Who are Archangels?
The line between our physical world and the spiritual world isn’t as steadfast as you might think. Have you ever wondered how certain things just happens in your favour? How you just got saved from a potentially life changing accident or got saved from signing some papers that may have affected you in the negative manner, due to an unforeseen delay?
Each one of us has a heavenly support team consisting of God, the Archangels, past Spiritual Masters, Spiritual Guides as spirit animals and passed loved ones in spirit. When praying, many appeal to our creator, God, with prayers first and foremost. While many find it comforting to have a formal prayer to request assistance, I prefer to have a conversation with my divine team, as I do with my friends and family. As angels are the bridge between Heaven and Earth, the Angels can reach us, and guide us, no matter how stressed or afraid we are in a situation or in a phase of life.
There are many orders of angels. The Archangels have been given the monumental task of managing life on Earth, including the creation and facilitation of soul contracts, life paths, the spiritual development of souls, order within the natural world, and much more. Each Archangel has a different area of expertise which works in conjunction with all of the other Archangels to ensure the best possible journeys for all on Earth, humans, animals and nature alike, while working in tandem with Heaven and God’s plans.
When calling on specific Archangels, Past spiritual Masters, and Spirit Guides to help, we are asking God’s appointed specialists, and Volunteer’s to assist us and to help us receive the blessings for our prayers. The Archangels, specially appointment by God, have been given the task of helping humanity, as we journey through our lives on Earth. Each one has specific areas of concentration and can be called upon at any time for assistance. The Archangels do not tire and can be in more than one place at a time. They like and want us to call on them for help, for it is within the asking that we acknowledge their presence and can attribute the miracles we experience to their loving assistance under God’s hand.
Archangel Michael:
Of all the Archangels, Michael is the head of this order. He is often depicted with a sword in hand. Archangel Michael has been sainted, and churches are named after him, as he features prominently in the Bible and other sacred texts. He is known as the Great Defender and Protector of all humans, and anyone and anything that matters to us. One can be called upon for strength and courage, as well as protection. He often appears to let you know you are protected and loved. His presence is reassuring and powerful. The healing energy extends to all aspects of the mind, body, and spirit, including healing from the loss of a loved one, addictions, physical ailments, depression, the restoration of faith, and assistance with the cutting of relationship cords (harmful Karmic Chords).
St. Michael can be prayed to for help, when you feel yourself in challenging or scary situations, or just before you embark on your journey, be it by any mode of transportation, or for general guidance and assistance in decision making. This archangel loves to announce his presence around you, he will give you prominent signs that he with you, guiding and protecting you.
Archangel Raphael:
Archangel Raphael has been regarded as the angel of Healing of Humankind on every level, but especially for the healing of physical bodies of all living creatures. His name may be derived from the Hebrew word Rophe, which means “Medicine Doctor”, or Rapach which means “God heals the soul”. He oversees healers that heal physical and emotional pain. Archangel Raphael has a gentle energy and can be called upon when you or those that you love are in need of healing of the physical body. He is also known to support doctors, surgeons, nurses, counselors, and spiritual healers, giving them guidance for their work; and knowledge to scientists to help them find cures. Invoke Archangel Raphael to bring healing to you if you are going through a difficult time in relationships as he heals hearts and helps you to find solutions.
Archangel Gabriel:
Gabriel is one of two archangels specifically named in the Bible. Gabriel translates to ‘God is my strength’. She is thought of as the most powerful and strongest angel and works closely with human beings, making her the patron Saint of Communication workers. Some people connect with this Archangel as a male energy and some as female energy. I personally connect with her as a female energy. Call on Archangel Gabriel for help with ideas, inspiration in creative pursuits, and the energy, opportunities, and resources to complete projects. Children are important to this angel, so she will be supportive of parents, teachers, and counselors. Archangel Gabriel encourages your passion and inspires you to follow your dreams. She also helps with our goals while reminding us to take a rest when needed to restore the mind, body, and spirit to full capacity.
Archangel Metatron:
If you notice, all of the Archangels have names that end in the suffix -el (which means ‘of God’) except Metatron and Sandalphon. This is because both Metatron and Sandalphon were once humans who ascended into the angelic realm by virtue of their faith in God and their perfectly pious conduct. A powerful Initiator of Change, Archangel Metatron orchestrates events on Earth with a magical touch. Miraculous events, transformations, and spirit-to-spirit communications are the areas Archangel Metatron is passionate about.
Call on this archangel to clear your mind of unnecessary clutter in order to pinpoint your focus on what is truly important, to bring about positive changes with lightning speed, and bring miracles to your life. Archangel Metatron watches over all of the children in both Heaven and Earth. So if your child needs help adjusting to new situations at home, in school or in their social lives, you can lovingly call upon him and pray with all the love you have.
Archangel Uriel:
Archangel Uriel helps us to learn how to be alone without being lonely, how to appreciate our own company, and how to delve within our spirits to reveal the mysteries of our existence. Any time you or someone you love is experiencing sadness due to loneliness, call on Archangel Uriel to help to see the wonders that exist within your soul or the soul for whom you are praying. Moreover, you can call on Archangel Uriel to explore the mysteries of the universe. Answers will be delivered through spirit communication, automatic writing, meditation journeys, and epiphanies.
Archangel Uriel helps give us the Courage to Embrace the Truth and overcome our personal challenges in facing it. His energy provides support to those seeking to find, speak, and realise their truth in a way that serves the highest and best versions of themselves. This archangel specialises in helping us see the reality of these situations, just as Uriel means “light of God,” and just like light, which exposes all the cracks, crevices, and flaws of an illuminated object, Archangel Uriel shines a sun-powered spotlight on our inner selves, allowing us to see clearly what is really there.
What’s next?
In my next blog post, I will talk about Archangels Ariel, Haniel, Haziel, Chamuel, Sandalphon, Azreal, Zadkiel and Jophiel.
Every Archangel has a specific role in our human life, all life on Earth and Heaven, and we should call upon them to help us, guide us and protect us. Some of these archangels can even be your guardian angels, just like I feel archangel Michael is mine. I feel him around me all the time, guiding me and protecting me, along with my spirit guides, angels and God and Goddesses.
If ever you want to connect with any of the archangels but don’t know which archangel to call upon for guidance and help for a certain situation or a person, call onto Archangel Michael and ask as to which archangel you should pray to and connect with. You will start seeing signs for that archangel almost immediately after. You may see their name on a book or on TV., you may hear their name or something similar to their name on the radio. Just pay attention to the signs, and trust that you are divinely guided and looked after.
