When I was praying about this post, God told me to talk about angels today.
There are some common misconceptions about angels. Now we know from scripture that there are many types of angels in Heaven and many are described as having wings. But we know that when angels have appeared to people they are usually male and have no wings. I only know of two angels that are called by name in the Bible and they are Michael and Gabriel.
The classes of angels are archangel (Jude 9, 1 Thess. 4:16), seraphs (Isaiah 6:2), cherubim (Eze 10:1-3), angels with authority and dominion and ministering spirits.
I've heard many people talk of having lost a loved one and saying that now this person is an angel in heaven watching over them. This is incorrect. Humans and angels are completely different beings. Humans never become angels!
For humans were created in the image of God!
Angels were created to worship God and all angels were created good. But when satan fell from heaven, we know that numerous angels followed him and we know these angels as demons today. They are now completely evil.
Most angels are still good and going about their duties of praising God. Some are sent to help humans. Psalms 91 is an example. They carry out many different duties for God, all of them serving God and many assisting humans. They are seen in the Bible doing such things as bringing warnings, and protecting people. But angels are not human and never will be. Angels never die and they never marry and are NOT to be worshipped! Colossians 2:18

I encourage you to do a study of your own through scripture! There is much to learn about angels and their functions.
About Me
- Kristi
- Hi, my name is Kristi, I have opened this blog because God led me to do so. I want people to come here to be encouraged and built up in the Lord. I make a commit to do my best to write only what the Lord leads me to, no more, no less. I always want you to hold my words up against the Word of God to make sure they line up. Don't ever just take my word on something, go to the Bible and see if it's true. If I was reading someone's devotional I would want to know who they are and what their fundamental beliefs are. So here is a little about me, I am a home-schooling mother of 4, who loves God with all her heart. My priorities in life are God and family first, with friends coming up closely after that. I believe in the deity of the Lord Jesus Christ, as God's son He was both human and man. I believe there is only one true God, revealed as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. I believe there is only one way to heaven and that is through making Jesus Christ the Lord of your life. I believe that we can agree to disagree and still have fellowship as Christians but these specific truths that I listed cannot be compromised on in any way.
