Guardians

     People are fascinated with angels.  If you check the internet you will see many sites having to do with angels.  Some are Christian sites, but most aren't.  There are also many books about encounters with angels.  I've even read one.  Again some of the books were written by Christians and some were not.  But all the stories tell of strong beings with extra ordinary powers.  Some of the accounts are true, and It's important to know what is true and what is false.
     Psalms 91: 11 tells how angels were sent to take charge and guard people.  Angels also announce births, and interpret dreams.  They are warriors and protectors.  Satan even masqueraded as an angel of light.
     In 2 peter 2: 4, peter says that God did not spare angels, but sent them to gloomy dungeons for doing wrong.  So angels aren't perfect, they can and do sin.
     The Bible tells of an arch angel named Michael.  Michael is called a prince in Daniel 10: 21.  And he battles against the dragon in Revelation 12: 7, And against the kings of persia in Daniel 10: 13.  Michael is an angel of God who fights evil.
     Gabriel is an angel that hears prayers and brings news from God as in Daniel 10: 9 also in Luke 1: 19.  Gabriel understands visions and interprets dreams in Daniel 8: 16.
     These are all the things that are recorded in the Bible.  If you hear things other than these I would take them with a grain of salt.  Angels were created by God and most do work for God, they are not gods themselves, so they should be treated with respect but not worshiped.  And last but not least, Hebrews 13: 2 says, "Entertain strangers for by doing so some people have entertained angels without knowing it."
