Seven Angels

Last night during a meeting with the folks in our congregation, I got to hear some amazing things. A young brother whom I know personally and who is a close friend of one of our church family members shared with them two incidents that occurred involving people living in his locality in Pynthorumkhrah.

The first incident involves a young Khasi girl, probably in her early teens, from a nominal Christian background. She has two siblings, but they're her step-father's children. Sadly, she used to be ill-treated at home and was expected to carry out the household chores most of the time. One evening, just recently, she was outside her house in the dark when suddenly she was possessed by a demonic spirit. Her hands were tightly closed across her chest in a cross position as if she was bound with a rope. She was brought in the house and some believers living in the surrounding neighborhood came to pray for her. But they were faced with strong resistance from the evil spirit and her hands wouldn't be loosened at all.

Later, even more believers poured in, and this time there were some pastors, too. The pastors anointed her hands with oil and prayed for her. This time she was delivered. She actually saw the demonic spirit leaving her body. But as soon as she was released she fell down on the floor and became unconscious for some time. Later when she returned to consciousness she had an amazing story to tell. She reported that when she fell down unconscious on the floor her spirit left her body and she went to heaven. She saw many angels there. As she approached them one of the angels told her it was not yet time for her to be there and that she needed to return back to earth. At this, she pleaded not to be sent back to the world, telling the angels the world is filled with so much wickedness and that she would prefer not to return there. But the angel told her she needed to go back and tell the world that the time for Jesus to return is more imminent than ever. She was told It will be very soon that He will return for His Bride and that she needs to be ready for His return.

The angel also told her that the revival here would gather greater momentum and that a much greater revival is on the threshold. This report came to me as a confirmation of what I wrote in one of my previous reports on revival. And that is exactly the reason why we as a church here gather every Tuesday evening without any agenda but to seek the face of the Lord for more of the outpouring of His Spirit in our land.

The girl's parents are now turning to the Lord and attending meetings regularly.

A second incident took place in the same location (Pynthorumkhrah). Just a couple of evenings ago two ladies–one Khasi (probably a Christian) and another a Hindu–witnessed an event at the same time. They saw a group of seven illuminating stars in the dark sky. These stars became brighter and brighter and suddenly transformed into seven angels. Suddenly these seven angels took off in seven different directions. That was it, but what a profound message for us to unravel. Once again, it seems, that the Lord is sending His seven stars which are actually seven angels of the seven churches, to speak to His Bride (Rev. 1:20). I believe the message the angel gave to the girl I mentioned above is the primary message for us to hear–to prepare ourselves for the Lord's imminent return. He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches.

But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are written in Heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect (Heb 12:22-23)

(The Hindu lady who saw this vision exclaimed to the Christians around her, "Your God is a true God!" and is now expressing her desire to follow Christ.)

What wonderful prodding to continue looking forward to the return of Christ. We shouldn’t need to see angels or visions to be excited about Jesus' soon return to earth. But such testimonies as these definitely confirm what we know from the scriptural prophecies.

Is Jesus coming back soon? Of course it is sooner than ever before. Yet isn’t it remarkable that so many witnesses seem to be hearing the same warning in miraculous ways? May the bride prepare herself for the coming of her Bridegroom, and may we all "beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest" (Matt. 9:38; Luke 10:2).
