There are many different kinds of Angels
and Archangels
and they can vary from the merciful healing Angels
or the celibates cleric Angels to the daunting
Angels of judgment or the fierce reapers.
An Archangel can be a pacifist or a bloodthirsty fighter,

or leaning towards either male or female energy.

All of these nine orders are immortal spirits - but only GOD is Eternal
Spirits of these orders are created through the will of GOD
Their number is countless, like the grains of sand in a desert
or the stars in the sky
Their purpose is to serve GOD ....but we may ask for their help when required
Especially we can ask for the help of the spirit appointed to each of us at birth
(and
known as our Guide or Guardian Angel)
The best way to contact the Archangel Michael and the others is to use a CRYSTAL BALL
Many old masters and ancient church paintings show Michael holding a crystal ball
St. Michael the
Archangel - four images, the one on the right dating right back to the 12th
century
There are many other images showing Angels holding a crystal ball, including
Archangel Gabriel
Be
very careful that we don't worship any other Spiritual beings
instead of the one true Eternal
GOD
Muslim
- Qur'an .
"There is no other god beside God"
Christian - New Testament "You shall have
no other gods before me"
Jewish - Torah "I am the
Lord your God who brought you
out of the land of Egypt,
from the house of slavery. You shall have no other gods before Me..."
Exodus
20: 4:
Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image,
or any likeness of any thing
that is in heaven above,
or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth:
5: Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor
serve them:
for I, the LORD
thy GOD am a jealous God,
visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children
unto the third and
fourth generation of them that hate me;
6: And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that
love me
and keep my commandments.
Humans
can only ask for the immortal Spirit's help, advice and guidance
It
is usually given quite freely without worship of any kind
[through the universal life
force known as Ki or Chi]
They are all around us
and just waiting for us to ask
Because
Angels are so Magnificent, people have fallen into the sin of Angel Worship.
To us they may seem like God himself,
but to God they are as far away from his
perfection, as your dog is to you.
We must always remember that the Angels, good and bad, are creatures, they
are not Gods.
Saint Thomas Aquinas points out that the Angels are not supernatural,
simply because the condition of an Angel as a created being is natural to
his state.
God and God
alone, is the only supernatural being.
So the Bible warns us not to worship Angels (Col. 1:18,
- Rev. 19: 10).
We have countless millions
of Angels at our disposal in the same way that Jesus
did Psalm 91 is worth reading and studying,
because it refers to the protection the Father Then, in verse 11 it says, "for
to his angels He has given command about you,
when he was arrested
in Gethsemane....
"do you not suppose that I can call on my Father
to provide
at a moment's notice more than twelve legions of Angels" (Mat
26:53).
providing
for all his children who find themselves in dangerous circumstances.
It informs us that by remaining in a close relationship with God
He promises to rescue us from: the snare of the Fowler, the destroying
pestilence,
the terror by night, the arrow by day, and from plagues, the wicked,
evil, and affliction.
that they guard you in all your ways".
in verse 13 it says: "you
shall tread upon the asp and the viper;
you shall trample down the lion and the dragon".
Notice that it says, "you will". It
is "we" who do it! By what power? By
the power of God, of course.
That is "our" authority and, let's
face it, "if God is for us, who can be against
us?" (Rom 8:31)
It stands to reason that if God is for us, everything that is of God is for
us, too.
We are never alone as much as we may think that we are.
God's Angels are ever present to help us in all that we do.
GOD also said "ask.... and you will receive"
It
is permissible to ask Angels or Spirit Guides to take your prayer
messages to GOD
and also to thank them
when you receive their help and guidance

In addition to the above crystals, all Angelic beings are attracted to Lavender
Jade
These beings are sometimes
like bees around a honey pot,
because this rare crystal can act as a focus for Spiritual Energy of a very
high order.
There is also
a form of rare quartz called Angel Phantom
Quartz
which can have the same effect,
only better.
Known also as Amphibole Quartz
and discovered in a very remote area of Brazil,
it is quite rare and individual pieces are greatly sought after by the wise
Reiki healers.
This crystal can have a positive influence on everyone who comes into contact
with it.
Touching the
brow with such a crystal can instantly open the thousand petal crown charka
and an affinity with one's Guardian Angel can be quickly established for help
and guidance.
The name comes from the Angel white soft inclusions inside the clear quartz.
Finding one with
Angelic colours like pink or orange
included is a very big bonus
and allows us to target more specifically the Archangel or Angel of that colour.
