I have never seen one. Usually the only people who actually see angels or demons are people with discerning of spirits.luvinjesus111 said:If so please enlighten me
But I have felt them enter and leave a room. This includes the direction from where they entered. Two of the most memorible events was once in a prayer meeting, and once while I had been praying in tongues for about 6 hours.
I do think they walk in our midst appearing as normal human beings. I have no doubt that everyone has seen angels, and just did not know they were angels.

Yes, I have seen Angels on a number of occasions - as a child I spoke with them once.
I never really discuss this category of Encounter - but I know your righteousness.

Oh AA! Bless your heart! I do NOT see you as a lesser experiencing Christian...gracious! I have sweatshirts older than you!
You are so much further down the spiritual road than most of us were at your age....don't despise your small beginnings! They are the foundation from which everything will be built! And you have a rock solid Jesus foundation!

Thanks a lot Hisgirl for the encouragement. I think my faith has been attacked again today, so I'm in a really bad mood. That pesky mind of mine! I think we need some inspiring angel stories over here; or at least I do!

I personally have never seen one, but my 2 closest friends did see one. Now I have seen Jesus in my room soon after I received the Gift of the Holy Spirit.

If you don't mind me asking-and you're free to keep this to yourself if your conscience tells you to do so-what did He look like?

I'm not sure but I think I might have seen one---I had had a dream of my car window being bashed in and the next day or two afterwards I was at Borders bookstore when someone bashed my passenger side window in to try to steal my car radio. The window glass people came out to my home to give me a new passenger window. What's really weird is that after looking thru the peephole, I opened the door to find that the glass man looked totally different from who I saw in the peephole. I often wonder if he was an angel. He came back later in the day to fix my window and that time he brought a little girl who kept me company while he fixed the car window. Lara

I had many encounters with the spiritual world during my lifetime, but these two events were the most memorable.
I believe that I may have seen angels when I was around 4 while in the hospital. The thing is I seem to remember seen them, but it could have also been my imagination. What happened was that I was always in the hospital for several illnesses and people thought that I would die. Even this church lady who came to pray for me thought that I was not going to make it. Nevertheless, I was in the hospital with my grandma, the doctor, and I believe a nurse. I was put on serum and was pretty much weak to the point that I told my grandma that I was going to die. Keep in mind that I was 4 and did not understand the concept of death and God although I was born into christianity. Then a while later my grandma said that she saw me start singing and looking up the ceiling, singing this song that says "Look his up there, he is coming." Now this song was a song I heard people sing in this one occassion, but I was singing it then for some odd reason. My grandma always told me this is what happened. As for me I thought I remember singing and looking at the ceiling and seen angels all in white coming down this stair two by two. Again I'm not sure.
Later on in my life, I also experience an encounter with an angel. Whether this was from God or not has not been confirmed to me, although I believe its most likely to be from God. It happened a while back when I was sleeping. I turn to my left and open my eyes to see a man who look like my father standing near my bed with his arm cross and head tilted on the side. My father usually does that when he is angry at me. The thing is although he looked and dress like my father, I can barely see through him cause he seems foggy. He was almost colorless because he looked faded, but he never said anything to me. If he did I would have been able to test whether he was of God or not. I wasn't afraid of him for someone reason and didn't feel the need to investigate what I was seen, so I turn back to my left and went back to sleep. I think he might have taking something out of my stomach like a ball, but I wasn't alert. I never thought for one moment I was hallucianating or imagining this. I do know the fact is that I saw it.
Most importantly, my father isn't dead and if he were dead I would have known it was a demon (familiar spirit) that disguise itself as a ghost. My father is a servant of God and many fellow christians and pastors comment on the fact that they see my father as man who loves God dearly. That is why till this day I still don't know if it was of God or not and why this angel was there.

I haven't seen them myself but my husband (who has discerning of spirits) has seen them - there were 3 in the room with us when my youngest daughter was born. He couldn't see the whole of them, just the outline of where their glory was.
I also know a minister that saw them when he got saved. It's a long story, but when he accepted Jesus he was on a beach in Australia outside a house where a party was going on. He prayed and turned around and there was a huge guy behind him with a big grin on his face who then disappeared - his guardian. There were a bunch of people hanging out the windows of the house waving at him and cheering, and he came to find out later it was the angels celebrating at his prayer.

I believe we all have a guardian angel or two.
Psalm 91:11
"For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways"
One night when I was riding in the car with my friends, I kept looking out the passenger window and seeing these lights, maybe about 8-10 of them circling irradicatly in the sky and following along with the car. I'm not one hundred percent sure, but I think this was God showing me the angels following and watching over me/us.

Hi there
My uncle has twice met an angel.
One threw him out of the path of an out of control truck. Another helped him when he was low.
Hebrews 1:14 NIV
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?

When I awake I am still with You
I've hesitated to write this, because I did post in a similar thread before, and the thread became twisted and horrible, so I deleted my post. I'll take a risk again.
I've never seen an angel, but something happened in December 2001 as I was walking up the church drive on a foggy night.
I was due to meet someone inside, and as I approached I could hear the piano being played inside.
The church was in total darkness, and I felt very uneasy, but my daughter was with me so I pretended everything was fine.
We both commented on the music.
I tried the door; it was locked, so we sat in the porch, thinking she would finish practicing then let us in, as she was expecting us.
The music continued for a minute or two, faint from behind the thick oak door.
Then around the corner, from outside, came the organist, and the music stopped simultaneously. She had heard nothing.
I have no idea what this all means, but I am so very glad to know they watch over us and our building.
Maybe we needed some extra protection that night, because it was not a good feeling to me, although my little daughter was completely at ease and untroubled!
God bless, love Susana
(And if anyone tramples on this post it will disappear again! LOL)
