They are assigned to watch over us and protect us throughout our lives. They are with us even when we don’t recognize them and they go to war for us to get our prayers answered. They are special messengers of God and they are our angels.
When we talk about angels, it is a topic that raises many questions.
What are angels and are they real?
Do I have angels watching over me?

What are angels?
Angels are real spirit beings created by God. They are heavenly messengers who seek to do God’s will by listening to His voice and His Word. God uses his angels to rescue and protect his people and bring honor, praise and worship to their name. There are many different types of angels with different ranks and authority. Contrary to what some believe, there are good angels and bad angels.
Good angels are holy angels who seek to do God’s will and who worship only God. Evil angels are demons or what we call fallen angels. These are angels who seek to deceive you and lead you away from worshiping God. They seek glory and worship for themselves and their desire is to exalt themselves above God.
God assigned us angels to watch over us and protect us, but we must put angels in their own place. Angels are not gods and they are not our spirit guides. Angels should never be worshiped, prayed or called for spiritual guidance. Only God is to be worshiped and praised. When we pray, we should always direct our prayers to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. When we need guidance in our life, we must invoke the Holy Spirit to guide us into all truth and justice.
The holy angels always direct worship and praise to God. An example of this is in the Book of Revelation when the angel gave John a vision. Revelation 19: 9-10 says: “And the angel said to me: Write this: Blessed are the guests at the wedding of the Lamb. And he added: These are true words that come from God.” Then I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said: No, don’t worship me. I am a servant of God, just like you and your brothers and sisters who testify of their faith in Jesus. Worship only God. Because the essence of prophecy is to bear a clear testimony of Jesus.
Psalm 103: 20-21 says: “Praise the Lord, angels, mighty ones who carry out his plans, listening to his every command. Yes, praise the Lord, armies of angels who serve him and do his will.”
This scripture reminds us that praise by the angels of God is given to the Lord, not to the angels. It tells us that the mighty angels in heaven carry out God’s plan while listening to His commandments, which is His Word. Finally, He shows us that this mighty army of angels only serves Him as they seek to do God’s will.
Angels watch over me
God has assigned angels as his special messengers to each of our lives to watch over us and protect us. They keep us away and even send them to warn us of danger. The Bible says that the Lord will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will hold you up with their hands so you don’t even hurt your foot on a rock.
The Book of Matthew describes to us how angels even ministered to Jesus when he was led by the Spirit into the desert to be tempted by the devil. He had fasted forty days and forty nights and was very hungry. It was during that time that the devil approached him and said, “If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become loaves.” But Jesus said to him: “No! The Scriptures say: People do not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of God.”
Then the devil took him to the holy city, Jerusalem, to the highest point of the temple, and said to him: “If you are the Son of God, jump! Because the Scriptures say: ‘He will command his angels to protect you. And They will hold you up with their hands so that you won’t even hurt your foot on a stone. Jesus replied: “The Scriptures also say: ‘You must not test the Lord your God.
Then the devil took him to the top of a very high mountain and showed him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory. He told Jesus that I will give you everything, if you will kneel and worship me. Then Jesus replied, “Get out of here, Satan,” because the Scriptures say, “You must worship the Lord your God.”
and serve only him. So the devil left, and angels came and took care of Jesus.
Jesus showed us the perfect example of how we should use God’s Word to fight Satan, demonic voices, and attacks. It is only through the Word of God that we can win the war. Every time Satan came up with a temptation, Jesus used God’s Word against him. It was then that the angels of God came and ministered to Jesus while listening to the spoken Word. The angels heard the commandments of God.
1 John 2: 15-16 says: “Love neither the world nor the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that it is in the world, the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes and the pride of life, is not of the Father, but of the world. “
Can we see angels?
The Bible tells us to keep loving each other as brothers and sisters and not to forget to show hospitality to strangers, because some who have done this have inadvertently entertained angels! God will send his angels among us here on Earth to carry out his assignments.
In Genesis 28: 11-22 we read about Jacobs’ dream. Jacob left Beersheba and was on his way to Haran when in the evening he arrived at a good place to establish a camp and stopped there for the night. Jacob found a stone to rest his head on and lay down to sleep. While he slept, he dreamed of a ladder that reached from earth to heaven. And he saw the angels of God going up and down the ladder. During this dream, God confirmed his promises to Jacob. Then Jacob woke up and said, “Surely the Lord is in this place, and I hadn’t even realized it!” But he was also afraid and said: “What a wonderful place this is! It is none other than the house of God, the very door to heaven!”
Jacob’s dream was a vision and an understanding of what happens in the spirit realm. God allowed Jacob to see the angels go up and down the ladder from heaven to earth. God confirmed to Jacob His word and His promises that He had given to his grandfather Abraham and his father Isaac. All these promises were being fulfilled and the angels were going between heaven and earth fulfilling the promises of God.
Angels on assignment
The way we assign our angels is by speaking the Word of God. They are waiting for the Word of God to be spoken during our prayers and our spoken word. We must be careful to put a guard over our mouths and say only what God says, not what we think or feel. The Word of God is the only authority in our lives. Start talking and declare God’s promises over your life. When you pray, pray the Word of God and when you are on your feet, stand firm in faith and watch the angels of God begin to move on your behalf.
