Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits

I've known people who said they actually photographed angels.

It turns out they were just specks of dust.

Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits

My husband and kids see angels now and then, and I had the impression that there were several angels lined up behind me when I was praying at church one night. Then I had to go and tell someone how many, and because they thought themselves to be much more superspiritual and holy than I, they got all jealous and gave me a death glare... lol. I believe that angels have different functions and offices (like in the army). I usually get the impression that an angel is next to me when I feel one of my hands start to shake. I believe that angels may usher in the annointing of God when we pray or worship, or when we tell someone our testimony.

Re: Angels: Ministering Spirits

So... the question was asked... outside of "protection"... in what other ways do angels minister to us?

What I'm discovering in my prayers is that angels are often classified in accordance to their nature like other spirits. For example, in Satan's kingdom we have spirits of addiction, spirits of anger, spirits of lust, spirits of violence and rage, spirits of depression, spirits of pride, etc. Angels are much the same, after all, Satan's kingdom is composed of fallen angels. In the Kingdom of Heaven we have angels of freedom, angels of temperance, angels of love, angels of peace, angels of joy, angels of humility, etc. Each angel has a "message". Angels may appear and speak their message, they may take on a disguised form (looking like a normal human) and speak their message. An angel can also speak into the human soul and spirit with a message to encourage in accordance to their nature.

Here we see that angels even ministered to Jesus after His temptation...
Matthew 4:11
Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him.
I believe they were speaking messages of encouragement, praise, and worship to strengthen Him after His encounter with Satan. It doesn't say if they were visible or not. We only know that they were indeed present.

Angels might speak into your soul statements like these:
"You are good enough."
"God does love you."
"You haven't gone too far to turn to God."
"You have the strength to make it."
"Relax, be filled with peace."
"Remember to forgive."
"It's never too late."
"You are a child of the Living God."
You may not even realize it with your conscious mind. But the "inner man" can hear the messages that angels bring.
