Angels On Assignment By Charles and Frances Hunter, as told by Roland Buck (1979) TABLE OF CONTENTS: Who Is Roland Buck? A Word From the Wife of Roland Buck Chapter 1 » Encounter Possibly the questions most often asked are ... "How did it happen that God chose you?" "Was it through deep hunger on your part?" "Was it through prayer and fasting?" I would honestly have to say ... "I don't know! I fall short in all of these areas!" Chapter 2 » Good News For You and Your Family About three o'clock in the morning, I was abruptly awakened when someone grasped my arms and sat me right up in bed! Do you know ... that if even one member of your family is living for God, each individual member is highly favored? That a great host of angels has been assigned to bring these highly favored people to God? They have orders to listen to no objections, but to hasten individuals to a point of choice? If a person chooses the wrong way, the angels will begin the cycle all over again? Chapter 3 » Ministry of Angels The light flipped on and I saw what appeared to be two of the largest men I had ever seen! Strong currents of radiation pulsated from them. I started to fall, but was steadied by the strong hand of these seven­foot­plus beings. IT SOUNDED LIKE HE SAID, "I AM GABRIEL," but it couldn't be ... he has not been seen for centuries. Am I really seeing things or IS HE REALLY HERE ... IN MY HOME? Chapter 4 » My Visit to the Throne Room The chain of strange happenings in my life date back to January 21, 1977, when I became God's guest. I discovered he wants to be treated like a friend. His words to me ... "Relax, I already know you," have changed my life. When he said, "I don't record failure," he opened a door of hope for all mankind. Chapter 5 » Sequel to the Throne Room Would you say ... Thirty correct predictions out of one hundred is phenomenal? ... How about 120 out of 120? ... God never misses. That is why you can rely wholly on him. ... God told me the Pope has no more influence with him than the least of his saints, and has no greater privileges, but because his influence with man is great, his choice is God's concern. Therefore, in order to help in the restoration of his fragmented body, God had chosen a man named Karol Wojtyla of Poland. Date of prediction: January 21, 1977 ... Date of fulfillment: October 16, 1978, Pope John Paul II. Chapter 6 » God's Priorities Queenie, that's my dog ... a purebred Great Dane ... quietly "woofed" as she pressed her wet nose against my face. The time was 2 AM. I knew what was up by now. This is the way she rouses me when she becomes aware that angelic visitors are in the house. ... Filled again with awe and wonder, I listened as Gabriel stressed seven things of utmost importance to God. Priorities that the world must hear ... Chapter 7 » He Tasted Death One time as the angels ministered to me, God allowed me to see Jesus as the sacrificed lamb ... My heart broke ... As this panorama of truth passed before me, I saw him as the lamb lying there in death. ... Then I saw the little lamb slowly start to rise, and as it rose up, it became a mighty ram with seven horns upon its head and it had seven eyes ... "You have seen him die as the lamb, now see him as he arose the great conqueror, with complete power in heaven and earth given to him." 1 Chapter 8 » You Are Covered (Atonement) I sat glued to my chair ... unable to move ... The same divine radiance which glowed from Moses' face after forty days with God, multiplied a hundred times from an eternity in God's presence, streamed from Gabriel's being and literally engulfed me ... His word and his touch brought back my strength. I cried ... and you, too, will cry as you discover the beauty of this message he brought directly from God's big heart! Chapter 9 » God's Warning Signals It happened in broad daylight the Saturday before Christmas ... The door of my church office opened and once again God's highest angel had come with a special word from God ... Remember, if you feel numb and cold inside and it's a weight and a burden for you to think, "Here's another week and I have to go to church. I don't want to fail God, but it's a chore; there is no excitement in my spiritual life," WATCH OUT! Chapter 10 » When God Says Thanks! His eyes were like deep, glowing embers, his voice resonant and clear … this giant angel … as he told me about "The Believer's Judgment." My heart leaped when I heard him say, "THE BELIEVER'S JUDGMENT IS NOT A DARK NIGHT THROUGH WHICH HE MUST PASS BEFORE HE BREAKS OUT INTO GOD'S ETERNAL DAY, BUT A DAY IN WHICH GOD HAS CHOSEN TO SAY THANKS TO HIS PEOPLE." Chapter 11 » Mission Philippines About four in the morning, the light came on in my room, and I opened my eyes ... There were two cots in the room. I was sleeping in one, and when I looked over at the empty one, I saw Gabriel sitting there. "How did you find me here?" "We didn't have any trouble finding you, because we arranged for you to be here!" Gabriel replied. Chapter 12 » Michael and His Angels I heard loud noises downstairs very early one Monday morning ... I will never forget the sight in my living room as I went to investigate ... Angelic warfare was being directed from my home as the Command post ... this attack was serious enough for Michael, the leader of all warring angels, to appear on the scene. (Additional angel material added in this chapter) Chapter 13 » Angels On Assignment What did angels do between those times of recorded appearances ... did they rest ... or what happened to them? "We are busy all the time scattering God's enemies and putting the pieces of his plan together ... I commanded a heavenly army with orders from God to push the walls of Jericho into the ground ... and we did!" That's what Chrioni, the great warring angel, told me ... and more! Chapter 14 » He is Coming Again! As I think of the return of Jesus, I remember what Gabriel said, "There has never been such excitement and activity in the courts of heaven since Jesus came the first time, as there is right now!" Chapter 15 » In Closing ­ Charles & Frances Hunter Pastor Buck looked down. Gabriel's feet were about four inches off the floor! ... Then he looked at Cyprion's feet, and they were about eighteen inches off the floor. ... Then he looked at his own feet, and to his utter amazement, they were also about eighteen inches off the floor! Chapter 16 » In the Beginning As the book goes into its third printing before the end of two months, we wondered why God had left the seven empty pages at the end of the book. Now we know!

Born: Everett, Washington, June 13, 1918 Graduated from Northwest College, Seattle, WA, 1939 Pastored churches in Granger and Yakima, WA, and Gooding and Boise, Idaho. Pastor of Central Assembly of God Christian Life Center, Boise, Idaho, from 1950 ­ present. Average Sunday morning attendance in 1978 was about 1800. Married Charmian Jacobson, June 13, 1942 Born Again spiritually in 1929, and received the baptism with the Holy Spirit at the same time. Charmian was Born Again at age 10, and received the baptism with the Holy Spirit at age 21. This is the true story of an ordinary man who has experienced an extraordinary series of events. When we first heard of Roland Buck, we had been sharing the story of how God had placed a special warrior angel with us to protect us from the fiery darts of the devil until Jesus comes back. A couple asked us, "Have you heard about the pastor in Boise, Idaho, who has been having visitations from angels? They have been talking to him and bringing messages from God." Even in these days when the supernatural power of God is more in evidence than ever before, this shocked us; especially when Doug and Ruth told us that Gabriel was the one who brought the messages! For a moment it sounded like the most way­out statement we had ever heard, but somehow or other, there was such a ring of truth to it that we had a hungering created in our hearts to hear more! Our busy schedule kept us from calling this pastor to find out any of the details, but in God's perfect plan he kept nudging and nudging us to contact Roland Buck about writing a book.
