Last night, I had trouble sleeping. I finally dozed off and a noise woke me up. I opened my eyes and thought I saw an angel with a sword next to my bed. I blinked a couple of times and did not see it anymore. Is seeing an angel even a possibility or was it because I needed sleep and was woozy from medication? What do you think? Is it crazy? Have you ever seen an angel?

Your guardian angel maybe ? I think that nothing is impossible.

All I know is that it was a male and he had his sword drawn like the one in the photo. He did not say anything and it did not scare me.

You never know what can happen these days. Life is full of surprises. I did not know about all male angels.

May be you have seen an Angel. May be I also saw my Guardian Angel, without a sword in his hand.

@akalinus It was a white bright figure, impossible to say if it was a male or a female. It was in the middle of the road, my husband stopped the car when we saw this "figure". We both went out of the car to check, we saw no one around. We went back to the car and continued our trip. A couple of miles after we stopped a horrible accidents just happened. If wed did not stop, we would have been in the accident.

Whoa, that's pretty interesting! Could it have really been an angel? Could it have been the lack of sleep? Could it have been the medication? It's all possible! Did it scare you, or did you feel a sense of peace?

I just closed my eyes and went back to sleep. But, I remembered it when I woke up. I imagine it was a crazy dream but don't know for sure.

@akalinus Usually a person can "sense" or "feel" someone or something else in the room with them. If you didn't get that feeling, I'm wondering if that meant it was a dream?

I believe it is possible you saw an angel. The Bible does say we have angels surrounding us at all times.

@akalinus They're supernatural for a reason. They're protecting us. You wouldn't want to see the forces of evil they battle to keep you safe. It's best this way.

@Nana49 This was not scary but kind of comforting. I am scared of the people roaming around the neighborhood at night. I live alone also. My son was here for a few years but he has moved on now.

As far as I understand things, it was not an angel from God. As to what it was, it's anybody's guess.

@akalinus I know they are protecting us all of us I have felt it more than once. Someone else I know was pulled out of a tricky situation by the hand twice in his lifetime. He felt the hand and I believe him as he is very pragmatic and finds it hard to believe in that kind of thing.

@akalinus Goodness me that was a very close one too thank goodness they rescued you all. The person I know who was rescued as well was telling me that he heard the name Archangel Gabriel and its perhaps the only one he does believe in there was no one there when he felt the hand lift him up and pull him out of the predicament he nearly drowned twice. Once we were in very foggy weather and I happened to look out of the car window and said we are right on the edge of the cliff road pull over and he listened to me and that was quite a near miss too. The roads were pretty awful here then and no safety barriers and the road we were on treacherous in that kind of weather. Something short of a miracle we got out of it too.

I've not seen an angel, but in the bible I think they are soldiers or messengers of God...I guess that's what trouble in sleeping could have caused you...

The existence of angels as beings in the service of GOD is real according to the Biblical Scriptures, and it also demonstrates the existence of demonic spirits in the service of Satan. But it is also true that when people are very tired, they need to sleep, they are dizzy from the effects of medication, they can have visions or confused dreams. What you saw or thought you saw, God knows.

God does know. I know there are demonic spirits and we do battle with them in our minds and hearts. The Devil has been unloosed on the world. You can see the results on any newscast. There is a struggle between good and evil played out in every possible scenario. I just know I woke up and saw the figure and then he was gone. I felt peaceful and protected to have him standing there with his sword drawn.

@akalinus Lastly, be strong in the Lord, and in the strength of his power. Take up God's instruments of war, so that you may be able to keep your position against all the deceits of the Evil One. For our fight is not against flesh and blood, but against authorities and powers, against the world-rulers of this dark night, against the spirits of evil in the heavens. (Ephesians 6:10-12)

Not crazy. They do exist. Mine was like any person you might meet. But it could be a picture as well that stays in our "eye memory" which is fine too because it means you have been thinking of them. God bless the good angels.

When I was a child I would see blue angels who would sit at the edge of my bed with me. =) I would talk to them, even though they didn't talk much. At the time my parents thought it was my imagination going wild-then years later they read an article about many children seeing blue angels. Nothing is impossible and the Bible talks about angels-I believe in them 100%. The word is truth.

@akalinus Really? I just did a quick search and found this. =) Blue – Seeing a blue angel represents power, protection, faith, strength, and courage. And I found that right here-- Glad I looked it up for myself because I learned what it truly meant and it's amazing!!
Not all angels wear white, the color they are seen in may be their way of sending messages to you. Read this to discover the meaning of angel colors.

Blue Angels? I never heard of them. I remember someone in our church long ago said they saw little brown demons dancing on her child's bed. But blue angels is new to me and I never saw one. I can not find any info on the internet search, only the Blue Angels airplane people.

Can't really tell, there are still a lot of things that cannot be explained by normal minds it can be true that you really saw an angel or you must be dreaming. Do you believe we have a guardian angel?

I think maybe I do. I have done a lot of stupid things and I think I was protected from my foolishment. Plus there were two times that my life was saved and it could only have been God or one of his angels.
