Lesson about angels: they are all about God

I wrote a lot about angels a while back because they are always a popular topic, although they've been very wrongly depicted AND strangely forgotten at the same time. They had become these feminized "personalized" dolls, almost, and their spiritual content, say nothing of their constant amplification of God's will, ignored. So I wrote a few postings about what they are really like.

I often remind people that guardian angels accompany the soul of the new person, the new life, when it joins the embryo of the preborn baby, stay with them throughout pregnancy and life, and then return to God with the departed soul. So they are constantly with you. But there is an interesting paradox that I thought that I should introduce to you and then explain.

They are with you all the time.
Yet humans never seem to really remember they are there.
Humans try to personalize angels in general in some very un Biblical ways.
Yet a human never sees their guardian angel, except for the preborn who perish.

Yes, I thought that fourth point would get your attention.

One's guardian angel is with one all the time, from the first quickening of the embryonic cells to the moment of death. The angel is individual and unique, chosen by God for each person. (Just think, women who have twins, triplets, quads and quints, etc have that many guardian angels "in the womb" too!!!)

Guardian angels are a SIGN of God's love and presence. That is why it is OK and normal to both know that they are there all the time, but then forget about them personally most of the time, or virtually all of the time. If you could "see" your angel and "talk" to "him" or "her," they would do or say nothing at all but point back to God. That is what Jesus meant that the guardian angels of children "constantly face God" (in the context of what Jesus was explaining, he was warning those who might harm children that God knows in particular all that happens to a child "through" their guardian angel at all time and directly as events happen). Constantly facing God means there is no time delay, to put it in a modern term.

So a paradox is that everyone has a guardian angel, but you can't ever really dialogue with them. They are never "speaking" to you. They are there in order to witness to (be evidence of) God's love and continual "open channel" with every human being. Guardian angels do sometimes lend an inner voice of faith, and even secular warning of danger, but that cannot be overly dramatized as many do. They tend not to interfere because that is not their purpose, but they do provide spiritual strength and fortitude by their mere presence and that is the point. If guardian angels did not exist you would feel it, and the world would feel it, and the change would be terrible, a very depressive event that would be. Guardian angels maintain through their presence an alertness to spirituality and communication with God in everyone, even the non-believers and non-active faith participants. One way to think of it is that angels are like having a comfortable level of oxygen in the air to breathe. If they were not there, there would still be enough oxygen to exist as a human, but breathing would be constantly labored. You see what I mean? You don't think about the fact that our air is rich in oxygen, but you'd miss it if the amount was cut to just barely subsistence level. That is the primary purpose of guardian angels, to constantly attend to the Holy Spirit's presence on earth in each human.

Now, if you listen to people who have had near death experiences, they often explain about the great light that they see, and/or departed family members who come to greet them. Notice none of them say their guardian angel introduces themselves? That's because they don't. When a person dies the angel accompanies them to heaven, still unseen, and they immediately go on their way. So a human never sees their guardian angel with one exception. That exception is a preborn baby who dies. The guardian angel gives the soul the form that it is contained in because they never had a chance for the temple of the soul, the body, to fully form and for self awareness to take place. Therefore the guardian angel is visible to the preborn baby who perishes because the baby's soul becomes "self aware" by seeing and knowing the guardian angel.

I hope that this is helpful and I'm sure it is thought provoking. I do not want to make angel statue makers or angel ornament artists go out of business: I love them too, although I am not fond of the New Age wymen form of angels LOL. But it would be negligent of me if I did not do what the angels themselves do, which is constantly point back to God. Reading the Bible you will see that this is what all angels do. They don't have colorful hair and rainbow colored garments, with ornamentation and "personality." They are individual, each one of them, but not in a way humans can comprehend. But what any of them would "tell you" is that they are not to be worshipped or "beautified" in a human way. They are simply to be seen as great signs of God's continual open channel and involvement in every person's life. If you could "see" a real guardian angel, you would see the glow of the human like figure, as described in the Bible, but always pointing back toward God and expecting YOU to look in that direction too, not at them. They are very stern about that, I must tell you. They care about "their human" very much, but totally from within God's eyes and his glory, not from personal feelings of their own.
