God's Secret Agents It seems that Americans today are fascinated by the concept of angels, depicting them in everything from jewelry and Christmas decorations to movies and television programs. A poll conducted by Time magazine in 1993 reported that 69 percent of American adults believed in the existence of angels, and 46 percent felt they had their own guardian angel. Also, 32 percent claimed to have felt an angelic presence at some time in their lives. In addition, a 2000 poll conducted by the Barna Research Group of Ventura, California, found that 81 percent of adults polled said they believed that angels exist and influence people's lives." But is it correct to assume that angels are the nonthreatening, loving beings that many people believe them to be? That all depends. We find instances in the Bible when angels were sent to deliver specific messages from God. They often began their messages with phrases like "Do not be afraid," or "Do not fear." But we also find instances in which God used angels to execute His judgment, as in the case of Sodom and Gomorrah and elsewhere. Generally, God's angels operate undercover. They don't draw attention to themselves, but instead carry out God's assignments. One reason we may not recognize the presence of angels in our lives is because they are doing their jobs properly. Angels are actively involved in the lives of the people of God, and even in the affairs of people in general. They have a specific function and ministry in the lives of Christians.

Glory be to God! We are not alone. When it comes to angels, I've always wondered how my angel(s) look like? I only pray that my angel(s) give good reports to my DADDY about me. I've wondered is my angel a girl or a boy image. I also know that spirits are niether males or females, but I wonder.. You can just picture my imagination when it comes to God's things. We are so caught up in every day things that we sometimes for get what God is doing for us. Great post! thanks for sharing. God Bless
