quotations about angels

Angel quote

When you get your spiritual vision focused, you'll know through faith that the angels are moving up and down your ladder carrying out their ministry to you on God's behalf.

TONY EVANS

The Truth About Angels


The very names assigned to angels by their Creator, convey to us ideas pre-eminently pleasing, fitted to captivate the heart, and exalt the imagination; ideas which dispel gloom, banish despondency, enliven hope, and awaken sincere and unmingled joy.

TIMOTHY DWIGHT

Theology Explained and Defended


Angels are manifestations, unquestionably real to those who encounter them, of a world larger, better, and infinitely more beautiful, intelligent, and anchored in the reality of God than ours is. The existence of angels drives home the fact that we are not lost and alone in this modern flatland of materialism, but come from, and will return to, another, better place.

Proof of Angels: The Definitive Book on the Reality of Angels and the Surprising Role They Play in Each of Our Lives


Yes, angels are real, just as real as you and I are. Although they are largely unseen by us, they exist in great numbers.

BILLY GRAHAM

"Billy Graham says angels are real and appear as ordinary humans on occasion", Christian Today, January 29, 2016


It's like we have the bones of animals and the hearts of angels.

BAXTER CLARE TRAUTMAN

The River Within


This is the state of all creatures, whether men or angels; as they make not themselves, so they enjoy nothing from themselves; if they are great, it must be only as great receivers of the gifts of God; their power can only be so much of the divine power acting in them; their wisdom can be only so much of the divine wisdom shining within them; and their light and glory, only so much of the light and glory of God shining upon them.

If I got rid of my demons, I'd lose my angels.

Conversations with Tennessee Williams


[Angels] aid us in our personal mission. We have to learn to listen, for if we block the angels out, they become only the fairy beings of dreams and pleasant stories.

Ye holy angels bright, who stand before God's throne and dwell in glorious light, praise ye the Lord each one. Assist our song, or else the theme too high doth seem for mortal tongue.

RICHARD BAXTER

Poetical Fragments

Tags: Richard Baxter, God


The angels are so enamored of the language that is spoken in heaven, that they will not distort their lips with the hissing and unmusical dialects of men, but speak their own, whether there be any who understand it or not.

Even among the angels, there is the sadness of division.

NICOLE KRAUSS

The History of Love


We are each of us angels with only one wing, and we can only fly by embracing one another.

LUCIANO DE CRESCENZO

attributed, Wisdom for the Soul: Five Millennia of Prescriptions for Spiritual Healing


As God enlarges your awareness of the spiritual realm, you will come to realize that these Kingdom beings are always with you in your personal journey, your family and your community. You are never alone; God has made provision for you. Anytime you feel lost, afraid, confused or desperate, you are probably focusing on your situation, not on God. As you turn to God for help, He releases His mighty angels to intervene supernaturally and come to your assistance.

JUDITH MACNUTT

introduction, Encountering Angels: True Stories of How They Touch Our Lives Every Day


For God will deign to visit oft the dwellings of just men -- delighted, and with frequent intercourse -- thither will send his winged messengers on errants of supernal grace.

JOHN MILTON

Paradise Lost

Tags: John Milton, God


When I was a child and heard about angels, I was both frightened and fascinated by the thought of these enormous, invisible presences in our midst. I conceived of them not as white-robed androgynes with yellow locks and thick gold wings, which was how my friend Matty Wilson had described them to me--Matty was the predecessor of all sorts of arcane knowledge--but as big, dark, blundering men, massive in their weightlessness, given to pranks and ponderous play, who might knock you over, or break you in half, without meaning to. When a child from Miss Molyneaux's infant school in Carrickdrum fell under the hoofs of a dray-horse one day and was trampled to death, I, a watchful six year old, knew who was to blame; I pictured his guardian angel standing over the child's crushed form with his big hands helplessly extended, not sure whether to be contrite or to laugh.

JOHN BANVILLE

The Untouchable

We should, can and most of the time do communicate with God directly. To my knowledge, angels are not necessary for anything. But God's creation is abundant, and asking "Why angels?" would be like asking why there are thousands of varieties of trees or stars, when we could get along with so much less. God Himself told us many times that He was sending angels to love and care for us, so He is the one who brought them into our lives. Therefore, even if we don't understand their entire purpose, I vote that we pay attention to them.

JOAN WESTER ANDERSON

interview, Belief Net


Angels never attack, as infernal spirits do. Angels only ward off and defend.

EMANUEL SWEDENBORG

Tags: Emanuel Swedenborg


But angels come to lead frail minds to rest in chaste desires, on heavenly beauty bound. You frame my thoughts, and fashion me within; you stop my tongue, and teach my heart to speak.

Angels have very nasty tempers. Especially when they're feeling righteous.
