Almost All Religions Believe in Angels
Angels are mentioned throughout the Old Testament and
also in the New Testament. Almost every major religion
believes in the existence of angels and their role as
intermediaries between God and man. These religions
include: Catholic, Jewish,
Evangelical, Protestant,
and even some Atheists. Although the interpretation
of what an angel actually looks like or how they came
to be may differ, the belief of these spiritual beings
is universal.
The Nine Orders of Angels:
*The First Hierarchy: Seraphim, Cherubim, Thrones
*The Second Hierarchy: Dominions, Virtues, Powers
*The Third Hierarchy: Principalities, Archangels,
Angels
Each of the nine orders of angels has different jobs
to do. The highest order of angels is the closest to
God. They are enlightened by God and help pass their
knowledge about God's mysteries on to others below them.
In fact, the word cherubim means "great understanding"
in Hebrew. Many people wear cherub pendants in the hope
of gaining greater insight into the mysteries of God.
The second order of angels has power over the angels
below them. They are able to perform miracles and provide
the power to the saints on earth who cure the sick and
see into the future. These angels, especially the "Powers"
have control over evil spirits. They help people to
resist evil and do good works.
Angels Are the Closest Order to Mankind
The lowest order of angels are the ones most people
are familiar with. They are entrusted with the protection
of all people, in all parts of the universe. They convey
God's message to people in order to give them the chance
of salvation and to glorify God. The archangels usually
make announcements, revealing God's will to the people.
Angels are at the bottom of the order, but are the spiritual
beings that most people relate to. They try to teach
people to live good lives of faith and virtue. The angels
also watch over those who have faith, always ready to
give aid if asked for it.
Asking Angels for Help Is Important
Asking for help from the angels is often forgotten by
most people. Angels give assistance to humans only when
asked. The angels are always willing and want to help
in any way possible. The key is to remember to ask.
A good way to remember that the angels are always here
is to wear an angel pendant or cherub jewelry. In this
way, the presence of the angels will always be in your
mind and in your prayers.
Communicating with Angels
Angels are our protectors. They are there for us when
we feel no one else cares. The angels work in the background
without our knowledge, giving us messages that help
us deal with any situation. Many times, angels save
us from both physical and spiritual harm.
Can You Hear the Angels?
Some people believe they can communicate with their
guardian
angels, following the guidance the angels have to
offer. Most of us, however, don't know how to hear the
angels. We ignore the messages and the help without
ever knowing the angel was with us.
A good way to keep in touch with the angels who guide
us is to pray to them, confirming our faith in their
presence. Having an actual reminder of the angels is
one way to keep our mind focused enough to hear the
messages from these spiritual beings whose sole purpose
is to protect us.
A Prayer Thanking Angels
O most holy angel of God, appointed by God to be
my guardian, I give you thanks for all the benefits
which you have ever bestowed on me in body and in soul.
I praise and glorify you that you condescended to assist
me with such patient fidelity, and to defend me against
all the assaults of my enemies. Blessed be the hour
in which you were assigned me for my guardian, my defender
and my patron. Amen.
Display Faith in Angels Proudly
Wearing an angel heart pendant or cherub necklace during
our workday is a wonderful affirmation of our trust
and faith in the power of the angels. Each time we look
in the mirror, the angel looks back. Just seeing the
angel pendant reminds us to quietly recite a prayer
asking for help, guidance, and safety as we go about
our daily lives.
The angels are God's gift to us. He offers us His love
and grace and sends his angels to guide us through our
lives. Display God's wonderful gifts proudly by wearing
cherub jewelry as an outward sign of your belief in
the angels who protect you. Give an angel pendant to
friends, bringing the help of God's angels to their
lives, as well.
