Do angels exist?  Are there really angels?

Yes, angels really do exist, both good and bad angels.  "For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him" (Colossians 1:16 (NIV)). Our Father, God (YaH), gave angels free will which allowed them to make mistakes, as demonstrated by satan when he chose to try to become the ruler of heaven (Job 4:18). However, our Father knew satan and one third of the angels would choose to follow satan because everything that happens has been previewed by God and fit into His plan (Romans 8:28-30, Psalm 139:16, Isaiah 46:10,  Acts 4:27-28,  1 John 3:20).  Archangel Michael and the remaining two thirds of the angels fought against satan and his angels (Revelation 12:7).  After satan and his angels lost the war, our Father took them from heaven and put them in the lowest depths of the pit, referred to as hell (Isaiah 14:12–15).  The angels who had joined satan became known as demons (Matthew 12:24).

 

Do I have a guardian angel?  Do angels protect me? 

 

Yes, our Father, YaH, assigns a group of angels to be Guardian Angels.  The ranks of angles are: Archangel, Cherubim, Seraphim (Four Living Creatures), Ruling Angels, Guardian Angels, and Hosts.  Do not be mislead, however, because satan can pretend to be an angel of light, and satan's demons can pretend to be righteous (2 Corinthians 11:13).  While angels are spirits, they can also transform into physical beings, if there is a need for it.  The Holy Bible directs us to show hospitality and kindness to strangers because they could be angels, having taken physical form (Hebrews 13:2).  However, angels are usually invisible and can't be seen because our Father doesn't want us to worship them, and He wants us to retain our free will (Revelation 19:10).

 

Commentary

 

It is possible to believe in The Messiah without accepting Him as your Savior and Lord of your heart, soul, and mind. It's also possible to believe in The Messiah without receiving The Holy Spirit. The devil is a prime example of one who believes in The Messiah, but hasn't been baptized in The name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit (James 2:19). All the devil worshippers, who are 'human beings', also believe in God, but haven't been baptized in The name of The Father, and The Son, and The Holy Spirit. Other believers (in Judaism, the Pharisees, and even many unsaved 'Christians') who have failed to develop personal and loving relationships with The Messiah, haven't been baptized in The Holy Spirit, so The Messiah said He doesn't 'know' those believers. Sadly, there are many Mormon, Catholic, and also many 'Christian' believers, whom think they are 'saved' but are not going to 'find' the 'narrow way' to the 'small gate' of Heaven (Matthew 7:14). Those believers will not enter the Kingdom of Heaven (Matthew 7:21-23). 

 

A 'saved' Christian's body becomes a temple for the Holy Spirit, who is a living gift given to you by God (1 Corinthians 6:19). The Holy Spirit urges Christians to fellowship with other Christians, and urges them to study The Bible, which is the word of God. Equally important, The Holy Spirit urges Christians to maintain a personal, loving relationship with The Father and The Son. A 'saved' Christian should be reminded, and feel urged, to pray at least five times a day: after waking from sleep, before each meal, and before going to sleep (Luke 22:17-21; Colossians 3:17). These things are not burdensome in any way for a Chrisitan who is filled with The Holy Spirit, despite all the socio-economic demands of the world on our daily lives. Are you all talk and no action, which is also referred to as, having faith but no works (James 2:14-26)?

 

The daily prayer is quite short, and yet, it includes forgiving other people for their sins (also known as debts or trespasses), so forgiveness is obviously very important to God. If our Father is to forgive the sins of His children, those Christians must forgive the people who have sinned against them (Colossians 3:13). If believers fail to forgive other people for their sins, especially if the sins are so minor as not to be referenced in The 10 Commandments, the salvation of those believers is questionable. The Messiah shed His blood and sacrificed His life on the cross to forgive our sins. What have you done to forgive?

 

Do you love God with all your heart, soul, and mind (Matthew 22:36-40)? One way to know for sure is to analyze whether or not you keep His commandments, which are not burdensome (1 John 5:2,3). If you truly love and follow The Messiah, you will keep His commandments without even having to think about keeping them because love fulfills the law (Romans 13:8-10). As you love The Messiah, so you should also love your neighbors as you love yourself. You must love because it's The Messiah's first commandment and because God is love (1 John 4:8). It's easy to love those who love you, but have you learned how to love your enemies yet (Matthew 5:44-47)? Your enemies are waiting to become Christians and your greatest allies.

 

Have you heard of the Great Commission (Matthew 28:16-20)? How are you doing with it? Would you say you are hot, cold, or lukewarm (Revelation 3:15,16). Would you say you're a temple for The Holy Spirit? Do you think The Messiah really knows you? God loves you so much He sent His Son to die for you, and He wants you to be born again and join Him in Heaven for eternity. Getting saved by God's grace is a miracle, so please honor and respect His grace by learning and living His scriptures. If God wanted you to merely sit back and revel in your salvation through God's grace, there would be little need for a majority of the scriptures in The Holy Bible. 

 

I'll join you in prayer for us all.

 

Please read, The Messiah said, "I do not know you".
