Angels



Spiral into a heavenly journey of peace and joy with the unforgettable Angels.
Let them fill your life with peace and serenity.
Enter a corner of heaven as you are touched by the Angels.
Gaze into the eyes of love, and the world of miracles will open before you.


As these glorious messengers come into your life, listen, and you will hear their whispers.
They will grace you with their love, radiance and supreme happiness.
Surrender to a loving and blissful relationship with your special angels.
You will travel on a rapturous journey to a special island,
that wonderful healing place where,
surrounded by your angels you will at last find
peace and healing for any painful situation in your life.


Angels are everywhere. Angels are among us.
God sends Angels to us to lead us through the heart of darkness into the light.
Through God's Angels,
we are able to see and understand what we cannot alone.


The word angel comes from the Greek word for messenger;
angels are messengers from God.
They seem to speak every human language fluently,
and with the exception of the Angel of Death, they always bring good news.
Often, too, an angel will save someone from disaster.


Their faces were living flame, their wings were gold, and for the rest,
their white was so intense, no snow can match the white they showed....
From rank to rank, they shared that peace and ardor
which they gained with wings that fanned their sides.

-Dante


Reflections of Light --John of Damascus

Angels are intelligent reflections of light,
that original light which has no beginning.
They can illuminate.
They do not need tongues or ears,
for they can communicate without speech, in thought...
They are limited in their powers:
when in Heaven they cannot be on earth at the same time,
and when God sends them to earth,
they cannot remain in Heaven at the same time.
Yet they are not captive to walls and doors;
in this respect they are unlimited.
When God sends them to appear to good men,
they do not reveal themselves in their true shape,
but in a changed semblance that men can see...
As disembodied mind, they live in a mental climate
and are not limited as bodies are.
They do not need the three dimensions.
Wherever they are sent,
they are there as mind and there can take on power,
but they cannot do this in more than one place at a time.


Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels,
numbering thousands upon thousands,
and ten thousand times ten thousand.
They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders.
In a loud voice they sang:

"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain,
to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength
and honor and glory and praise!"

Revelation 5:11
Angels are spritual beings created by God
who help carry out His work on earth.
They bring messages (Luke 1:26-28),
protect God's people (Daniel 6:22),
offer encouragement (Genesis 16:7ff),
give guidance (Exodus 14:9),
bring punishment (2 Samuel 24:16),
patrol the earth (Ezekiel 1: 9-14),
and fight the forces of evil
(2 Kings 6:16-18; Revelation 20:1).
There are both good and evil angels (12:7),
but because evil angels are allied with satan,
they have considerablly less power and authority than good angels.
Eventually, the main role of the good angels will be
to offer continuous praise to God (19:1-3).
NIV



"See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way
and to bring you to the place I have prepared."
(Exodus 23:20)



In Earth and Sky and Sea

Her white-fringed robes are
a deeper blue than yesterday
and they swirl in
tidal profundity
while over her head
winged trumpets
announce she
is among us.
