He became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs. Hebrews 1:4
Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation? Hebrews 1:14
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it. Hebrews 13:2
Did you notice how the first chapter in this book begins with talking about angels and the Lord's superiority to them? Did you notice that the last chapter also references angels? Our eyes are to first and foremost always be fixed on Christ. I have seen where some have been transfixed on the angels and lost sight of the one who is superior. That will surely take one down the highway of unhappiness.
Take note of the definition given here of what an angel is, " a ministering spirit sent to serve". An angelic encounter is something, but an intimate relationship with Christ the Lord is beyond all words. Above all else I cherish that relationship. Having said that I do take heed and pay attention to the strangers I encounter. I ask myself, " is this an encounter where they have come to minister to me or is it an encounter where I am called to minister to them?" Every encounter has its possibilities and opportunities. I believe God uses His earthly angels just as much as he uses His heavenly ones. The way I see it, is that with each encounter of a stranger , God is making a connection and we are to be alert and discerning on just what that connection is to be. Three possibilities exist: the stranger has been sent to minister to me or I am the stranger sent to minister to them or maybe it is both... think about it. We are here to serve...
Lord I thank you today for the endless opportunities and possibilities of not only having an angelic encounter in which you have sent one to minister to me but also for opening my eyes in the times that it is I who You have sent to minister. My humble heart adores and thanks you for your faithfulness in my life....

About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli

I never ever looked at it that way. Angels are messengers of God by defintion. Often times I feel I am ministering to someone and they end up saying something that I needed to hear. Or through speaking with them about their problems, I answer a question that had been on my heart by hearing my words out loud to another person. In teaching we are taught.
As far as the supernatural angels that exist and are there for us,
I look at Christ as the Captain of this Army. We would never walk up to the soliders of an army and give them orders, no their leader would do it. I feel like if I need supernatural angels, Christ will send them. I hear a lot of people that call on thier angels directly, and wonder why they wouldn't want to go to the top first. I don't mean that in a judgemental way by any means. Just something I ponder.
