I know this is not about a dream, but I had an experience a couple of years ago that I still wonder if this was "an angelic interaction."

I am a nervous flyer. I only get to fly on an airplane once a year. And, when I go it is usually without a "buddy." For some reason, I always feel much safer while traveling with someone I know.

So, each time I go I do a lot of praying before hand. I've seen God answer many of my prayers by spotting an "important" person sitting near me. Most of the times, it's been a pastor or someone reading a bible. Which to me is always a sign that guy has heard me.

This one year I was flying back home from the business trip. I had a teammate with me but she was in another part of the plane. The plane is loading and I was in the isle seat and another woman was in the window seat. The seat in the middle was empty. I was glad cause I am working on some class work and this leaves me more elbow room. Before I know it a man steps up and says he's assigned to that middle seat. I was a tad upset but moved so he could sit down.

Later in the flight he got to talking to me, first about my school work and then onto regular stuff (married, kids, came from, going to?). As the flight progressed we noticed we were having some rough patches and the pilot made us stay seated and belted.

This guy and I noticed that the lady next to the window was having a really bad time. She was shaking and seemed to be crying and clutching her passport. The guy leaned over and talked to her a bit, but she didn't speak much English. He eventually gave her his jacket to clutch and he would offer comforting words. I even tried to help calm her but of course she was too scared. Although I think she was comforted some.

During this whole time he and I are still talking with additional comments about how scary this kind of flight can be.

When we landed I was set to try and locate my teammate as we were driving together. As I stood up to grab my bag, I got my very first chance to look directly into the eyes of this guy and I felt this electric charge (best I can describe it) go through me. One of recognition, like. We said our goodbyes and I found my teammate.

Later, I realized that not only had this guy helped that other lady but me as well. If he had not been there and kept me talking, I would have been having an anxiety attack at such a rough ride. Not as bad as the other lady, but very nervous. I've never forgotten that or the eye contact. And, have wondered ever since if this was indeed an "angelic interaction."

Could have been.

Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

The Bible definately shows that they are a part of our existance. It's also important to remember that there are bad angels (demons or fallen angels) which try to deflect our attention away from Jesus.

Look at Paul's direction to Christians...

Eph. 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places].
