Angels

Do you believe in Angels? I do. Angels are messengers of GOD, they serve as a bridge between GOD and the physical material world. Angel comes from the Greek root angelos which means messenger. It is unclear where angelic tradition and lore began on the earth, historians do know that as early as the civilizations of Sumeria, Persia, Egypt and India recognized messengers from GOD. Angels are noted in the Torah, Bible and Koran. Interestingly, names of angels are not often mentioned in the Bible. There is debate over which angels are in what part of heaven and the different order of angels and types. Commonly, here are the types of angels: angels, archangels, thrones, principalities, cherubim, seraphim, might, dominations and powers. Angels are commonly thought of as living in the seven heavens. All angels primary role is to serve GOD except for fallen angels. It is believed each one of us has one or more guardian angels, these angels come to your aid if you ask for the help. It is believed angels will only do constructive things that are within the overall good of the universe, therefore if you ask for example harm to others angels will not come to one’s aid for that.
The exception it is believed by some that fallen angels will use negative influence to create evil or temptation.

In my personal experience, I have connected with angels through my meditation. It is always a good idea to be in a meditative or prayerful mood when asking angels for help. Here are some angels and there spheres of influence.

Archangel Michael- empowerment, protection, strength and truth
Archangel Jophiel- wisdom, illumination and energy renewal
Archangel Rafael- healing and science
Archangel Haniel- clarity, communication and group energy
Archangel Chamuel- relationship, love, beauty and compassion
