Gabriel, the messenger of GOD!

Am I in Heaven? I guess not. The same old setting, people, vehicles, the same ole Bangalore and what not!

But I see heavenly beings, hear them talk and reciprocate too!
Just a while ago..around 2pm the Spirit of GOD took me to St.Marks Church and there I had a casual talk, in a reverent kneeling position, with GOD.

My eyes were opened yet again.I saw Gabriel, the angel, walking on the carpet. I was terrified...............you wouldn't be in an easy mood when you have angelic visitations often..........I started thinking, "Am I gonna die, for I suppose that these angels are coming to pick me up on their way home?"

He (the Angel Gabriel) spoke clearly,"The LORD calls you a mighty man of GOD. When you go back that thing (that I prayed for) will be over.The LORD is with you. His righteousness and peace and joy are in you.He said, go and share this with your friends"

I have heard in sermons that Gabriel is a messenger and I was happy to hear this message that he brought from GOD.These Angels introduce themselves first. I really have to go to the Word to pick the portion which deals with Angelic visitations to Gideon and Mary.

The angel of the LORD came and sat down under the oak in Ophrah that belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, where his son Gideon was threshing wheat in a winepress to keep it from the Midianites. When the angel of the LORD appeared to Gideon, he said, "The LORD is with you, mighty warrior." (Judges 6:11-12)


The angel answered, "I am Gabriel. I stand in the presence of God, and I have been sent to speak to you and to tell you this good news.(Luke 1:19)

Rising up from my knees and turning towards the exit, I had to smile and thank GOD so much for the Angel Michael who was there again, to accompany me.

There was his friendly smile back at me. Like friends who smile at each other................I smiled back at him too. Oh my GOD, I love you so much. Its awesome, incomparable!

Friends, it is not that I'm spending hours at HIS feet, but prefer talking to Him.His grace is the one that makes the difference.
I saw an Angel

What should I say, when I'm fumbling for words to describe the glorious
happenings around?

Yesterday was an amazing day! Sunday and I was trying to kill my free time
and hence carried Lintu with me in the bike and did top speeds.

Holy Spirit said.........

"Stop the bike before the church and go and talk to the person whom you
see.....his name is Dan".I did that. Went to that totally unknown stranger and said, "Are you Dan?",He replied, yes and how do you know?........"the Holy Spirit said that"
was my
reply.

He is a mighty man of God, of 21 years and he prophesied. Holy Spirit helped
me do the same. He introduced me to a company of believers, who felt the fire
of GOD even when I started talking and when they prayed for me. A brother
there said..........I see an Angel of God near you..I said , I saw him too.
All of us felt the heat and then I looked at a Sister straight in her eyes
and said..that the Lord has got a Ministry of Love to pull people from
depression and suicidal tendency.

We prayed as TYC team in the evening. I saw this Angel again. Bro.Stewart
confirmed the same
.............He said some Cherubim like Angel...........I
felt it was a Archangel.


I had skipped my Breakfast and the Lunch, but had just 3 Bananas. I felt the
Holy Spirit tugging at me to go to Holy Trinity Church at the end of MG Road.
I went there.

I was just talking to the LORD about my dad and again saw that
Angel.This time he started talking to me. He said I'm Michael. I have come to
defend you against the attack of demons. I asked, why are they attacking me?
He said..they know that you are going to destroy them. I asked for the blood
of JESUS to cover me. He said, The LORD is with you and He will protect and
establish you in righteousness and peace. He said that it is according to II
Thessalonians 3:3


Friends, if you feel like, just pray or thank the Lord for me. I know that
you would feel the same presence of GOD. There is a mighty move of GOD in
every place I go and dont know why and how. I still speak humorously and my
bike still flies, but the atmosphere around me is different.

I see this Angel moving along......great to have a strong Bodyguard like that. Wish that
people could see that.

And forgive us our sins; for we also forgive every one that is indebted to us.
(Luke 11:4)

On this day, I was carefree, with little cares that weren't powerful enough to choke.

Running through my regular chores, I though that I needed someone to help me out with a small bottle of water to quench my thirst and Arvindh, the assistant jogged my memory. I called him and when help wasn't forthcoming, I called him again. He turned up with a sort of resentment in his face and speech.

I was irate at this sort of response-picked the water bottle, made my way to the wash basin and poured the water right in front of him. I came back to my seat and I felt that I had put on extra weight; I felt, felt it in my head and heart. The earphone music didn't drown the trouble that was brewing within.

God, my heart cried, Iam sorry. I was ruthless with this guy. I shouldn't have done it. I didn't forgive that little act of his while still carrying the tonnes of forgiveness that flows from you every moment of my life.

I cried and I said to myself.............I hate ME! Never again. How much would this act of mine hurt a soul that expects not a rush of anger!

I'm sorry people...............Whoever I have offended! Wherever you are and whatever you do.......please forgive me .......I had hurt you all on account of my ego, my pride and selfishness. I hadn't cared about your state when I was pouring my outburst!

Change me oh GOD, into a being of love!

I'm beginning to sing that old song that I had learnt as a kid at school.


Make me a channel
Make me a channel of your peace.
Where there is hatred let me bring your love.
Where there is injury, your pardon, Lord
And where there's doubt, true faith in you.

Chorus:
Oh, Master grant that I may never seek
So much to be consoled as to console
To be understood as to understand
To be loved as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of your peace
Where there's despair in life, let me bringhope
Where there is darkness, only light
And where there's sadness, ever joy.

Chorus:
Make me a channel of your peace
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned
In giving to all men that we receive
And in dying that we're born to eternal life.
