GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT ANGELS

LET'S BEGIN OUR ANGEL STORIES

What is the most commonly asked question after are they real?  How many angels are there and how many are there for me?  

 It is common opinion that there are officially nine orders of angels:  angels, archangels, virtues, powers, principalities, dominations, thrones, cherubim and seraphim.  Michael ~ Raphael ~ Gabriel ~ Ariel ~ Azrael ~ Chamuel ~ Haniel ~ Jeremiel ~ Jophiel ~ Metatron ~ Raguel ~ Raziel ~ Sandalphon ~ Uriel ~ Zadkiel are the names of the most recognized archangels.  Their Divine counterparts are Faith, Christine, Charity, Hope, Mother Mary, Aurora, Amethyst. 

How many angels do you have?  Everyone has one that is their "Never Leave You" angel or commonly known as your Guardian Angel.  If you ask the angels how many you have they will say, "All of us!"  Angels have assignments or jobs to perform like we do.  They have their area of expertise so to speak.  Some are angels who show mercy, some help with healing, others carry great wisdom and some are there to help with problems like finances,  romance, etc.  There are warrior angels who will provide protection, guidance and security.  The thing to understand though, is that you must illicit their assistance by asking them directly or praying to God to send help. They have their areas of expertise but need to be asked before they are allowed to intervene on your behalf.  

How does one become an authority on angels, an Angelologist?  I have no clue but I do know what the Bible has to say about them.  I am sure everyone can agree that angels are God's messengers.  The following are a couple scriptures referencing angels of God.

Hebrews 13:2 - Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

How many angels are there...evidently there is a virtual sea of angels that exist in the ethereal world.  

Daniel Chapter 7

¹⁰A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened.

There is reported to be 'a Heavenly Host of angels' watching over us humans...

reminding us about our angels and their presence in our lives.For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

Obviously there are numerable references in scripture regarding the ever-presence of angelic beings.  In the next couple of days I will be sharing with you, dear reader, my personal experiences with angels and do my best to describe how they appeared.  See you tomorrow.
