Are Angels Real?

What’s your opinion of angels? When Angels arrived on the scene, why did they say “Do not be afraid”? Are they around today?
The word “Angel” means “Messenger”.
They point to God and represent Him. They protect and guard. “He has put his angels in charge of you to watch over you wherever you go.” (Psalm 91:11 NCV)
But how do they play into your and my life today?
Well, first of all, we have no idea what they look like and I suppose they can appear as an ordinary person. Not necessarily as I illustrated below.
However, they must have been incredible in “appearance and presence” since many biblical encounters they said “Do not be afraid.”
One of my favorite verses in the Bible is when Elisha prayed for his servant to see what was really going on in the spiritual world. Here’s what happened:
“Then Elisha prayed, ‘Lord, open my servant’s eyes, and let him see.’ The Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.”
2 Kings 6:17 (NCV)
Elisha’s servant thought they were surrounded by danger, but what he didn’t realize is that God had already surrounded their enemies. He just couldn’t see it. Not yet.
I believe in angels. And you never may know if you have encountered one. Paul told the Hebrews:
“Remember to welcome strangers, because some who have done this have welcomed angels without knowing it.”
Hebrews 13:2 (NCV)
Do you believe in angels? It takes faith to believe in what we can’t always see.
Sometimes we just need to ask God to open our eyes. Let us see what He sees. Let us believe that He’s already working things out, even if we don’t understand it yet.
Just because we can’t see it doesn’t mean it’s not happening. God sees it. It’s important that we lean into God and trust His ways. His ways are in our best interest.
“We live by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7 NCV)
So, how’s your faith doing?
What are you needing right now? Does something look impossible? Have you stopped praying? Have you stopped believing?
Please remember, it’s not too late and it’s not too far gone.
Just as Angels are real, so is God, so is the Holy Spirit, so is Jesus Christ. God would not send His Son only to abandon you and I now.
GOD, open our eyes. Help us to trust You when we can’t see the whole picture. Help us believe that You are working in ways we don’t always understand. Give us peace and confidence like Elisha had. IJNIP amen ♥️
