Encounter With An Angel

| You know, when I was first saved, and we talked about just briefly last time how I got saved in jail and I was vindicated and set free. | |
| When I first came out, I had very little money. | |
| I lost everything that I had defending myself from these false charges. | |
| And I remember it was my birthday. | |
| My daughter was three years old at the time. | |
| So we went out and had dinner at Red Lobster or somewhere, and it was all just, you know, just splurging on my birthday. | |
| We came out of the restaurant, and I ran into what I didn't know then, but I know now, was what I call an undercover angel. | |
| Because the Bible says that we're going to entertain angels unaware. | |
| And so this undercover angel came up to me and said, Do you have any money? | |
| Of course, I had no money. | |
| And so I thought for a second, I turned back around. | |
| I said, You can have this food if you're hungry because it was like it looked like a person that was disheveled and needed help. | |
| And so I gave them my food, the leftovers of my food, and I turned around because I found like $5 in my pocket, and I went to give them this $5, gone, absolutely gone. | |
| And I really feel like the Lord sometimes will use those experiences to bless us, to get something to us, because we've sown. | |
| And even though it's an angel, we've sown. | |
| We gave up something. | |
| We sacrificed something. | |
| And so, you know, when this book idea came out, it was actually Tom's idea. | |
| And the reason why this is so, one of the reasons why this is so, so controversial is because of all the angel controversies in the body of Christ. | |
| William Branham, a powerful prophet, you know, he had an angel, but then he went off in the last days. | |
| You know, we had a revival in Florida that many of you are aware of where there was supposedly a female angel speaking to the preacher and giving him his sermons, you know, every night. | |
| And then he ended up falling into sin. | |
| And that became something where then people began to get very concerned about angel extremes. | |
| So there's been a lot of extremes in the body of Christ with people taking sort of a new age bent on angels. | |
| But it's time to redeem the teaching on angels. | |
