In 2016, I had an experience that forever changed my understanding of the unseen world aroundus. It was a cold night, and I had just finished my shift at work around midnight. As I steppedout, I quickly realized that there were no buses operating at that hour. Though I was exhaustedand looking forward to getting home, I knew I would have to find another way. One of myworkmates kindly offered me a ride, but she didn’t take me all the way to my house. She droppedme off about six blocks from home, and I started walking. It was a quiet night, with only the distant hum of the city echoing in the air. However, as Iwalked along the dark street, I began to feel uneasy. I glanced behind me and noticed a car thatseemed to be following me. It wasn’t speeding, but it was clearly staying close, and that wasenough to make me feel uncomfortable. The feeling of being watched started to creep up myspine. In that moment, something extraordinary happened. A voice spoke clearly in my mind, urgingme to head toward the bus station. It wasn’t just a suggestion; it was more like a gentlecommand. Without thinking too much, I obeyed, altering my course and walking toward thestation. As soon as I started moving in that direction, I noticed the car behind me slowed downand eventually stopped following me. I reached the station, but as I arrived, I found it empty. There was no bus, and no one wasaround. I had been watching a program earlier that day, hosted by Sid Roth, where he spokeabout the “Ministry of Angels.” It was about how God sends His angels to watch over andprotect us, often in ways we don’t even realize. Reflecting on what had just occurred, it suddenly became clear to me. The people I had seen atthe station weren’t real—they were angels. God had placed them there to protect me. The feelingof safety and peace that washed over me confirmed it. There was no logical explanation for thecar’s behavior, the mysterious group of people, or the voice I had heard urging me to move. Allof it pointed to one truth: I had encountered divine protection. That night, I realized something profound about God’s love for us. He doesn’t just watch over usfrom a distance; He is actively involved in our lives, sending His angels to protect us. The Bibletells us in Psalm 91:11, “For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in allyour ways.” Whether we see them or not, we are surrounded by spiritual forces that are workingon our behalf, offering guidance and protection when we need it the most. I share this story with you not to boast about my experience, but to remind us all that we arenever truly alone. Sometimes, when we feel lost or afraid, God’s angels are right there, watchingover us. The ministry of angels is real, and it’s something that we can rely on, even when thecircumstances seem uncertain or frightening. It’s a reminder that, no matter where we are orwhat we face, God is always there, providing us with divine assistance in ways we may not fullyunderstand but can always trust. Next time you find yourself in a difficult or uncertain situation, remember that you might just besurrounded by angels. And who knows? You might even encounter them in the most unexpectedways.
