Up until the year 2000 I had epileptic siezures regularly. Most times I would make my way to the toilet to avoid an accident, & if it was during the night go back to bed & because of the medication I was on would go back to sleep without any problems.
One early morning, circa 1995 something different happen to me. I was going back to bed and must have gone to sleep while walking back to my room & do not sleep walk.
I half woke (my eyes were still closed) But knew I was walking and someone was leading me somewhere. I could feel a hand in my left hand & fine gravel under my feet. I thought maybe one of my daughters was with me.
After crossing a road which always has traffic on it and walking up a street I had not gone up before, I awoke fully, saw it was still dark and reasonably quiet but not completely still as there were some cars around so I assumed it was early hours in the morning. I was alone & was walking on fine gravel in bare feet. I kept walking for a short while in the same direction, no reason to turn around yet. When I could make out the road in front of me (Unley Road) I thought the one behind me was my street. I turned around and immediately the land marks were recogniseable. I started to walk home and then realised that I was only wearing nightclothes so ran before some one saw me.
I checked out the name of the street on my way home and I had not been up it before then.
When I got home one of my girls opened the front door to let me in. Nothing more was said so I went to back to bed till morning.
Next morning I had to check I hadn’t been dreaming. First thing I did was check the soles of my feet. They were almost black. And I also went up to check the street's name & it was as I remember.
I didn't even think then why I had not stubbed my toes at all while walking outside especially on the curbs or walked into anything, like a tree or stobie pole/sign post. I had no bruises etc.
Psalm 91: 11 - 12. Explains that I was looked after.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
I can remember this event today just as if it happened yesterday & it keeps me believing when I recall it.
Hi Susan, this must have been a tremendously empowering experience for you, I don't wonder that you hold onto it even now and recall it whenever you may have cause to doubt that God cares for you, or indeed your own Faith. I too have had many remarkable personal experiences that reinforce God's Grace to me, and yes, have received Angels on many occasions too. There are many cases I can report where others had thought I should be dead, but instead I would tell them that God's Angels caught me and saved me. I am often judged to be delusional, I'm schizophrenic after all and everyone knows what we're like, but I know that my Heavenly Father cares for me, and has sent His Angels on many occasions, just as I know that Jesus is always walking with me. Thank you for sharing this, I hope it empowers many others to comnent as I have and recount their own personal experiences. God bless.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Margaret. I think I had a weird thought come to me the other night because I don't feel like I have seen anything much of God of late. I bet I have and just do not realize it. I have just posted another blog to do with this 'thought'
