Today I’m joined by Michael McAdams — a lifelong spiritual seeker whose path began in a Pentecostal upbringing and grew into a deep exploration of listening to Spirit and trusting inner guidance. We talk about his remarkable book An Angel Told Me So, filled with messages shared through his mother over more than 20 years, and the wisdom he’s gathered about keeping an open mind while staying grounded. He reads some sections from the book that I can’t wait for you to hear.  This conversation is gentle, thoughtful, and truly heart-opening — especially if you’ve ever felt there might be something more guiding your path. So let’s call it in. “Call IT In With Dar!”  

Speaker Dar 

Welcome to call it in, Michael, I am excited to have you with us today, and I'm going to have you just jump right in and start to tell us a little bit about yourself and how you got to this place you're at today. 

Speaker Michael  

I will thank you, Darla, thank you for having me. And I have actually gone to your website and listened to some of your interviews. You ask good questions. 

Speaker Dar 

Thank you. 

Speaker Michael  

So my background really was the foundation of faith, church based, Bible based. My mother was extremely religious. I was brought up in a Pentecostal church, and for those who may not be, who may not know, Pentecostal is an evangelical Christian literal interpretation of the Bible, pretty strict. But I had always, even when I was young, I felt that I had was spoken to, not in anything that you could hear, but in thought, which is the way most all of us receive information, guidance, direction or support from our spirit guide, Spirit Teachers and Spirit Teachers spirit guides are angels, just viewed from The different from a different perspective. So as I became older, I always felt more spiritual than religious. You know, we just know the story. We have a foundation of faith. And I had become involved as a seeker, a sincere seeker. On my website, Spirit speaks, com, it says, For all sincere seekers of truth, and then it says, when the student is ready, a teacher will appear. And for me that line, that statement, has always been appropriate, because as a seeker, you will draw to yourself, attract to yourself, books, events, movies, speakers, information that will take you the next step upon your journey. And I feel that I have been led to do this work. So when I was involved with this psychic group in Cincinnati, I was able to do psychometry, that's the ability to hold rings, watches, keys, anything that carries a person's vibration. And I had a table. They would sit down at my table. I would just ask their first name. I wouldn't engage in conversation, pump them for information, and they would give me something to hold. I had a legal tablet, and I would really just relax my mind and I would start to get a message, page sometimes, page and a half. When it got to the end, it would stop, and I would read this message to them. Sometimes they would cry, and it was more confirmation as to what they were going through, rather than actual prophecy. And I believe that we're all born with the innate ability to receive in this manner. I didn't think I was doing anything special. It just seemed natural to me. And we're all spoken to. We all receive guidance, direction, support. I'd slow down ahead if I were you, I wouldn't buy that car. If I were you, where does that come from? So we're all of it. You know this information is available to all of us with an open mind. And that is a statement that really requires attention, is to have an open mind. 

Speaker Dar 

Thank you for sharing that with us a new perspective of looking at Angels and spirits. One of my favorite sayings is the same as you just mentioned, when the student is ready, a teacher will appear. That's one of my favorite sayings as well. I'm a lifelong learner and also a seeker. So when I explored your website, I saw that you have a very interesting book. Will you dive into talking about that a little bit, sir. 

Speaker Michael  

Certainly. My book is titled,” An Angel Told Me So.” But how do you know this to be true? An angel told me so. The book is the first of three volumes. There's going to be three books in the series, and it's a collection of messages and teachings dictated directly from Spirit Teachers from the other side dictated word for word through my mother, Wilma Jean Jones, so I know the source, and she received these messages and teachings for 22 years now. Wilma, again, was a. Extremely religious, and I had gotten into a number of different spiritual things, and she wasn't really sure, wasn't really comfortable with some of the things I'd gotten involved in. And I asked her one time, I said, Can you have an open mind? And she said, Yes. Now her mother, my grandmother, had pastored a small Pentecostal church just north of Cincinnati in Ohio. And my grandmother would receive sermons dictated to her mind in thought that she would write down and preach in church. And she would even receive verses to songs that she would put to music. Now in the book, an angel told me that in the center is a photo gallery, and there are six verses to a song that my grandmother received lying in a hospital in Columbus, Ohio. They didn't think she was going to make it, and she was praying, and she was in a room by herself, and these words started to come into her mind, and she had pencil and paper on a nightstand by her bed, and she wrote those six verses down, and those six verses will almost bring you to tears. So we're all. We all have this innate ability to receive from the spiritual realm, and this spiritual realm is what most Christians, most people with the foundation of faith would call heaven. But the spiritual realm is much more than just a place called heaven, and we are separated on this physical plane, separated from the spiritual realm by a veil, a frequency, a vibration we don't really know what the medium is that separates us from this spiritual realm that we have spirit guides, spirit teachers that work with us, advise, guide, direct support as we make our way on this physical plane and in this physical existence. 

Speaker Dar 

Would you talk a little bit more about the spiritual realm and information that you know comes from there? 

Speaker Michael 

Well, any information that we get, most people receive many times without knowing why or how and but there's so many others that are afraid, afraid to receive, because they're just fearful that there might be some negativity, negative energy. I know a lot of Christians that believe in demons. Well, thoughts are things, and you can create whatever you believe in with the thought itself. But I advise people. I say they, if you're concerned that you may receive information from your own spirit guide, Spirit Teachers, and you're you want to question the source. The best thing that you can do, the protection that you can give to yourself is, I like to use an affirmation, and you can put a filter, a filter, an affirmation is a filter, an aura of protection around your thought system. We each have our own personal thought system, like a little mini Solar System swirling around in our minds, and an affirmation that came to me, that was given to me, I believe, by a spirit teacher so many years ago. I don't even remember how long or when I didn't have it. It said, Let no thoughts, ideas or information be made known to my mind that does not come from God or His direct representatives. Now you can think that, or you can say that as often as necessary, and then use that as your filter to make sure that nothing that is not of a positive nature or coming from your own spirit guide, Spirit Teachers, comes into your thought system. 

Speaker Dar  

I am pausing in awe, because I have always naturally done that, asked that no thoughts would come into my mind that were not positive, and from God, and I have done that since childhood, just naturally. So I believe I was also given a similar message, the same as you 

Speaker  Michael 

why I'd say we're on the same wavelength, 

Speaker Dar   

I'd say, and I'd say we're on the same vibration. I talk about vibration quite a bit, so I would love to have you share some expert excerpts. Excuse me, you can tell I'm just a little bit surprised from the book. Please do. 

Speaker Michael  

My mother, like I said, wasn't really sure she wasn't real. I mean, she wasn't, wasn't sure that she wanted to put these messages and teachings in a book. And this wasn't, you know, there are mediums, psychic mediums, that receive with channeling. And for those that may not know what channeling is. A psychic, a medium may tune in, drop down in level, and they will tune in to one of your spirit teachers. Sometimes their expressions will change. Sometimes their voice may change, and that's channeling, and they will present a message for you. Another way to receive is called automatic writing, where a medium, a psychic, may tune in to your spirit teacher. They have a tablet and a pen, and their hands will start to move and they'll get a message, a written message for you. Well, Wilma Jean, my mother, when she was led to sit down in these dedicated sessions, she had set up an electric typewriter in her kitchen, and she would be led in her mind, we have a message for you. And she would go in and sit down, light a candle, say a prayer, ask for protection, because you are opening your mind. And she would be given to see. Would see in her mind, three or four words, and they would not go in till she typed them. Once she typed those three or four words, they would just fade away, and three or four more would show up. That's how she got these messages, full page, single space, typed many times with no paragraphs. And these spirit guides, Spirit Teachers in these messages repeatedly refer to themselves in first person. We feel, we believe, we advise our view encompasses more than your view can comprehend. One line in a message said, we hear the spirit cries above the words you speak. Who talks like that, I don't talk like that. And these messages and teachings were in Volume One of the book. Were given by name to Wilma Jean, my mother and to me. She would sit down in a session. Her spirit teachers would move in and give a message for her address to her, and then my spirit teachers would move in and give a message to me, but it's like these messages and teachings are woven with a universal thread, and everyone who has read these messages have said, Well, this sounds like what I'm dealing with. This sounds like they're talking to me. And I tell people, I say, when you get the book, read each message once, as it was given for my mother, Wilma Jean, and given for me. Then read that same message again, as if it's being presented for you, and see what hits. It's amazing what hits. It's almost a little spooky. It's like, how do they know, how do they know what I'm dealing with? How do they know what I need to hear? So again, Wilma Jean wasn't really sure that she should put these messages and teachings in a book, because many of the messages were personal to her and to me. She went through a divorce. I've gone through a divorce. And she was working around the kitchen one day, and these words started to come into her mind. She knew it was incoming. She picked up pen and paper, she had beautiful handwriting, and she took this message down that she felt was a message that was confirmation that she should put these messages and teachings in a book she had been praying about. Now this message is on the back cover of the book. May I share this message with you and your audience, yes, please. So this is what she received. Emptiness is part of fulfillment. Let your resources fill the void left so that distinction of your purpose can be found. Expression is always self explanatory. Therefore, look inside and anchor all your beliefs beside those still waters that will take away your troubled view and renew your strength to recapture that which was lost but is now found to be adequate to pursue the course set before you. And as you reconcile your being to represent those qualities that have been left intact, God will see to it that all those circumstances have been trying to say the least, your weariness will disappear as clouds once removed allow the sun to shine, to dispel the gloom and darkness that has pervaded your countenance and is once described before, a token of this presence will be deposited to your account and books recorded in his name. Wow, and that gives you an indication of how deep and profound these messages are and how these spirit teachers speak, and they just really are so meaningful. And I've had one lady, just a customer service lady, you know, we talked to customer service, and I always try to share this information, as you sound intelligent. Do you like to read? Oh, yeah. And so I share this, and I've had customer service, people tear up saying you don't know how much I needed that I was meant to take your call today, and that makes you feel good. Now, on the website, spirit speaks.com there are tabs at the top left, bio for me, bio for my mother, and there's a tab for a television interview that my mother gave in Cincinnati. She can scroll when you click on her interview. She's the pretty lady in white on the left. And posted on her interview is a message from Volume Two of the book, which is not out yet. I'm looking for a new publisher. Now, this was the only time in a session where she was led to sit down and receive two different spirit teachers moved in in the same session, gave two different messages and signed two different names, and it was obvious that the second teacher was a different teacher than the first, because the whole cadence and phrasing of the message is different. Now this first teacher's message that I've posted on the website spirit speaks.com It was little more than a long paragraph. May I share this message with you and your audience? Yes, so this is the first teacher's message. There is a resurrection period through which man must travel in order to come into the realm of things. God, like you, is to consume and digest all that is given here, as this comes from one highly qualified to meet the needs of this generation. You are not the sole property of yourselves. God still holds the everlasting command over your being, and in him must one take refuge. You are to be considered as one who has been stripped of all belongings and left to die by the wayside. In this manner, are you then open to any help that would be forthcoming? You are, by your very nature, ones who would depend on your own intellect to carry you through. However, by giving of your soul into the hands of God, do you prosper and develop more freely into that which denies the outcome of some situations, knowing full well that it is the hand of God leading and directing you so that you may arise victorious in the end, there is never a time when you will be without the father nor his ever loving approaches to see that you follow the path that directs you homeward. Take note that we say Homeward, as your heavenly Father so resides in that vast and surmountable environment of time and space, so shall ye abide in joint communication with him by the grace with which he covers you, and by your ability to accept this grace and use it for your own development. There are others here who wish to make themselves known to you. So I will step aside for this time my love and devotion follows you as you trod onward, but ever faithful to your goal. And that message was signed by your loving guide now that next to the last line is the line that made me sit up and take notice. And he says, there are others here who wish to make themselves known to you. My question is, Who are the others and where is here, what do you mean there? There are others here. Where are you in relation to us, in this physical plane? And the answer to that is they are in the spiritual realm adjacent to this physical plane, not up above us, somewhere in a kingdom that we would go to for all eternity, but adjacent, right next to us, that we will transfer to when we finally end. You know, our physical existence, and I tell people, I said, there is no death. We never really die. It's just graduation. We ride around in these bodies the way we ride around in our cars. These bodies are just a vehicle to negotiate this physical plane, and when it's our time to cross over, we may glance back and say, Thanks for the ride. You served me well. Or if we're taken young in an accident or for health reasons, when we graduate we cross over to an Evaluation Center, where we get to look back and see what we did, how we treated people, what we could have done better. You know, we don't really know what awaits us on the other side, but it should be interesting. Yeah. 

Speaker Dar 

Yes, the god- like realm, and God holds the command. So much of that just speaks to the heart. And I do want to mention that I've often told people that you can trust that you're hearing from spirit, that you're being moved by spirit, especially when the language is different than ours. 

Speaker Michael 

I agree. And the Bible says, test the spirit. Well, these spirit guides, our spirit guides, our spirit teachers. They don't mind taking a quiz. If you're unsure, if you have a situation, you're dealing with an individual or a situation at work or family, you know, feel free to ask, pose the question, and then you have a choice. We have the innate ability to receive. But we also have been given this pesky little gift called free will, and we can accept or reject any advice, guidance, direction or support that we're given. So if you have a situation that you think you're going to deal with in a certain way, feel free to ask and see what they suggest, what they offer, or if you know, is it time to make the call? Is it time to say this? I'd wait if I were you, and then test the spirit. Try it your way, try it their way, and see which works out for the best. And that will build your confidence in their advice, guidance and direction. 

Speaker Dar   

What a great idea, and they don't mind being tested for sure. What else are you being called to share with us today? 

Speaker Michael 

Well, that first spirit teacher again, he said there are others here who wish to make themselves known to you. And he stepped aside and a second teacher moved in. In this same session, I gave a page and a half single space typed. And these spirit teachers, in these messages, they always tend to end the message either with a deep and profound last paragraph or a deep, meaningful last sentence. And this second spirit teacher moved in. I won't share his entire message, but his last, the last paragraph in his message, I believe, is extremely profound. May I share this, this last paragraph, this message, with you and your listeners? Yes, please. So this was the last paragraph in the second teacher's message, you are not as sheep herded here and there, but you are likened unto the Lamb that is cared for, individually, nourished and loved until the full and total development allows it to be master of itself. So is man, so kept and denied only those things that would not, in the long run, nourish his spirit. God is all wise and loving in his dispensations, we are not to judge the workings of our father, nor are we to judge each other. Work always to improve your own beings, for in the end time, there lies your soul with all the nourishment that you have given it totally dependent upon the outcome of your intentions. And that message was signed by your loving spiritual teacher. 

Speaker Dar   

Wow, that is definitely a loving spiritual teacher. 

 Speaker  Michael 

And there were so many of these messages were signed You know, not only and a lot of them are signed with a singular name, your loving spiritual teacher, your loving guide. But it's like there are a group of Spirit Teachers coordinating and collaborating on the other side to present this message. But yet, because they can continue to talk about themselves in plural, we feel, we believe, we advise our view encompasses more than your view can comprehend. They're speaking about themselves in plural, but yet, many of the messages are signed with a singular name, and then some of the messages signed in plural. Your loving spiritual teachers, Wilma Jean, received a message from her, your spiritual counterpart. I have messages to me that were signed by your spirit brothers, your spirit light. There was even a message in volume one that was signed with initials and Lz. And as time went on, and this spirit teacher moved in, he ended up signing a last name, and it was an El Zebedish, various individual names of these spirit teachers. Celestial beings from the spiritual realm, and they are with us in real time. 

Speaker Dar  

Wonderful. How wonderful. This has been a wonderful time spent with you, and I'm sure some of our listeners like myself are ready to get their hands on this book, and probably look forward to your next two for the total trilogy. Could you tell us a little bit about the process of  getting their hands on this book? 

Speaker Michael  

May I, if I can, have one more message that I wanted to share. May I share that with you and your audience? 

Speaker Dar 

Yes, let's do that first! 

Speaker Michael 

as I do these interviews, and I have explained all of the ways that this information came through. I've had a number of hosts. They say, Well, your mother received, your grandmother received. They said, Do you receive? And I said, Yes. I said, I've spoken pretty much continuously, constantly. It's like you open this channel and you recognize the incoming thoughts from our spirit teachers, they have a different feel in our mind. We can think whatever we want, but if you're riding in the car, the radio is turned off, you're not thinking about anything, and a thought comes into your mind. It feels different. And once you can notice that and recognize the difference, then you evolve this trust with the information that's being given. And when I was first looking for a publisher, I was on a number of different publisher websites. One of the websites asked questions about your work. One of the questions was, what makes your material unique? Why would anyone want to read this great question, and I was sitting where I'm sitting right now, at my computer. I didn't really even ask for an answer and an ant, but an answer started to be dictated to my mind. It was 12 lines long, and I just typed it down. When it got to the end, it stopped. And I have read this answer to a number of hosts on the air, and more than one has teared up. May I share this answer with you and your audience? 

Speaker Dar 

Yes, you certainly have me curious. 

Speaker Michael 

So the question was, what makes your material unique? And this is the answer that I was given. The uniqueness of any material is in the manner in which it touches the soul, an open and searching mind pulls the soul and the body in which it inhabits onward and upward with hunger and determination in its quest for spiritual nourishment, ever mindful that the path upon which we walk is The path toward God. Lives, lived experiences, endured, goals, accomplished and loved ones lost are all encounters upon that path, striving always for the highest possible communication with our Heavenly Father. Believe in yourself as the Father within you is guiding, leading, directing and comforting you upon this journey that we call life. Blessings be upon you as you walk your chosen pathway. 

Speaker Dar 

Oh, I'm so glad that you included that in today's talk. Thank you so much. So let's talk about logistics and ordering the book. 

Speaker Michael  

Alright, the book itself, and Angel told me so is available on my website. Spirit speaks com Ingram is my national distributor. It would be available if you have an independent bookstore, any bookstore can order it. They all deal with Ingram. It's in the Barnes and Noble system. All the Barnes and Noble stores can order it, and it's on Amazon. Alright. Now I also offer on my website, Spirit speaks calm. I have a contact page, and for you and your listeners, I'm don't have it changed, added to my website yet, but if any of your listeners would be interested in receiving some free information, free previews of the book, if they contact me, just remind me who they are, just they could just type the name, the words free previews. I will send them three messages from Volume Two of the book, which is not out yet, including the message where the Two Spirit Teachers moved in in the same session. Now these are Microsoft Word documents, so when they receive these, they're going to want to. With these and then print them better to hold them in your hand and read them, rather than read them off your computer monitor. And I tell people, I said, when you're holding these messages in your hand, know that you're holding proof, real proof, of the existence of a spiritual realm on the other side of this physical plane. And I talked to people from all walks of life, and we've been told to believe, just believe, have faith for 2000 years. And I don't do a whole lot on Facebook, but I recently saw a post and it said, I don't want to just believe. I want to know. And I believe that people are coming to that mindset, that we have been told to have a foundation of faith, told to just believe, but we are coming to the time where we don't want to just believe, we want to know. And these messages and teachings from Spirit Teachers are the proof of the existence of a spiritual realm. 

Speaker  Dar 

Oh, I'm so glad. I'm just going to repeat that, that this is one way to know and hold it in your hands. What a lovely gift you've given all of us today with your presence and your sharing how the Spirit speaks. Thank you so much for being with us and such insight. 

Speaker  Michael  

Well. Thank you, Darla, thank you for having me.
