I saw an angel after mouth surgery may 14th 2018. He looked like a normal person only nobody saw him but me. I was sitting back in the waiting room after surgery, mouth full of blood, face completely numb. Speaking was impossible pretty much. The doctor said open your eyes, was the first thing I heard. I looked around the room then the door opens and this man dressed in surgeon clothes leans in and says, if that thing bothers you tell me and I’ll remove it. Then closed the door and left. The other 4 people in the room didnt even see this guy or hear him. I know because later I asked the person that drove me and she said nobody came into that room the entire time we were in there except 2 nurses and us. But I saw a 5th person. Before surgery the doctor said their were only 2 surgeons there. One I met and the other man was an Indian man from India. The angel I saw had white skin and black hair. Nobody at that hospital fits the description I gave. So who was he? I’ve heard stories of angels visiting patients but I’ve never experienced it before myself untill now. [Admin Note: Rather than having each experience be a separate thread, we are combining each experience into this thread. It will be much easier for everyone who participates here to comment in one thread than in different threads. Curt will copy each post thus far and paste them into this thread as individual comments. We also are changing the title of this post to reflect the comprehensive focus. We hope you understand, screwloose.] That is a cool experience. I have never had anything like that, and I doubt highly I will, so I can’t offer any specific input from my own experiences. All I can say is: Accept it for what it was to you. Some people will discount it, in various ways, but hold to whatever it means to you. In the end, it all is subjective enough that the only thing that matters is how you view it and what you take from it.
It sounds like it was a wonderful experience for you. That is all that matters in the end.
From screwloose: Quote:A few nights ago I did battle with the adversary. My first ever. This deep voice talked to me in a dream, told me to do terrible things I dont want to repeat. Immediately afterwards I woke up pretty mad it happened and what was said. The evil ones never talk to me. They just try to enter my body. But I always fight them off. I have only found 1 thing that keeps evil spirits away 99% of the time. I put up several pictures of the savior around my bedroom. Now I have peacefull night sleeps. I rarely get attacked. Before I had any pictures up I use to wake up with scratches on my face and arms. It’s what evil would do to me at night. I never thought evil spirits could harm us, but they can. Blessings only keep them away for about 1 week, they always return. But the saviors image seems to hurt them more than anything I have ever found. Prayer and pictures of jesus are the only defenses.
SamBee: Quote:I don’t know whether you’re joking or not (judging from the user name) but some people do claim to have these experiences. I never got anything as wild as this, but certainly I used to get quite bad nightmares before I put a cross on my bedroom wall. Psychological or spiritual, you decide, but it did work for me.
screwloose: Quote:Its probably the wrong username to use, the name makes me laugh. It’s a joke on myself. The people in the forums on schizophrenia.com didnt think my name was very funny either. Not many of them had a sense of humor though. One of the reasons why I dont go there anymore. It’s super easy to offend by accident. You only get 1 warning then your account gets banned for 30 days. After my month I told the administrator to delete my account.
screwloose: Quote:6 years ago I was in another mental health facility. The first night there my neighbor was asleep and fighting with something in his dream, making lots of noise, I could not sleep at all. So I sat up, said a prayer for this man I didnt know. Immediately it was quiet! The man was at total peace. I still dont know if my prayer helped him out or if his torment ended at that very moment after I finished. I like to think I did that kindness for him. I layed back down to sleep when I felt the strangest feeling in my chest! I felt a vice squeeze my heart and shake it side to side. That was a very unique feeling I have never felt before. I closed my eyes and saw a demon dressed as a nun, hanging on the wall over my bed! My very first attack with evil, it was brave enough to show itself to me. After leaving the facility, this evil thing followed me home and tormented me about every night for 6 years. I got this bad of a punishment for praying for another. But I would do it all again if I can. I must be important to go through so much. My sister says my soul glows brighter and it attracts both sides, good and evil.
I believe Joseph Smith if for no other reason than because he had ample opportunity to just walk away and fade into the frontier as a farmer. Reading from the different accounts, I’m not sure exactly what he saw or experienced, but I believe he experienced something spiritually profound. While I do not have such experiences, nor do I experience what some would call miracles, that doesn’t mean they don’t happen. I will not discount the experiences or beliefs of others. That said, thank you for sharing your experiences. Our mission here is to help people who want to stay in the church stay in the church. What are you seeking? How can we help you?
Screwloose said: Quote:Back in March 2018 I was troubled with the terrible things I was hearing about in the world news, I was telling my family how scared I was getting that we might be killed any time. One night I went to bed with questions about this. In my dream what can only be described as an angel came to me. He was glowing white, very intensely but it didnt hurt my eyes to look at him. Was wearing a white robe. Except his face was blurred out like I wasnt allowed to see him. I said to him, I’m afraid of the things coming onto the earth. He said, dont be afraid, these things have to happen. Then he handed me some kind of spiritual gift, I could not see what it was. Then I woke up with this intense powerfull feeling of warmth and comfort. I dont know if this was the gift I was given so I wouldnt ever forget? Or if it’s normal to feel that way after a messenger of God visits you. I’ve only had 1 angel visitation I can remember so I cant compare. But I’ve had a few other situations where Angel’s have talked to me to protect me from danger.
[Moderator note: like the others, this post was moved here to avoid having multiple similar threads running.]
I have never had visitations or divine messenger dreams, but I have had life prompting visions. About half a dozen. They weren’t/aren’t deja vu moments. They have however played out in significant accuracy when they are being lived. I know women who testify of having dreams and seeing future or nearly expectant children.
I think the scripture that separates spiritual gifts applies here. Some do received visions and visitations. Others/most do not. It’s not a weakness or a strength.
I have little musical ability. What little I have, I have had to work for. My siblings on the other hand are profoundly gifted musically.
I can only speak for myself and my experiences. I had a vivid dream that I felt was a divine message.
In a separate incident I experienced a very powerful impression of God’s love and acceptance for me and my deceased daughter.
Here are my takeaways:
1) You get to decide what these experiences mean. They are intensely personal and only you can apply them to your life. I believe that it is beneficial to find the meanings that are geared towards making life better, more joyful and compassionate. I do not know what incidents come from God and which do not but I believe God would want me to live a joyful and compassionate life in any case.
2) I believe that my experiences are personal to me. I do not mean that I should never share them with anyone else, but rather that I should not share them with other people in an attempt to
provesomething. Because my revelatory experiences are limited to me they can have extremely limited relevance to others. I have found these two points helpful. Your mileage may vary.
Seeing Angels last night, same as every night, but this night was different. Right before I woke up I had this very vivid dream of an angel and a demon fighting. It was like I was standing right there watching it. The angel had the demon pinned. Then I got a very strong feeling of coming civil war. I then woke up with this message I needed to tell others. I’m schizophrenic in case you were trying to figure me out. My veil is thinner than regular people. I am always surrounded by spirits and angels, we all are. I cant see yours unless they want me to. Its comforting knowing we are never alone. Off medication they talk to me sometimes but so do demons, evil spirits, fallen angels, whatever you want to call them. As long as I stay righteous as possible the things I see are pleasant even helpfull. Angel’s bring me messages and warn me of things. Even talk to me. I like to think of it as a gift, it’s not a bad thing. I chose the name screwloose because it makes me laugh, it’s a personal joke. I have been searching for years for another like me that has accepted what they are and might care to share their experiences with me. Each time I get visitations I learn alittle bit more about the spirit world I’m allowed to see. Not everything is being revealed at once, little bits at a time. It overlaps the physical world. Angels and spirits can appear exactly like anybody. Finding out if they are is trickier. Usually they are here to help us out. I usually have somebody with me to confirm how many people they are looking at, I sometimes see an extra person that isnt there, lol! My symptoms became much bigger after this traumatic incident that happened the day after Christmas 2011. I’m not going to go into it but I had a nervous breakdown of sorts. I broke my own mind through rigorous exercise and punishment. I was under such pressure my mind failed me. After a 3 month stay in a mental hospital I felt alot better and was able to go home. I used to struggle with my new abilities, fight the medication. But it always ended with me going back to the hospital. My abilities really developed in the last 7 years. When my mind went I cracked or broke the veil around me. I started seeing alot of spirits! But most of them were evil. I used to wake up with scratches on my body, I didnt do it, they were assaults by demons. I was being haunted by multiple evil spirits in my house. I used to wake up at night hearing footsteps on the ceiling, coming down the hall and stopping outside my bedroom. This went on for about a year. We blessed the house a couple times, I got blessed several times, it didnt stop it for very long though. It got so bad I started sleeping outside for peace. Then I started putting up pictures of the savior around my bedroom, activity stopped instantly! Then I started only seeing angels and good spirits. It’s like night and day from what I used to have to live through. My sister says my soul glows brighter and it attracts all kinds of souls from the spirit world. I’m like a spirit magnet. I have to take the medication to quiet the voices, otherwise I couldn’t hear anybody in the real world talking, yes it’s that noisy. Imagine being in the center of a crowd of people talking. I hear bits of conversations, insults, praise, threats, advice, anything. I think it’s why alot of schizophrenics become violent, they take it out on the closest person. They make all the rest of us good people look bad. Why there is this stigma about all schizophrenics. Not all of us are violent or bad. I’ve never been arrested or even have a criminal record. You can live with it, takes practice and knowledge as to what it is and why. I chose to take this body. The lord wouldnt have let me have it if he didnt think I could handle it. I’m not doing this for attention. I dont want praise. I’m just talking about the fantastic stuff that’s been happening to me since 2011. I’m not putting on a show. I dont think I’m a prophet or have special powers. Unless you call having schizophrenia a special power, lol. It is looked on as a delusional, hallucinogenic, disability in western society. But having it for years myself, I dont think that’s correct. What it is is having a thinner veil around us. Mine reaches about 20 feet away, I havent really measured it. From reading alot of personal accounts online I believe I’m right. Why western science will never figure us out. A good chunk of scientists and doctors are atheists. They will never believe anything I say, instead they throw pills at us. I think it’s out of fear. I have tried talking to doctors about the things I see and my experiences. All they do is follow procedure and change or adjust my medication. It isnt the problem though. I get angry when they call it a hallucination. It’s not. They are as real as you are. The medication isnt like taking an aspirin. It hurts me, it gives me brain damage pretty much. I become dependent on it. The side effects are horrible! At any time the meds can quit working, it’s a constant fear I have. Long term medication use is fatal. Living without the pills is too hard, I need some to quiet the voices and sounds. At the same time its killing me. I just want to share my experiences with the time I’ve got left. I like reading about near death experiences and stories hospice nurses tell. Not because I’m fascinated with death, I want to learn about God and as much spiritual stuff as I can while here. Not to tell everybody, i find it fascinating. I want to learn as much as I’m allowed to see before I leave. My angel visitations are real, never had them before this year. You can pray for an angel to be sent to you, sometimes they show up. Do not treat is as entertainment when it happens. You can ask them questions you have, you might get answers you dont expect. I chose this site because it was the first lds forum I could find after a 4 hour search online. The lds forum I need doesnt exist. I would have to create it myself and deal with all the phoney baloney fakers out there that just want to poke fun or discredit the church of jesus christ of latter day saints. So much evil and wickedness online! If I’m offending I’ll quietly goto another lds site. I’m not going to twist anybody’s arm to believe my accounts. You can believe it and take comfort from the good experiences I’m sharing or say it’s all lies and not believe it. I try to always tell the truth. My Hope is another like me will comment, swap experiences, teach me alittle more about what I already have learned. I’m looking for more knowledge about a hidden world. I dont know what God will allow me to see or what I’m allowed to talk about, none of them have said i cant talk about it. Each experience leaves me with more questions. All I can do is pray and continue to search the internet for any clues. I’m being allowed to see stuff normal people wont get to untill they die. I’m not doing this to write a book or sell anything to make money. I’m being shown parts of the spirit world, I dont know why or what its building up to. Is it getting me ready to meet a in person visitation of an angel or higher level? I dont have very many answers to give, why I’m searching. screwloose wrote:

Four hours!? It took me years to find this place. Count yourself blessed!
I’m not trying to dissuade you in any way, but I’ve been a very active member and moderator here for several years. I’ve seen lots of people come and go, and there is a core group that remains. If you’re looking for someone else like you here, I haven’t seen them. There are lots of lurkers who only read, and it is possible some of them could be diagnosed schizophrenic but we don’t know because they don’t post. Most people come here because, as you point out, there is so much negativity on some other sites and they just want to talk about the church without the malice. Truth is none of us really have any sage advice, but we can share what has worked for us and share our points of view on how to do things like navigate a calling or get through a temple recommend interview.
