yes but who says that a decesed family member isn't one of gods protectors

Answer 1

I very much believe in guardian angels, one time I had the feeling it was either my father or a friend who were both passed away. Was sitting in a funeral for someone that my spouse had known for 30 years whom I had never met. Was thinking about all those close to me and those that have passed and was on the verge of tears. When I felt a hand grasp my arm, it was very calming, it was if whatever was there was trying to reassure me that everyone was all right. No one was sitting on that side of me...

Answer 2

There are two primary passages in the New Testament that relate to the idea of guardian angels. Mat 18:10 says, "See that you do not look down on one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven." Then, in Acts 12:15, we find a woman named Rhoda recognizing Peter's voice outside the door of the house and the others inside - thinking Peter was still in jail - said: "You are out of your mind...It must be his angel." A number of theologians have concluded from these two verses that every believer must have his or her own guardian angel.
It is highly unlikely that angels could be a deceased family member because God created the angels some time prior to the creation of the earth - and there is good evidence to support this view. Job 38:7, for example, makes reference to the "sons of God" singing at the time the earth was created. (see Job 1:6; 2;1).

Answer 3

I think we each have some guiding force, be that a deceased relative, a living relative, or any other influential figure.

I am a great believer that some apparent tragedies can sometimes be blessings in disguise. You just have to look for the positives in the situation.

When you do this, your guardian angel becomes yourself. Everything which happens has positive and negative aspects. Therefore, why do you need protection?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Angels are sent to protect those that are graced with Gods Holy spirit. They are Gods angels not our deceased family members.

Do You Have a Guardian Angel?

DO YOU believe that you have a guardian angel? Many people think that they do. For that matter, a certain woman in western Canada is said to have a special gift involving angels. If you give her your full name along with $200, she claims that she will put you in touch with your guardian angel. First, she meditates by focusing on the flame of a candle. Next, she has a vision in which your angel gives her a message to pass on to you. As a bonus, the woman provides a sketch of what your angel looks like.

To some, this may seem to be on a par with a tale about French King Louis IX. He supposedly bought very expensive feathers said to have fallen from the wings of the Archangel Michael. While questioning that story, many would not for a moment doubt the Canadian woman’s claims.

Fascination With Angels

In recent years there has been tremendous interest in angels. On television and in movies, books, magazines, and newsletters, we are told about angels who comfort those seriously ill, console the bereaved, impart wisdom, and snatch individuals from death. In the United States, about 20 million viewers watch a weekly television series that portrays angelic intervention in the lives of people. One bookstore lists over 400 books that focus on angels.

A recent book relates experiences about how guardian angels have saved the lives of soldiers in combat. Automobile bumper stickers state that the drivers are protected by guardian angels. Organizations, conferences, and seminars promote the study of angels and are said to help people communicate with them.

Eileen Freeman is the writer of three books about angels and the publisher of a journal devoted exclusively to them. She contends: “I believe that for every angel in heaven there is a guardian angel on Earth, a being whose duties are not solely the praise of God in the heavenly sphere but the actual care of human beings and other forms of life on Earth. A guardian angel is assigned to each of us when we are conceived and watches over us through our growth in the womb, through our birth, through our life in this world, until the angel guides us from the confines of this world into the glory of heaven.” This well describes the popular view of guardian angels.

In these stressful and difficult times, it is appealing to believe that we have our own guardian angel, whose duty it is to protect us. What does God’s Word, the Bible, say about this? Should we try to contact angels? Do they care about our moral standards and religious beliefs? What help can we expect from them?

Guardian Angels

Do angels care for people and protect them? The apostle Paul asked: “Are they [angels] not all spirits for public service, sent forth to minister for those who are going to inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14) Clearly, the answer to Paul’s question is yes.

Because of their refusal to bow down before a golden image erected by Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar, the three Hebrews Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were hurled into a superheated furnace. However, those faithful servants of God were untouched by the fire. When the king looked into the furnace, he saw “four able-bodied men,” and said that “the appearance of the fourth one [was] resembling a son of the gods.” (Daniel 3:25) Some years later, Daniel found himself in a lions’ pit because of his faithfulness. He too escaped unharmed and declared: “My own God sent his angel and shut the mouth of the lions.”—Daniel 6:22.

With the establishment of the congregation of Christ’s followers in the first century C.E., angels again appeared, freeing the apostles from prison. (Acts 5:17-24; 12:6-12) And when Paul’s life was imperiled at sea, an angel assured him that he would arrive safely in Rome.—Acts 27:13-24.

Present-day servants of Jehovah God are fully convinced that God’s invisible angelic forces are real and are able to provide protection, as they did for Elisha and his attendant. (2 Kings 6:15-17) Indeed, “the angel of Jehovah is camping all around those fearing him, and he rescues them.”—Psalm 34:7; 91:11.
