The
Veil
In his engrossing and enlightening
debut, Blake Healy shares the story of his unusual gift.
Having been born with
the ability to see angels and demons as regularly and clearly as anything else
in waking life, his journey has been one of unique perspective and unique
challenge.
It is an amazingly clear view into the realm of the spirit, as well
as a true testamant to the power of living a life in pursuit of deeper
relationship with God. "I was at a party earlier today. I don’t really
like parties. I was sitting on a couch, doing my best to look like I was
enjoying myself, passing the time by observing my fellow attendees.
Situations
like these can get complicated. There were about three-dozen people mingling
about, each with a personal angel. Each of those angels was interceding for,
protecting, or otherwise blessing their person in their own unique fashion.
Some were dancing around the room and worshiping; others were massaging the shoulders
of their people, whispering words of encouragement in their ear; while some
simply stood, patiently listening to the myriad layers of conversation.
Each
person in the room was surrounded by, what I call, their spiritual ecosystem.
It’s usually a combination of giftings, thoughts, and God’s presence - the
spiritual surroundings that are cultivated by physical and mental life.
Some
looked like they were cloaked in a thick blanket of warm light, crowns on their
heads and swords in their hands. One guy I knew on the far side of the room was
covered head to toe in dense green foliage, with a ring of flowing water
swirling around his head.
It seemed strange, until I remembered that he spent
hours playing worship music on his guitar alone in his room. That kind of
worship always attracts life. The air was buzzing with thoughts. Insecurities
darted through the air like shadowy mice looking for a hole to hide in.
THe general buzz of excitement and joy was hovering over the crowd like calm
slow-motion fireworks. I could see a few scattered worries hanging over a few
people’s heads - swelling dollar bill signs and abstract images of unfamiliar
relatives, each representing the telltale signs of money woes and family
trouble, respectively.
A girl was wandering through the crowd with a giant
smoky heart following close behind, every ignored glance and awkward greeting
chipping away at its cheery form
There were a fair number of demons weaving
their way through the crowd, about six, which is pretty normal for a crowd of
this size. They snatched at the insecure thoughts, trying to get a grip on the
fears that would other-wise be easily overcome or ignored.
One had latched
itself on a middle-aged man’s back, digging at the bald part of his head with
long clawed fingers. It was probably trying to increase the discomfort he must
have felt from being in a group of mostly younger people. As you can see, it
doesn’t take much for this to get very complicated, not to mention crowded.
Add
in the angels that were just hanging around the room unattached to anyone in
particular, the liquid gold presence of God that was sweeping through the room
in time with the mu-sic, the prophetic words falling from heaven for people in
the room, and all the various blessings and curses floating through people’s
conversations; and you can imagine how aimless this would be without the Holy
Spirit as a guide."
