The House at 206

By Brian Cote

This is a true story of a man who from the age of five years old began experiencing paranormal and supernatural events.

These occurrences along with many brutal injuries and tough situations set him apart from the "normal" or "average" person.

After repeatedly cheating death, he realized that God would not let him die or let him down.

Ten years ago, he found himself living in a house where for three solid weeks he had personal contact with guardian angels and some demonic entities as well.

Undeniable were these bizarre encounters due to the fact that three other people in the house experienced this phenomenon in real-time with him.

Come explore the peculiar life of one man and how God so awesomely revealed through his angels, his plan for this man's life inside of the house at 206!

Introduction

Life is not easy, so to speak, for anyone, and this man's life was definitely no exception to this rule. In fact, starting from early childhood, Brian Allan Cote was afflicted with a number of disadvantages, including having a lazy eye, being diagnosed with ADHD, and getting severely bullied in school. These mishaps were followed up with many accidents, injuries, illnesses, and other miscellaneous misfortunes throughout the decades to come.

He found Jesus when he was just ten years old and became blessed with many gifts and talents. Yet being a Christian does not exclude us from hardships or make our life perfect by any means. Crumbling under life's pressures, he strayed many times and has made some major mistakes throughout his past.

God did not give up on him, however, and pursued him relentlessly, going to extremes, including even sending his messengers (angels) who personally verbally revealed God's plan for his life. During his three-week encounter with these angels while living at the house at 206, they also revealed some mysteries about how guardian angels operate that are surely not clearly spoken of in Scripture. Brian was ultimately instructed by them to share his unique and amazingly extraordinary story with the rest of the world.

Chapter 1

I Was Created for This!

I simply reached the end of running from my dreams and my calling! This is especially serious because there has been a compilation of strange or wild events (some of which lack simple reasoning or the ability to explain except by using the word supernatural) coupled with some very poor decisions consequently resulting in outcomes ranging from horrible all the way to wonderful and miraculous. These tremendous displays of God's awesome power are the true message of this book; it is the very reason I have become elected by God and given enough grace in order to write my spectacular life story and not just write it but to share it with the rest of the world. It is chuck-full from cover to cover with revealed truths and authentic events that have happened throughout my peculiar yet extraordinary life!

Since as far back as I can remember, about three or four years old or so, I know that I was feeling uncomfortable with what felt like a dark force that seemed to be shadowing me on a consistent basis. This chaotic, unsettling force was intertwining itself with my own existence affecting my psyche which then began shaping my opinion of how life was supposed to be in my early years of life. It all started several years before my parents divorced when I was nine years old. I was already having trouble in school with not fitting in, and I had an extremely difficult time concentrating in a class setting. I was also getting picked on and bullied in school often. Divorce was increasing at a rapid rate during that time (late seventies), and the family unit was under attack from the modern fundamental changes which were perpetually rendering families fatherless.

My mom tried extremely hard to do the best she could as a single mom, always keeping a job to support my sister and me. My mom's sister, Patty, would help sometimes by bringing us groceries or taking my sister and I to festivals or strawberry picking and things of the sort to relieve a portion of the load off my mom. I really enjoyed doing things with Patty too. I loved her and how genuinely kind she always was. My good memories are few, and she was able to help build some early ones, and I cherish them.

The family unit was under attack by the same evil source and dark force thrown from heaven and down to earth by God long ago. If given the chance, this force is determined to distract us from, delay, and even destroy good, pure intentions and works which bloom within the human heart and spirit. We are all created in God's own image, which is why we have good, pure intentions in the first place. Think about this for a minute: a singular, sovereign, omniscient, omnipotent, and omnipresent (all knowing, unlimited power, and the quality of being everywhere) God we are talking about here. His Spirit is the truth and fullness of love in the purest, most original, and unchangeable form. He has put divine thought into creating us in his own image and all for a purpose.

I am releasing these events, situations, and memories because they need to be shared with the world instead of being kept to myself. Instead of being considered as sandbags having negative results, they are now being reevaluated, reassessed, and rearranged to fit into a new, healthy belief system—one that allows for mistakes yet exercises good judgment. One that testifies to my deepest inner self (soul, spirit) that I am doing God's will. I am no longer affected by fear whose purpose was to derail God's plans for me through lies, trickery, or deception. Satan is the father of lies, and he did not want me sharing the gospel or helping people, and he surely did not want me to share my story. He tried everything in his power to stop me as you will soon see for yourself but…

When I finally said, I have had enough running! I turned to God for help asking him for the courage to press on. He answered by causing this fear to lose its grip on me, which opened my eyes and gave me a fresh perspective that I had been lacking for some time. I was awakened once again to the fact that there is no limit to the positive possibilities deriving from a loving God who only has our best interests in mind; he is always willing to bless and provide for those who choose to serve him. I was awakened to a new, refreshing, and victorious way of thinking that completely transformed my thought pattern to believe and hope against hope!

I came to realize that the battle was in my mind. The battleground for the war on self started in my mind, set in my heart, and then was broadcast through my words, thoughts, and actions. Indeed, it was a major drag living the better part of my life under a false belief that I was not good enough or smart enough to follow my dreams and God's plan for my life while following his will and bringing glory to him. He always knows best, and his timing is not our timing. Therefore, we must trust in him and step out of our comfort zone in order to truly experience life in all its abundance! John 10:10 tells us, The thief [Satan] comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I [Jesus] came that they may have life and have it abundantly.

To experience the Holy Spirit is an amazing experience. To feel his presence and to experience that peace that surpasses all understanding is the most incredible experience, to say the least. Philippians 4:7 says, And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus (ESV). To have personal relations with God and angels and witnessing miracles happen in the presence of other individuals over and over throughout one's life is incredible to me.

Though I was loved, I felt from toddler age or shortly proceeding that I was inadequate and measured short of the mark. For starters, I am small-boned. In fact, the smallest in my family apart from my daughter. I was a twerp! I was also born with a lazy eye, so, by the age of four or five, I wore coke bottle glasses. The third strike was that I was diagnosed with hyper activeness at age six or seven and was prescribed with Ritalin. ADHD was not even a term back in 1976–1977. (It was in 1987 that the American Psychological Association changed the name to attention deficit hyperactivity disorder.) To add to this, I received stitches two or three times by then (mostly in the head). I was hit by a car and mauled by a large Saint Bernard mix dog all by the age of five, so I was ahead in the pain department and had my share of injuries at a tender young age.

Little did I know that adversity would become a common thorn in my side challenging me on a consistent basis for the next several decades to come. I had no clue how difficult things would get for me, but I also did not realize back then that I was born for this!

Chapter 2

School Years

I invite you into my school years now. I spent my first seven years in the same school: Woodrow Wilson Elementary. My sister Dawn was three years older than me, and the same bullies that picked on her would pick on me as well. I got my tail whooped all throughout elementary school, but I grew the summer between sixth and seventh grade. I fought back in seventh grade and won my first fight against another boy who tried to bully me. Word got around; the bullies got in line, and I had to beat them one by one as I defended myself and other students who were being picked on as well. Expulsions followed suspensions, yet it was a fair price
