God Answers Prayers
A local CLS Attorney writes: "Wife, a Christian, employed me to represent her in a legal separation after numberous unsucessful attempts to resolve serious marital problems with her husband, an unbeliever. Family, friends, my client, and I had been praying for the salvation of her husband and for the marriage over a long period of time.
"Her husband was finally served with a complaint for separation. Earlier that day, my client's mother had prayed that the Lord would send hundreds of angels to protect the husband.
"That evening, husband and wife were in the bedroom talking. Suddenly, he noticed a mist surrounding his wife. He touched it, felt warmth when he did so, and told her that it was the Holy Spirit. He told his wife he could see many small angels in the room, dancing. The wife did not see anything and at first did not believe it. But when one of their daughters came into the room and saw precisely what the husband had seen, the wife knew it was from the Lord. The husband wept, prayed and received the Loard. The husband was saved and their marriage was saved as well."
