Heavenly caretakers
God created angels before he created us. He knew we would need heavenly caretakers, so he created angels to be just that. He planned it so they would be in place and ready when the time came to bring forth His sons and daughters. Each angel that knocks on your door, from the least to the greatest, is the repository of a special grace or gift that God himself sends you, marked as "personal" with your name on it. When you open your door and your heart to an angel, be ready to be filled with a holy crowning gift from God that has been put together especially for you.
My (Elizabeth Clare Prophet) interaction with angels has shown me that they care for our bodies, comfort our minds, strengthen our thinking and restore our souls. They convey God's word and his intercession to us, and they convey God's prophecies and warnings, his comfort and relief, his admonitions and spiritual exhortations.
Angels and archangels
Consider the manifest presence of the one God as the Great Central Sun, the pivot of light as the hub of the Spiritual Matter cosmos. Think of the T'ai Chi, the great symbol of the taoism, the two halves of the whole, representing the plus and minus, the spirit-matter-cosmos, or the father-mother God.
From the blazing, dazzling Central Sun, so large that we cannot even have a sense of measure with it, comes a ray of light that become angelic forms as they descend to earth. As sunbeams are to the sun, so angels are extensions of the living presence and God. And the greatest of these are the archangels and archeia (is the female complement of an archangel).
When you stand in the presence of an archangel or acheia, you stand in the presence of God. I will say more about this in a moment.Angels have a wide range of offices and functions that are divided among heavenly hierarchies ruled by the seven archangels. Thomas Aquinas defined angels as the guardians of man, the messengers of God who deliver communications of minor importance. He said the archangels are those angels who bring to man the most solemn message entrusted to them by God.
Archangels are the captains (the hierarchs) of the angelic host. They rule over the seven rays, seven light emanations of God consciousness. Archangels are God's architects. God uses them to draw up and carry out the plans for His projects. They are cosmic builders and designers in the broadest sense of the word. Archangels are to our minds the divine blueprint for every endeavor.
The archangels are healers millions of years older than us. They were our first teachers. There is no area of learning in which they do not excel. All the archangels are healers. These master surgeons come to repair our bodies and mend cracks in our soul robes. Together with the Elohim, the co-creators of life and form, they too have the power to create and dissolve life. The archangels are extraordinary beings - nothing less than God personified in form as God's grace and majesty and power.
