Well, I can't speak for others but they offer me protection, a lot of love and affection, whether I'm right or wrong

whats the point in angels? what do they do with their time?
guess Angels are Celestial Postal Workers.
Why God needs messengers when he can talk direct to anyone is beyond me.
Michael, the ArchAngel is the Post Master General and reports directly to god.
Gabriel (Angel First Class) is waiting for promotion to that position.
Lucifer was head of the Postal Union but after the General Strike (c. 4,000 BC) he disappeared.
The Board of Directors consists of Cherubim (Chavs)
and Seraphim (Saps) who have no real power and
are constantly sucking up to God.

Originally posted by checkbaiterThis some good information on angels.
They are ministering spirits to the elect...Hebrews 1:14
RECEIVE THE MINISTRY OF THE ANGELS
Luke 22:43 "And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him."
LUKE 22:43
We have angels assigned to us. Hebrews 1:14 further reveals that their purpose is to minister to us, on our behalf. In the Old Testament, Psalm 91 teaches on the ministry of angels to God's people.
Some people who have realized this truth have taken it as far as to say that we are suppose to speak to our angels and they will obey our commands. There is no instruction in scripture to do this nor is there any example of that being done. We don't have the intelligence to administer all of the angels.
Many of the angels' protective duties described in Psalm 91 are preventative, and we certainly could not effectively command these activities.
Rather, these angels are dispatched exactly as this verse describes - by looking at the Father's face (Mat. 18:10). God Almighty controls them for us; however, we do have a part to play. Psalm 91 prefaces all of these promises about angels as being for those who dwell in the secret place of the most High. Verse 2 further instructs us to say that the Lord is our refuge and fortress and in Him we trust.
It is the combination of our faith in God and His faithfulness to us that releases the angels on our behalf. If it was solely up to God, His provision would be the same for everyone because of His mercy and grace. However, we have to receive God's grace by faith (Eph. 2:8). As we seek the Lord, become aware of His ministering spirits which were created to minister to us, and speak forth our faith in this area, He will send forth His angels on our behalf.
