Do you believe in angels? I do.
The word angel itself comes from the Greek term angelos, which is defined as "a messenger, envoy, one who is sent, an angel, a messenger from God."
I have had a couple of experiences in my life, where angels have been with me.
I didn't see them, I couldn't hear them with my ears, but their presence and strength, and protection was undeniable. The bible refers to angels many times.
Genesis 16 Hagar, Sarah's handmaiden. Genesis 19 Sodom and Gomorrah, and Lot. (just to name a few.)

i believe in angels.
absolutely!
Dear father I have always walked in the light under your command- man is good and has done well on earth- yet- still a savage monkey beast that must learn humility and respect-
I have tried to uncover myself now for ten years as your disciple- it is in my complete judgment the decadent and rich societies of the earth that have followed the christ are now ignorant and cruel to the teachings- it is my full and complete judgment further destruction upon man MUST continue so they may seek the truth-
let them pray for their daily bread- let them live in a fox hole again-
MY god- I pray for you to release the holy spirit upon mankind which holds back global nuclear war- I have given the message and they do not care- my duty complete- let my words be found by the survivors after the great purge has occurred- it was desire and ambition to have this done without further global wars- yet man proves otherwise-
let them suffer at the death of their children-= let them kil one another until all atheists are dead- let them kill each other so that those of weak faith will grow stronger- they have no respect for you father in heaven- creator of all things- they love only themselves-
Let the wars begin globally- my duty complete
hmmmmm?
In the Bible,we see angels have distinct personalities, and as you have mentioned they are "messengers dispatched by God to act as agents in his name, not their own name.(Jos 5:14;Judge 13:17,18). Angels are very interested in the outworking of Jehovah's purposes.(1Pet 1:12) Faithful Angels have enjoyed many privileges as ministers to Jehovah, and as you mentioned, in behalf of many faithful servants on earth.
They were a support to Jesus while on earth. Angels announced his conception and birth,they came to his aid after the 40-day fast. An angel strengthened Jesus when he prayed in Gethsemane on his final night as a human. When the mob came to arrest Jesus, he could have called on 12 legions of angels, had he chosen to do so. Angels also, announced his ressurection and were present at his ascension into heaven -Mt4:11;26:53;28:5-7;Lu 1:30,31; 2:10,11 22:43; Ac 1:10,11.
Angels too are free moral agents, with power of personal choice between right and wrong. (Sadly, by personal choice many angels joined Satan in rebellion, these unfaithful angels lost out on many privileges and are now called demons.Rev 12:7-9)
God's spirit messengers continue to minister to God's servants on earth (Heb 1:14) No longer do these mighty angelic ones appear visibly on earth, still God's servants are assured of their ever-present, invisible protective armies. (Ps 91:11; 34:7; Ac 5:19; 2King 6:15-17)
In the future angels will support the King of Kings in fighting the war on the great God Almighty, for the benefit of all righteous ones both in heaven and on earth.
Yep! I believe in angels and appreciate their loving protection.
ooops I forgot my reference.
Compare: Rev 19:14-16.
Angels!
Of course I believe in angels.
Perhaps we have encountered angels unaware.
