love – Angel of Guidance

In today’s post, I wanted to we’re looking at the seven Archangels,, also known as the Watchers. Over 80% of the world’s population believe angels exist, so we’re not alone.

The term Archangel itself is derived from a Greek term that means chief angels. Archangels are superior beings that are the extensions of God himself. Hence they personify his grace, power, and majesty.

All the archangels are considered healers. Typically they come as surgeons, ready to repair our bodies through mending our souls.

What are archangels in terms of rank? Archangels are at the topmost hierarchy in the Angel world. They are arguably the closest beings to God. Archangels are powerful beings in the spiritual Realm. They watch over other angels, humanity, and also other aspects of the universe itself.

Most people believe that you can learn to communicate with them and also evoke their power in times of need.

Currently, there are only two archangels named in the Canonical Bible that the Protestants and the Catholics used. They are also named in the Koran as well. These archangels are Gabriel and Michael.

Originally, there were seven archangels discussed in the Book of Enoch. These archangels were removed from the scriptures because of a reason that we will discuss here. The other five angels are known by many names, but they’re popular names include Ariel, Raphael, Azriel, Jophiel, and Chamuel.

They appear in stories which date back to the Bronze Age when the first temple was built in 300 BCE. This is also when King Solomon built his first temple in Jerusalem.

The battle between Lucifer and Angel Michael can be found in the Book of Revelations, but the battle takes place in heaven and not on Earth as much as Lucifer fights a host of angels. Only Angel Michael is named among them. That is because the rest of the story was removed from the canonical Bible in the period between 366 to 384 BCE by Pope Damasus.

The Council of Rome also played a part in removing the story from the canonical Bible.

Let’s take a look at each of the seven archangels and their attributions to humankind.

Archangel Michael

The name Michael basically means he who is as God’s. Archangel Michael is known as the Angel of Protection and also the most powerful among all angels. He is also considered to be the leader of the angelic realm and the patron of righteousness, mercy, and justice.

That said, the Scriptures have always depicted him as a warrior carrying a sword in his hands.

Being an Archangel, Michael commands a legion of guardian angels, all serving as the first line of protection, the will of God and faith.

What’s even more interesting, Michael only says 4 words.

“The Lord rebuke you” -Jude 9

These are the words that Michael says directly addressing Satan.

In the scriptures, Michael argues with Satan about the body of Moses. However, not a lot is said.

Michael is the most interesting biblical Angel that’s next to Gabriel and Lucifer.

Michael is arguably the most famous Angel in the Bible.

Archangel Gabriel

Archangel Gabriel’s name can be translated to mean the strength of God or the Hero of God. Archangel Gabriel is the holy messenger of God. But unfortunately in the conical Bible, Gabriel is not referred to as an Archangel. However, many Christians believe him to be.

Angel Gabriel is the one responsible for guiding the Wise Men to Christ. Additionally, the Angel is mentioned in the Quran as an Archangel.

Gabriel is neither female nor male, but the Angel sort of resembles feminine qualities. The reason why Christians refer to Angel Gabriel as an Archangel is due to the Book of Enoch that was released between the old and New Testament.

In the book, Enoch refers to Gabriel as an Archangel. Otherwise, the word Archangel is only used in the Bible.

Archangel Gabriel only speaks directly to three people. The Angel appears to Zechariah to tell of the future, birth of John the Baptist, to prophet Daniel, and lastly to Virgin Mary.

The first time Gabriel is mentioned in the Bible is when he appears to Daniel to explain his vision. Gabriel explains the vision to Daniel after being called upon by God.

Archangel Ariel

The name Ariel can be translated to mean the Lion of God. That means that Ariel is responsible for protecting the plants, animals and elements of the world which include wind, fire and earth.

Therefore, anyone who will bring harm to God’s creation is usually punished by Archangel Ariel. So whenever you’re conserving the environment, ask for help from Arial.

Arial not only protects God’s creation, but she also guides people to protect it as well. Whether she does it herself or uses others to help. The main aim is protecting what God created.

Archangel Azrael

The name Azrael can be loosely translated to the Angel of God in Hebrew.

Some people actually refer to him as the Angel of destruction and renewal. However, that’s not a reason to fear him. He is not the bringer of death, but rather the spiritual guide.

His role is to guide souls during death to crossover calmly. The role of Azrael sort of resembles the role given to Anubius found in ancient Egyptian mythology.

Additionally, Azrael is credited for being a spiritual counselor during times of grief. Azrael ensures that you don’t completely lose your mind or even do something that you shouldn’t do or to that.

Azrael keeps track of those people who are born every day and those who die. Therefore, he knows the exact population of the world at any given moment.

Archangel Raphael

Raphael is known as the ultimate physical and emotional healer in the realm of the Angels. This means that he is not only a healer of people, but he also guides healers in their process.

Additionally, Raphael can help you let go of your addictions and has the power to heal physical injuries.

The name of this Angel can be loosely translated to it is God who heals.

That said, it probably doesn’t surprise you that Raphael has the healing power, and the people who need healing will always pray to Archangel Raphael.

The Angel helps in restoring and maintaining peace and harmony to the world and in the realm of angels. He also watches over travelers to ensure they have a safe journey home.

Raphael works in conjunction with Michael to help relieve stressors and fears that might affect your health.

Archangel Jophiel

The word Jophiel means the beauty of the Lord. That said, the main power of the Archangel Jophiel is to help us maintain our beauty and life and also giving us positive thoughts.

She is also known as one of the few female archangels to exist. In short, jophiel helps us to appreciate the beauty of the world. Therefore, when you stop to admire a flower, chances are you’ve been visited by Jophiel.

Whenever you feel negative thoughts, the best idea is to pray to Jophiel for positivity.

So when all your negative thoughts are replaced with positive vibes, then you’ve been visited by Jophiel.

Additionally, Jophiel also helps to boost your creativity and imagination, all in the aim of trying to show you how miraculous the world is.

If you ever lose sight of the meaning of life, then pray to Jophiel for clarity.

Archangel Chamuel

Lastly, the name Chamuel translates to he who sees God throughout history.

This Angel has been called different names over the years. Therefore, it’s easy to confuse Chamuel with other angels.

His sole mission is to bring peace to the entire world. Most people believe that Chamuel can see the interconnectedness of all things that exist. He also assists us by giving us the strength to fight adversity.

Chamuel is known to help people find lost items and also find important parts of their lives.

Additionally, Chamuel also helps to heal anxiety and bring peace to a troubled nation.

He repairs relationships and any misunderstandings between humans.

In the New Testament, Christians are very familiar with the phrase “As you sow, so shall you reap.”

This idea, presented to Christians (and Buddhists alike, in the form of Karma), has also been presented in many other great religions on Earth and has been presented by modern philosophers as well.

When we hear the word attraction, we often think about the person who makes us feel the best.

But attraction is also a power in nature that can act over great distances.

According to science, attraction is something that affects absolutely everything in the universe.

When we look back over the history of science, we remember that Newton’s law of gravitation first told us that every object in the universe was attracted by every other object.

Furthermore, Einstein’s theory told us that attraction arose out of a space-time continuum, and that the attraction objects had for one another was actually their very reason for existence.

The earth, the sun, and all the other celestial bodies would never have been formed if it weren’t for the power of attraction.

But the power of attraction is not only a great mystery in terms of the stars and planets but a great mystery in terms of people’s lives.

When two people come together, there is often an irresistible quality of attraction that overpowers every other desire they have.

Because this power is so closely connected with the power of love, the attraction can even keep two people together forever.

The spiritual law of attraction stated in another way says that “whatever we hold in mind tends to manifest in our lives.”

What this means is that we attract the things that we think about.

In other words, by instilling our emotional energy into certain things, we bring them closer to us every day.

Sure, keeping a positive attitude certainly isn’t an easy thing to do.

Each day, people will tell themselves many negative things.

These negative ideas will sometimes be expressed in the light of day by a seemingly happy person and yet, when we get to know the people who are thinking these ideas, we may find that they are actually quite depressed and afraid of many things.

People make a lot of decisions based on these negative feelings and it isn’t always apparent how much it is affecting their lives.

It will often appear to be quite bad when you take a closer look inside.

The negative tendencies that people pursue in their lives often help to confirm the initial fears that they have. They lose their jobs, their friends and their closest loved ones to problems that seem beyond their control. This seems impossible to change and yet, the law of attraction tells us something different.

People’s thoughts and decisions often promote the very kind of negative evidence that they initially set out to prove.

Simply put, they are the very cause of their own problems.

By focusing on the negative, the negative comes to pass.

The law of attraction tells us that, whatever we give our attention to becomes our point of attraction, ultimately becoming the thing that we magnetize into our lives.

This is even true for the things we try to separate ourselves from or fight against because we find that we are still giving these negative things our constant attention.

Getting over our fears and negative emotions can be quite a challenge when we are applying the law of attraction in our lives.

In order to be successful and attract what is positive, it is helpful to see the challenges ahead.

If we know what to expect in terms of the law of attraction, we will be prepared to attract only the things that are truly best for us in our lives.

People who see a negative future become discontented. This seems obvious and yet, negative people seem intensely committed to their own negativity. It is as though they felt there was some great honor in seeing the bad side of things.

The evidence they were looking for about the world and the negative “reality” of life always seems to arrive with predictable accuracy because the law of attraction is working in all areas of the Universe.

In order to stop this negative thinking, it is best to look at the way it manifests itself so as to uncover a larger field of attraction and open ourselves to more positive energies.
