later the same scenario was playing itself out in front of her for real:
A car was now doing exactly what I had seen in my vision, except this time I was ready! I realized that my angels had given me notice so that I could be prepared, and because I had seen what was about to happen, I managed to brake in plenty of time and move out of the way safely. I really felt that without the forewarning I would have been involved in a serious accident.
Elizabeth remembered to thank her angels again for the warning.
This wasn’t the only close angelic encounter that she had in the car:
A few months later I was driving home from work. It was a sunny afternoon and I was taking my time, enjoying the view around me. I realized I was probably going a bit too slowly for the other drivers and was just about to speed up when I heard a loud ‘No!’ in my head. Sure enough, a white van was overtaking on a bend and I was able to avert the accident! The angels had helped me once again!
Elizabeth’s experiences weren’t just simple feelings. In the first experience she actually saw a vision and in the second she heard a physical voice, something that isn’t so easy to ignore. She firmly believes that the voice was sent to help her and that it was probably the same energy that had protected her during her earlier experience.
She says, ‘If I had been driving at the correct speed, I might not be here today, so I thanked my angels again!’
As well as these angelic encounters, Elizabeth has had other magical experiences:
My brother Arthur passed away when I was 12 and he came to me in a vision on that very night to say his goodbyes. I will never forget that.
Then, when my dad passed away four years ago, I was lucky to be with him as he crossed over. He told me that his mother and sister (who had passed years before), had come to collect him. I watched the joy on Dad’s face. It was overwhelming.
Seeing a dying person being collected is a familiar experience to many of those who are lucky enough to be with their loved ones when their time comes.
Elizabeth explained, ‘Even though it was such a sad occasion, there was also tremendous joy.’
There are more stories like this later in the book. In the meantime, remember to ask your own guardian angel to be with you when you drive. I remember an advert that was on TV once for a well-known brand of car. It showed angels, complete with wings, sitting in the car or flying with people as they were driving around. Of course this particular car was supposed to be so safe that the owner didn’t need her angel with her whilst she drove.
I guess I will keep asking my own angel to be with me just in case!
Nowhere Left to Go
Gillian once had an amazing experience in the car. She calls it ‘the one thing my mum and I will never be able to forget—or explain’.
At the time Gillian was living in Germany and on this particular day she was travelling with her mother and a friend to Bergen-Belsen, where the young Jewish diarist Anne Frank died.
Gillian explains:
I was driving and my friend was in the front and my mum was sitting behind me. I was driving along the autobahn at around 110 miles an hour. In Germany they drive their cars very fast compared to many other parts of the world.
Gillian was very comfortable with the speed, however, and there seemed no obvious danger at the time. Gillian’s was the lead car:
There were only two lanes of traffic. I was nearly level with the car in the other lane when all of a sudden a car came from nowhere and went to overtake me! There was no room for her to go past and I should have hit the other car right in the middle.
Gillian remembers swearing very loudly in her head and thinking, ‘That driver has just killed me!’ There seemed no safe outcome for the drivers around either and in that fraction of a second, Gillian felt her time was up.
I put the brakes on, even though at the time I thought it was pointless. I couldn’t imagine how it would be able to help. However, instead of hitting the other car, as I’d felt was inevitable, we were now in the middle lane and cars were overtaking us and looking at us to see if we were alright. I had no idea how we had got there or what had happened. It’s as if time had slowed down somehow. I looked in front of me and spotted the other driver going over a hill—miles in front of us.
All three drivers were shaken up by what had just happened. As Gillian said,
My mum just told me to pull over at the next exit, which I did. We both said, ‘Did you see that?’ My friend who was sitting in the front had not seen anything and she thought I was over-reacting. It was as if she had been protected from the anxiety of what we had just experienced. Perhaps she had been asleep or something, because she had seemed to be slumped in the front, as if someone, or something, had just switched her off. In fact I think if she had been aware, we would have been killed, because she would have certainly tried to grab the wheel of the car.
Although Gillian is still not completely sure what happened, she said:
One thing is for sure—we were not meant to die that day. The whole event has affected my life so much. Since that time, I have become a healer and my belief in angels has become a lot stronger.
Gillian’s story has much in common with other stories I have received over the years. People often know that something dramatic has happened to them, but find it hard to explain what or how it could have occurred. Cars are moved, lifted and even change direction without any explanation. Sometimes time seems to stand still and at other times it appears to be missing entirely, even if only for a few seconds. Are angels standing guard, waiting to lift us out of danger? I believe they are.
Safe in the Fog—the Angel Satellite Navigation System
This next story comes from Sheena, who has a real mystery to share with us. Her angels were on hand to help a young girl out of clear danger on the roads. Was her angel working like a modern-day satellite navigation system to guide her in her car? Let’s look at her story.
Sheena told me about two incidents. She said:
The first incident happened when I was about 18 years old. I had recently started a new job and the drive to work was a little complicated. I had to drive down a series of country lanes and I wasn’t very familiar with them at all.
Sheena was nervous on her drive to work, so when evening came around and she had to drive back again she was already anxious:
On the way home it became very foggy. It was hopeless and I simply didn’t have a clue where I was going. I remember just watching the white line along the side of the road to make sure I was even staying on the road. It would have been very easy to take a wrong turn, hit another car or just to end up upside down in a ditch.
Sheena was at her wits’ end, but then, in no time at all, she found herself in a familiar town. It was well lit and Sheena recognized it. What a relief! At least now she knew she would be able to find her way home. But strangely the town was nowhere near where she had thought she was driving and she had absolutely no idea how on earth she had got there! Even without the fog, she says she would never have managed to get herself to this town travelling the route she had—or thought she had!
Sheena was bemused, but the rest of the journey went without incident and she soon found herself safely at home.
Her parents had been worried and were waiting up for her when she got home. They too were totally bemused by the route she must have taken:
My dad got the map out to see how I got to the town because he knows his way around so well. But he couldn’t make any sense of it and said the only way would have been if I had cut through a field. He had no idea how I had driven along country lanes and found my way there.
The whole thing was a complete mystery. Even after all this time Sheena still remembers
