1-A ANGELS Who do Angels serve? Hebrews 1:13,14 But to which of the angels has He ever said: “Sit at My right hand, Till I make Your enemies Your footstool”? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who inherit salvation?

4-A ANGELS Angels appeared to Abraham and Lot as real beings. (Genesis 18:1-8 & 19:1- 3) Genesis 19:1 Now the two angels came to Sodom in the evening, and Lot was sitting in the gate of Sodom. When Lot saw them, he rose to meet them, and he bowed himself with his face toward the ground.

4-A ANGELS Angels eat. Psalms 78:24,25 bread of heaven Had rained down manna on them to eat, And given them of the bread of heaven. Man ate angel’s food; He sent them food to the full.

4-A ANGELS Jesus heaven heaven 11- who also said, Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.

4-A ANGELS At the last day when Jesus comes, our natural bodies are changed to glorious spiritual bodies, Phil. 3:20,21; I Cor. 15:44; then we will be equal to the angels, Luke 20:35, Nor can they die anymore, for they are equal to the angels and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.

6-A ANGELS Do we have an Angel assigned to us? Matthew 18:10 always see the face of My Father who is in heaven Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.

6-A ANGELS In speaking of the Father’s watch care over His children, Jesus mentions ”their angels”, showing that to every child of God an angel is assigned. Among those countless billions of angels, there is one assigned to watch over you day and night.

7-A ANGELS Does your Angel help you? Psalms 91:11,12 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12- In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone. Angels will help you on your journey to heaven.

8-A ANGELS There is a promise of help when we obey. Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.

All the holy angels will come to earth when Jesus comes in His glory.

9-A ANGELS Angels will help you to be ready for that great day when Jesus returns. Don’t you think it is wonderful that God has given us our very own Angel to help us be ready? End
