Praying and Praising Angel

 I drove from Orlando on Highway 4 headed to Fort Meyers. When I reach Highway 75 I turned South. I drove a little South, and before the next turnoff I saw in the sky unusual clouds that I thought looked to me like a Glorious Sky over in the East. It was so striking I pulled off the road and took these pictures. This was sometime around January 2005, give or take.
Almost a year later December 2005 I had come back to Texas and brought these photographs with me for some reason. In my mind I just thought these are wonderful pictures. I left many behind in storage.
Christmas was about here and I thought I would like to give my kids something else and these pictures came to mind. I enlarged the first one and was taken back! I saw a praying Angel. I just got excited! When I looked at the other picture I couldn't believe my eyes because I saw that same Angel Cloud Praising God with her wings fold forward and upward and her head held high and looking straight to Heaven. I printed the pictures on canvas and framed them. They loved them and saw exactly what I saw, a praying Cloud Angel.
When I first saw this Angel Cloud December 2005 I thought about the Hurricanes people had experienced south of where I took the picture. Punta Gorda, which was several miles on South West from where the pictures were taken. And wondered if this was a sign from God for people in that whole area who had suffered great devastation from Hurricanes.
Then this year, 2008, when I heard about the Revival breaking out at Lakeland Florida for some reason I had it in my mind that Lakeland was up close to Jacksonville. So I just put it out of my mind and thought it wasn't related. As time went by I began to think I wanted to go down there so I looked at a map,
I must tell you I was overwhelmed when I saw where Lakeland is located. The pictures I had taken were right in the area of Lakeland, Florida. From the sky perspective that cloud could have been right over Lakeland.
I just know that this is a sign and a wonder that took place before the Revival began. Perhaps an answer to the Prayers that were poured out before.

Now there is more to the story. Todd Bentley has no idea who I am and how in the Spirit he and I were linked through God, and through the word God gave him. I want to take this opportunity to tell what God did. In 2004 I lived in Vermont. One day I decided to pray and ask the Lord to show me a way to make money. I wanted an idea. I prayed for a very long time and then said, "Lord I am going to lay down and wait on you to hear or see an idea." While I was laying there, I heard a voice, whether it was in the Spirit or I heard it out loud I couldn't distinguish. The voice kept saying my name over and over. I recognized the voice and it was the voice of the husband of my Awesome friend. I immediately thought I needed to call, I thought maybe something had gone wrong. I called and there was no answer. So I just went back to the couch with full expectation to hear from the Lord. I began to have a vision. I saw myself inside an old house, suddenly I realized that it was a house similar to another friends house except for the large chandelier. Just then an idea bolted into my mind what this friend could do to rent one of the apartments that was available in this house. I then had another idea about marketing maple syrup, a wonderful product famous in Vermont. I couldn't understand why God gave me ideas for others and not for me. I called my friend that needed the apartment rented and he was very grateful. Later that evening I decided to got to a church meeting being held at the Holiday Inn. After the service a young man came to me and asked me if I would read something for him and tell him what I think. I said of course, may I take it home and get back to you.

That night I layed in bed and began to read this study, which was several pages long. It was a study by someone I barely had heard of and wasn't too sure about. I mean he had all those tattoos! Maybe not as many as he does now, but I was doing what I knew God wanted me to do and that was read that paper. I continued to read Todd Bentley's study on Angels. When I got to the part about asking God (Todd's teaching said to ask God) to send His Angels to the four corners of the earth to bring back the finances I knew God wanted me to have. I realized THIS IS IT! So I asked My Father God, my Creator.

Then a couple of weeks or so after I had asked, the person who owned the Apartment house called and told me he and his aunt and uncle had been praying about something and he wanted to ask me if I would help. I am a photographer and I have this web site. He asked me if I would come and take pictures of his house, inside and out and put them on my web site as an ad, for sale by owner. He and his aunt and uncle had decided that I could have anything over 1 million dollars that the house sold for. Frankly, I don't believe he thought it was going to sell. The house was appraised for 750,000 at the time. How Great is our God. This was not much for the God who created everything.
He decided to sell it for 1 million one hundred and sixty thousand. I photographed the house inside and out using available light and some lighting I placed. Then I learned how to put those pictures on my web site. I was astounded at the swiftness in which I learned and the easiness I experienced as I did it. I wrote the copy and put the ad in the newspaper. 7 days later someone came to look at the house and on the steps outside signed a contract for $1,160,000,00. When the house was fully closed my friend paid me $100,000.00. He didn't pay me all of it because he included the garage which was a separate property.

Even Greater when I found out the study of Angels by Todd Bentley was given to me because the printer at the Holiday Inn printed out two copies instead of the one asked for. The young man who gave me the copy said he gave it to me because of a look on my face. I don't know what that look was, but I know it was the Holy Spirit who prompted him. But even more than that. The study sent to the young man via the internet was from my Wonderful Friends Husband whom I had heard calling out my name that morning, as I waited on a message from the Lord. God is intricately involved in our life working things out.

Now, if I receive anything from these pictures I am led to give 10% to Todd Bentley's ministry. This is like our Father who would tie these signs and wonders together to show HIS MAGNIFICENCE throughout the WORLD.

This is nothing that I sought, but what came to me because I believe Him when He says to ask and ye shall receive. I asked for an idea. He gives us above and beyond all that we could ask or think.

Blessings,

Psalm 23

A Psalm of David

The Lord is my Shepherd I shall not want.

He makes me to lie down in green pastures:

He leads me beside the still waters.

He restores my soul;

He leads me in paths of righteousness

For His name sake.

Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,

I will fear no evil;

For you are with me;

Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;

My cup runs over,

Surely Goodness and Mercy shall follow me all the days of my life,

And I will dwell in the house of the Lord, Forever.
