Do our guardian angels always accompany and protect us, regardless of where we go?

A thorough study of this question would be very helpful. Some of our correspondence schools in Europe have issued lessons on the topic.


"Here is a last piece of advice. If you believe in goodness and if you value the approval of God, fix your minds on the things which are holy and right and pure and beautiful and good. Model your conduct on what you have learned from me, on what I have told you and shown you, and you will find the God of peace will be with you."

It seems quite clear that evil angels are doing the same thing, and I have been wondering if anything could prevent them from helping people in certain situations, since the Bible tells us that even the devil will appear as an angel of light.

My search got me to this forum:

http://www.christcenteredmall.com/teachings/angels.htm

It is not by SDA, and therefore I'd not recommend it to just anyone for study, but it gives many helpful ideas.

Here is what EGW wrote about guardian angels:
Quote:
Chap. 306 - We shall Meet Our Guardian Angels

He shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalm 91:11. {Mar 314.1}


Not until the providences of God are seen in the light of eternity shall we understand what we owe to the care and interposition of His angels. Celestial beings have taken an active part in the affairs of men. They have appeared in garments that shone as the lightning; they have come as men, in the garb of wayfarers. They have accepted the hospitalities of human homes; they acted as guides to benighted travelers. They have thwarted the spoiler's purpose and turned aside the stroke of the destroyer. {Mar 314.2}

Though the rulers of this world know it not, yet often in their councils angels have been spokesmen. Human eyes have looked upon them. Human ears have listened to their appeals. In the council hall and the court of justice, heavenly messengers have pleaded the cause of the persecuted and oppressed. They have defeated purposes and arrested evils that would have brought wrong and suffering to God's children. To the students in the heavenly school, all this will be unfolded. {Mar 314.3}

Every redeemed one will understand the ministry of angels in his own life. The angel who was his guardian from his earliest moment; the angel who watched his steps, and covered his head in the day of peril; the angel who was with him in the valley of the shadow of death, who marked his resting place, who was the first to greet him in the resurrection morning--what will it be to hold converse with him, and to learn the history of divine interposition in the individual life, of heavenly co-operation in every work for humanity! {Mar 314.4}

With the word of God in his hands, every human being, wherever his lot in life may be cast, may have such companionship as he shall choose. In its pages he may hold converse with the noblest and best of the human race, and may listen to the voice of the Eternal as He speaks with men. As he studies and meditates upon the themes into which "the angels desire to look" (1 Peter 1:12), he may have their companionship. {Mar 314.5}


In His Love, Mercy & Grace,

Daryl smile

If there is a place where angels and God won't go, then Jonah would have wished he knew about it.

Shouldn't that be a great comfort?

I hate to be such a skeptic, but is there any actual evidence of the above happening? How would we know if this is true or not? Perhaps someone can refer me to a case where we can say "That was an angel speaking." (This should not be too hard, since, as EGW says, this happens "often.")

Typically, in "the council hall and the court of justice", the speakers and actors are known to us. Council for the accused, political/environmental/"religious" activists, neighbors, workers, friends, (enemies), etc. We know these people. We know their historys, their wives/husbands, they have kids at the local school, they went to Harvard or Yale or CaUC, this is their second wife/husband/"significant other"/you get the point. Which ones of these are the angels?

I do not buy into the myth that angels live among us, that they are our neighbors, the kid pumping gas or flipping your burger, or the wizened old granny at church. If you propose that as a solution I would have to ask for "actual evidence" of THAT, and we would be back to where we started.

I do believe that angels sometimes intervene in human affairs. However, this does not equate to "they live among us." Those who believe that have been watching too much "Highlander" or "Twilight". (IMNSHO)

And I do not accept it as true just because Ellen White said it. (Sorry, Mountain Man ..er..certain posters on this forum)

So that's my rant for the day. The snare is set, and in a moment I shall spring it.

Hebrews 11:1

King James Version (KJV)

11 Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
