Stories of miracles and angels

Many people fervently believe in angels and in the reality of protective guardian angels who watch over them. Skeptics, on the other hand, dismiss the idea as mere folklore and fantasy.

However, many amazing stories are told of personal experiences with mysterious beings who appear seemingly out of nowhere at pivotal moments to lend comfort, provide physical assistance and even save lives. They often disappear just as mysteriously.

Are these beings truly of the angelic realm? Is there such a thing as miracles? Unless you've experienced something for yourself, it is understandable that you might be skeptical. However, for those who have, there is no question. 

My Story

Back in 1971, I was driving my Ford along a route I’d taken many times on my way home from work. However, this day would prove to be like no other.

As I drove along, a huge transport truck pulled out from a parking lot ahead of me and back across both lanes in the direction I was going. Since I had no time to stop, I was forced to go around it. However, when I did this, I realized that just past the truck was an underpass. I would be forced to drive through it in the wrong direction!

At that point, I had no choice and proceeded to drive through the underpass. I was terrified, fearing oncoming traffic would of course, hit me. I immediately began praying for safety and to my total surprise, when I came out the other side of the underpass the traffic was at a total stop due to a traffic light!

Angel in the Back Seat

I was driving home one morning on a snow-covered highway that had been closed by the highway department due to a huge snowstorm. I was very tired and fighting sleep every mile I drove.

Finally, I could stay awake no longer... and I drifted off to sleep while driving. I had just nodded off when a large hand reached up between the seats and grabbed me by the right shoulder and gave me a vigorous shaking that very quickly woke me up. I quickly turned to see who had hidden himself in the back.

Imagine my surprise when I turned the overhead light on and saw only an empty back seat! I began driving again when once again I became sleepy... and yes, it happened again, only this time I heard an audible voice from the back seat shout while shaking me, “WAKE UP!”

That did it! I was now totally WIDE AWAKE and I remained that way all the way to where I lived. I told my family what happened and we came to the conclusion that my guardian angel, who was riding with me decided to keep me awake until I made it home safely. – Roger Wheat

Angel Flew Interference

It was 2:30 a.m. and a frigid February blizzard was in progress in Ohio. I was still wired, just having completed my musical performance in a nightclub near the military base, so decided to do the drive now. I cranked up the radio and merrily set off for home.

I became aware that I was the only car moving on the interstate. Others were pulled off the road buried under a couple of feet of snow. I was plowing through deep fresh snow as if it weren't there.

I finally became aware that I had never turned on my windshield wipers. I'm barreling along at 75 mph and there was not a speck of snow on my windshield! This snow was sticking to everything and everybody else, why not me?

I continued driving at that speed for the entire trip on the interstate... without turning on my wipers! No snow accumulated on the car until I approached the exit ramp. When I made that exit, I was inundated with the heavy wet stuff and my wipers could not work fast enough to keep the windshield clear.

I drove the rest of the way home at about 20 mph. I was highly amused and extremely grateful when a mental image appeared showing me my guardian angel flying interference for me throughout the entire trip. Thanks for keeping me safe. – Pat Pfeffer

Angel's Message

It was a dull, winter afternoon. I was met by a sudden urge to get up and have a drink. I walked over to the sink in a sort of trance and turned the tap.

Instead of water, a white mist erupted from the tap and filled the kitchen. The mist was sucked into the cupboard under the stairs and I was forced to drag my feet along and open the door. What I found almost made me have a heart attack: a man, cramped into the small space between the vacuum cleaner and the boiler tank, walked out and greeted me.

"Hi," he said.

He was dressed rather formally. I watched as he sat himself down.

"Please sit," he told me. "I have come from heaven and I have come with a message: Your mother in Spain is ill and requires medicine she cannot get. You are to go there and deliver it to her in person, then tell her Howard sends his love."

Howard was my father; he had passed away only weeks before. When I asked the man who he was, he simply got up and walked upstairs.

I left for Spain the day after. Sure enough when I got there, my mother was in bed and had a large lump on her throat. She hadn't left the house since the day before and couldn't move. I delivered the angel's message and she nodded, "I know," she said with a sly smile. – Shaun T.
