Guardian Angels Watching Over Us - wherever you are, God guards and rescues those people who reverence Him. You can know for certain that God will send His guardian angels to guard you – simply yield your life to Him and ask Him to come into your life and forgive your sins. This poor man cried to the Lord — and the Lord heard him and saved him out of his troubles. For the Angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence him. Oh, put God to the test and see how kind he is. See for yourself the way his mercies shower down on all who trust in him. If you belong to the Lord, reverence him; for everyone who does this has everything he needs . . . those of us who reverence the Lord will never lack any good thing

“For the angel of the Lord guards and rescues all who reverence Him” - (Psalm 34:7).

For many years my travels have taken me from continent to continent, to scores of countries each year. 

I have traveled under all kinds of circumstances, not a few times faced with danger. 

But always there was peace in my heart that the Lord was with me, and I was surrounded by His guardian angels to protect me.

In Pakistan, during a time of great political upheaval, I had finished a series of meetings in Lahore and was taken to the train station. 

Though I was unaware of what was happening, an angry crowd of thousands was marching on the station to destroy it with cocktail bombs.

The director of the railway line rushed us onto the train, put us in our compartments and told us not to open our doors under any circumstances – unless we knew that the one knocking was a friend. 

The train ride to Karachi would require more than 24 hours, which was just the time I needed to finish rewriting my book Come Help Change the World.

So I put on my pajamas, got in my berth and began to read and write. 

It was not until we arrived in Karachi some 28 hours later that I discovered how guardian angels had watched over us and protected us. 

The train in front of us had been burned when rioting students had lain on the track and refused to move. 

So, the train ran over them and in retaliation, the mob burned the train and killed the officials.

Now we were the next train, and they were prepared to do the same for us. 

But God miraculously went before us and there were no mishaps. 

We arrived in Karachi to discover that martial law had been declared and all was peaceful. 

A Red Cross van took us to the hotel and there God continued to protect us. 

When the violence subsided, we were able to catch a plane out of Karachi for Europe.

Whether in a train or wherever you are, God guards and rescues those people who reverence Him.

Today, you can know for certain that God will send His guardian angels to guard you – simply yield your life to Him and ask Him to come into your life and forgive your sins. 

Here is a prayer that you can pray:

Lord Jesus, I need You. 

Thank You for dying on the cross for my sins. 

I open the door of my life and receive You as my Savior and Lord. 

Thank You for forgiving my sins and giving me eternal life. 

Take control of the throne of my life. 

Make the kind of person You want me to be.

William R. “Bill” Bright, author and founder of the world’s largest Christian ministry, formerly known as Campus Crusade for Christ. He is known around the globe as one of the most vigorous Christian evangelists. Among many other writings, he wrote the Four Spiritual Laws and In 1979 he produced the film ‘Jesus’.

“He has carried a burden on his heart as few men that I’ve ever known. A burden for the evangelization of the world,” said Rev. Billy Graham, a long-time friend of the Brights. “He is a man whose sincerity and integrity and devotion to our Lord have been an inspiration and a blessing to me ever since the early days of my ministry.”

Angels are watching over you - God commanded His angels concerning you. Though we may not see them or know they are there, angels are watching over us, transporting blessings into our lives, protecting us from danger and helping us to glorify God better. There is no doubt that good angels help protect us. God commands those faithful spirits who are nearest to Him, who come from Him and are marked by Him to guard us in all our ways. When we meet strangers, we should be careful how we treat them because it could be someone that was sent by God to help us or protect us. We don’t know what God is trying to do or what He is trying to accomplish but we know that it is a part of His good and perfect will

The angel Gabriel - Gabriel is one of God’s good and holy angels. Gabriel’s name means “God is great.” It is possible that Gabriel was also the angel that appeared to Joseph, but this is not certain, since that angel is unnamed in Scripture. As the angel of the annunciation, he is the one who revealed that the Savior was to be called “Jesus.” In response to Mary’s question about how this was to happen, since she was a virgin, the angel Gabriel said the conception would be the result of the Holy Spirit’s work in her. He has a favored position as an angel who “stands in the presence of God” and he was selected to deliver important messages of God’s particular love and favor to individuals chosen to be part of God’s plan

Different types of angels - generally when angels are mentioned, it is the class of holy angels in view. By contrast, the fallen angels are those who have not maintained their holiness. Led by Satan, who was originally a cherub, the fallen angels defected, rebelled against God, and became sinful in their nature and work. Of the fallen angels, Satan alone is given particular mention in the Bible. The expressions "principalities" and "powers" seem to be used of all angels whether fallen or holy. Most holy angels are not named in the Bible but are described only as "elect angels." Holy angels fall into special classes. Michael the archangel is likely the head of all the holy angels
