=== Encounter With An Angel (01:51) ===

[00:00:00]  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.
[00:00:06]  When I first came out, I had very little money.
[00:00:09]  I lost everything that I had defending myself from these false charges.
[00:00:14]  And I remember it was my birthday.
[00:00:15]  My daughter was three years old at the time.
[00:00:17]  So we went out and had dinner at Red Lobster or somewhere, and it was all just, you know, just splurging on my birthday.
[00:00:24]  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.
[00:00:31]  Because the Bible says that we're going to entertain angels unaware.
[00:00:35]  And so this undercover angel came up to me and said, Do you have any money?
[00:00:38]  Of course, I had no money.
[00:00:40]  And so I thought for a second, I turned back around.
[00:00:42]  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.
[00:00:47]  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.
[00:00:57]  And I really feel like the Lord sometimes will use those experiences to bless us, to get something to us, because we've sown.
[00:01:04]  And even though it's an angel, we've sown.
[00:01:06]  We gave up something.
[00:01:07]  We sacrificed something.
[00:01:09]  And so, you know, when this book idea came out, it was actually Tom's idea.
[00:01:12]  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.
[00:01:20]  William Branham, a powerful prophet, you know, he had an angel, but then he went off in the last days.
[00:01:27]  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.
[00:01:35]  And then he ended up falling into sin.
[00:01:37]  And that became something where then people began to get very concerned about angel extremes.
[00:01:43]  So there's been a lot of extremes in the body of Christ with people taking sort of a new age bent on angels.
[00:01:49]  But it's time to redeem the teaching on angels.
