Angels Being Assigned by God to Serve and Protect

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bible Verses (RcV) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hebrews 1:13  But to which of the angels has He ever said, 
"Sit at My right hand until I set Your enemies as a 
footstool for Your feet"?  (14)  Are they not all 
ministering spirits, sent forth for service for the sake of 
those who are to inherit salvation?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Words of Ministry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 
[Part 3 of 3]
All the saints have at least one angel, one angelic 
bodyguard, assigned to serve them and protect them. This is 
proved by the Lord's word in Matthew 18:10 where He charges 
us not to despise "one of these little ones, for...their 
angels in the heavens always behold the face of My Father 
Who is in the heavens." Furthermore, when Peter was released 
from prison and was knocking at the door of the gate, those 
inside the house told the young woman, who kept saying that 
Peter was knocking, "It is his angel" (Acts 12:15). 

Although the angels serve us and may protect us, we should 
not regard them as mediators. Because they are servants, we 
should not worship them. We are identified with the One who 
is the Head of all the angels, and in Him we have been made 
full. If we are clear about this, we shall never be deluded 
into worshipping angels. Rather, we shall have the proper 
knowledge that, in a very real sense, because we are one 
with the Head of the angels, we are higher than they are. 
Actually, we are partners of the Christ who is the Head over 
them, and in Him we are complete.

This fact of having been made full in Christ is versus the 
worship of angels. Because we are one with Christ, we should 
never worship angels.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A Prayer ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Father God, I apreciate that You have assigned an angel to 
me, not to be worshipped, but to serve and protect me. 
Knowing this, may I never be distracted or preoccupied with 
angels. Hallelujah, I have been made full in the Christ, the 
One who is over the angels. Amen.
