Hello! Yesterday I read a powerful story from Billy Graham’s book, “Angels: God’s Secret Agents.” Immediately I thought about you. You will be inspired, especially when it comes to praying for our military.
“In the early days of World War II, Britain’s air force saved it from invasion and defeat.
In a celebration held months after the war…the Air Chief Marshall Lord Hugh Dowding…recounted the story of his legendary conflict where his pitifully small complement of men rarely slept, and their planes never stopped flying. He told about airmen on a mission who, having been hit, were either incapacitated or dead. Yet their planes kept flying and fighting; in fact, on occasion pilots in other planes would see a figure still operating the controls. What was the explanation? The Air Chief Marshall said he believed angels had actually flown some of the planes whose pilots sat dead in their cockpits.”
The battles in Iraq and Afghanistan have different dynamics but the need for angels are still the same. Your prayers do enlist God’s help and His helpers from heaven.
Can you and I step on the gas pedal in prayer?
Blessings, peace, and wisdom POURED upon you!
In His love and mine,
Kathleen Dillard

thank you for unending work and most of all prayers
Yes,too. My son knows of God’s Power in protecting him and his unit in their road clearing duties in Afghanistan. Several times, my son has mentioned knowing God’s protection while on duty.
Yes! Send warrior angels to guide, protect, and defend the troops in Afghanistan! Thank you Greta for the good report! It is a blessing to know that the prayers are keeping these soldiers safe.
In His Mighty Name,
Terry
Our prayers are effective in Afghanistan! Our grandson has just returned and has felt the prayers of the people and seen AED’s not explode when they should have, friends not killed when caught in firefights, and bullets miraculously missing the mark. Enemy fire on a friend left an outline of his body on the wall behind him. Not a bullet touched him! What a wonderful God. I give Him all praise! Your website has been for me a wonderful directive on how to pray.
Greta
Thank you for your inspiring and encouraging message.
God bless you!

What a blessing, Kathleen! Won’t we be amazed one day when our Lord reveals to us how many times angels on special assignment stood between us and injury or death. Truly our God is a Shield and Buckler, and He neither slumbers nor sleeps. May you and the girls be surrounded with God’s shield of love today and everyday!
Love and blessings,
Carol
Greetings to you,Kathleen. My friend was just telling me about this book of Billy Graham’s that you have mentioned, so I must admit that your message is confirmation of the roll that angels are still playing in our lives. I do believe that the Lord has given us guardian angels and that all we need to do is ask in Jesus’ mighty name for their protection and it will be granted. The Lord will keep all of His children safe until He calls for them. May His angels protect you and yours!
Kathleen, thank you for sharing this inspiring story about angels. I have been helped by angels when I was in a dangerous and tough situation while doing volunteer mission work several years ago.We need to keep on declaring by faith that our Father God’s ministering angels are protecting our troops in Afghanistan and Iraq.They are powerful agents that build and sustain people who are serving the needy people on those areas of the world for His glory and honor. More blessings and wisdom for you, Jessica and Julia in the mighty name of our Lord and Savior Jesus as His Holy Spirit empowers each of you for His name’s sake.
God Bless you Kathleen. Thank you for all you do (and continue, herocially, after what you’ve been through). The impact you are having on this world will not truly be known until we get home, and then I, for one, will be proud and privileged to be able to say I participated. I pray an anointing on you and your family that you will not be able to contain……….may your cup overflow………
Thank you for that story about angels. I have been getting overwhelmed with prays that sometimes just seems to go unanswered. Praying has become a chore and I find myself avoiding. I needed this reminder that angels are,Indeed, helpers from heaven. Our prayers are powerful no matter what we feel.I needed a boost. Thanks for the lift.
Thank you, I am inspired. Sometimes I forget that God is always at work and that includes “missions” by His angels or secret agents. I will step on the gas pedal in prayer!
Wow! That was certainly a timely message for me. Thank you Kathleen. God’s highest and best to you.
I certainly believe in angels after I saw one at my Father’s bedside about 3 hours before he passed on to Heaven last year. The angel said to me that “In death there is life.” What comfort that was to me! The angels wings were cupped over my Father in a “sheltering and protecting” position. What an experience! I send forth angels to protect and comfort you, Kathleen, as you serve our Lord during your time left on this earth. May results from your perseverance in ministry bring a big smile to the face of God, and many jewels to your crown that you will lay before His feet. Amen!
Thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve our military and the Iraqi and Afghanistan people through your ministry. I will continue to pray for them.
May God bless you and your family!

Thanks, Kathleen, for your encouraging words!!! Angels DO watch over us so many times and a good example for me recently was just last Friday when a lady ran a red light, but I was able…with God’s help… to stop my Jeep just in time to avoid hitting her at a busy intersection. I am with the Afghan and Iraq Prayer Patrol and pray lots!!! GOD BLESS you and your daughters!!!
Blessings,
Marilyn
Thank you Kathleen for reminding me of this very special book. It is so inspirational and reassuring. I pray daily for our troops and know the Lord did have angels watching over, protecting, and helping my son and his troops. My son told me about experiences he and others witnessed during times they were under attack and the times they were “blown up” that cannot have any other explanation! Sure he has scars and still has shrapnel inside him and gets headaches from the numerous concussions from explosions, but he made it back home alive (all but two did), in one piece, fully functional, and forever changed (in many good ways). One of the first things he did when he returned from his last deployment was had a tattoo of Saint Michael stomping Satan put on his arm. It is big, and it is awesome! These guys are my HEROES! God Bless you, Kathleen. I think of you often and pray for you and your children.
Hello Kathleen, How are you and the girls? Your words are always so timely
on either FB or here. Vin and I were just talking about Angels this morning! We’re at Sun Valley until mid-Sept….and it’s record breaking
temps….it feels like India! May the Lord continue to bless you with His
presence and hold you even more tightly at this time of adjustment as you
find your new norm……a group hug to you and the girls from us. xo, Ann
Good morning Kathleen,
As I sit in this early morning, and just read Psalms 7, I think of how our frail bodies are, but yet so strong. The strength within us is the Power of the Holy Spirit, and it is His mighty strength that sees us through.
I do believe that God’s angels surround each one of us. Thank you so much for your inlightment, and gentle spirit that I recognize within.
God continue to comfort, bless, and draw you ever so close to Him.
See you in heaven,
Sandy
Thank you Greta for your powerful testimony about your grandson! This inspires all of us to keep the prayer fires burning.
“Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.”Heb.4:16
Fresh grace to you, as you seek His face!
