It Happened Just Like That: A Collection of True Stories

By Willie Wright Sr.

The stories in this book are real. In 1942 at the age of five while sleeping across the hallway from my bedroom, a supernatural event occurred on a cold night in January when an angel awakened me by physically pulling the bedcover downward from my shoulder toward my feet. This person was standing on the right side of my bed, plainly in the dark of the night as a human being. My parents had no knowledge of what was happening. My life from this moment forward dealt with angels of Jesus Christ our Lord.

Every story prophesized by angels in dreams, visions, and instant communications were always accurate. These true stories continue today.

Preface

And the Lord answered me, and said, write the vision, and make it plain upon tables, that he may run that readeth it.

—Habakkuk 2:2

T his nonfiction book contains true stories of happenings in my life. The Lord wants me to tell the world of His almighty power working through His messengers, known as angels. We learn that God is a spirit, and we devoutly worship Him.

When you begin to read these true stories, you will see and understand the miracles in this book.

How It Began

Behold I send an angel before thee; to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.

—Exodus 23:20

I held certain beliefs at the age of five, and one of those beliefs was there were no such things as ghosts walking in a cemetery at night or being in places some people claimed were haunted. This was not a ghostly problem for me at this young age.

One cold December night, I was sleeping in my grandmother’s house, which was about one hundred years old, when something transpired. My mother and father were also living in this old house during this time.

Asleep in the middle of the night, with the bedcover pulled up to my shoulders to keep me warm, I went to sleep. All lights were turned off for the night. Later in the night, during the hours of darkness, a most
