Do Angels Really Minister to Us? A Mother's Testimony of Miracles & Temple Work | LDS

Send us Fan MailDo angels really minister to us — and could they be the very people we've served in the temple? In this deeply moving episode of Thinning of the Veil, host Tia Smith sits down with Shelley Davis, a Latter-day Saint (LDS) mother from southern Utah, who shares the day her 17-year-old son Chase was in a near-fatal accident — and the angels, both seen and unseen, who she testifies surrounded her family.After the accident left Chase without a pulse for many minutes, a series of "earthly angels" — a nurse who happened to be riding nearby, first responders, and a remarkable trauma team — fought to save his life while Shelley pleaded for the heavens to open. Against every medical expectation, and after receiving dozens of units of blood, Chase survived with no brain damage and was home within days. Shelley shares how years of consistent temple worship, scripture study, and covenant-keeping had given her "eyes to see" God's hand in the crisis — and the distinct impression that some of the angels attending her son were ancestors she had done temple work for, a bond she describes as unbreakable.She also speaks tenderly about those whose miracles "look different" — honoring families whose loved ones weren't healed, and testifying that God's love is just as real when the outcome isn't the one we prayed for. It's a witness of priesthood power, the ministering of angels, and being spiritually prepared before the storm — echoing President Ezra Taft Benson's promise that angels will minister to us, and the parable of the ten virgins: keep oil in your lamp, because you never know when you'll need it.Q: Do angels minister to us today? (LDS)A: Shelley testifies that during her son's accident she felt the presence of angels — both "earthly angels" (the nurse, EMTs, and doctors who saved him) and unseen angels she believes were ancestors she had served in the temple.Q: Can the people we do temple work for become ministering angels?A: Shelley shares a distinct impression from the Holy Ghost that some of the angels attending her son were people she had done temple work for — describing an unbreakable bond forged when we take a name to the temple.Q: What does this story teach about being spiritually prepared?A: Both Shelley and Tia point to the parable of the ten virgins: years of consistent temple attendance, scripture study, and covenant-keeping had filled Shelley's "lamp" before the trial came, giving her peace and "eyes to see" in the hardest moment.A tender reminder that, as the Lord promised, His angels are "round about" us — to bear us up.▶️ WATCH & LISTEN🎬 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thinningoftheveil🌐 Website: https://www.thinningoftheveil.com🎧 Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/thinning-of-the-veil/id1753511394🟢 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/6jWCfMHkZXwnSwy2b98J4M🎵 Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/a0a45561-d4c2-46d3-af8d-a1e967a21a25📖 BOOKPatterns of Revelation — Spiritual Foundations for Hearing God's Voice: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BW36MG9B📱 CONNECTInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thinning.of.the.veilFacebook Group (Gathering of the Gatherers): https://www.facebook.com/groups/1429562078443774Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/thinningoftheveil💛 SUPPORT THE SHOWVenmo: https://account.venmo.com/u/thinningoftheveilPayPal: https://paypal.me/thinningoftheveil✉️ Have you had a thinning of the veil experience?
