"9Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways".
Psalm 91:9-11 NKJV
An Angel is a spiritual or heavenly being whom God sends as His special messenger or helper to human beings. They are not to be identified with God Himself because He created them (Psalms. 148:2,5). They serve under His direction and are obedient to His commands (Psalm. 103:20). Special functions of an angel are delivering God's messages to human beings (Luke 1:13), protecting God's people (Dan. 3:28), relieving human hunger and thirst (Gen. 21:17-19) and praising the name of the Lord (Psalm 103:20-21). Before the creation of the world, certain angels rebelled against God and therefore were cast out of heaven. The ringleader of this revolt was Satan.
Billy Graham wrote in one of his many books, everyone is assigned at least two angels. Now that is encouraging but have you ever seen them? Neither have I. However, I have known that they are around; time and time again I have been rescued from certain dangers. It is wonderful to know they are there. I don't believe that we should speak to them, God does that and sends them into action. Many would disagree with this and feel that we should send them out to do our bidding. Opinions differ and until proven wrong, I prefer my way. We must remember that angels are created by God just the same as we were and are messengers.
God gives His angels charge over us (This is where Billy Graham feels we have more than one angel). They are sent to keep charge over us and protect us. Someone may say,'If that is true, why do Christians die in accidents or murders?' I really don't know the answer to this. What I do know and believe is, that, if God said it, I believe it.
I am just grateful that God places his angels around us. We are protected in all directions; we are loved from all directions and he is with us from all directions.
