Supernatural Character #2
Building Character of the Month Series
Since I missed January’s Character of the Month’s article, I am doing a follow up on February’s Character of the Month, Supernatural Character. As I previously said, God creates supernatural character in all of us. In many of us it is different yet all of us have various character traits in common. God wants each of us unique yet in unity.
Here are some questions that can be added to the previous list of character traits:
ü Do you give warm hugs and soft kisses liberally?
ü Do you cry with those who have a broken heart or are struggling to find forgiveness from God?
ü Are God’s angels your best friends? (This is my focus character trait for all of us.)
My friend, Dave Hauser, who has written articles for my blog sent me this story about an angelic encounter. I must admit I do not see angels but I certainly feel them whenever they get close or in the same room with me. Everyone is different and Scripture proves this to be the case. My hope for each of us is to be able to respond and identify in some way when angels are sent your way to minister to you. We need to be looking for God’s angels each day—expecting their ministry to us. Here’s the story:
The other day in our prayer group, one of our leaders shared what I would call a very Supernatural Experience that she had this week. I would first like to share that she is working on her Doctorate at a prestigious university and is part of our teams, which pray for the sick. Because of our relationship with her and being part of our staff I know that she is not given to hyperbole.
She shared with us that she was late for a meeting, and had tried to cancel that meeting. She was about 25 minutes late, but they still wanted to meet. When she went down to the car she saw a man who was looking in a trash bin for what appeared to be something to eat. Even though she was late for the meeting she felt impressed to offer him a banana and a bag of nuts she was carrying.
When she called out to him, he turned around and was covered in light emanating from his being. Immediately she knew it was an angel. She began to weep, as he graciously received the food from her hand. Her response was she was without words and didn’t know what to say. She turned her back for a moment and when she turned back looking once more in his direction he had completely disappeared.
She asked God what this encounter was about and she felt she heard the Lord say to her that there are two things I’m looking for in my children. One is to obey promptings of the Spirit even when it is not a convenient time, and to always remember the poor in our midst.
I have probably not told this story adequately, but as she shared it we were all moved with tears about this encounter. (by Dave Hauser)
With visitations from angels, there is always a ‘time factor’ and ‘a required response’ on our part. Make sure you claim your blessing during or after any visitation from angels. Your response is ‘an action of faith’. Faith is always the desired action God is wanting. With boldness let’s approach God and His will for our lives—we are entering a ‘time for angels in our mist’…expect this in abundance during the next few years.
