Our Guardian Angels Watch Over Us.

Our Guardian Angels Watch Over Us.

Based on . . .
Matthew 18:1-10
Hebrews 1:14
Psalms 34:7
many have concluded that each of we Christians have
at least one, or more, Guardian Angles that are assigned
to watchcare and protect us during our lifetime.

Matthew 18:10
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones.
For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see
the face of my Father in heaven."

Hebrews 1:14
"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those
who will inherit salvation?"

Psalms 34:7
"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him,
and he delivers them.".

The context of Matthew 18:1-10 requires that we interpret
Matthew 18:10's "one of these little ones" to be a reference
to we adult Christians. (Jesus is telling adults to take the
lowly place of children, that is to become properly humble).

So?

So we adult Christians are in that group that have "angels
in heaven" ~~~ ("their angels in heaven." Matthew 18:10)

So?

So based upon Matthew 18:1-10 and Hebrews 1:14 and
Psalms 34:7 ~~ we Christians DO have Guardian Angels
that watch over us. Its NOT . . . ONLY . . . young children
that have Guardian Angles that watch over them.

Of course, our Guardian Angels start their protecting work,
watching over us, when we are very young.

The world of Angels is as real as it gets.

There is an unseen world out there that
you can't see, that is actually more real
than this world that you can see.

How so?

Well, the people and most of the things
of this world are in the process of dying
or rotting or rusting away, but the people
and things of That Other World Heaven
are not. dying rotting, and rusting away.

That which is NOT dying, rotting, and rusting
away, is more real than that which IS dying,
rotting, and rusting away. Notice I said
"more real." This world IS real, but
That Other World Heaven is more real.

So Angels are as real as it gets.
You can't see them, but they can see you.
They know who you are. they know your
name and they know where you live.

And they like you ~
actually its reasonable to believe they love
you . Why? Because they would love what
God loves and God loves you.

Here is a list of some Bible verses/passages
if you ever want to "do a read up" on what
the Bible has to say about Angels:

Luke 15:10
Psa. 103:20
Ex.23:20
Psa 91:11
Luke 1:19
Judges 6:11-12
2 Kings 6:15-17
Acts 10:4
Acts 12:7-9
Dan. 9: 21-23
Matt. 1:18
Gen 24:40
Gen 19:1-11
Matt. 13:41-42

 

Thoughts?

Seems reasonable. "as in heaven, so on the earth". In today's prosaic and non-supernatural worldview, fostered by a scared church, there is much in the cosmos that is reflected on earth during our short lives.

Since the Lord Yeshua(Jesus) is Lord of all, we are under His wing and nothing happens to us by chance. I have been involved in a couple of encounters and can attest to supernatural events that defy our earth born reality. To the Lord High God EVERYTHING is supernatural - and our physical cosmos reflects this.

Caution: never 'pray' to angelic beings or the hosts of heaven. They are our servants and friends. We only worship the Lord High God and Him only do we serve!

[Ray12614]

One scripture you might also consider is: Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?  Hebrews 1:14  

It would seem from that verse that angels are sent to minister for us.  Well, however you want to say it, minister 'for', or 'to' us, the result would be the same? I am teachable on that point. . . . . . 

I did have one experience at my home that I can only say, seems to be angel intervention. No, I did not see an angel. One day, at my home, I had an old rickety, small and steep stairs going down to my basement, and, I was carrying something upstairs. As fate would have it, I lost my balance, and was falling backwards, head before feet down the stairs. It could have been a bad situation where I could have broken my neck, or worse, guess I will never know for sure.

As I was falling backwards past the point of recovery, all of a sudden there was pressure on my back pushing me forward on my feet, then, more than that I 'floated up' the stairs about 6 steps without the help of my legs (that also floated) and I was laying on the top of the stairs on my stomach, looking at my upstairs room.

I was stunned by what had happened, and as I was laying on my stomach, the impact of what had just happened started to hit me. I went from a reaction of stunned, to happiness for what the Lord had done to and for me, and then to denial that it had happened, then to realization that it had, and then to a bit of nervousness (I won't say fear) of the presence of the Lord (be it angels, or, however he did it). After a while, I just could not stop smiling and recalling what happened to me.

Years later, I still marvel at the goodness and deliverance of God in my life. THANK YOU JESUS!!!!

Grace and Peace . . . Ray . . .

The Bible doesn't say that each Christian has an angel assigned to us. God does use angels to accomplish His purpose. 

[Alive]

There have been times when I thought perhaps the Lord had dispatched an angel to help and times when I have asked the Lord to do so---but I suspect, with the latter--He was ahead of me on the deal.

THe reality according to clear scripture is that He is never absent from His own.

One time years ago, we were driving mid-winter across the prairie in Canada in a blizzard...with young children. We were near out of gas and hoping a gas station was close. There were prayers. We literally ran out of gas and then rolled into a gas station as pretty as could be.

There was much joy and worship.

That's true.

However, its reasonable to conclude from the following . . .

Perhaps those that willingly turn away from the supernatural and refuse to see God's hand at work might not feel as many of us do.

The supernatural is not like Milton's 'Paradise Lost' or other insipid churchy tales . Rather it is a true reality and should be embraced wholeheartedly as His Everlasting Kingdom and Domain.

[Marathoner]

Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels. (Hebrews 13:2 NKJV)

Apart from visions where our fellow servants are revealed with regard to their estate, I have encountered messengers and helpers from the Lord at various times and places. A distinction ought to be made regarding the term "angel," which is loosely defined as messenger in the scriptures. Regardless of whether the angel in question possesses a body like our risen Lord or toils in this flesh, all are servants of the Most High God. 

Any servant of Jesus Christ who comes in His name in accordance with His purpose and will, then, can be an angel sent by the Lord. I'll share an experience to demonstrate the reality of this truth so the reader might understand.

Many years ago I heard the voice of the Lord who said, Rise up and make your way to the Hill (a particular location where I lived), where you shall meet My angel. Unbeknownst to me, at the same time a dear brother in Christ heard the voice of the Lord who told him, Rise up, gather the oil, and make your way to the Hill where you shall anoint one whom I love.

It was nighttime under the stars when we encountered each other on the Hill. We exchanged greetings and my brother said, "The Lord told me to come here and anoint one whom He loves. You are that one." I was astonished and said, "The Lord told me to come here and meet His angel. You are His angel." My brother proceeded to anoint me with the oil in his horn, speaking words which came to pass many years later.
