All About Heavenly Guardian Angels
Heavenly
angels, often referred to as guardian angels, are mentioned numerous
times in the Scriptures. Therein we learn that angels are spiritual
beings created by God to serve him, and sent by God to watch over the
human race, to deliver his message, to guard and protect us from danger,
to do battle with other spiritual beings on our behalf.
Since
the beginning of time, angels have delivered God's messages to mankind.
Sometimes the messages are warnings of impending danger, sometimes instructions
as to what to do in a particular situation, sometimes they are simply
"there" as protection from enemy forces. Sometimes they bring
joyful announcements as in the day they announced the birth of Jesus.
I
am often asked by skeptics, Why do we need angels? In truth, I don't
know. God can deal with us in any way that pleases him to do so. He
can speak with us directly, in a burning bush, in dreams, visions and
specifically through the Scriptures. Yet, he also employs angels. The
Scripture says angels were created for his pleasure. Perhaps it is as
simple as that -- it pleases God to send the supernatural heavenly beings
to minister to his children.

My Christmas Miracle
submitted by Doreen
It was December 18, 1997 and I was writing out my Christmas cards. This
in itself was perfectly normal considering the season…but I was writing
them in the surgical waiting room at Columbia Presbyterian Medical
Center in Manhattan.
My husband, Michael, was 30 and he had been sick since August. I was
very fearful that he would die and that our boys, Sean and Kevin, would
grow up without a father. It was bad enough that they lost an aunt the
Christmas before. That they could lose their father as well was
unthinkable. I had been praying constantly. I said every Novena to
every Saint I could think of. “Please God…” was constantly
in my mind and on my tongue.

The First Christmas Carol
by Charles H. Spurgeon
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men."—Luke
2:14.
It is superstitous to worship
angels; it is but proper to love them. Although it would be a high sin,
and an act of misdemeanor against the Sovereign
Court
of Heaven to pay the slightest adoration to the mightiest angel, yet it would
be unkind and unseemly, if we did not give to holy angels a place in our heart's
warmest love. In fact, he that contemplates the character of angels, and marks
their many deeds of sympathy with men, and kindness towards them, cannot resist
the impulse of his nature—the impulse of love towards them. |
