Actually, I have collected angels since the early 70's. Lately it seems a lot of people do. I have slowed down on my collection simply because I thought too much emphasis is now being placed on angels rather than Jesus.
Although this is still my personal opinion, I want to mention that were it not for the Lord, there would be no Godly angels to protect us, to minister to us, to even appear to us and at times speak to us for the Lord. We must always remember too that Satan was once an angel, in fact one of the head ones and when he rebelled against God, many angels did too and there were millions of them cast out of heaven with Satan. Sometimes Satan will even appear as an angel of light, according to Scripture.
I want to emphasize the importance they have of being messengers for Christ Jesus. We do NOT have authority to dispatch angels here or there but we DO have authority to ask the Lord to do that for us. There are angels of truth, of mercy, of grace, of many Godly qualities. So as you look at THIS angel collection, be reminded of the love God has for each of us as He uses them to touch our lives. |
