“Angelic Aid”

Categories: GOD, RELATIONSHIPS
You answered someone who thought they were hearing voices (maybe God's), and you said the Holy Spirit doesn't communicate with us directly since we have the Bible.  Do you think it's possible for our angels to help us, even prompt us to do certain things?

Sincerely,
Buddy System

Dear Buddy System,

The Lord absolutely affects our lives in unseen ways.  Think of Elisha who asked God to open the eyes of his servant so that he could see the myriad of angels that were protecting them (2 Kgs 6:17).  Heb 13:2 says that people have unknowingly entertained angels in their homes.  Providential care from God is unseen… but just as deliberate as miraculous care.  Angels definitely help us (Heb 1:14) and watch over us.  They are sent by God to minister to our needs.
