At once the chains fell off Peter's hand. 8.) "Tighten your belt and put on your sandles." Peter did so and the angel said, "Put your cloak around you and come with me." 9.) Peter followed him out of the prison. Peter followed him out of the prison, not knowing, however, if what the angel was doing was real; he thought he was seeing a vision. 10.) They passed by the first guard station, and than the second. and came at last to the iron gate that opens up to the city. The gate opened for them by itself, and they went out. They walked down a street, and suddenly the angel left Peter. [ send green star] [ accepted]

Tell his disciples that he has been raised to life and is on his way to Galilee. Go there! Go there, and you will see him. That is what I came to tell you. 8.)

	Thanks for the info. May 24, 2008 11:57 AM Thanks so much for the info. and am very glad that it was supported with the scriptures. There is so much circulating these days about angels, but most of it is in error. Angels are not people, and people do not become angesl when they die. I have heard so many people saying that their dead loved ones are their guardian angels, and that their infant children that die are now little angels. This is simply not so. Therefore, I was so grateful to see this, and all the scriptural references; the truth will indeed make you free. Blessings, Jean D. [ send green star] [ accepted]
	May 25, 2008 4:55 AM Thank you!, I think it's important to know what is really the truth! I've seen alot of misinformation about angels when reading e-mail and from various groups. I felt it important that people understand what's actually in the bible. Donna [ send green star] [ accepted]

	February 15, 2009 8:52 PM ANGELS Some people believe that angels are magical celestial beings. But angels were created by God just as humans were. Colossians 1:16 "For by him were all things created, that are in heaven and are in earth, visiable and invisiable." from the CEV Hebrew 1:14 Angels are merely spirits sent to serve people who are meant to be saved. from the Holy Bible (the Contemporary English Version.) Revelation 5:11 As I looked, I heard the voices of alot of angels around the throne, and the voices of the living creatures and the elders. There were millions and millions of them.(CEV) Psalm 91:11,12 God will command his angels to protect you wherever you go. They will carry you in their arms, and you won't hurt your feet on the stones. (CEV) Should we worship angels? No! Romans 1:25 They gave up the truth about God for a lie, and they worshiped God's creation instead of God, who will be praised forever. Amen! Do angels convict us of sin? no! John 16:7&8 7.)But I tell you that I am going to do what is best for you. That is why I am going away! The Holy Spirit can not come to help you until I leave. But after I am gone I will send the spirit to you. 8.) The Spirit will come and show the people of this world the truth about sin, because they didn't have faith in me. Angels are messengers! Angels are guardians! and Angels are given authority in certain cases, by God! Angels also belong to vast armies of God! And angels serve God and Jesus, doing whatever commanded of them. Some Names of Angels! 1.) Michael - Archangel - Angel above all angels. He protects and defends God's people 2.) Gabriel - God's Messenger - Deliver's God's messages! 3.) Seraphim - Worship and serve the Lord! 4.) Cheribum - They are guardians and worship the Lord, allow or deny access to the Lord's throne! 5.) Lucifer - The highest angel fallen from heaven. Lucifer, or Satan decided he was higher than God and was thrown from heaven. He is God's great enemy and will be destroyed in the end. He will do anything to keep us from staying faithful to the Lord! There is so much more but I hope I have helped you to understand angels!

	February 15, 2009 8:56 PM LUKE 1: 26 THRU 38 In the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David. The virgin's name was Mary. The angel went to her andsaid,"Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you!" Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be. But the angel said to her, " Do not be afraid, Mary, you have found favor with God. You will be with child and give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus. He will be great and be called, the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever; his Kingdom will never end.""How will this be," Mary, asked the angel, "Since I am a virgin?" The angel answered, "The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the Holy One to be born will be called the Son of God. Even Elizabeth, your relative is going to have a child in her old age, and she who was said to be barren is in her sixth month. For nothing is impossible with God." [ send green star] [ accepted]

	February 15, 2009 9:01 PM LUKE 1:1-40 1.) Dear friend, who loves God: 2.) Several biographies have already been written using as their source material the reports circulating among us from the early disciples and other eyewitnesses. 3.) However, it occurred to me that it would be well to recheck all of these accounts first to last and after thorough investigation to pass this summary on to you, 4.) to reassure you of the truth of all that you were taught. 5.) My story begins with a Jewish priest Zacharias, who lived when Herod was King of Judea. Zacharias was a member of the Abijah division of the temple service corps. (His wife Elizabeth was, like himself, a member of the priest tribe of the Jews, a descendant of Aaron.) 6.) Zacharias and Elizabeth were Godly folk, careful to obey all of God's laws in spirit as well as in letter. 7.) But they had no children, for Elizabeth was barren and; and now they were both very old. 8.)9.) One day Zacharias was going about his work in the Temple--for his division was on duty that week--the honor fell to him by lot to enter the inner sanctuary and burn incense before the Lord. 10.) Meanwhile, a great crowd stood outside in the Temple court, praying as they always did in that part of the service when the incense was being burned. 11.)12.) Zacharias was in the sanctuary when suddenly an angel appeared, standing to the right of the alter of incense! Zacharias was startled and terrified. 13.) But the angel said, "Don't be afraid, Zacharias! For I have come to tell you that God has heard your prayer, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son! And you are to name him John. 14.) You will both have great joy and gladness at his birth and many will rejoice with you. 15.) For he will be one of the Lord's great men. He must never touch wine or hard liquor--and he will be filled with the Holy Spirit even from before his birth! 16.) And he will persuade many a Jew to return to the Lord, his God. 16.) He will be a man of rugged spirit and power like Elijah, the prophet of old; and he will precede the coming of the Messiah, preparing the people for his arrival. 17.) He will soften men's hearts to become like little children's, and will change disobedient minds to the wisdom of faith." 18.) Zacharias said to the angel, "But this is impossible! I'm an old man now and my wife is also well along in years." 19.) Than the angel said, "I am Gabriel! I stand in the very presence of God. It was he who sent me to you with this good news! 20.) And now, because you haven't believed me, you will be stricken silent, unable to speak until the baby is born. For my words will certainly come true at the proper time." 21.) Meanwhile the crowds outside were waiting for Zacharias to appear and wondered why he was taking so long. 22.) When he finally came out, he couldn't speak to them, and they realized from his gestures that he must have seen a vision in the Temple. 23.) He stayed on at the Temple for the remaining days of his Temple duties and than returned home. 24.) Soon afterwards Elizabeth, his wife became pregnant and went into seclusion for five months. 25.) "How kind the Lord is," she exclaimed, " to take away my disgrace of having no children!" [ send green star] [ accepted]

	February 15, 2009 10:28 PM HEBREWS 1:3-8 3.) God's Son has all the brightness of God's own glory and is like him in every way. By his own mighty word he holds the universe together. After the Son had washed away our sins, he sat down at the right side of the glorious God in Heaven. 4.) He had become much greater than the angels, and the name he was given is far greater than any of theirs. [ send green star] [ accepted]

	February 15, 2009 10:34 PM REVELATIONS 19:10 & 22:9 19:10 I knelt at the feet of the angel and began to worship him. But the angel said, "Don't do that! I am a servant just like you and everyone else who tells about Jesus. Don't worship anyone but God. Everyone that tell about Jesus does it by the power of the Spirit. 22:8 & 9 My name is John and I am the one who heard and saw these things. Then after I had heard and seen all of this, I knelt down and began to worship at the feet of the angel who had shown this to me. 9 But the angel said, Don't do that! I am a servant, just like you. I am the same as a prophet or anyone else who obeys what is written in this book. God is the one you should worship. [ send green star] [ accepted]

NEITHER HAS GOD SAID TO ANY OF THEM, "I WILL BE HIS FATHER, AND HE WILL BE MY SON!" 6.) WHEN GOD BRINGS HIS FIRST-BORN SON INTO THE WORLD, HE COMMANDS ALL OF HIS ANGELS TO WORSHIP HIM.

Kimberly L.	Angels, Angels, Angels February 16, 2009 6:07 PM Thank you for the post. Especially, about Gabriel. They seem to be teaching people in pop culture that Gabriel, Uriel turned from G-d which is really offensive. [ send green star] [ accepted]
	February 16, 2009 6:31 PM I know! I try to stick to the bible as closely as possible. I've found a lot of strange and non biblical teachings in the last few years, but even as a teen I found that there were cults and false teachings. I feel that study of the scripture is so very, very important, so that we know what is from the bible and what isn't. Thank you for your comments. I appreciate them. [ send green star] [ accepted]
