9 Because you have made the Lord your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, 10 There shall no evil befall you, nor any plague or calamity come near your tent. 11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service]. 12 They shall bear you up on their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone.--Psalm 91:9-12, AMPC

God's angels are very real. Usually invisible, they are forever working to keep you safe, to arrange circumstances to lead you closer to God, and otherwise help you achieve God's plan for your life.  However, you can hinder them with negative words--but empower them with the Word of God!

When you speak the Word of God, and also when you pray in the Holy Spirit (tongues), the angels hear you speaking the language of Heaven, and they go to work even more on your behalf, and for those for whom you pray and proclaim the Word! 

Once (more than once, but let's start here!), I was being foolish. An ice storm, which is very unusual for my part of Texas, hit our area. Some things had thawed, and I was determined to get back to my new job, several miles away. 

I took the usual route, and the roads were mostly clear. However, my usual route from the country where I lived to the city included a high hill. I'd forgotten that there was probably ice still on the hill.

But, when I started up the hill, I definitely remembered--and as I neared the crest, my Thunderbird, heavy as it was, started sliding backwards, towards a deep ditch.

There was, of course, no other traffic on top of that icy hill for me to worry about. But the ditch was a big problem.

I'm not sure what I said, but I called out to the LORD, Who is forever faithful--and always with us! Suddenly (and I do mean "suddenly"!), my car stopped sliding, and there was a car behind me--a 280 ZX--a sportscar quite a bit lighter than my vehicle! A blond-headed woman was standing by the car, and said, "Do you want me to bump you over?"

This all happened to quickly for me to even be surprised, and I simply said, "Yes!"

I'm not even sure I thanked the angel. 

(Forget thinking that angels are all male. They are not, and there have been other female angels appear to people!)

She got back in the 280Z, and gently put the nose of her car in the back of my Tbird, and did just what she said--pushed me over the hill.  

The ice was even thicker on the other side, and the section between the tires was high. I coasted to the bottom, and I do mean coasted, because, even though the engine was running, I discovered when I reached the bottom and could barely turn the steering wheel to pull off the road, that the gas line had come loose because of the high ice and snow between the tires. As I coasted down, and,  discovered that the gas line had been pulled loose.  

It seemed I was stuck, but I was safe. 

Resting in the LORD, wanting to be at work, wondering what to do, the LORD Who is faithful forever had arranged for a mature couple to be traveling on the main highway at just that time. They stopped and agreed to take me to my workplace, on their way to their destination.

God is so faithful! 

There have been other instances of angelic activity that I've recognized in my life. God is good, faithful, and always watching over us by His Sprit and His angels!

⁷ The Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him [who revere and worship Him with awe] and each of them He delivers.--Psalm 34:7, AMPC
