I Hear Angles Singing

January 28, 2003

Flight crew-I’m safe now I Hear Angels Singing

I was flying with a flight attendant named Janet, who recently ended an abusive marriage, which resulted in her uneasy, nervous manner. She constantly walked in fear and desired to be freed from her past. She had desires to be loved and cherished, not harmed. When she spoke, you could hear the anxiety and tension in her voice. She longed to feel safe. She was a beautiful, long dark haired, blue-eyed woman of 29 years of age. She had a beautiful son she adored and was very protective of.

During the flight I was reading Isaiah 28:24-29, “Does the plowman keep plowing all day to sow? Does he keep turning his soil and breaking the clods? When he has leveled its surface, Does he not sow the black cumin And scatter the cummin, Plant the wheat in rows, The barley in the appointed place, And the spelt in its place?

26 For He instructs him in right judgment, His God teaches him.27 For the black cummin is not threshed with a threshing sledge, Nor is a cartwheel rolled over the cummin; But the black cummin is beaten out with a stick, And the cummin with a rod. 28 Bread flour must be ground; Therefore he does not thresh it forever, Break it with his cartwheel, Or crush it with his horsemen.29 This also comes from the LORD of hosts, Who is wonderful in counsel and excellent in guidance.”

This scripture refers to God as the plowman who goes first to the soil (soul) to loosen it. The different grain and herbs are different seeds for this unique person. For Janet God used her divorce to get her attention, this was the seed which would loose her soil (soul). I do believe God can and will use anything to get our hearts to look to Him. Faith, trust, and confidence are synonymous terms. He who confidently looks up to the Lord and commits everything to Him, is lifted above all that might otherwise cause distress or anxiety. Perfect peace, rest of heart and mind, freedom from worry and anxiety, are found only as we learn to commit all our ways to the Lord and trust Him implicitly to take care of us. God uses people like Janet to remind me I have this peace with God through the blood of the cross. “Therefore, having been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ” Romans 5:1

I longed for her to know this peace. So I began praying God would chase her heart and capture it. Janet knew, along with Susan, the other flight attendant we were flying with, that I was a Christian by all the rumors in the flight lounge (which I loved). Susan had not walked with God for approximately eight years, and was showing great attentiveness when Janet began asking questions about the Lord and relationships; it seemed to be splashing over to Susan. I spent the first two days of our three-day trip sharing and giving my testimony to Janet. And Janet had question after question.

The next week Janet came to work with a new Bible. Apparently her neighbor next door has been witnessing to her, and gave her a Bible as a gift while she was home during the week. She thought it was interesting how all of a sudden Christians were coming out of the woodwork sharing Jesus’ love with her.

We were on a long 3-hour flight from Kansas City to Los Angeles. The plane had a total of only 30 people on board, thus after we served everyone, we three flight attendants went to the back of the plane. Before making my way to the back of the plane, I noticed an older gentleman sitting in the front row. There was something special about him. I just couldn’t put my finger on it.

In the back of the plane, the conversation started up again, but this time it was Susan speaking to Janet about the Lord. She was witnessing to her. Wow, a spark seemed to have been lit. Then Janet moved to the back row to sit and read her new Bible, Susan sat across from her, and I sat in the row in front of Janet.

Janet started reading, and asked me why nothing seemed to make sense to her. “What does it mean?”
I looked over the seat and said, “I think you’re putting the cart before the horse.”

“Why?

“Because He is not in you, the Holy Spirit is not in you to teach you what it says, nor can it direct you. First you must ask God to forgive you of your sins, and then accept Jesus as the Son of God into your heart. And believe He is the Son of God, who died for your sins, who has risen and is with the Father. Ask Him to fill you with His Spirit, and give Him your heart and your life. Then you may walk in His ways and not in your own any longer.” Then the Bible will come alive to you and you will understand. It will guide and direct you. It has all the answers. This is God’s Word. It is Jesus.

Janet asked, “All I have to do to have Jesus is to pray?” “YES!”

I told her I have the prayer on a CD, and asked her if she would like to listen to it. I explained to her if you feel a tug on your heart, say the prayer, but if you don’t want to, don’t, don’t feel pushed. Jesus wants you only if you want Him. Janet mentioned she would like to hear the prayer, so I popped it in my CD player, and gave her the earpieces to listen. I turned around and went back to reading.

After the CD had finished, she came and sat next to me, her eyes full of sweet tears, “I prayed the prayer, and I asked Jesus into my heart, I now have Jesus!”

We hugged and hugged. I exclaimed, “Now you have eternal life!” She asked if she would go up in the rapture. “Yes! “And, I explained, “If this plane went down right now you would go be with Him. Yesterday -no, today -yes!”

I told her I knew God was chasing after her heart. She asked how I knew, and I explained it was all the seeds from people being sent to her, and Jesus was crazy in love with His daughter!

“I feel safe, I feel like I’m going to be ok now, I feel peace and I can’t explain it.” “That’s God!”

Then…the older gentleman in the front row, walked all the way to the back of the plane to use the restroom. He stopped in front of us in the aisle and exclaimed, “What’s going on back here? I hear angels singing!”

It turned out he was an evangelist. How beautiful God is to let us know the angels were singing for Janet! How wonderful our King is. Thank you Jesus for Janet. She is Yours.

A month later I bumped into Janet in the hallway as I headed toward the flight attendant lounge. She shared how she was just baptized and going to a Bible study, and she is His. I was so overwhelmed! Jesus wanted her and Jesus captured her!

Susan the other flight attendant was so moved by it all, she went back to church; God had sparked a new flame in her heart. She rededicated her life to Jesus, and I am only sure the angels were singing.
