My Prayer:

 

 

 

Whosoever reads this page is covered with the Blood of Jesus Christ.

 

 

 

In the name of JESUS CHRIST, My Lord and Savior, I cover myself and anyone reading this page with the Blood of JESUS.  I ask that giant Warrior Angels are sent to protect us. As your war club and weapons of war, I break down, undam, and blow up all walls of protection around all those with evil devices, and the like, and I break the power of all that is not of God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and all evil darts sent my way, or my family member's way, or the way of those that love the Lord, I return it, and its demons to the sender, SEVENFOLD, and I bind it to them by the Blood of Jesus, and I cut and burn their ungodly silver cord and lay lines, in JESUS' Name. AMEN and AMEN

 

 

 

Matthew 2:13-15 (New Standard)

 

 

13 an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. "Get up," he said, "take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him." 14 So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15 where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."

Egytian Religion

 

 

• Ancient Egyptian religion was not a Sun cult per se, but a cult of creation, i.e. a cult whose primary aim was to celebrate and re-enact perpetually the myth of the creation of the Universe. The creation of the Universe was the one great mystery of Egypt from the beginning to the end of its mighty civilization.

 

• The true object of worship in ancient Egyptian religion was not the Sun-god but the creator-god, who personified the creation of the Universe.

 

• The Sun was a created body in which the light of the creator-god had been made gloriously manifest. The rising of the Sun signified the first light of creation. In its daily cycle, the Sun re-enacted the death and rebirth of the creator-god, i.e. the death and rebirth of the Universe.

 

• The pharaoh was not a Sun-king, as Egyptologists believe, but rather a creator-king, who embodied the spirit of the creator-god (known variously as Horus or ‘the son of Re’). The beginning of kingship can be traced to the beginning of the world, when Horus, the falcon-god, had flown up from the abyss, alighted on his perch, and been crowned with the Sun and the Moon.

 

• All Egyptian ritual was aimed at re-enacting the creative act in which the creator had established right order (maat) at the beginning of time. Every city the king established was ‘the first’ city; every temple he commissioned was ‘the first’ temple; every obelisk he raised was ‘the first’ obelisk, or Benben; and if he built a pyramid, it was ‘the first’ pyramid. By means of magic rituals and spells, performed on an annual, seasonal, monthly, and even daily basis, the power of the creator-god was rejuvenated and the forces of chaos were re-shackled. The king himself – as an incarnation of both Horus and Seth – personified this ongoing struggle. With the king at the helm, the sky would never fall, the Sun disc would never be hidden, the Nile would never run dry, and the land would never sink into the abyss.

 

• Each major city in Egypt claimed to be a microcosm of the primeval mound. The city thus paid tribute to the fundamental importance of the creation myth.

 

• The Egyptian temple was a simulacrum of creation. The floor of the temple was the primeval mound; the ceiling was the sky; and its pillars and obelisks froze the mythical moment when the sky had been separated from the earth. Beneath its floor lay the primeval ocean and underworld, whilst outside, the enclosure wall symbolized the celestial ocean that bounded the Universe.

 

• The Egyptian obelisk was a phallic symbol, its pyramidal apex representing the seed of creation, otherwise known as the Benben Stone. The erection of the obelisk re-enacted the moment when the creator-god had inseminated the sky-goddess for the conception and birth of the stars, the Sun, and the Moon.

 

• In death, the king underwent the same transformation as had been experienced by the creator-god at the beginning of time. Or, otherwise said, the death and rebirth of the king re-enacted the death and rebirth of the creator-god, i.e. the death and rebirth of the Universe.

 

• The Pyramid Texts – such a puzzle to scholars – make sense as a ritualistic re-enactment of the events of creation, in which the king played the part of the creator-god. The king’s body was thus mummified and revivified, just as the creator-god had been reassembled and brought back to life at the beginning of time. At this, the king’s soul separated from its body and ascended to the sky, just as the soul of the creator-god had originally done, and brought the Universe into being in all its diverse splendor. The various afterlife destinies of the king in the Pyramid Texts – the celestial ocean, the stars, the Sun and the Moon – are thus not contradictory, as Egyptologists imagine, but rather represent complementary ideas in the myth of creation.

 

• The true pyramid was a symbol of the creation, its capstone, benbenet, recalling the insemination of the sky for the conception and birth of the stars, the Sun, and the Moon. (Hence the solar, stellar and lunar aspects of the pyramid’s symbolism, which are not contradictory but complementary.) To build the pyramid was to re-enact the creation, the miracle of the one reflecting the miracle of the other.

Judaism

 

 

 

The religion of Judaism cannot be separated from the history of its people. The founder was the first great Jewish prophet, Abraham (who some books mention was ascended master El Morya). Abraham's teacher was the great spiritual master, Melchizedek. The two greatest prophets of the Jewish religion were Abraham and Moses (who was Zoroaster).

 

The God of Abraham was called El Shaddai. The God of Moses was called YHAH--"I Am That I Am". In Hebrew this is pronounced Ehyeh Asher Ehyeh. Transloators of the bible later changed it to Jehovah, which was not really an accurate translation. Another name for God was used in the Old Testament was Elohim. The Elohim are the creator Gods who helped God create the universe.

 

Judaism is a strongly Earthed focused religion. It is more concerned with this life than the afterlife. The main focus is that of ethics and doing God's will.  The heart of the Jewish religious is set down in the Torah, which is the five books of Moses. Jusaism also relies on the Talmud which sets down teachings, legends, and laws by which the Jewish people are to live.

 

The cocnept of doing good deeds is called "mitzvah". Judaism sees man as having free will and being constantly faced with the choice bewteen good and evil.  The Jewish path is one of loving God and trying to be like him. Traditional Judaism does not accept reincarnation, but there is some belief in an afterlife. In the kabbalistic aspect of Juddaism, which is Jewish mystciism, reincarnation is embrassed.

 

There are three branches of Judaism: orthodox - conservative - and reformed

The three branches agree on most matters of theology but not on how Judaim should be practised.  The acknowledged foundations of Judaism are the Principles of Faith, the Ten Commandments, the Golden Rule, and the Law of Holiness.

 

Sabbath services are held on Friday evenings at sundown and Saturday mornings. There are no pictures or images of God in the temples because of the commandment against graven images.  The chief officer in the synagogue is the Rabbi-or teacher. The Jewish state is Israel which means Jacob--son of Abraham. The children of Israel where his twelve sons which made up the twelve tribes.

 

Some of the major prophets wrer Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Samuel (Saint Germian), Joshua (Jesus), Elijah (John the Baptist), Amos, Hosea, and Mica.

 

 

 

 

 

African Religions

 

 

Religion has always played a major part in the different cultures of Africa.   Each group of people in separate regions of the continent have creation stories that tie them directly to the God or Gods they worship.  Usually the God would create the Earth and animals and last would create the humans to take dominion over the region in which the people happen to inhabit.

 

The four primary sources for the study of African religion are the:

Oral traditions that are told from parents to children and priests to the people for centuries.
Archeological and linguistic evidence tells of the remaining of the ancient people1s beliefs by physical evidence of their religion and way of life and the speech patterns
that have evolved over the years.
The religions that are still practiced give a definitive view of the way religions were practiced in the old days.
The arts and sacred spaces have to do with what is considered Holy by the different practicing groups.

Many beliefs common among different African religions appear in their creation stories such as:

The spiritual cosmos populated by divine beings, sometimes in a hierarchial order.
The belief of Earth and material life as created. A multitude of Gods and other spirits. The role of ancestors. A belief in sacred places and spaces such as a mountain that God inhabits. Males and females as parts of the cosmic scheme. Idea of society being organized around values and traditions drawn from common beginnings in history.
The religious leaders in many of Africa's religions have tried, sometimes in vain, to preserve the society from foreigners encroaching upon their lands and customs. Their role has always been to preserve the histories and traditions of the people. They teach the ways of survival to the people, be it wedding procedures or planting times the village priest is there to and serve through the God. The rituals practiced in many traditional African societies are all connected by the belief of being stepping stones to the ultimate goal of death and the afterlife. There are rituals that enhance all of the transitional stages of life such as birth, puberty, initiation into adulthood, marriage, having children, old age, death and life after death. The rituals allow the people celebrating to know what is expected of them in the next stage of their life and what is socially acceptable.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Buddhism

 

 

 

Siddhartha Guatama was born into the house of a wealthy king or feudal baron of the Sakya clan in what is now Nepal. Siddhartha's father sheltered him from the harsh realities of the world by surrounding him with only pleasant things.  Siddhartha did not know of human suffering, sickness, advanced age or death until he chanced upon a man suffering from old age. He soon learned of human disease and of death.


 

These things stayed in his mind and he began to think of them as being inescapable. He gave up on his normal life of distractions and went on a personal search for the life where age and death would not matter. Siddhartha Guatama searched the greatest Hindu masters for wisdom in his search for enlightenment.


 

He learned from them all he could but did not find the answer he was searching for.  His next step was to join a group of ascetics, to open his mind by sacrificing his body, but that did not work either. He suffered more than his ascetic brothers and almost died as the result of it. This caused him to try another route to his goal of enlightenment, by way of strict thought and concentration.


 

He sat down under a peepul tree (later known as the Bo tree) and with intense concentration and will power he was able to reach total enlightenment and become the Buddha. The teachings of the Buddha reached thousands in his native India.


 

Siddhartha Guatama was born as a ruler and became the Buddha which made him a priest, he also lived impoverished and begged for food. As an acquaintance of all three castes and able to be comfortable among them all he was able to give his message to a wide variety of people. 

Four noble truths;
Life is suffering
Life's dislocation is desire
The cure to desire is the overcoming of that desire
Describes how to cure desire by the Eightfold Path:
The Eightfold path shows the way to enlightenment by overcoming desire
. Right views-Define the problem.
Right intent- Are you sure you want enlightenment?
Right Speech-Take care in what you say.
Right Conduct-(5 precepts)
Do not kill,
Do not steal,
Do not lie,
Do not be unchaste,
Do not drink intoxicants
Right Livelihood-Engage in occupations that promote life and spiritual progress. Right Effort- Will yourself to continue and you will reach you goal. Right Mindfulness-Become aware of why and how you do everyday things. Right concentration- Your mind should be fine tuned to not stray from what you are thinking.

The Eightfold path of the Buddha is taught by all of the sects existing today.  Emphasis is placed on different aspects of the path but the ultimate goal is the same, enlightenment.  The two main branches of Buddhism are the Mahayana(Big raft) which is for the layman and the Theravada(the way of the Elders) or sometimes known as the Hinayana because of it's appeal only to a few in search of personal enlightenment.


Theravada Buddhism seems to adhere closer to the Buddha1s original teaching and uses meditation to find wisdom.  Mahayana Buddhism is more liberal with the teachings of the Buddha. The teachings of the Buddha are still prominent but in order to be more palatable to a wider range of people, local customs and beliefs such as deities and mysticism have become enmeshed with the teachings of Buddha.

 

 

 

 

 

 


Paganism

 


Paganism has been broadly defined as anyone involved in any religious act, practice, or ceremony which is not Christian. Jews and Muslims also use the term to refer to anyone outside their religion. Others define it as religions outside of Christianity, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, while some simply define it as being without a religion.

In the strictest sense, paganism refers to the authentic religions of ancient Greece and Rome as well as surrounding areas. It originated from the Neolithic (Stone Age) era. The term, pagan, is derived from the Latin word, paganus, which means a country dweller. The pagan usually has a belief in many gods (polytheistic), but only one is chosen as the one to worship which represents the chief god and supreme godhead.

As Christianity progressed into the present age, a pagan became referred to anyone not being a Christian, and paganism denoted a non-Christian belief or religion. If the religion did not fit into the Judeo-Christian-Islamic or Eastern mould, then one practicing that religion was said to be involved in paganism.

 

Paganism – What is the history?


History records that worship of many gods, goddesses, and deities was viewed by people as important in worship. It was thought that everything had a spirit and was polytheistic, so people had gods and goddesses of the forest, sea, and all aspects of nature.

When the civilizations began to change and develop, the gods grew and changed with the people as they began to acquire gods of their occupations, or gods relevant to their village life. The old gods remained, but were changed or conformed to the changing lives of the people. Gods played an important role in every aspect of society influencing everything from laws and customs to general workings of the community. Reincarnation (rebirth of the body into another bodily form) was believed by the people, but they did not believe in the existence of heaven and hell.

Today, Paganism (neo-paganism) celebrates the Earth, living creatures, nature, and so on. Most modern-day pagans believe in more than one god, while others are atheistic.

 

Paganism – What are some pagan systems and religions?

American pagans practice a variety of forms of traditions, but the most popular are Celtic, Greco-Roman, Native American, ancient Egyptian, and Norse. Kabbalah: During the Middle Ages, this Jewish mystical and magical system developed. Shamanism: This tradition is practiced by the Native American cultures. Drumming is the technique used, and in traditional societies, the shaman travels to the spirit realm to gain information regarding the community’s needs like healing or spiritual growth. Egyptian: This is very popular today, and involves complex spiritual and magical systems centering on death and rebirth. It developed in ancient Egypt when priestesses and priests became known for their level of knowledge and skill in magical arts. Druidism: The original Druids were priestesses and part of the judicial class of the ancient Celts. Discordianism: This began as a Buddhist practice with the main idea being “existence is orderly chaos.” Meditative procedures, confusion and enlightenment, chaos and order, pain and pleasure are revealed as inseparable parts of a total vision of reality.

 

 

 

 


 Hinduism

 

 

 

Hinduism embraces a great diversity of beliefs , a fact that can be initially confusing to westerners accustomed to creeds, confessions, and carefully-worded belief statements. One can believe a wide variety of things about God, the universe and the path to liberation and still be considered a Hindu.

 

 

This attitude towards religious belief has made Hinduism one of the more open-minded religions when it comes to evaluating other faiths. Probably the most well-known Hindu saying about religion is: "Truth is one; sages call it by different names."

 

 

However, there are some beliefs common to nearly all forms of Hinduism that can be identified, and these basic beliefs are generally regarded as boundaries outside of which lies either heresy or non-Hindu religion. These fundamental Hindu beliefs include: the authority of the Vedas (the oldest Indian sacred texts) and the Brahmans (priests); the existence of an enduring soul that transmigrates from one body to another at death (reincarnation); and the law of karma that determines one's destiny both in this life and the next.

 

 

Note that a specific belief about God or gods is not considered one of the essentials, which is a major difference between Hinduism and strictly monotheistic religions like Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Sikhism. Most Hindus are devoted followers of one of the principal gods Shiva, Vishnu or Shakti, and often others besides, yet all these are regarded as manifestations of a single Reality.

 

 

The ultimate goal of all Hindus is release (moksha) from the cycle of rebirth (samsara). For those of a devotional bent, this means being in God's presence, while those of a philosophical persuasion look forward to uniting with God as a drop of rain merges with the sea.

 

In Hinduism, there is not just one purpose of human life, but four: Dharma - fulfilling one's purpose; Artha - prosperity; Kama - desire, sexuality, enjoyment; and Moksha - enlightenment.

"All Religions are True: I came to the conclusion long ago … that all religions were true and also that all had some error in them, and whilst I hold by my own, I should hold others as dear as Hinduism. So we can only pray, if we are Hindus, not that a Christian should become a Hindu … But our innermost prayer should be a Hindu should be a better Hindu, a Muslim a better Muslim, a Christian a better Christian." ~Gandhi

 

 

 

 


Islam

 

 

 

Islam is very similar to Judaism. Both are semitic religions and share the common ancestry of Abraham. The main points of Islam are included in these five pillars:
The Five Pillars of Islam:

First is the confession of faith known as the Shahadah. "There is no God but God, and Muhammad is His Prophet." The affirmation of a monotheistic belief and the faith in the authenticity of the Koran that Muhammad transmitted from God. The second pillar is the canonical prayer. Muslims must stay constant in prayer and keep their lives in perspective. Submitting one's will to God's as it's rightful sovereign. Prayer must be done five times a day (unless there is a reasonable explanation not to), In the morning when you first wake up, when the sun reaches its zenith, when the sun reaches its mid decline, sunset, and before retiring for the evening.The standard prayer consists of praise to God, gratitude to God and supplication. Charity is the third pillar of Islam. Islam understands that not everyone is financially equal and the Koran states that 2 1/2% or an annual one-fortieth of the middle and upper class' income and holdings should be given to the poor. The fourth pillar of Islam is the observance of Ramadan the month on the Islamic calendar that corresponds to Muhammad's initial revelation and his Hijrah from Mecca to Medina ten years later. It is a time for fasting during daylight hours. During evening hours food may be taken in moderation. The point behind fasting is to make you think, to teach self discipline, underscores your dependence on God, a reminder of human frailty and dependence and sensitizes compassion by allowing one to share the feeling of hunger. The fifth pillar is pilgrimage. Once during his or her lifetime men and women should make the pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca where God's revelation was first revealed if they are financially able. The purpose is to heighten one's devotion to God. It is also a reminder of human equality for all pilgrims must dress in a sheet like garment that does not show rank or social status and allows people from all over the world to worship God without social restrictions.  The social teachings of the Koran are broad and encompass many aspects of Islamic life. Economically a society's health requires goods be appropriately distributed. Wealth is to stay in circulation and business is to be encouraged as long as the guidelines set by the Koran are followed. The role of women has greatly improved in the Arabic world due to the adoption of the Islamic faith. Before Islam women were treated with contempt and girls were even buried alive at birth. The Koran still leaves open the possibility of the equality of women depending on the customs of the Muslim nations as they become modernized. Islam sanctified marriage, required that a woman give free consent before marriage, and even included them in family inheritances, not fully but half of a man's, which is more that the previous nothing before Islam. Racial equality is stressed in Islam. Racism has no precedent in Islam and cannot be accommodated to it. Regarding the use of force, the Koran does not counsel pacifism as does Christianity but teaches forgiveness and the return of good for evil when the circumstances warrant. Justice requires that wrongdoers be punished to the full extent of the injury that they impart. Islam is not forced on others for in the Koran it is written- "Let there be no compulsion in religion" (2:257).

There have been many misconceptions about the forcing of Islam on other peoples. Muslim conquerors were very lenient with other religions especially with Judaism and later Christianity. Islam has reached every corner of the world and even Muhammad has been regarded the most influential person in history.

"I believe in Islam. I am a Muslim and there is nothing wrong with being a Muslim, nothing wrong with the religion of Islam. It just teaches us to believe in Allah as the God. Those of you who are Christian probably believe in the same God, because I think you believe in the God Who created the universe. That's the One we believe in, the One Who created universe--the only difference being you call Him God and we call Him Allah. The Jews call Him Jehovah. If you could understand Hebrew, you would probably call Him Jehovah too. If you could understand Arabic, you would probably call Him Allah...." ~El-Hajj Malik El-Shabazz (Malcolm X)

What Do Christians Believe?

 

 

When a person examines the Bible without any organization or denominational views a person will see what Christians are to believe.  When I say, "What do Christians believe?", I am referring to those who are born again, followers of what Jesus, the prophets and apostles taught.  There are many Christian denominations that have the basics of what Christians believe and the following beliefs will be the united doctrines of what Christians believe.

 

What do Christians believe about God?

Christians believe that there is only one true God known as Monotheism. (Isaiah 43:10)

Christians believe that God is the creator of all things. (Genesis 1)

Christians believe that God is from everlasting to everlasting. (Psalms 90:2)

Christians believe that God loves mankind in which Jesus came to give His life to offer eternal life to anyone who would receive Him. (John 3:14-21)

Christians believe that God will reward or judge mankind according to what they have done. (Christians - 2 Corinthians 5:10/ non-Christians - Revelation 20:11-15)

Christians believe that Christ was God manifest in the flesh.  (One of the supporting scritptures - Isaiah 9:6. Another one is the Gospel according to John 1:1-14)

What do Christians believe about the Trinity?

Christians believe that the Trinity doctrine is Biblical and can be understood.

Christians believe that the Trinity is the one true God revealed in three distinct persons as the Father, the Son (Jesus), and the Holy Spirit.

Christians believe that the Father is identified as God. (Galatians 1:3)

Christians believe that Jesus is identified as God. (John 1:1-3, John 1:14-18, 1 John 1:1-4,        1 John 5:20)

Christians believe that the Holy Spirit is identified as God. (John 14:16-17, John 16:7-15,     Acts 5:3-4, 1 Corinthians 12:4-18, Hebrews 10:15-18)

What do Christians believe about the coming of Jesus Christ?

Christians believe that Jesus was the Messiah to come, born of a virgin, crucified and rose again bodily on the third day. (Isaiah 7:14, Isaiah 9:6, Isaiah 53, Matthew 1:18-23, Luke 2:10-11, Luke 4:18, Luke 24:39-49, John 2:19-21, John 20:25-29, Acts 2:22-36)

Christians believe that Jesus is the only way unto the Father. (John 14:6)

Christians believe that Jesus was the God-man.  That means that Jesus was a distinct person from the Father but was by nature God in the flesh. (John 1:1, John 1:14-18, John 5:18-23,  John 8:24, John 8:58, John 20:28-29, Philippians 2:5-8, Colossians 2:9, 1 John 1:1-4, 1 John 5:20, Revelation 1:17-18, Revelation 22:12-20)

Christians believe that Jesus came to reveal the heart of the Father, and that Jesus was grace and truth manifested in the flesh. (John 1:17-18)

Christians believe that Jesus Christ is the true Savior for mankind and that salvation is found in no one else. (Matthew 10:32-33, John 8:24, John 14:6, Acts 4:12, 1 Corinthians 15:1-17)

What do Christians believe about sin and the need for being saved?

Christians believe that mankind is fallen with the nature of sin. (Romans 3:23, Romans 5:12-21)

Christians believe that sin is not mystical or a myth, but that sin is a reality which mankind must be saved from by turning to God's way of being saved. (Romans 5:8-11, 1 Timothy 1:15)

Christians believe that sin is lawlessness.  That means anyone that goes against what God has revealed to us to live by and trust in. (Romans 14:23, James 4:17, 1 John 3:4)

Christians believe that all mankind has fallen short to the glory of God and that no one is without sin. (Ecclesiastes 7:20, Romans 3:23, 1 John 1:10)

Christians believe that salvation is available for anyone to receive. (John 3:14-18, John 5:24, John 20:31, Romans 10:9-13, 2 Peter 3:9, 1 John 1:7-9, 1 John 5:10-13, Revelation 3:20)

In conclusion Christians believe what the Bible teaches in context.  These are the basics of what Christians believe and unite on.  You may say, "Who made you the authority on what Christians are to believe?"  My response is, if a person claims to be Christian than their beliefs will line up Biblically.  Many groups that claim to be Christian twist the Scriptures to their own liking and in many circumstances are taught only to believe what their organization teaches, even if it does not line up with the Bible. There are other beliefs of what Christians believe but these are the essentials of what makes a person a true Christian, Biblically.  God bless you and may you grow in the grace and knowledge our Lord and Savior, Christ Jesus.

 

 

"but grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory, both now and to the day of eternity. Amen."

(2 Peter 3:18 NASB)

 

 

Yes, we believe what is written in the Bible

 

But we know this;

 

We cannot contain God in a Book. 

 

He is of and in All things. 

 

He Lives... always!

 

God is a SPIRIT

 

The SPIRIT is NOT Religious

 

The SPIRIT is SPIRITUAL

Set your mind on things above,

not on things on the earth.

for you died,

and your life is hidden

with Christ in God.

The Whole Armor of God

 

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles      of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;

16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; 19 And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel, 20 For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

The word 'Angel' is taken from the Greek word 'Angelos' which means 'Messenger'. Angels are those souls who from the beginning of creation never lost contact with the Creator, never had physical lives, and seek only to fulfill the will of the Creator. Angels can vary in form, depending on the needs and expectations of those requesting help. They may appear as either male or female, but are neither. They are beings of light energy. They came into being as a link between the Creator and humanity. They bring us messages to guide and protect us during the spiritual transformation that is taking place now on the planet. Angels are different in many respects from Spirit Guides. They usually come with a frequency of unconditional love whereas spirit guides have personalities and are often humorous and talk a lot!  

 

In the Middle Ages Angels were depicted as bringing messages, such as the birth of Christ. They were usually depicted as human-like beings, which huge wings, halos, and radiating white light. 

 

Angels have been recognized by major religions as having a very important place in the overall plan of creation. The idea of Angels is significant in Judeo-Christian religious thought. In both the Old and New Testaments, angels are identified as belonging to specifically named groups, in a kind of celestial hierarchy, consisting of Nine Orders. Before the advent of Christianity, angels as messengers had their belief counterparts in Ancient Greece, where Hermes - (Thoth - Tehuti) was considered a messenger of God, and in Rome, where he was called Mercury. The Vikings also had a messenger God called Hermod. 

 

As we prepare to return to a higher level of consciousness many people are connecting with Angels. Though they usually do not remain with one person exclusively, they can come to when you call them.
