A Visitation of Angels

A Visitation of Angels  by Marvin Van Vlymen

It wasn't very long ago that I had an occasion to be at the hospital and found myself waiting in a hallway waiting area with my wife Cathy. As I sat there, I was actually passing the time by reading a book that my son wrote and Cathy was sitting on the other side of the hall across from me. As I read, I suddenly became aware that someone was standing in front of me, and I looked up. 

It took a minute to process what I saw. In front of me stood a man who was at least seven feet tall, and was dressed like he had just stepped out of the 1940s.  He was dressed in a nice suit and hat and although it was not old or shabby appearing, it was definitely from a different era. He was carrying an old leather briefcase. When I looked up and made eye contact with him, he said, "You are a minister of the gospel of Jesus Christ." I said "Yes I am." 

He sat down next to me and laid his briefcase across his lap and opened it. In the briefcase was a bible and a book by Smith Wigglesworth. He took the book by Smith Wigglesworth out of his briefcase and showed it to me. He said "I want you to get this book and read it. It is going to be important for you." I said "I will." 

At this time my wife Cathy needed me for something and called me to come across to talk to her. After she spoke to me I asked her if she saw that I was talking to that odd looking gentleman who was sitting with me. She said she didn't see me talking to anyone. I asked her how in the world she could have missed him as he was easily more than seven feet tall. She said she didn't see him. I turned to point him out and he was not there. I had only been away from him a minute and there was no place he could have gone. 

It was then that I realized that Heaven had visited me.  The first thing I did was get the book by Smith Wigglesworth and read it. The Lord showed me some important things and things that really spoke to me personally. 

When Heaven breaks into your life to bless you with help, instruction or revelation, follow the instructions. You too will be blessed!
