How do you know you have angels surrounding you?

“Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand. They encircled the throne and the living creatures and the elders. In a loud voice they sang: ‘Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and praise.” -Revelation 5:11-12
“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” -Hebrews 13:2
“Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?”-Hebrews 1:14
“Beware that you don’t look down on any of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels are always in the presence of my Heavenly Father.” -Matthew 18:10
“For He will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. On their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone.” -Psalm 91:11-12
First we need to define what an angel is. An angel simply is a messenger from heaven. Sometimes that messenger is an angel that God created. Many times the Angel is God Himself:
Exodus 3 NIV
Moses and the Burning Bush
3 Now Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law, the priest of Midian, and he led the flock to the far side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in flames of fire from within a bush. Moses saw that though the bush was on fire it did not burn up. 3 So Moses thought, “I will go over and see this strange sight—why the bush does not burn up.”
4 When the Lord saw that he had gone over to look, God called to him from within the bush, “Moses! Moses!”
And Moses said, “Here I am.”
5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” 6 Then he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob.” At this, Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.
We see here that The Angel of The Lord that appeared to Moses in the burning bush was God. Notice is says THE Angel of The Lord. Meaning the One and Only Angel of The Lord. He makes it very clear that He is God Himself.
The Revelation 19 NIV
9 Then the angel said to me, “Write this: Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding supper of the Lamb!” And he added, “These are the true words of God.”
10 At this I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”
We see here that this is a created angel and the angel makes it very clear that he is NOT God.
1 Corinthians 3:16 - Do you not know that you are a temple of God and thatthe Spirit of God dwells in you?
John 3 NIV
3 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, no one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”
4 “How can someone be born when they are old?” Nicodemus asked. “Surely they cannot enter a second time into their mother’s womb to be born!”
5 Jesus answered, “Very truly I tell you, no one can enter the kingdom of God unless they are born of water and the Spirit. 6 Flesh gives birth to flesh, but the Spirit gives birth to spirit.
No one can enter heaven without The Holy Spirit of The Lord dwelling in their spirit. When His Holy Spirit enters into our spirit we are then born again, this time of the Spirit instead of the flesh.
So everywhere I go, His Holy Spirit goes with me. Think of it. The Creator of everything that exists goes with me everywhere. He is always with me to protect me, to help me, to teach me.
So angels may surround me but that is a small thing compared to the Creator of the angels is always with me.
Someone may ask; how do you know His Holy Spirit is always with you ? Well He walks with me and He talks with me everyday. I feel His presence everyday. I feel His love that I did not used to feel. He preforms miracles for me often that I know could not happen without Him. I have had three Doctors tell me that I was going to die within the hour. But He spoke to me and told me not to worry that He would take care of me. I felt His healing touch and they took me to X ray and the hole where I was bleeding was healed. I walked out of that ICU an hour after they told me I would die in the hour. Instead of dying, I was healed.
The Doctor that took me to X ray told me he did not believe in God. He seen the blood coming out of the tube down my throat. He could not find the place I was bleeding even though he took the pictures twice. He said he only found a place that looked like a place that someone that had been bleeding two weeks ago that had healed. He said, maybe there is God an if there is, you know Him. That was worth going through the whole ordeal.
If an atheist that watched me go through this experience said maybe there is God; can you see that I would know that there is God and He walks and talks with me everyday.
But the best part was being touched by The Holy Spirit of The Lord Jesus.
