Luke,
Chapter 2, verse 8-10:
8 Now there were
shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over
their flock. 9 The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory
of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. 10 The angel said
to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of
great joy that will be for all the people.
Have you ever had an
encounter with an angel? Most have not yet encountered a manifestation of an
angel but do feel they were guided by them. For those who do encounter a
powerful appearance of an angel like the shepherds they were very afraid and some are not. Here is the
story of one man’s experience with the Archangel Raphael.
Saint Raphael[1]
Imagine, you go to bed
one night and an angel comes and asks you to go with him. Wim Holtschlag, a
simple carpenter and father of two, by now grown up children, had this happen
to him five times in his home at Haaksbergen (The Netherlands). 28 spoken
messages have come since. The messenger calls himself Raphael, angel, third in
rank. His name means medicine of God and he wounds hearts with his arrows of
love. He stands in the choir of archangels. He is one of the seven who stand
before the Throne of God. His name is known in the bible where he, in the book
of Tobit, is the traveling companion of the young man Tobias. The Church calls
on him as the angel of love, patron of medical doctors and of travelers. From 1984
until May 2000, the seer, his wife Diny, and the many who have learned of these
messages, received a deepening of their faith and a clearer insight into how to
live in the still remaining time.
