Angelic Encounters: Engaging Help From Heaven

by James W. Goll, Michal Ann Goll

We Are Not Alone!
 
Did you know that you typically have a lot more angelic company than you realize? Your prayers release God’s power, and God often sends angels to bring His powerful response. Angels were at work throughout the Old and New Testaments and they are still at work today!
 
Get past the myths and stories to discover the true nature, role, and history of angels in our world. In this comprehensive study, teachers, scholars, and visionaries James and Michal Ann Goll use Scripture, church history, testimonies, and personal experience to:
 

Describe the different categories of angels Explain angels’ ministry as God’s agents to the world Demonstrate how intercession and angelic ministry are related Show you how to perceive and engage angels in your own life  
We are not alone! When we pray, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven,” we are welcoming heaven’s hosts to come join us, aid us, and strengthen us. They’re ready to come.

Much of the book refers to angelic encounters in the bible; I guess I was expecting more personal accounts from the authors. But the book was worth reading if even for the one chapter where Michal details her visitation from angels and then Jesus.

"I would have dreams where I would hear Jesus singing 'Where Is My Bride, O My God?' He was longing for His bride to be ready for Him. He hears us sing our worship songs in church. We sing songs like 'True Love" and Jesus thinks we mean it! We are arousing His love, but we don't know what we're doing..."

Quite a powerful message she received from that encounter. I know that she passed away a few years after this book was written, and it struck me that she'd had the time to be changed by that message herself and then to get that message out to others; those visitations she received had served their purpose.

I wasn't expecting to like this book as much as I did, from a belief that we as humans are so drawn to focus on created beings rather than the Creator. But this book was refreshing in that its focus was ultimately He whom the angels, as well as ourselves, exist to glorify. I appreciated the side-by-side of personal stories with biblical ones and the reminder that it's never really changed.

Loved the stories and theology, but his writing style isn't my favorite to read!
