers, but the heavens seemed to be closed. After one of our evening’s services, I was walking across the parking lot to my car and G3D Spoke. He said, "If you are going to preach about demons then let the demons support you; I called you to preach about hearing Me and My messages." Well, that is all I needed to know, so I thought.
The next morning, I told G3D I would destroy the master tapes to this message about the spirit of divination and call everyone requesting they burn their tapes. Then I began to plead with Him to help me and after a day or two He Spoke these words; "I sent you the one to help you and you ran him off." I knew I had messed up big time.
That night as I lay awake in our bed musing before the Holy Spirit, looking for a way I could get this Angel back. Suddenly, a light flashed on in my mind. I had received a plan from our Lord. You know how when you walk by a place there is known evil activity going on and you can feel the presence of demons? Well, my theory was that Angels must hang around places where G3D’s people gather. It was four-thirty in the morning, and I jumped out of the bed waking my wife telling her I was going to the Tabernacle. She wanted to know why but fell back to sleep as I excitedly told her about my plan. I knew that if I could get a word of prophecy for myself the Angels would have to do His Word.
“Bless the Lord, you His Angels, who excel in strength, who Do His Word, Heeding the voice of His word” (Psalm 103:20 NKJV)
When I got to the Tabernacle, I rummaged around in the office looking for a blank tape to put in the recorded because I wanted to have a recorded copy of my prophecy. There is a great need for the Body of Christ to know everything we can about Angels. Hey, if they are sent to us from G3D we best know something about them.
As I made my way to the pulpit where the tape-recording system … (more info in 7th Question, ‘Angels to Minister for US?’ May 22,2022 found at: https://www.propheticministries.org/7th-question-angels-to-minister-for-us/
