This is part 2 of my encounter with Joe the Messenger. Joe came to me one day, after a long relationship with him. He was always there when I needed a spiritual uplifting. He told me,"Jim, My assignment here is almost done. God will be sending me elsewhere soon on another assignment." I told him that we needed to talk and he agreed with me.

First Meeting With Joe the Messenger 
Taken from the book, "The Voices Within Us" by Jim Stewart

I was to meet with Joe on a Monday afternoon. Wanting to tap into his great knowledge he possessed, I really looked forwrd to this meeting.

The Friday before our meeting, my messengers/angels came to me. I asked them about this man named Joe.I asked them because I knew if the answers they gave me correlated with those that Joe was to give me, for the first time in my life (some 50 years plus) that the voices that had been talking to me for all these years were real. This would bring a great relief to me.

I asked, "What can you tell me about Joe?" The angels responded by saying," Joe is a messenger and a healer. Jim, Joe sees us because he is with us from time to time. You will meet with him and he already knows. He has been to the other side and he is back now. He will bring you peace. Listen to him because he will teach you many things."

After this conversation with my angels, I started writing down questions I wanted to ask Joe.

The meeting with Joe went as follows. Joe greeted me with one of his electrifying hugs and I began to cry. I started telling him about my many encounters with some kind of divine intervention. I asked him if he thought these voices were real or not. He said," These voices are very much real." Joe then proceeded to answer questions I had not yet asked him ("And he already knows"). He told me about a Holy War he had seen that was far greater than any war anyone had ever witnessed. he told me of the great battle between the Godly angels and satan's army.("He has been to the other side, but is back now.") I asked Joe to explain Buddhism to me. He told me how Buddha was a spiritual guide that studied with Jesus Christ. He told me that Buddha directs people to the "Great I Am." He told me how Buddhism was based on compassion, unlike Christianity which is based on love. He told me the Buddhist looks at the whole pictureof life, while the Christian can only see the surface. Joe then said, "Jim, Look at the whole picture and you will see what God has planned for you."

I then talked to himabout the work of satan and how he appears to me. I told him how satan made his presence known by appearing as a cloud of black smoke. Joe said, "Jim, These things are real.Let me tell you, my friend, satan does not prey on the weak. Satan preys on the strong. He does this because, if he can topple one strong person, so goes that person's following. He takes down many more people this way. The weak are already under his control. Jim, satan is always working on you. Draw draw your strength from God. Through your gospel radio show (Brother Roy's Goodtime Gospel Hour) and your ministry, Satan finds you a very big threat. Be careful of satan's trickery, my friend." I asked him about exorcism. I asked him if I was wrong to evict satan from Maria's house. He looked and me and said, "No, Jim you were not wrong, we were with you. But satan will never forget. Even though he is weak, he is very strong. He is more powerful than you."

Joe then looked at me and asked for a ring that I kept in my pocket. How did he know about this ring? I then showed him this ring that's so very dear to me.When I gave the ring to him it was tarnished. He grasped the ring in his right hand and closed his eyes. He then opened them again and said, "This ring was once owned by an older woman. Then a younger woman gave you this ring.The younger woman is hurting." He closed his eyes again and seemed to go off into some kind of trance.I could see the energy building up in him. He held out his left arm and put his hand on my chest. Then the electricity shot from his right hand down his left arm and hand into me. It hit me and knocked me back two or three feet. Joe opened his eyes and smiled. Then he he opened his clinched hand and there was the ring, sparkling like I had never seen it sparkle before. There was no more tarnish and the gem stone was crystal clear.

As our meeting was coming to a close, Joe gave me another one of his electrifying hugs. This hug seemed to last forever (I wish it could have.) Then I looked at Joe and said, "You are a very blessed man." He stared right through me. Again I said, "Joe, You are a very blessed man." Again he looked right through me. Finally I said, "Joe, God has really blessed you, hasn't he?" He looked at me and said, "Jim, He has blessed us all. This meeting with you reconfirms the reason why God sent me here. You must remember one thing: Sometimes angels appear as messengers." I started to cry, because this was the very thing that the angels had told me;He is a mesenger and a healer. I felt so much love and warmth at that moment, that nothing could ever compare to it.

After our meeting, I realized that whatever I had been experiencing was real. The three prophicies came to pass. (You will ask him questions, but he already knows. He has been to the other side, but is back now. He is a messenger and a healer.)For the first time in my life I could say, "This is real, the voices are real."
