Angels …

Perhaps the biggest reason we know about angels already is because they have always played a role in the lives of our spiritual teachers and prophets.  Many references in the Bible point to their activities as messengers between those above and those on earth.  Some references identify them as warriors, some as healers.

The overriding purposes of all angels, no matter which position they hold, are service and assistance – to lift up the good and diminish the harmful, to increase the light, and to dispel the darkness.  Seek to create a personal relationship with angels the same way you would have a personal relationship with Uncle Jim, Dad, or Grandma in spirit.

There is a great deal of different information about angels.  Some books say there are four archangels; many say there are seven, nine, or even twelve.  But most books agree that angels are an order of beings separate unto themselves.  They don’t belong to the physical kingdom.  They have a very high frequency and a very pure energy.  And the thing that defines them most is the service that they bring to our lives.  For angels, this is their predominant purpose – service to God and service to humanity.  All you need to do to work with the angels is to realize that you are free to ask for the help they bring.

You can have a relationship with one of the major angels, even though you may be asking yourself, “Why would Gabriel be talking to me, when there are a million other people who want to talk to Gabriel?”  Well, that is the nature of the angelic realm.  There are legions and legions of angels, and we can have a personal relationship with the archangels and all their legions.  The only thing you need to decide is the angel you wish to call and why you are calling him.  If you are clear about the type of help that you need, it is easy to know which angel should assist you.

Over the next four issues I will highlight the four major archangels.  Between them, they could probably cover just about anything you’d need from the angelic realm.
