I awoke in the early hours of the night from noises in the house. This house is next to a forest and there may be a number of reasons why things go tic or toinc at night.
Anyway, it must have been anything between 2 and 4 in the morning. The sounds stopped and as I lay in silence, I realised (in my spirit) that there were angels in the room.
How can I describe it, but say to you I sensed them in my spirit. They weren't visible, but I had this awareness that something peaceful and loving was in the room. There were 3 of them; and even though they weren't visible to the naked eye, I felt they were huge, reaching to the ceiling. I was lying on my back and 2 were on my sides, left and right and the 3rd was above me - standing over my heart.
I became aware of God's presence in the room. and I started to pray. In a way just talking to the Lord. As I did this, I felt in my spirit that the angels were praising Him. So I praised Him with them. There was a heavenly rhythm in that praise. A deep joyful unexplainable rhythm which was part of the praise that was sung in the room.
The Lord spoke in a very gentle way into my heart; telling me to go take a shower. As I got up He nudged me to take a fresh set of clothes.
I took a set of clean clothes and I was very aware of the symbolism of being washed clean, and then putting on a set of clean clothes. I then asked the Lord why he sent angels. I wanted to go online and search for information about angels. I wanted to go to the online bible and read what the bible says.
The Lord spoke gently into my heart saying: "Let My Holy Spirit teach you things from My Word".
I perceived this was first something which the Lord wanted to do for me personally. A song came into my thoughts and I just hummed it under my breath ...
"Something happened
and I know
He touched me
He touched me
and He made me whole"
I prayed that the Lord would lead me into His word and speak to me some revelation. I put myself in that place of "washing away of sins", asking the Lord to be the soap, the water, the heat and to wash away all my sins.
. . .
He clothed my spirit with a new garment:
"come walk with Me. my angels are here for your protection. Around you and also over your heart. My Peace I give to you"
For He Himself is our Peace (Eph 2:14)
In Him, His whole church is joined together (His bride)
In Him we are being knitted together to become a dwelling place where He can live, by His Spirit
"come walk with Me"
He asked of me ... as He is asking each of us
"come walk with Me"
A new walk in faith
A new fullness
Thank You Jesus
Yes Lord, here I come ...
