The purpose is to saturate our thinking with Scripture so that it will permeate all aspects of our reasoning and guide us into God’s will. These articles touch on subjects such as soteriology, grace, worship, righteous living, and character studies of people such as Saul and David. The overall intent of the book is to inform and inspire believers to live righteously before God.

Book excerpt: THE meaning of the word Angel is messenger. That name is given to those pure spirits because such is the relation they bear to God and us. Their principal duty, however, is the same as the office of the blessed in heaven -to see, love, bless, and enjoy God for ever and ever. Among the ancients there were many who believed there was nothing in the world but what could be seen or perceived by the senses. The Sadducees, for instance, did not believe in the existence of spirits.It is the boast of modern atheists and rationalists that there is nothing but "Nature" and "the forces of Nature"; with them there are no angels.Some of the Greek philosophers held that there were angels, but that these angels had bodies; not, indeed, corporeal, dense bodies like ours, but bodies suitable to their nature-thin, airy, star-like bodies. Some, even, of the Fathers, on account of the angels being represented as having the appearance of men, seemed to favour the theory of their having bodies. Petavius says that Irenaeus, Tertullian, Origen, and others held this doctrine. Now, Catholics say that the angels are pure spirits because, wherever in the Scripture they are introduced they are simply called by the name of spirit. " Are they not allministering spirits?" (Heb. i. 14). "Who makest Thy angelsspirits" (Ps. ciii.).The Fourth Council of Lateran has defined that "God created together, at the beginning of time, out of nothing, both classes of creatures, spiritual and corporal-the angelic, to wit, and the material; and then the human, as a composite of both spirit and body".Even Aristotle says: "All nations believe that there are individual intelligences beyond the skies-that these are subject to no change and to no passion; that they are in enjoyment of the fullest and most perfect life, which consists not so much in action as in contemplation; that they have a king, that they differ from men, and are inconceivably more excellent". Question.-How did these men conceive the idea of an angel?Answer.-We can only answer by conjecture. Perhaps from the responses of idols or their prophecies; perhaps from the motions of the heavenly bodies, or from some extraordinary facts which were not to be explained by any knowledge they had of Nature; or, better, and more likely, from the ancient tradition of the patriarchs. Cardinal Newman's notion of the angels before he became a Catholic will prove interesting: "It was, I suppose, to the Alexandrian school and to the early Church that I owe in particular· what I definitely held about the angels. I viewed them not only as the ministers employed by the Creator in the Jewish and Christian dispensations, as we find': on the

Download or read book Holy Angels written by Sebastian Chukwuma Anokwulu and published by Trafford Publishing. This book was released on 2013-09-06 with total page 155 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a testimony of faith to reawaken in the reader the presence and ministry of the Holy Angels as ordained by God and revealed in the Holy Bible. The Holy Angels as Messengers of God are never treated in isolation from God. Whenever and wherever they are mentioned in the Scriptures, it is always to inform us further about God's love and care for man. Using wide range of Biblical citations and narratives from the OT and NT, the early Christian community, the Church Fathers, lives of some famous Saints and personal encounters, the author leads the reader to see that these Holy Messengers still minister to us today. The book strongly re-emphasizes the truths about the love and care of the Holy Angels to man as commanded by God. Where there is light, there is no darkness. Demons or evil spirits do not work where the Holy Angels minister. Whoever believes in the works of the devil should believe more in the ministry of the Holy Angels because it is in their absence that the evil one operates. The author wants the reader to realize that as life is miserable without light and light energy, so miserable is a life without the presence and ministry of the Holy Angels. God sent them to help those who are to "inherit salvation" (Heb. 1:14).

This book was released on 2016-08-23 with total page 54 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: DO YOU know who is your best and most faithful friend? It is one whom God Himself has placed at your side as a life companion—a Prince from His own Heavenly Court—your Guardian Angel. God in His goodness has appointed him to guide and protect you through life and to lead you safely to your Eternal Home. From the very beginning of your existence, your Guardian Angel has been concerned about you. He rejoiced when you were born into the world, just as a good mother rejoices over the birth of her child. From the day of your Baptism, you became ever dearer to your Guardian Angel, ever more loved by him. Day and night he watched at your cradle. He led you as you took your first steps. He cared for you with most tender love when danger threatened. He grieved when you committed sin, as if he himself had received the greatest injury, and he left you no peace until you became reconciled with God by a good Confession. He has watched and prayed with you in hours of distress. He has rejoiced with you in days of prosperity. On the day of your First Holy Communion he was the bridal attendant of your soul. As often as you have received the Bread of Angels in the state of grace, he has rejoiced to accompany you to the Holy Table. He it was who prayed for you specially when the hand of the bishop anointed you as a soldier of Christ in the Sacrament of Confirmation. Your Guardian Angel is your best counselor. Particularly will he assist young boys and girls in their choice of a vocation. He will shield you amid the dangers of the world. If you call upon him, he will help you to find the life companion whom God has destined for you. He will ever remain at your side, so that you may faithfully and conscientiously fulfill the duties of your state in life. If God has called you to the religious life or to the holy priesthood, your Guardian Angel will protect you from the temptations of the world and help you to preserve your virginal purity, to offer it to God at the altar by your holy vows or to offer the sacred Body of Christ with unstained hands and holy lips as a priest of the Most High. In short, your Guardian Angel is your companion in all the circumstances of life—your friend in good as well as evil days. He will one day assist you in a very special manner—when you enter into life’s last conflict. Then he will fight with you and for you, until you have won the battle and your heart is at rest. But not even then will he leave you—there where every other, even the best of friends, must leave—on the threshold of eternity. When the light of earth fades away and the brightness of eternity bursts upon you, your Guardian Angel will present your soul before the tribunal of God and faithfully plead your cause. What is more, if you require purification in the flames of Purgatory your holy Angel will visit and console you. He will bring before God’s throne the good works that are performed for you on earth, and he himself will intercede for you. Finally, when your time of purgation is ended, he will joyfully bring you word of your release from the flames of Purgatory and will lead you to the blissful kingdom of Heaven. But to benefit by the presence of this heavenly companion, you must be docile to his inspirations and never turn away from this holy Angel who is your guide and your protector.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this publication, Angels and Spirits, the scripture teaches that there is an order of intelligences higher than that of men and further asserts that these intelligences are connected with man in providence and in the redemptive economy. These intelligences are called spirits to denote their specific role and nature; they are called angels to denote their mission. We will investigate their involvement with mankind and their tasks. Nothing can be known of them other than that which is revealed in the scriptures. They are created spirits, but the time of their creation is not indicated. Many biblical scholars hold that such a creation must have been included in the statement found in Genesis 1:1 and therefore preceding the six days’ formative period. The highest exercise of angels is to wait upon God. Their chief duty is to minister to the heirs of salvation. As we embark upon this reading, my hope is that you will come to take seriously the informative topics presented to you. We do not intend to dwell on Satan or his angels too much (only as necessary) but focus on the deeds and tasks of holy angels. —Reverend Dr. John Thomas Wylie
