BELIEVE IN THE MINISTERING OF ANGELS

I've been thinking a lot about angels lately. Angels are messengers of the Lord. I believe we are surrounded by angels sent to encourage, protect and inspire us. Some are unseen and come directly from the Lord. However, there are also 'flocks' of angels in our lives who are living breathing friends and family who carefully minister to us. Sheri can attest to that. I love this verse from the hymn AS SISTERS IN ZION:


“The errand of angels is given to women,

And this is a gift that, as sisters, we claim:
To do what-so-ever is gentle and human,

To cheer and to bless in humanity's name”



Here's a selection of quotes I've collected, most refer to our unseen friends. Let me know if you want references.


“believe…in the ministering of angels.”

Angels have not ceased to minister unto the children of men.

“It is by faith that angels appear and minister unto men.”

“And now, he imparted his word by angels unto men, yea, not only men but women also.
Now this is not all; little children do have words given unto them many times,
which confound the wise and the learned.”

"If you live up to your privileges, the angels cannot be restrained from being your associates."

“Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.”

“I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left,
. . . my Spirit shall be in your [heart], and mine angels round about you, to bear you up.”


A wise and trusted man recently admonished us: “In the process of praying for those angels to attend us, may we all try to be a little more angelic ourselves”
