An Event in the Sanctuary

Make up your own mind - Spirit phenomena or elaborate hoax?


Proof of the presence and ministry of the Angels.

On the 29th of November 2000. my son Andreu married Linda in the Krugersdorp Spiritual Church.

They had been living and working in England where Linda had an ancestry visa and Andrea was on a 2-year working visa. They now had a flat and an offer of very good jobs in the same company on condition that Andrea obtained the right working papers.

They wanted to marry in South Africa in the presence of the family, so I liaised with the British embassy obtaining all the information about the paper work. This was passed on to the children and they arrived armed with all they needed. They wanted to marry legally as soon as they arrived. They had planned an informal personal wedding ceremony at Goblin's cove for Sunday the 5th. Linda and her attendants dressed as fairies, wings and all. So they wanted the paper work sorted out by Thursday before the wedding. Thanks to Gail Harris who introduced us to Hanzel, we were able to schedule the legal ceremony at the Krugersdorp Spiritual Church on the Monday morning of their arrival.

During Hanzel's very beautiful and moving ceremony, I saw the couple surrounded by huge angel wings and bathed in a pinky-rosy colour (very difficult to describe). I also heard the wings of angels rustling in the roof. The Presence was tangible. When I told the children of my vision, they smiled, not really believing.

After the ceremony, I had a foreboding feeling about the paperwork So I phoned the British Embassy to confirm the documents and discovered that we needed full marriage certificate not the normal abridged one. And that it would take 6 weeks. Panic stations.

But I petitioned the Cosmic. The children had 2 weeks: jobs and a flat were immediately available and could not wait for 6 weeks. I sent out a call for Cosmic help.

I decided to go to Krugersdorp department of the Interior, as they had been speedy and efficient in all the dealing I had had with them in the past. We went to Amos at Marriages and asked him, with our hearts in our mouths, for the full marriage certificate. Yes, we could have it, but only the next day. We just stared at him.

Rather irritably he told us that we couldn't have it immediately as the abridged version was still being processed. We thanked him profusely and said that the next day would be just fine, thank you very much. The next day we collected it and on Thursday the children went to Pretoria and within a few hours had their passports stamped with the correct visa.

Then the photos from Linda's camera were developed - and we saw the very colour surrounding their heads (no angel wings though.) We also saw the fire of the angels on the ceiling. We were so excited that the vision had been verified. The children were especially awed, seeing that they had been so sceptical.

Now- 4 years later, I began working with David Goddard and bought his book "Sacred Magic of the Angels" I read the description of Michael and knew that the angel presiding over the ceremony had been he. Salmon pink is his colour and he is in charge of marriage. When I read further, I discovered that Raphael is in charge of documents, contracts and dealing with delays created by bureaucracy. His colour is yellow and golden light so it was he on the ceiling. So now we know why the paper work was sorted out so rapidly. The angels not only blessed the marriage but also speeded up the paper work so that all would be well for the couple. The angels, as messengers of the One, had answered our call and ministered to us.

It is with great gratitude that I share the photographs with Krugersdorp Spiritual Church.

Thank you creating a sacred space for angels to appear so tangibly and visually.

Thank you for creating the sacred space for my children to sanctify their union.

Thank you for creating a space sacred enough for the filming of the Work of the angels.

For my children (and others) this concrete proof created a faith and an awe in the workings of the One.
