Saved by Supernatural Guardians | Glory Waves
In our Everyday Angels workshops, participants meet with Jesus during our visionary activations, and He likes to introduce them to their guardian angels. People then come forward to share powerful testimonies of what the Lord of Hosts and His heavenly hosts showed them. Many times, they are moved to tears because they see “flashbacks” from their lives of when angels were protecting them, even though they weren’t aware of it at the time, and often even before they had put their faith in Christ.
