Angels - Testimony Of Angel At Redsucker Lake
Acts 27:23

“For there stood by me this night the angel of God,

Whose I am and Whom I serve, saying, fear not...” (Acts 27:23) -ST. PAUL

Kathryn Harper was ‘hanging out the wash’ on a summer day in 1977. A loud overhead noise caused her to scan the sky for a jet-plane!

What she saw startled her. Directly above her was a whirlwind heading straight down. As Kathryn started running toward the house, an angel of God stood before her! He was shining and transparent. And he appeared to be surrounded by clouds!

The heavenly messenger addressed Kathryn Harper thusly: “Jesus is coming soon. Tell everyone to repent of their sins. Those who are left behind will suffer terribly and go through a hard time”!

As suddenly as he had appeared, God’s angel ascended in a whirlwind of light! And Kathryn Harper fell to the ground, overcome by the mighty power of God!

How long she was on the ground is unsure, but when her daughter Eileen dropped in to visit, she was lying face - down, unable to get up!

Eileen thought her mother had fainted, but observed her lips moving in prayer. When Eileen asked, “What happened? Are you alright?” her mother whispered, “I have seen an angel”!

A neighbor assisted Eileen in dragging her inside and placing her on a bed! After her husband, Pastor Alan B. Harper and others prayed for her, Eileen was able to share what she had seen and heard!

A burden to fast and pray came upon Kathryn, which she did for three days. Word spread and people came from far and wide to hear her amazing testimony! And a revival of God’s grace swept across the area! Let us examine the Angel’s message!

No. 1: JESUS IS COMING SOON!

This is entirely in keeping with the Bible! Jesus promised: “And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto Myself; that where I am, there ye may be also”. (John 14:3)

At the time of His ascension, two angels prophesied that Jesus would return. “...This same Jesus, Which is taken up from you into Heaven shall so come in like manner as ye have seen Him go into Heaven”. (Acts 1:9-11)

The Bible says: “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord; And He shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you.” (Acts 3:19-21)

And St. Paul wrote: “For the Lord Himself shall descend from Heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

“Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up (harpazo, gr.-snatched up) together with them in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.” (1 Thess. 4:13-18)

No. 2: TELL EVERYONE TO REPENT OF THEIR SINS

To repent means to change, to turn around and walk a different path. And the word ‘sin’ means ‘to miss the mark’, disobey, rebel and violate the laws of God!

Jesus said, “Repent (change your ways) or you will all likewise perish”. (Luke 13:3)

The Bible says, “Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the Lord, and He will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon”. (Isaiah 55:7)

Repentance means having “godly sorrow for sin” and a turning from evil!

No. 3: THOSE LEFT BEHIND WILL SUFFER TERRIBLY AND GO THROUGH A HARD TIME!

This refers to the “great tribulation period”, which will occur after Jesus has returned to rapture His Church!

The Bible says: “For then shall be great tribulation, such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, no, nor ever shall be”. (Matt. 24:21) “And in those days shall men seek death, and not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from him”. (Rev. 9:6)

During the great tribulation, men like Dr. Jack Kevorkian (euthanasia and doctor-assisted suicide advocates) will be powerless to practice their craft!

Jesus warned of the dreadful times which mankind will soon face, when the Antichrist will rule with a vengeance, and God will send His plagues upon the earth!

“And I beheld when He had opened the sixth seal, and lo, the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood: And the stars fell from Heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind.

“And the heaven departed a scroll when it is rolled together; and every mountain and island is moved out of their places.

“And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the chief captains, and the mighty men, and every bondman, and every free man, hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;

“And said to the mountains and the rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the face of Him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

“For the great day of His wrath is come; and who shall be able to stand?” (Rev. 6:12-17)

May we not neglect Jesus’ warning, as well as the ‘angel of God’, who visited a little Indian village in the backwoods of northern Manitoba more than twenty-five years ago!

Angels of God are sent to minister to those who are heirs of eternal life. They are often deployed by God to bring warning of coming judgment upon a corrupted and perverse society!

Fred Harper - former chief of Red Sucker Lake - recalls with great solemnity the visit of ‘God’s Angel’, and the effect it had on his mother and their entire family!

Glowingly, Pastor Alan B. Harper shares the testimony of his son, Elijah, who was healed when he and Bishop Alex Beardy - together with their respective churches - prayed during a special telephone conversation. And Elijah Harper returned to a living faith in Jesus Christ!

Calling his father from British Columbia shortly thereafter, Elijah Harper MP excitedly exclaimed, “I’ve just gotten baptized. I had to do it, Dad. It was the Lord Who healed me”!

On his calling card, Pastor Alan B. Harper has printed - in bold capitals - these words: ‘JESUS CHRIST THE SAME YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER’ - Heb. 13:8.

What more can I say? Hallelujah!
