Archangels - Supernatural Beings

Archangels are recognized in Christian, Jewish, and Islamic traditions with well-defined roles. 


Gabriel, meaning "God is my strength," is a chief messenger of God, known for delivering significant announcements such as the Annunciation to Mary and the birth of John the Baptist. He is also the angel who represents the element of water.
 

Michael, whose name means "Who is like God?", is the archangel of war and protection, serving as the leader of the heavenly armies, the defender of the Church, and the one who opposes Satan. He is also venerated as a protector of the faithful, a judge of souls and connected to light and the sun.
 

Archangel Ariel: is known as the "Lion of God" or "Lioness of God," she oversees the natural world and physical universe. Her role includes healing and protecting animals, plants, and the Earth's elements. She is often depicted with symbols of nature like water, wild animals, and flowers, and her energy colors are pale pink, silvery white, and light blue. She works closely with Archangel Raphael in healing and protecting the natural world.
 


Archangel Haniel: is associated with the planet Venus and the moon, symbolizing victory, endurance, and joy.  Her name means "God is my grace," reflecting her connection to divine favor and beauty. She helps individuals overcome sorrow, anxiety, and lower vibrations, guiding them toward inner peace and spiritual awakening. She is considered the source of all joy and aids in the pursuit of a meaningful, fulfilling life.
 

Archangels are powerful, angelic beings

According to the Bible, angels are spiritual beings created by God, serving as messengers and ministers to carry out His will. The term "angel" originates from the Hebrew word mal’ak and the Greek word angelos, both meaning "messenger". They are described as "ministering spirits sent forth to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation" , fulfilling roles as messengers, ministers, warriors, and worshipers.
 

Angels are real, created beings with greater strength and abilities than humans, though they are not immortal and can fall from grace.
 

They are not to be worshiped, as only God deserves worship; they obey God's commands and do not act on human requests. While they are holy and sinless, they possess moral choice and the freedom to choose between good and evil.
 

Why do we need Jesus Christ in our lives today?

 Sin has separated humanity from God, creating a fundamental need for reconciliation and salvation. According to Christian belief, every person has sinned and fallen short of God's perfect standard, resulting in spiritual death and separation from God, which leads to eternal consequences. This separation is the core reason why Jesus is necessary.

Jesus Christ is our solution.

Jesus Christ is seen as the only solution to this problem. He is believed to be God's perfect sacrifice, who lived a sinless life, died on the cross to take upon Himself the punishment for human sin, and rose again, defeating death.
 

Through His atonement, Jesus provides forgiveness, cleansing, and the possibility of a restored relationship with God. Without Him, there is no reconciliation with God.
Beyond salvation, Jesus is needed for abundant life here and now. He offers guidance, wisdom, comfort, and hope during difficult times, strength to resist temptation, and the power to live according to God's will.
 

His presence brings peace, purpose, and fulfillment that cannot be found in worldly pursuits. He is described as the source of true freedom from the guilt and power of sin, replacing fear and hopelessness with faith and hope.
 

Furthermore, Jesus is considered the only way to eternal life and a place prepared by God for believers.


His sacrifice and resurrection provide the foundation for a personal relationship with God, which is essential for navigating life's challenges and finding lasting meaning. As such, embracing Jesus is seen as essential for both present life and eternal destiny.

Smiling can trick your brain into happiness!

Smiling can also lower stress levels, boost your immune system, and potentially prolong your life. Smiling physically activates pathways in the brain that influence your emotional state, and it can trick your mind into feeling happy, regardless of whether it's real or not. Additionally, smiling triggers a chemical reaction in your brain that releases small proteins called neuropeptides, which maintain immune tolerance and may help fight potentially serious illnesses.

Smile at others!

Smiling is a form of nonverbal communication that can communicate positive feelings and intentions towards others, leading to a stronger relationship. A natural smile shared with another person can make someone else smile, feel better about themselves, and feel better about their situation, even if the smile is just for a moment!
