** Once you come to realize that there are two main spheres of existence Sighted & Spiritual; then the action or deeds of angels will become more important in your life! **

What are Angels?

Angels are created wholly spiritual beings; free of most human limitations, such as death {Luke 20:36}!

Angels are God's Agents, wiser and stronger that humans; yet their powers and knowledge are limited by God! {Psalms. 103:20, Matt 24:36, 1 Peter 1:11, 2 Peter 2:11}.

Christ became " far superior to the angels as the name He has obtained is more excellent than theirs "
{ Heb 1:4}.
When He brought the First born into the world, He said, " Let all of God's angels worship Him " (Jesus Christ)
{ Heb 1:6}
" But to which angels has He said,' Sit at my right hand, until I place your enemies under your feet'? Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation?" (Here is your answer!)
{Heb 1:13&14}
Psalm 8 refers to Christ, being made " for a little while lower than angels " {Heb 2:7}

So are there Fallen Angels?

In Christ's final victory; Satan {literally, the adversary} will be conquered! During Christ earthly ministry Jesus cast out many demons " by the Spirit of God " {Matt 12:28}, even his disciples were given power over demons...
Jesus said, " I saw Satan fall like lighting from Heaven " {Luke 10:18} then just before the His crucifixion, Jesus said that the time had come when "the ruler of this world shall be cast out " {John 12:31}.
So while there was war between Satan and his fallen angels; true Christians are warned that there is no biblical reason for excessive fear of either Satan or the Devil or fallen evil spirits! With direct prayer "In the Holy name of Jesus of Nazareth Satan and his demons be gone!" {Ephesians 2:2}.

===========================================================

Angels have been involved in many earthly functions; such as:
- Making personal appearances to humans
- Strengthened and provided protection
- Act as guardian angels
- Have encouraged and comforted
- Guarded against evil
- Warned of dangers
- Have acted as messengers {this I have personally beheld}

Angels will accompany Christ upon His triumphant return.
{ Matt 25:31, Acts 1:10&11, 1 Thessalonians 4:16, 2 Thessalonians 1:7}

Since New Testament times most works previously entrusted by God to His angels have now become part of the ministry of Christian believers through the Holy Spirit!

The Holy Spirit of God never the less may continue to employ His angels for the Holy Purpose of God for His people today!

============================================================

** Once you come to have an encounter with angels or the Holy Spirit of God you will never be the same and the Truth of the Gospel of Jesus will forever be burned into your soul!
I personally have had such....

May God Bless your search and pathway of life!

God is the source of all truth!

Amen!
