THE NIGHT I MET ARCHANGEL RAPHAEL PAGE 03

And then he stepped out and stood in store under the parking lot lights. I started staring. Depending on what social circles you speak to

I AM this nosy.

And I looked up and down and back again.

Kids, It wasn’t my finest hour..

I then began to feel endearment towards him and then fear. I mean my town is pretty tame, but I started to worry that someone might jump his ass. I watched in the rear view mirror as he and his cart crossed the street and turned down the dark corner.

At first, I thought to myself, was that an angel? I don’t know why I thought that. But, he wasn’t the buffed, seven-feet-tall-yielding-a-long- sword-used-to-cut-down-a-dragon, like the drawings I saw online. Or "see-through-like" I saw on t.v.

Looking back now. a man in the middle of the Americas. wearing a head to toe brown coarse wrap to shelter himself from say...the desert like someone I know, but I can’t put my finger on it...Yeshua?

I prayed to God under my breath- was that man an Angel? And I left it at that.

My child finally came out and I ask them did they see a man in there wearing a dark brown tunic and shawl wrapped around his body?

"YES! He was there in the magazine section beside the lottery booth, when I approached the area to choose the numbers. Then while I was choosing the numbers, he looked over my shoulder and said- "Are you sure you want to choose those numbers? I hope there are winning numbers,"

Then he walked to the middle of the store, in front of where they keep the chocolates and candy and called out-"I hope you win the next lotto!" (AN ASIDE-This is when I would see him from the car.)

At night, we prepared for bed by doing Bible studies and devotionals where we pray, read our apps' verse of the day. I kept getting this sinking feeling that that was no ordinary man.

The verse of the day was read to us and we both looked at each other,

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

Hebrews 13:2 KJV

God confirmed what I thought deep within my soul.

But, how did I know it was Archangel Raphael?

Well for one thing, I prayed and ask God which Archangel it was-for example, afterwards I felt compelled to watch a video of the Book of Enoch and I came across the quote immediately -

The second is he who presides over every suffering and every affliction of the sons of men, the holy Raphael.

The Book Of Enoch 40:9

According to Enoch, Archangel Raphael was the Archangel who took care of the sick. It made sense with the conditions I have to struggle with.

I laughed and gave thanks to God.

Every chance God got, He would put his name in front of my path.
