Guardian angels, one of their purposes by God

Last month I posted more about my continuing teachings about the true nature of angels. Remember, I’m not teaching anything that is not scriptural. What I’m doing is stripping away manipulative pagan concepts that have crept into many people’s minds, and also, to put it more positively, to help people fully appreciate the application of knowledge of angels and their works.

I wrote about guardian angels and today at dinner I thought of another way to explain how to benefit from the knowledge of their existence even though you cannot see or dialogue with them. I was looking out at the parking lot as people arrived at this restaurant, and I thought about how none of them were thinking about the guardian angel that was right along with them. That’s cool; I’m not saying people are supposed to spend a lot of time thinking about their guardian angels. But it occurred to be to explain what happens when even a non believer has a passing thought about having a guardian angel.


Suppose you have a TV set and you turn it on. Maybe the kids had been playing with it, so instead of a channel that you normally watch coming on the screen, you get the static of an unused channel. So you cannot watch any programming, since none is offered on that channel, but you know the TV is on.


That is what it is like when you think about having a guardian angel. You have turned on your TV, the TV that exchanges signals with God. When you have a thought, and better yet, belief in the existence and presence of your guardian angel, even though you cannot “view that program” (dialogue with, see or hear the guardian angel) you are now tuned in on the frequency where you are in conscious dialogue with God. Everyone is always in unconscious dialogue with God. But when you think about the reality and presence of his gift to each human, their guardian angel, you are consciously opening the channels in general to God.


That is one of the reasons why God gave each human a guardian angel, yet made them entirely inaccessible so they cannot be relied on for typical human manipulative purposes (God knows humans all too well!) The real reasons God gave each human a guardian angel is as a sign of God’s faith and love for each person, no matter how lowly or anonymous they are, and as a way to check on a conscious basis the open channel that everyone has to God, if only they would use it. Just thinking of one’s guardian angel is like sending a small “ping” of faith to God, and getting a “ping” in response. It’s like you sent a text message to God, “I have a guardian angel, at least that much I can believe,” and in reply you get a text message from God that says, “Yes, you do have a guardian angel.”


I hope you find this helpful.
