When I was a new Christian I signed up at my Church to fast and pray, there was a 24 hour prayer chain and I was to pray at 3 am. One particular morning I did not awake at my appointed time to pray.
Shortly after 3 am my doorbell started ringing , almost softly and at timed intervals it seemed, no one in the house but me was awakened.
I slipped quietly down the stairs and peeked out the window, we lived in the country and had a long driveway lit with a dusk to dawn light.
I did not see a car and thought it strange that someone would come to the back door in the dark instead of using the front door.
I waited and soon I saw a very tall man wearing what appeared to be a long overcoat and he appeared to have white gloves on. He just faded away as he walked out the driveway.
I started praying and prayed for my dear aunt who was in hospital very ill.
After my prayer time I returned to bed.
The following night I called my aunt, I told her about the incident and that I had prayed for her. She told me that approximately at the same time she had seen the death angel in her room standing at the door.
I told several friends about the man waking me to pray and three of them said they had a witness in their spirit that an angel had awakened me to pray for my aunt.
I believe it was an angel and I am left wondering what would have happened if I had answered the door.
