Psalm 103:20 NKJV
Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His Word, Heeding the voice of His Word.
Angels are real. They are God's messengers, who carry out His Will.
The Bible is explicit about these beings - even naming some - Gabriel and Michael for instance.
Many angels appeared to the shepherds to celebrate Jesus' birth:
Luke 2:13-14 TPT
Then all at once in the night sky, a vast number of glorious angels appeared, the very armies of heaven! And they all praised God, singing: [14] “Glory to God in the highest realms of heaven! For there is peace and a good hope given to the sons of men.”
We see one such precious angel in Gethsemane, strengthening Jesus, when He was so desolate and spiritually lonely, facing the terrufying prospect of the Cross.
Jesus explained that He could have called on armies of angels to deliver Him, when they came to arrest Him:
Matthew 26:53 NLT
Don't you realize that I could ask My Father for thousands of angels to protect us, and He would send them instantly?
Personally, I am so glad that we can call on the Lord to send His angels to help and watch over each one of us.
When going on a journey, I always ask the Lord to send His angels to protect the car and support the plane. Who knows what disaster they have averted?
Angels are not little fairy type creatures - no they are strong and focused on strictly obeying, blessing and gloryfying the Lord.
Praying or singing on your own?
Angels will join in with the praise of God. They can help and strengthen you too.
Like the hymn says:
"Angels help us to adore Him
You behold Him face to face"
Luke 1:19 NLT
Then the angel said, "I am Gabriel! I stand in the very Presence of God. It was He who sent me to bring you this good news!
Be aware that more are for you than against you, when you are facing stiff opposition to your faith.
You have the armies of heaven backing you up!
Join in the praise!
