The Unseen Angels - angels can assume the appearance of men on occasion, but normally they are invisible to human eyes - God has given them charge over us

“For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” -  (Psalm 91:11)

God has created “an innumerable company of angels” (Hebrews 12:22), and there are many references to them in both Old and New Testaments, but few living men or women have ever actually seen real heavenly angels — or, at least, recognized them as such. 

We may “have entertained angels unawares” (Hebrews 13:2), for they can assume the appearance of men on occasion, but normally they are invisible to human eyes.

Nevertheless, they are there! 

Furthermore, they are “all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation” - (Hebrews 1:14). 

God has given them charge over us — that is, over each believer “that dwelleth in the secret place of the most High” (Psalm 91:1). 

They “excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word” - (Psalm 103:20).

Wide is the variety of His commandments with respect to angelic ministry to believers. 

“The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them ...They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone” - (Psalms 34:7; 91:12).

Not only physical protection but also guidance and encouragement are angelic ministries. 

When a believer dies, angels translate his spirit to the Lord’s presence (Luke 16:22; 2 Corinthians 5:8).

And we can look forward then to meeting and thanking them personally as we come to understand better all their ministries on our behalf during our lifetimes.

They are keenly concerned with our salvation and spiritual progress, “which things the angels desire to look into” - (1 Peter 1:12). 

Finally, “when the Son of man shall come in his glory,” He will bring “all the holy angels with him” (Matthew 25:31) as He judges the world.

I Hear Angels - Marty Nystrom

lyrics

Verse 1
I hear angels singing praises
I see men from ev'ry nation bowing down before His throne
Like the sound of many waters
Like a rushing wind around us, multitudes join the song
And a symphony of praise arises, tears are wiped away from eyes
As men from ev'ry tongue and tribe all sing
Chorus
Holy, holy, God Almighty
Who was, Who is and is to come All the angels are crying ho - ly
To the Lamb Who sits upon the throne
All creation is bringing glo- ry

To the Lamb Who sits upon the throne
Verse 2
I see One who's full of wonder
Eyes of fire and voice of thunder, shining bright His majesty
All the colors of the rainbow circle Him and fill His temple So beautiful this is to me
And a symphony of praise arises, tears are wiped away from eyes
As men from ev'ry tongue and tribe all sing

Seven Directions - an enemy fleeing in seven directions is the result of combining the believer's faith with God's power - the forces of our evil adversary will be scattered before us and their opposition turned into fearful flight

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
