Real Angels

Angels are with us all the time, they are here to serve us, to help us and protect us.

I have had visible help from them at various times not just in street ministry but in dangerous situations and when travelling.

Use them.

Many don’t even acknowledge them, but they can help in many different ways.
They can help you to pray, they have the perfect disposition of adoration before God.
In ordinary human life they can help, they love us.

Our guardians chose us from the moment of our conception to be our companions throughout our life. A soul created and presented and from all the choirs one unique angel saw you and came to love you and protect you in a very special way.

They prompt, guide, protect and comfort us.
Acknowledge them and use them.

Angels help order our lives to God’s purpose and Will.

Angels are the official Royal courier service of God.
Why use them? Because God uses them to powerfully announce important things to us on Earth.
Send them to powerfully announce your prayers and requests and thanksgivings in a special way for you to Jesus our King.

In the high tech virtuless barbarity of modern life, many say “ I would like to speak to your manager “, and perhaps this is necessary here. Going over people’s heads.

Yes, we can talk to Jesus intimately here and be as familiar as we like.
This is entirely because of His Great humility and condescension.
But we can not forget that He is King of kings and Lord of lords, not just like our neighbour pal Bob that we can yell at over the fence as crass as we want.

Including Angels in the communication recognises Jesus as King of kings, the Angels know the protocols of the Royal Court and present things with the appropriate respect and honour.

One day we won’t see Jesus as a knock around pal in raggy clothes. But as the Greatest King who deserves the Greatest Honour and Glory. We will see Him as He really is.

There is NO scripture that says we are to use angels, talk to angels, get them to announce our prayers, or include them in our communications to God.

On the contrary, we are instructed to personally and directly approach God’s throne.

Hebrews 4:16

Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.


John 16:23

And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.


Colossians 2:18

Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.

Yes, we can go direct, but we can use the Angels to deliver our prayers.

Rev 8:3

“Another angel, who had a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense to offer, with the prayers of all God’s people, on the golden altar in front of the throne.”

No Baptist prayers will be in that censer of cause, that's not how they do things.
Angels are entirely excluded from their worship as “ worship of angels “.

Only Catholics and Orthodox will offer their prayers through the Angels.

Angels are very much part of the highest worship at the Altar before the Throne for the Apostolic Churches.
The Angels deliver our prayers in a worshipful way at the Altar before The Throne as incense.

The supernatural is not a reality for many believers, angels might as well be fairies at the bottom of the garden to them.
Angels are given to us to be our supernatural guardians and helpers throughout life.
Angels are very real, the Kingdom has a countless menagerie of unique and incredible creatures.

The Angels are entrusted with the sacred work to offer our prayers before the Altar and The Throne. That is before Christ as Priest and Christ as King.

Don’t exclude Angels from your worship of God, they offer our prayers in a Holy and Sacred, worshipful way before the Altar and Throne.
It’s not “ Worship of angels “.

This is real ignorance of the reality.

Interesting post but I notice you do not use any scripture, the Word of God, to lend credense to your thoughts.

You misuse scripture here tp such a point as to cause doubt of yout indwelling of Ruah. Without the indwelling of the Spirit none can be saved. (Rom. 8:9-11)

“For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.”

Angels are real and they protect you physically but also spiritually.

“To keep you in all your ways.”

They are specially felt close when travelling, or sick, there is particular presence they give off.

They help you in disposition to pray. I’m noticing them more and more.
I’m noticing the dark things more and more in street ministry. There is a pall around many people.

But the Angels are always watching.

You are questioning another BB members salvation in violation of the boards rules.

You also need to explain how scripture is misused here. Why? I suspect it doesn't one of a myriad of evangelical spins on this verse.

I have never had any indication that there were angels near me, or that they have tried to communicate with me.
I wish they would make me aware of their presence, if they are there.

Scripture is polyvalent in many verses, but we especially see this in Revelation.

I couldn’t do my Angel chaplets whilst I was ill but they were with me throughout it all. The doctors told me if I delayed any longer I would have died. We try to tough things out each time, but some things you can’t muck around with.

Talk to your guardian Angel, build the relationship he has always been there. My brother remembers his guardian angel playing with him when he was a toddler.
I think we all knew them when we were infants, but have forgotten them.

I have been visibly helped by my guardian angel in street ministry and when I injured my neck and was helpless.
I asked angels to protect a bloke who blasted past me on his Harley and he crashed up the road without a scratch. Bike ripped apart and scattered everywhere. Real miracle, real help.

God didn’t give us these special guardians for decoration. They are real effectual and powerful beings at our service.

There are many other instances I can tell you.
Angels are a very big part of our devotions, God gave them to us to be our closest friends, not to ignore and exclude them.

We salute the nine choirs of Angels in our prayers.

Seraphim, the “ burning ones “ closest to God, aflame with Adoration.

Cherubim

Thrones

Dominions

Virtues

Powers

Principalities

Archangels

Angels

The high choirs are in highest celestial ministry to God.

The lower choirs are tasked with the material cosmos, the Earth and mankind.

Michael the Archangel is the commander of all the Angels.

By saluting the Angels we obtain special help from all of them. They are God’s spiritual army.

Jesus said He could call on legions of angels to defend Him if such was His Will.

Those born again in the Kingdom the body of Christ the Church can also call on the Angels.

I have asked angels, God, Jesus, the Holy Spirit, to please make themselves real to me, to communicate with me, and I get silence.

What were the Apostles doing before the outpouring of The Holy Spirit?

Silence is the best start to the spiritual life, we must pray with the heart and the heart doesn’t use words, it desires, that’s its language.

Are we asking with our lips or asking with our hearts by desire.

“ This people honours me with their lips, yet their hearts are far from me “

Jesus is interested in our hearts.

The best way to engage the heart is to meditate on Jesus passion every day.
These terrible sufferings were caused by you and me by our sins.
Jesus went through all this for love of you and me. To save you and me.

The more you meditate on Jesus suffering, His innocent hope in your loving response to His total demonstration of Love, do you notice your heart moved at all? Is it cold or indifferent?

We must engage all our heart meditating on Jesus Passion for us. Our hearts must be transfixed in awe and adoration at Jesus demonstration of Love on the Cross.

“ You must love the Lord your God with all your heart all your mind and all your strength “

I don’t know of anything that engages all the heart, mind and strength than meditation on Jesus passion. What else does this?

Jesus will be very real to you when you do this.

Heart, mind and strength.

Strength - Persistency every day.

Mind- Meditate, this is our reaching up to Him.

Heart - Contemplation, being taken by Grace, this is God reaching down to us, drawing us into Love, Adoration.

I have kept you in my prayers. Very glad you're recovering from the sepsis.

I began praying the Angel chaplets in the mornings some time back. David directly addressed the Angels in the Psalms, so when we hear there's no scripture supporting it we have this great OT saint to refute this.

My wife had an encounter with Angel's which pointed her in the direction of Christianity. She was a convert to Christ late in life and I am so grateful as she's nearing the end of this earthly pilgrimage.

Hope you are experiencing a Holy Lent and again, I am grateful for your recovery.
