sam the angel

2Ki 6:15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early the next morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my lord, what shall we do?” the servant asked.
2Ki 6:16 “Don’t be afraid,” the prophet answered. “Those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
2Ki 6:17 And Elisha prayed, “O LORD, open his eyes so he may see.” Then the LORD opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.

As I was walking,on August 23rd, 2010 and spending time with the Lord, the Bible verses above came to mind. I had been receiving many messages over the months preceding this about guardian angels that were watching out over me. Message after message, through friends, songs, Bible verses, etc. So, I asked God if He would allow me to see the angels. I looked around, but I did not see anything. So, then I had asked Him if I could just know the name of my guardian angel, and if He would describe him/her/it to me. Immediately the name sam was given to me. God began to also reveal to me that while sam is my main angel, I had thousands of angels encamped around me, to protect me daily. He told me that sam is a warrior, courageous, mighty and strong. I envisioned a golden suit of armor, a sword, and a shield. He also shared with me that sam takes care of animals in some way shape or form in the Kingdom of Heaven. It's not like an audible voice that I hear when God speaks. It is like my Spirit begins to speak to me with an inner knowing. His voice is loving, calm and peaceful. He does not talk like me, so I can tell the difference between His voice, and mine. It is like when someone is narrating the scene out loud in a movie that you are watching, even though you cannot see them. Only they are speaking out loud, and this is more of a inner knowing of the words. It is as if the words are coming not from my brain at the top of my head, but from within my heart. He revealed to me some of the times that sam was battling for me. One time, I was driving down the highway in the snow, and I heard a voice tell me to slow down. I was already driving very slow, but I listened. As I did, the car in the lane to the right of me started to skid out of control, and turned around into my lane. In the midst of seeing the spinning car, I had brought my vehicle to a dead stop. The car ended up being 2" if that from my front bumper, it's front bumper nearly touching mine. It would have been a head on collision. Another time, when I used to drink heavily I was kicked out of a bar for being belligerent with the waitress. As I was sitting out there, a man asked if I needed a ride home, I said sure. I had so much to drink, I could not remember where I lived. All I can remember is that one minute we were at the bar, and the next we were in the middle of the park in the woods in his convertible car. The man had said to me, do you realize that you just got into a car with a complete stranger, and now I have you in the middle of the woods and could kill you right now if I wanted to? I sobered up immediately after he had made this statement, but I still do not remember leaving the park, or the ride home with the guy. I just remember that I was home. I have no idea how he got that convertible in the middle of the woods like that?? I asked God if it was ok for me to thank sam for all he has done for me. The answer was NO! All Glory to God. The angels do not need, or want a thank you, for they are just doing the work of their Father, and could do nothing if not for Him. That is why you will notice I am not capitalizing his name to respect his wishes. It was funny because I had already been getting a message myself about being humble. I had been typing my initials art, rather than ART for that very reason. To remind myself to stay humble.

That night before I had gone to bed, I asked the Lord to confirm for me that what I had heard was not in my mind. That He was really speaking to me. I had woken up twice once in the middle of the night, the first time I looked at my clock and saw 91:11, and heard Psalms. Then my alarm went off and I hit snooze. It went off again, and I hit snooze, the third time I went to hit snooze, but this time I looked at the time 6:18 and heard Genesis. I went back to sleep and had a dream that my blanket on my bed was covering over me, over my face, and I could not pull it off. I began to praise the Lord Jesus Christ as my Lord and my Savior in my dream with the blanket over me. I remember that under the blanket I had this strange sensation all over my body. When I woke up I turned Benny Hinn on the TV like I do every morning, and he quoted the following verse:

Rev 19:10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”

Then he went on to say that the Lord covers us with an anointing like a blanket. He is speaking of a mantle, and if you step into the mantle you will be used.

WOW!!! I could not believe my ears after the dream that I had just had! God had definitely confirmed that sam did not want to be worshipped. I wondered what the other two verses meant that were given to me. I looked them up when I got to work:

Ps 91:11 For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;
Ps 91:12 they will lift you up in their hands, so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.

Ge 6:18 But I will establish my covenant with you, and you will enter the ark you and your sons and your wife and your sons’ wives with you.
Ge 6:19 You are to bring into the ark two of all living creatures, male and female, to keep them alive with you.
Ge 6:20 Two of every kind of bird, of every kind of animal and of every kind of creature that moves along the ground will come to you to be kept alive.

The first is obvious, the second He is speaking of the animals, and I remembered that He said that sam takes care of animals. It was not in the first 6:18 that had been given, but in reading that my eyes had dropped to the part about the animals. Not to mention there is no way I could have seen 91:11 on my clock unless maybe it was backwards, or supernatural.

That's the way He always seems to work with me, first the Word, then the confirmation. Isn't He fun?
