You are correct that it is God who “CHOOSES” use of His Angels and directs them according to His good purposes. But I see nothing in scripture which encourages us to communicate with them. In fact few who can discern if Angels or one who masquerades as such.

As to “entertaining angels unaware”....the idea is watch how you treat others....but the key word is “unaware”. We aren't going to be aware this is the case.

I do know people who have served and loved God very well who have fallen for deceptions in the spirit world..including a belief they are intended to assist angels in the heavenly battles. Of course this is the imaginations of their own mind. But you can be certain they believe they are doing just that. Thus their faith has shipwrecked and they have been further lead into the spirit world.

Yes, I certainly know that God uses His angels on our behalf. I do not believe we should seek nor desire communication with them..KNOWINGLY. Being 'unaware' is one thing...but to deliberately seek is another and God has made clear we should not do so.

i AGREE

IT IS WISE TO SEEK ONLY GOD

AND AVOID

seeking

per se

angelic anythings.

[Quix]

Nevertheless.

IF AND WHEN

GOD sends one or a lot of HIS ANGELS to my side in an overt way . . . confirming that they are His . . .

I will NOT slam the door in their face.

I also believe that it will likely be angels who appear at our doors in—in millions of cases—saying

COME! as in Lot leaving Soddom etc.

And we’d best heed immediately; not look back; etc.
