POLL -- Have you ever seen an angel or angels first hand?

I used to believe every person could have a Joseph Smith like experience, probably because I heard a GA or BYU professor say so when I was young.

Now I am more inclined to believe the allegory of the olive tree. The Lord of the vineyard stops in, does alot of work, then goes away for a while to let his garden grow.

[TheChristian]

A certain christian attended a momon church, whilst one of the Mormon leaders spoke from the pulpit, the christian seen a Spirit personage, he was wrapped in a long robe split in the middle overlapping, he did not shine with a white light, but had a faint blue lustre.
He walked up the isle and went up the steps to the pulpit, when he turned the christian recognised him, it was a deceased mormon he knew and it was his son a mormon leader speaking from the pulpit.
He put his hand apon his sons shoulder, immediatly his son the mormon leader began to cry and changed his sermon to speak about his beloved deceased father whom he missed so much. After the meeting the christian told the Mormon leader what he had seen, but was not believed due to him not being a mormon and he went away...About ten minutes later he approached the christian and apologised saying, you were speaking the truth, for what you described my wife seen the very same.........
The christian attended two mormon baptismns, the first he seen two spirit persons, a man and a woman, they were man and wife, they were being taken by two other spirits to watch a school teacher being baptised.
The christian told the schoolteacher after he was baptised what he had seen, the school teacher was taken aback and said what did the spirit couple look like and so the christian described them, the school teacher exclaimed, "That is my grandfather and grandmother, they brought me up as a child!
The Christian also watched the other baptism taking place, again he seen two spirits guiding a young slender woman with short light hair to the baptism of the man....And so after the baptism he told the man what he had seen. The man asked him to describe what the woman looked like and so the christian described her in detail, the man looked suprised and said," You have just described my dear wife, she died some years ago!"
The christian attended a mormon meeting were a mormon missionary was giving a sermon, there was a personage of Spirit entered the missionary, the spirit was of a bright golden hue and as he entered the missionary, the missionary had a faint golden glow around him, when ever the missionary spoke negatively about other christian churchs, the Spirit person would gently withdraw from him and stand to one side and when the missionary ceased speaking negative about other christian churchs, he would gently enter said missionary again....A mormon sitting next to the Christian seen exacty the same....
Oft the christian seen Spirit personages with a see thru bluish lustre with a faint bluish light enamating from them in mormon churchs....

I have. I've seen one face to face. I won't give the details about this, but yes I've seen one. He was beautiful


I will share an experience that I had as a little boy though
I've shared this before on the forum, but it's been awhile.

I grew up having awful night terrors...the kind where people cant wake you up. My mom and dad used to do everything they could to wake me, but i couldn't snap out of it. Sometimes i would wake up in the closest or the backyard paralyzed with fear. It got to the point where I was afraid of the night and of going to sleep . I would see things and hear voices. When I would wake up in my closet there would be this blanket of darkness that would surrounded me. But it all lead up to one of my most sacred experiences. One night I was laying in my bed forcing myself to not go to sleep because I had woken up in the closest a few nights before. While I was laying there, this huge ball of light came in my room. It was big enough to surround a grown-up... but I couldn't see into it. The light moved into my room and when it past my bed I stuck my elbow into it and I was washed over with such euphoria that I can't describe...my body was humming and this feeling came to my mind from the light that I've know and loved this person for such a long time that it made my mind shake...I got this glimpse of eternity, of brotherhood, friendship, and love. Then the light moved past me and went into my closet.

After that I stopped sleepwalking and waking up in my closest and what not. I still had bad dreams(still do) but the craziness stopped. I told my family, but the said it was just a dream(understandably)... LOL I remember being so insulted that they didn't believe me.

This is one of the most clear memories I have as a child. It had a real effect on my life.
