Angels and Destiny

I often get enquiries regarding angels. It’s surprising how many people report having been visited by one of these heavenly beings. It is my view that most, if not all of us have guides who try and direct us throughout our lives. In very gentle ways, they put thoughts and feelings into our minds in order that our lives go in more meaningful directions. This is no easy business for them as our minds are usually preoccupied with the many thoughts and problems associated with modern living.
 
It is my view that our connections with the spirit world were clearer during ancient times. This is understandable when life expectancy was much shorter than it is today.
Surveys taken show that, on the whole, many people still believe in an afterlife
even if they don’t attend church on a regular basis. To believe in Angels or heavenly guides, there must surely be paths of life we are meant to take. As human beings, we are given that sacred gift of ‘free will’. Each moment of our life we can be making choices, which can either help or harm others. When these decisions are made that involve close family members, their effects can be far reaching. If we were able to look back at our lives, would we still make the same choices, and if not, why? Could it be that looked at with experience, we realise that our lives and those connected to us could have been so different.
 
It needs to be said at this point that many painful and tragic events happen within our lives that we have little or no influence over. I for one would not suggest that these things ‘were meant to be’. This short article refers to the events within our lives that we do have some control over and can be affected by making the right decision at the right time.
 
Our heavenly helpers have a much more informed view of where our lives should be going and whom we should spend it with. Even my own son some six years ago was not in the right relationship and I said, don’t worry, in the last week of May or first week of June next year you will meet someone who was meant for you and her name will either be Samantha or have something to do with that name. Given this was the October of the previous year; he was reluctant to believe it. The months rolled by and in the last week of May met a girl named Samantha, and I said, ‘what happened?’ ‘Nothing’, he replied. However the following week (the first week of June) he met a girl named Rebecca, but her parents were going to name her Samantha. He is still with her now! I must stress that this information was passed to me by one of my own heavenly helpers.
 
The point about all of this is that, in my view, much of our life is set out to receive certain lessons and to do so; we need to involve certain people in our lives. I’m sure the reader of this will have experienced that special chemistry that made one person suitable and another not so. Many search for their soul partner but should not be depressed if their present one is less than ideal because the lessons in the relationship might have been needed.
 
Seen from a heavenly point of view, there are signposts that occur within our lives suggesting a more meaningful direction for us to take but many, because they can be driven by negative compulsions such as alcohol or drug abuse, choose to ignore them.
 
I also take the view that our loved ones in the spirit world can sometimes be chosen to try and direct us to take better paths of life. How frustrating it must be for them as they witness us make the very same mistakes as they did. Although we look to the material goodies of life, angelic and spirit beings are more interested in the development of our soul. Therefore qualities such as compassion and understanding are more important to them.
 
That is not to say that, some ‘messages’ can’t have great meaning. I once gave a message to one young lady indicating that despite many setbacks in the past (about 7 of them), she would become pregnant and all would be well within the year. She looked at me with such emotion in her expression that I almost started crying myself. I saw her a little over 12 months later, with I’m glad to say, a wonderful healthy child.
It’s those moments that give so much meaning to my life and work.
