Angels - The Messengers of Our Lives (Part 2)
Have you had an encounter with an angel?

What did it look like? Was it a whisper a feeling? Some claim messengers send 'intuitive messages' to them and speak through them. Some claims have been made that some people ARE 'angels'-or became one after death. Some of the information here was from my own studies over a period of 20+ years-emails frieinds have sent and public information.
Can HUMANS become angels? Controversial topic eh!
Regardless of what we have been taught
Angels are defined as Messengers from God. They exist even today in most all religious beliefs-be it Christianity, Judaism, Islam to even Eastern Religions such as Buddhism. Angels portrayed in the Old Testament appear to many without 'wings'-but were still messengers but didn't look like the 'pictures' we think of as angels. Over time their likeness began to change-beginning in other forms winged creatures, bright lights, appearing in many sizes, shapes and forms throughout history.
Years ago someone I dated told me of a church in another town. The church had burned to the ground-EXCEPT for the 'altar'. The congregation was grieved at the loss of the church-but another quickly was built and the 'old altar' was restored and placed back into the church. Many came that first Sunday to celebrate their new sanctuary. The 'story' goes like this..
That Sunday the choir began to sing. Suddenly children began to point up and giggled in glee. The adults got flustered at the kids of course-but many also wondered why all the commotion. One kid after another began staring at the old altar piece-and pointed. The parents and the choir all stared as out of this altar one ANGEL after another began to step out and then marched straight out the door of this small country church. EVERYONE saw it-the Pastor, his choir who by then had stopped singing. In awe they watched Angels ascend out silently marching in formation. It made the 'small town' gossip of the week!
The conclusion made was that all these Angels had been trying to 'protect' the most sacred part of the church. They suceeded; and once their assignement was completed-they simply 'left the building'! *S*
How many angels exist? In every version of the Bible it is said that there are 'ten thousands upon ten thousands' surrounding the Throne of Heaven. Michael and Gabriel are two of the Chief Archangels.
There is definitely also 'orders of the hierarchy' of supernatural beings starting in what has been described as circle about Heavens throne:
Seraphim
Cherubim
Thrones
*There ARE 'lower forms of 'angels'-including fallen angels which I won't get into here.
Angels are also considered as heavenly guardians of God's throne.
The medical profession has acknowledged little as to 'healing from angels'-but more claim it was a 'higher power' or the persons will to live. But how can you argue with 'miraculous healings' or 'miracles'-when so many claim they were touched 'by an angel'? Yet many people have vivid memories of those around a hospital bed-and also 'viewing family members actions' while in an unconcious state! Documented accounts today flood the media about ANGELS!
Angels are a mystery to all who are touched by them. Many people who have life death situations-later claim they were 'forewarned'. There are many people we may come into contact with that have a 'glow about them' that is unexplainable! They are super high energy-people can FEEL something special or DIFFERENT when around this persons presence. Are they angels in human form? It is said in the Bible "Beware-lest ye entertain angels as strangers unaware.'
CAN angels appear to us as in human form??
There is a book out called
Tara's Angels*. This young lady passed at the tender young age of 15. She was into angels-reading all about them daily. I've read her story-and it is fascinating!
Her family runs a well-known shop called Tara's Angels in San Juan Capistrano, California which sells beautiful angel items. The compassion of this story is beyond words.Tara passed at age 15 in a horrible wreck-survived by 2 friends. Her story has touched many lives including her friends and strangers.
I strongly suggest anyone buy a copy of this book and read it! Her story is amazing! Check into this at any local bookstore or via Google*! Also-I suggest to check with your local library. Her parents shop is in honor of their beautiful daughter and the lives she touched before passing.
She is referred to as the familys' Guardian Angel now!
What part do angels play on earth today?
Will they help prevent wars or invervene with them?
What can angels do for us in our daily lives?
These and many other questions will be debated
long into the future I am sure.
For now I will be content to know I HAVE
a Guardian Angel who I can turn to when I need them!
You do too-explore who your angel is!
They are your Protector, Guardian and Messengers for LIFE!
This is part 2 of an "ANGEL SERIES".
