We have more encounters with the supernatural than many of us will admit. God and his agents are regularly intersecting with our lives in ways that validate his great personal concern for us. We just need to be more aware. We need to tune our spiritual radio antennae to pick up the activity all around us.
For example, angels. Have you ever encountered an angel? Justine Zins heard angels singing this week while in Germany.

Here is her account:

burnYesterday, our two teams here in Berlin worshiped together in the “burn room”. We all sat on the big, cozy rug in the middle of the big hall. Jordan started out sharing her heart for worship, and what God had put on her heart for our worship set during the event this upcoming weekend. Alana encouraged us to be still before the Lord, and listen for what we need to hear from Him, not what we want to hear. She began playing on her guitar and singing to Him. We all were standing, sitting, laying before Him communing with our Dad.

A song began to rise up out of me in that shadowed her voice. I was surprised because the melody and words were pouring out of me like they never have before. I sang over and over again. Then I quieted myself and just listened. Soon I began to hear this beautiful voice harmonizing to Alana’s song. It was a woman’s voice, and it was breathtaking harmony. I began looking around the room trying to find who was singing with her. Alana had just written the song, and I didn’t know that anyone knew the words yet. My eyes didn’t give up searching the mouths of the people in the room, but not one was singing, speaking, or praying aloud. I was baffled. I kept hearing it from the same corner of the room, but no one was there. I decided to just lay back and listen to the woman sing with Alana. It was so beautiful. It dawned on me then, it was an angel singing with her. I just laid there smiling, enjoying what I knew was God’s beautiful gift that morning.

Later that night we practiced the songs a few of us wrote. Alana began playing a new song she had written that day. I immediately remembered that morning and began to tell her what I had heard while she was singing. To my surprise, Jamie jumped up screaming, “I heard them too! I heard them too!” She told us how she had heard a man’s voice first, and then the woman joined him later, both accompanying Alana. She said it was the most beautiful harmony she had heard. She, too, stood up right away searching the room for the voices but couldn’t find them, for there was no one in the part of the room she was hearing them from… the same corner.

We both were practically jumping up and down at this point. I am sure God loved watching all of this unfold and our childlike excitement as we delighted in His creation. We turned to Alana and asked if she had heard them too. She told us that she does hear them sing with her when her heart is in a place of worship, and not performance. She just laughed and explained that she didn’t realize other people could hear them too!

The funny part is, when I thought back to the song that I kept singing – that just flowed right out, I remembered that I was singing, “the angels dance around us, and sing over us.”

Praise him, all his angels, praise him, all his heavenly hosts. Psalm 148:2

Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. Psalm 103:20

…And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says, “Let all God’s angels worship him.” Hebrews 1:6
