ANGELS
"Every child may gain knowledge as Jesus did. As we try to become acquainted with our heavenly Father through HIS Word, angels will draw near, our mind will be strengthened, our characters will be elevated and refined. We shall become more like our Saviour" (E.G.White, Desire of Ages, 70) in action and thought. What a glorious promise!
Angels deliver us from evil: Psalm 91:11 (King James Version)
For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.
"The strong opposition we often meet in accomplishing GOD's work can sometimes overcome us. Occasionally the daily struggles we face, not to mention the spiritual battles we fight, break down the defenses of our souls. The barriers established by habitual prayer, devotion, and ministry sometimes begin to crumble and doubt begins to obscure the leading of GOD's Spirit. We see our condition as helpless: but it is not helpless!" "We can count on angels to bring us messages of hope and encouragement just when we need them most." (Tony Philip Oreso, Adventist World-NAD April 2009)
