That is also my understanding about them.
I love to imagine how big the Angels are.
This is from Daniel 10:8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and there remained no strength in me; for my comeliness was turned in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
10:9 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground. 10) And, behold, an hand touched me, which set m upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.
10:11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand upright: for until thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, I stood trembling.
10:12 Then said he unto me, Fear NOT, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten thyself before thy God, thy words were HEARD, and I am come for thy words. 10:13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and twenty days: but lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
It goes on, but the main point (King James version), is the Angel told Daniel that he had heard his prayer right away but had to fight one of the bad angels for 21 days. The Angel got Michael the Angel to help him. I just love the thought of Angels all around us.
They probably laugh at us sometimes as we get so frustrated over how things are going. I'm sure there are Angels protecting Terri and Phil your friends dream sounds wonderful for Terri.
No matter what happens in the coming days, Our Lord is in control. I love to read the the old testament.
Also there's a Psalm that says the Angels harken unto the words of the Lord. I figure it might mean when we pray God's words back to him. Sweet precious Terri has caused so many of us, to get back on our knees where we belong. God has put such a Love for her in our hearts.
Sorry I've been about 2 hours behind you guys tonight. Don't know why I thought I needed to read all the posts.
