Angels can come in many different forms. I sometimes think people who're there to help me through different parts of my life are angels sent down to me. Whenever either a loved one or myself has narrowly escaped death or great harm, I think of it as our guardian angel working overtime to protect us.

Do you believe in angels? How have angels existed in YOUR life?

Our guardian angel who was with us when we were born into the physical world and is with us now at the end of our earthly life. A heavenly spirit assigned by God to watch over each of us during our lives.Our guardian angel is both to guide us to good thoughts, works and words, and to preserve us from evil.
Some of us are fortunate, because we get to know our guardian angel before we die. We may sometimes sense a guiding hand helping us through life. We may feel inspired by an outside force, or may have a sense of mortal guidance. At a time of great danger or despair, have we felt an angelic hand lift and shelter us from our plight? I do.

As we begin to explore our own spirituality, the only real way we can feel safe is to adopt a belief that we are here for a reason, that we existed before we were born into this reality and that we will continue to exist after our body has died. A feeling of safety comes from a belief that we are loved unconditionally, by being who are not caught up in our everyday reality in physicality.
To know that we have a guardian angel who is keeping watch over us can help us feel safe.
Angel are not a matter of belief but of experience.

I think that you are correct that sometimes people can be angels ... the 'angels' take over their personalities (similar to possession by demons, but usually much less 'obvious') so they can 'help' other people. I have had that happen to me ... but I also occasionally see 'rare birds' flying ... in places where those birds have NEVER been seen before, and most people don't even NOTICE them flying by ... and I think that those are 'angels' too ... the FIRST time I ever saw this was after I finally was able to go back to where my daughter's ashes had been scattered years before. I was overcome with grief and walked away from everyone, and when I looked out over the water, I saw a HUGE PELICAN winging its way down the river. Pelicans have NEVER been seen that high in the mountains ... but as I watched it fly by, I was filled with a wonderful PEACE and could 'hear' my daughter (who had been only ten weeks old when she died of SIDS) tell me that she was with God, and that she had done her work on earth and was very happy and that she'd 'see me in Heaven' when I got there. On other occasions, when I was getting depressed, I've seen birds flying, and even seen rainbows where there was no rain and the 'sunlight' was 'all wrong' ... all of which I think are 'angels' telling me God's message of love and acceptance. I think that EVERYONE has 'angels' that watch over them, even if they don't realize it ... but some of us are in the 'lucky few' who can RECOGNIZE angels when they are with us.

Angels exist - both those who serve God and those who serve Satan (demons). They are a separate race (or races) and not the spirits of deceased people. The ones who serve God do so on His command, so if He decides to send an angelic being, it is on His time and planning. I don't think of them as sitting around watching every little thing I do. God is all knowing and knows when I might need the help and will send it at the right time.

Im not sure,,,,,Seeing is beleiving and I wish I could see one or at least my guardian angel. But when I think back on all the bad things in my life and some good and the way things turned out I sometimes wonder if an angel was with me or something divine and spiritual.

No, angels are not working in any Christians life today. If you have believed and trusted in the Lord Jesus Christ and the fact that He died for your sins, the Holy Spirit seals you. Why would any person with the Holy Spirit living within you need a angel today? God is not using angels today we have the Holy Spirit and angels are not seen today in the age of grace. 1 Corinthians 3: 16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you? Colossians 2: 18 Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,

Yep! I always feel like there's something/someone protecting and watching over me and my loved ones. I think my family and loved ones are guardian angels sent down to me, especially after all the uncanny coincidences in recent years. And there's the peculiar thing of always escaping the worst, no matter how bad things may be. Sometimes things just 'click' and problems get solved in the last minute. I think angels are a source of comfort and strength for many, even if you aren't religious.

I believe in them. When I was younger, I thought I had a guardian angel named Jessica. Oddly enough, I really really believed "Jessica" would play with me and swing on the swings with me. Hmmm. Now, I don't really believe that you can just create an angel like that, I think angels are people you knew that have passed on. I sometimes feel like my grandpa is watching over me and I consider him an angel.

I believe everyone has a guardian angel... You can also contact them.. Some people say if you look at your clock and its exactly 11:00 or 12:00 it means your angel is with you.
