Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio. Well,
let me tell you a little bit about Katherine Land again.
A bestselling author has earned awards for both fiction and
non fiction. Her Angel Watched series of books has been
translated into more than a dozen foreign languages. Katherine has
interviewed hundreds of people over the past twenty plus years

(00:21):
and as chronicled her their near death experiences, visions, and
face to face meetings with angels as well. And you
can't have a Christmas Eve without angels, Katherine, So welcome
to the program. Thank you, George, Merry Christmas, you too.
What a fast year this has been though, right, you know,
and it has been. I cannot believe that it's Christmas already.

(00:42):
It's amazing. What is your take, Catherine on just what
angels are. Well, first of all, they are a separate species,
you know they are. They were created by God in
the very beginning, and they're a different creature than we are.
When they're not a human being. Human beings cannot become
an angel, and an angel cannot become a human being,

(01:04):
which are separate. So and the ones I see are
the one are they're winged, and you know, they are
what we traditionally think of as you look at an angel.
I don't see the first time I ever saw an angel,
I was about three years old and in the house
that I am, and now I live in my family

(01:26):
home where I moved in here when I was three
years old. Wow, I know, And it's it's really kind
of fun because these days I do have people come
in and the energy in this house is just different.
I go, yeah, well, that's because there's a few angels
hanging around here. Now. With these angels, some people think
that they could be extraterrestrials and that the biblically speaking,

(01:50):
when the Bible made reference to fallen angels and entities
like that, they were really talking about ets. What do
you think of that? I think ets or ets, and
I think that they are not angels. I think that
the angels are definitely messengers of God. The angels that
we see and we and can communicate with our angels

(02:14):
and ourch angels. There are other angels that just stay,
you know, in that realm, which if whatever you want
to call it, heaven, it's another dimension or paradise, whatever
it is, that dimension where you know, that's there are
dominions and power and powers, thrones, all those principalities, seraphim, chairman.

(02:35):
They all stay with God. They don't come to earth
and interact with human beings. That's up to the archangels
and the angels. Are we all assigned the Catherine a
guardian angel because that's what we were told. Yes, we
before we come to this earth, we meet with our
angel and we are that angel picks us or we

(02:57):
pick them, whichever or we agree, and then they are
with us every single moment of our lives, throughout our lives,
no matter how much you argue with them or yell
at them or say I don't believe in you, which
I wouldn't do that if I was anybody, I wouldn't
be doing that. And but what is important, I think

(03:19):
right now is for people to understand that there are
a lot of angels that you can ask those other
angels to come in and help you, especially when you're
going through very difficult times, whether their health problems. You know,
there's so many people today that have to take care
of their grandchildren, their children and their parents, you know,

(03:41):
the Sandwich generation, and they need help to just emotionally
handle all that's being given and put on their shoulders,
and that's where I think angels come in to help, comfort, guide,
and just ease their pain of all of that work. Well,
that is absolutely true. Now in some cases, though people

(04:05):
have tragedies. We're human beings, and bad things happen to
good people. What has happened? Where was the guardian angel?
How did something like that occur? I love that question
because many times there are things that we have to
go through in order for us to evolve ourselves, for

(04:27):
us to learn strength, to learn courage to come to
the other side of that tragedy. We come to this earth,
we have to be very, very courageous and strong and
brave souls to even come to this Really, it's a
beautiful planet, but it is a wretched life that many
of us live. There's no question when you think of

(04:49):
the people that live in poverty and the people that
have no food or no job, really have a rough time.
They have terrible home life. They go through some very
very tough times, and but the Angel is there, is
there with them, otherwise they wouldn't survive it at all.

(05:09):
A little bit later on in the program Tonight, Katherine
tom Dan hys our producer has done a rendition of
Footprints in the Sand that we're going to play for
people will play it probably next hour and that for
people who have not ever heard of that poem. It's
one of the most dramatic emotional poems I've ever heard.
I mean it just it brings a tear to your eye.

(05:32):
It does when you hear that, it makes your heart
skip a beat, doesn't exactly. And then tomorrow night I'm
playing a CLiPPA from my favorite movie, It's a Wonderful
Life where Clarence the Angel saved George Bailey. So I
guess that's what an angel supposed to do, right, Yeah,
and they and they do that a lot, they do.
I'm I have a proof of that. Just who was
my own son when he was ten years old. He

(05:54):
was He used to make plywood Christmas scenes, you know
for people. You know, people used to put those in
their front yards and put a floodlight on it, remember that.
And so he was a very good artist, and he
would cut them out of plywood and he'd paint them
and stuff. So he would go around and get orders
and he was coming out from in between some condos

(06:15):
that were across the street from us, and he got
hit by a very large suv like a truck thing.
And excuse me in this. I was at my house
writing on a book and this woman came running to
my door, pounding on my door, and she said, lady, lady,
come fast, your boy's been hit by a truck. And

(06:36):
I came running across there, and I thought, my life
is over. I thought, but if there anything happens to
my son, my life is over. He was maybe nine
ten years old. And the truck is stopped. She had
been driving the truck. The truck has stopped. He's sitting
on the curb and I pick him up and I go,

(06:56):
are you bleeding him? Where are you hit? Where he goes? Mom?
Somebody picked me up and put me over on the curb.
Oh my god. And his low bike is underneath the truck, twisted.
He said he was on the bike. And he said,
I don't know how it happened. And the woman said,

(07:17):
I hit him. I know I hit him. Look at
his Look at his bike. It's a twisted mess. And
he was fine. I've got two stories to tell you.
And when we take calls with you, Catherine, next hour,
I'm sure, we'll get a whole bunch of them from
our listeners. But I had a lady kid called me
several years ago during one of these types of shows,

(07:38):
and she was talking about how she went into her
garage and saw her son hanging. He had just attempted suicide.
And so here she is, frail five foot four, trying
to lift him up so the slack would be there,
so the kid wouldn't strangle himself, right, And of course
she's by herself. She's screaming, she's panicking. She said. Someone

(08:01):
came in the garage and helped lift him up to
the point where they were able to get him down.
She turned to thank the person. He was nowhere to be,
fave the disappearing guys. Yeah, nowhere to be. And then
there was another guy who was swimming in the ocean
and he was out a little too far and he
got exhausted and he got pulled down by a current.

(08:24):
And he said, he said, George, I'm a gonner. I'm
I'm I'm going to drown. And he said, all of
a sudden, out of nowhere, a hand breaks through the water.
I can see it coming down at me, and I
grab it and it pulls me up. And then everybody
who was on shore, they're swimming out there to come
and save me. But I got up to thank that

(08:47):
person as I got out of the you know, lifted
myself from the water. Again. Nobody there, Yeah, there's nobody there.
How does this happen? Well that there are there are
time there are times when angels come in. They look
like human beings. They can they move. I think I
think they moved through the dimensions. They show up and

(09:11):
they they make that change in your life. They do
the saving act that they have to save or they
give you, well just a few words of hope. A
friend of mine, she's really in a lost place just recently,
and she was in a store and this she's asking
for some help from this gentleman and and she was

(09:33):
waiting for a phone call to come in that could
possibly change her life. And he says to her, what
can I help you with? He said, I'm here to
help you. And she said, well, I don't know if
you can help me. And she said, what's your name?
And he said, Gabriel, it's coming. No need to worry.
She turned around. He was gone, I love it. I

(09:54):
love it. That's last week By the way, we're tracking
Santa last scene over Lincoln, Nebraska and now headed for Lawrence, Kansas.
He's moving along. He is moving along. What are the
ways that angels visit us? Excuse me? The biggest or
the most common is in dreams. I mean, when you

(10:17):
have a dream of an angel, it's not your imagination
that really happened. They're coming in and they're trying to
guide you, to protect you. If you've been praying for something.
Even if you haven't been praying for something, they may
come in and say, hey, you need not to take
that job over there because that's not going to be
good for you. So dreams are number one meditation, you know,

(10:39):
especially deep meditation. They can come in and talk to
you for hours. Listen to more Coast to Coast AM
