Calling All Angels, Talking To Angels

Written by Sam Stevens


I am a big believer inrepparttar strength of a personal prayer. However, some of you have asked for a formal guide about how to call torepparttar 126402 Archangels. (Seerepparttar 126403 archives – Your Guide Torepparttar 126404 Archangels for more information!) This guide below is for those of you who prefer to follow a structured format. This Universal Prayer To The Angels can be used to address any ofrepparttar 126405 seven archangels. It is based loosely on Elizabeth Claire Prophet’s prayer structure, that I have personally found to be extremely effective. It is ok to followrepparttar 126406 structure below and write your prayer down and read it. It is also good to read your prayer out loud if you choose to use this more formal method. First of all clear your mind. Try to be relaxed as possible. Light a candle that is appropriate. This is optional and I have included more about using candles as a prayer aid inrepparttar 126407 next section. First you call allrepparttar 126408 angels… Inrepparttar 126409 name of (insert one ofrepparttar 126410 following –repparttar 126411 one that feels best to you) The God (or Goddess) That is Within Me The Divine Imagination My Higher Power The Great Being of Light The I Am That I Am I call to allrepparttar 126412 seven archangels and their legions of light. I ask that all Seven Rays bless me with their divine guidance. Then you callrepparttar 126413 specific angel: I call onrepparttar 126414 Archangel ______ (chooserepparttar 126415 appropriate Archangel) and his legions of light. Forrepparttar 126416 purposes of this exercise we are going to userepparttar 126417 Archangel Michael. I ask for your ____ (fill in blank). In Michael’s case you would say, “I ask for your protection.” Then you make general requests that addressrepparttar 126418 overall nature ofrepparttar 126419 issues that replace all negatives with positive. For example, usingrepparttar 126420 Archangel Michael: I askrepparttar 126421 angels for protection against losing my car and my job. I askrepparttar 126422 angels to be free of anxiety and filled with emotional security. I ask that you replace my lack of confidence withrepparttar 126423 ability to stand up for myself. I ask that all doubts aboutrepparttar 126424 future be replaced with faith that no matter what happens, all will be well. At this point inrepparttar 126425 prayer you may also visualizerepparttar 126426 chakra that is associated withrepparttar 126427 Angel. Michael is related torepparttar 126428 fourth chakra of self-expression so you may want to visualize this area as a glowing brilliant blue. If this is too much for you to handle at first, just concentrate on gettingrepparttar 126429 words right. Then you make a specific request: I askrepparttar 126430 angels to ____ (fill inrepparttar 126431 blank.) This is where you describe specific situations that you would like fixed. For example: I askrepparttar 126432 angels to please resolverepparttar 126433 problem at work and protect me from job loss. I askrepparttar 126434 angels to please help me findrepparttar 126435 money to fixrepparttar 126436 brakes on my car so I don’t have an accident.

God Owes Me Nothing...

God Owes No One

Someone once said that there are no atheists in fox holes. Good point. Many people when in danger have tried to bargain with God. What about you? Have you ever said this? “Lord if you’ll just get me through this mess, I’ll serve you forrepparttar rest of my life.” And are you?

Why can’t we bargain with God? After all doesn’trepparttar 126401 Bible say that God enters into contracts with His people? Well let’s look at this closely. God does contract or covenant with His people, but we can not initiaterepparttar 126402 covenant on our own merit because we can’t guaranteerepparttar 126403 covenant, nor its outcome. Only God can because He alone is Sovereign.

If this is true, and it is, why do we try to bargain with God? Actually, what we are doing by bargaining with Him is trying to place Him in our debt. “God you do something for me, then I will do something for you. Okay?” We argue. But He answers, “No, it’s not okay.” Why? Because God owes us nothing. God is self-contained. God is self-existing. He lacks nothing. He needs nothing. He’s perfectly contented with and in Himself.

The primary reason you and I are inrepparttar 126404 picture is because God expends Himself throughoutrepparttar 126405 universe. He wants to expend Himself through us, transforming us into His Son’s image so that we reflect God’s Glory and walk in His abounding joy. Isaiah 43:7 says that God created us for His Glory.

Now if we think we can help God do this, we are mistaken. All we can do is submit to Him passively, and receive His grace by faith. Oh! Byrepparttar 126406 way—while He’s giving us grace, He’s also giving us faith to trust Him (Ephesians 2:8-10). Look again at Job 41:11 when you get time. God owes nobody! And nobody may borrow anything from Him. So stop trying to place God in your debt. God doesn’t owe you anything. He will never place Himself in debt to you. I hoperepparttar 126407 point is made because I’m resting my case.
