Angels are real. Angels are created beings. They were created before this world was created. We are told in the Bible that they are "ministering spirits sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation". There are the seraphim (the 6 winged angels) and the cherubim (the two winged angels). We are mostly familiar with seeing pictures of guardian angels who are the seraphims. Lucifer, who is now the devil, was once a gorgeous angel. Because of his desire to usurp the authority of God, there was war in heaven and he and his angels were cast out into the earth. One third of all the angels sided with Lucifer, and they are now the evil angels. However, two-thirds of the angelic host remained faithful to God, and these are the good angels.

Angels excel in strength, and have the ability to fly, come through solids, transform themselves, etc. They are thus spirit beings, unlike us. The Bible is clear. We were made a little lower than the angels. In size, power, strength, and abilities, angels are superior to mortal men. Angels do not promulgate or reproduce. It was noted on one occasion when the Russian astronauts first went into space, they wrote of seeing 3 angels, each about the size of a jumbo jet. They exclaimed the marvels of what they saw.

I know of many people who have encountered angels. One man told me of his encounter. He was working at an ice house. His helper did not come in to assist him, but an angel did. The next morning he learned that his helper had called in and told the company he would not be in. Two other employees planned to play a trick on him. They were sending the ice up to him fast. However, he and his helper did the job with no problem. The next day the two men confessed that they were worn out. My friend told them the Lord had sent an angel to assist him.

In a conversation I overheard, a woman was telling how she had toxemia, and was delivering her third child. She had suspected being toxemic, but her haughty now doctor assured her she was incorrect on the diagnosis. When it was time for the baby to be born, the attendants in the emergency room screamed out, "Why isn't toxemia written on her chart?" She had a very difficult time trying to deliver the baby, until a small nurse came to her rescue. This nurse assured her everything would be alright. The baby was born successfully, and she went to thank the nice nurse. Those who worked at the hospital maintained that no one of that
