Angels Among Us Part 1

Look around you and you will see them. Close your eyes and you will feel them. I'm talking about angels. They come in many forms, many colors, and many sizes, including male, female, and animal forms. They have different roles and serve different purposes. There are healing angels, messenger angels, protective angels, warrior angels, guide angels, teaching angels, and angels that inhabit certain places.

Angels are super compassionate beings that vibrate at a very high frequency, so consequently they are flooded with brilliant light in their natural form. There are hundreds and thousands of them with us. They need human prayers, either spoken out loud or in thought to move them to action. There is a symbiotic relationship between humans and the angelic beings. They cannot interfere unless they are asked through prayer or meditation.

That's why anyone could be directed in a moment to pray for a total stranger, so that the angels may act even half way across the world. Angels also can be directed or commanded into action long before an accident or a tragedy has occurred, because you have already called them and released them into action by your words or your thoughts on a continuous basis long before anything has happened. If you are moved to pray for someone or some place and you don't know why, just stop and pray. Direct angels to work on the behalf of the person or place that you are praying for.

If you don't know the cause of your urgency to pray release and call all angels that may be appropriate. Call the healing angels, guide angels, warrior angels and protective angels. Speak to them directly and tell them that you want them to go immediately to the person or place that you are feeling or seeing at the time. "Angels protect her/him, help her/him right now. Do everything that you need to do to help her/him." Or you could say, "I wrap this place in light right now. Warrior angels stand guard right now." You can be very specific with them, or you can be more vague. But as clearly as you can direct them, it will ensure that the mission will get done very accurately and swiftly. The very precise angel for the job will be assigned. If you don't know what to say, just say "Angels I command you to help her/him in every way that is needed right now."

If there is healing to be done, that job is usually done by two or three angels. It is very rare that only one angel is required on a healing mission. Each one of us has a guardian angel that is always with us. When we gather in a group of people, thousands of guardian angels gather with us, at least one guardian per person. But there may be two or three assigned to one person at any given time. When we sing and worship, thousands of angels come to sing and hear the sounds and join in to celebrate. The Angels release a lot of joy and ecstasy in times of celebrations and prayer. One of their natural components is joy. They radiate joy and happiness.

When you direct them, you cannot direct them to manipulate, to hurt anyone, or destroy anything. They work on higher level of love and compassion and they will work with the best intention for everyone. They respect the free will of each person. For example, you cannot direct them to make someone love you or to be with you. You may pray or meditate that the best solution be done for all that are involved. Then the angels will act in the highest manner for each person. You may also pray that she/he be helped to see their ignorance of a situation. I'm sure you have had an encounter with an angel or two, maybe you didn't even know it. But they are here!! So if you feel directed to pray on someone's behalf, start praying, the Angels will take care of the rest.copyright 2006 Yoga Kat

The Prayer Of Jabez

I came across a book in my Mother in Law's Library (actually in fell on me) and it was called "The Prayer of Jabez".
Since it was a character in the Bible I knew nothing about ...I decided to read about it. I came across some interesting facts:
#1  Jabez is mentioned in the Book of Chronicles. In fact he is here: 1 Chronicles 4:10 if you want to look it up.

Now the interesting thing about the Book of Chronicles is that this particular book is more of a listing of all the people in the Bible from Adam to Jesus. Not really a story book or any stories that you would really talk about.
The Story of Jabez is smack in the middle of a listing of names and its not very long. Actually - here it is.


"And Jabez called on the God of Israel, saying, Oh that Thou wouldest bless me indeed, and enlarge my coast, and that Thine hand might be with me, and that Thou wouldest keep me from evil, that it may not grieve me! And God granted him that which he requested."

Now ...question....? Why would you put this particular "story" in the middle of a huge list of names?
There must have been something important that he did to deserve it.
Now lets talk about Jabez. 
 Back in those days..your name meant pretty much your meaning of life. Solomon meant "peace" and he was one of the First Kings to have no blood shed during his reign.
Jabez name meant "he makes sorrowful". Can you imagine a growing up with a name like that?
Anyways- there might be something to his prayer.

Here is some more reading on the prayer- it explains a little more about the prayer and why they inserted it in the middle of Chronicles
