Sweet Sounds From Heaven

We were meeting in a quaint little town for lunch. My friends had arrived from south Florida. I decided to scoot up early to rummage through a consignment shop with hopes of finding a pair of white capri pants. I had been very successful in this shop before, so my expectations were high. A rack was outside the store holding capri pants. Wah lah! I carefully looked at every pair of white pants on the rack and none suited me, nor were any of them my size.

Inside the store and greeted by the owner (she sure did remember me), I inquired about white capri pants. She asked if I had checked the rack outside, as that was “it” for capris. Cast down, but not destroyed, I quickly gleaned through the store. I requested a phone call should any show up, and with a nod of acknowledgement, I headed for the restaurant.

Passing by the rack, I noticed a white pair of pants sticking out from among the rest, and opted for a closer view. These were quite nice and golly gee, my size. They were not here a few minutes earlier. Amazing!! No tag either. This is strange, but let’s give them a try. Back inside the store I asked the owner for a price as there was no tag. “No tag?”, now we’re both amazed. She seemed confused, but glibly pulled a price out of the air, which made my ears happy; now if they will just fit. I was shocked! Fit me like a glove and had every feature I was hoping for. I decided to wear them. We made our exchange and this time I really headed for the restaurant ~ grinning all the way. Life is Good!!

A couple of weeks later, I called my friend who owns a garage. My car needed an oil change. She sounded “under the weather,” and informed me that she did not intend to stay as she was ill. “I’m coming and bringing my oil, I’ll be there in a few minutes.” “O.K., I’ll wait for you.” Arriving, and she looked the part. I had a tiny bottle of oil which I retrieved from my pocket. Anointed her forehead and prayed, commanded the fever to leave, rebuked all viruses and sicknesses in the powerful Name of Jesus, and we both said Amen!! She looked no different, nor did she feel different. In about 20 minutes, she started feeling better and ended up staying all day without sickness on her. My car got an oil change and I headed home.

Upon arrival, I went to the bedroom to change clothes and reached into my pocket for the small bottle of oil. It was not there. I didn’t think I had placed it in my purse, because it was too small, however I checked, to no avail. Oh well, it’s probably still on the counter at the shop. They’ll find it and return it I’m sure. Not to worry! I hated the thought of losing my little bottle of oil because it came from Israel. Just a sentimental thing.

Several days later I went into my computer room to check out my calendar, and there it was. That tiny bottle of oil sitting on the very edge of my desk. Kind of reminded me of that insurance commercial where stacks of dollar bills are staring back at you. Amazed!! I know I didn’t put it there. I didn’t even come into the computer room, and I certainly would not have placed such a small bottle just anywhere. That’s why I carried it in my pocket, to keep from losing it.

After the oil showed up, I got to thinking about my pants. Everything surrounding both events was strange, or rather “not natural.” Pants mysteriously showing up, extending out to catch my eye, my size, perfect fit, no tag, “Hello down there little earthling.” It just reminded me that Angels are real and do supernatural things. God pays attention to the littlest things that concern us. I faintly remember praying about the capris, but I did not petition Him about the oil. I do, however, live with an attitude of expectancy.

He knows our heart and our thoughts are ever before Him. Personally, I believe it is time to start seeing lots of supernatural things happen in the earth. Angels are on assignment to help complete God’s plan for man. These are just tidbits of what is to come. It is just God’s way of showing us He can do exceeding abundantly above what we dare ask or THINK.

Hebrews: 12:22 But ye are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the City of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of Angels. Hebrews 13:2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers; for thereby some have entertained Angels unawares. Psalm 103: 20 Bless the Lord, ye his Angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, harkening unto the voice of his word.

It’s wonderful to be under the Umbrella of Blessings and have the deck stacked in our favor. It’s even more wonderful to abide in Him and watch Him do His Supernatural Stuff!! Living in the Supernatural while still in this natural world is almost like cheating, but I’ll take it!!

St. John 15:4 - 7 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me. I am the vine, ye are the branches; He that abides in me and I in him, the same brings forth much fruit; for without me ye can do nothing. If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you.

It’s not our fault that He’s nuts about us to the point of stacking the deck, and He has a sleeve full of aces!!! It is a splendid thought to realize that it is not our imagination. Someone is out there and He really cares.

Psalms 91:9-11 Because thou has made the Lord, which is my refuge, even the most High thy habitation. There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh they dwelling. For He shall give His Angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
