It's time to pray.

I enjoy my early mornings alone. This is my time with God and time for bible study. I never was into religion that much, but as I grow older, I have accepted God into my life. As I look back over the years, I’ve been blessed a million times and I know I’ve had a lot of help from above.

Sermon over. You may make your offerings to my Paypal. :)
 

I've been a Humanist for most of my life. This virus doesn't change that. I don't believe in a god. It is up to humanity to understand and defeat this terrible illness.
If people get some comfort or hope from praying, that's good. I'll place my hope in science and human determination.
 
I agree with part of what you're saying.

Just a couple of quick thoughts, not trying to turn this into anything religious, or to annoy anyone's beliefs.
 

we are truly blest for sure to have angels around 'just because we dont see them -it does not mean there not there with us '
for what happened to me once driving I now believe for sure there here with us ' we certainly need some type of prayer …..

Well, I greatly admire anyone that can transfer vision to oil on canvas

Me, I deem angels to look quite strong
I mean, with a name like Gabriel.....

Not so sure they are even of a certain gender
Not worth an argument to me
 
Gary, You are right. Angels and Archangels are either male or female. Any sayings other than that are not correct. They are unlike human souls. They hold the light of God. The male angels are strong; magnificent! Any entities other than male or female are at the soul's request and found only on Earth or in the Hells where the lower urges of the physical are indulged. Requests from the souls are always given. A soul may request a body for sexual exploration. People are not angels. The light, the power, the feelings radiating from these beings are often more intense than humans can concieve.
To equate angels with transsexuals and/or humans, (even in jest) or make fun because my paintings of angels are not diverse enough makes me sad. But, I've been through this before.

I always thought angels were male at least the angels of the Old Testament; although they are often made to look feminine. I was also responding to another’s post who said all the angels looked like “white woman” which they did not.

Gear,

No one is making fun of the paintings. The painting are just paintings. But we cannot know the sex of the people who modeled for the paintings or if models were even used.

But a discussion of what people believe angels are might be interesting and relieve the boredom. As for angels not being human, hmm, Jesus Christ was human. Therefore, I believe there could be human angels. Mother Teresa, while a Saint after her death, was surely an angel during her life.

Let’s not forget the fallen angels who, after all, were not very nice. While the fallen angels might have at one time contained the “light of God”, I believe that light would have been taken away when they were cast out. But, I am not an angel expert.

I have never been afraid of death if that is what you are talking about. I don’t know why you think this is neither the time nor the place to discuss whatever you’d like to discuss; but that is your choice.

What church threw you out at the age of 8?-and why? Really curious.

Do I believe angels communicate with you? Yes, yes I do. If I believe in angels, and I do, if I believe angels communicate with certain people, and I do, then I believe they communicate with you. Here is where it gets complicated.

Do we believe in the same God. I don‘t know, but I don’t think so. Do we have the same definition of who and what angels are? I don’t believe so. But faith and belief are personal even if you belong to and believe in a common religion.

Has an angel ever appeared to me? No. Has an angel ever spoken to me? Maybe, once. An angel or a saint or some other entity that I believed to be holy due to the question I believe I was asked by the entity. Short question, one word answer.

Has my “guardian angel” ever acted on my behalf? Yes, I have attributed certain things to a guardian angels intervention; otherwise known as that gut feeling which is sometimes right and sometimes wrong.

Do I think that you should make money from selling books on your communications with angels? No. Here is where we part ways. Here is where doubt enters. Here is where I wonder if you are in communication with fallen angels. But I don’t know.

The angels in the paintings were not and are not all white-so the comment was incorrect. If you are color blind-meaning you have a difficult time telling shades of colors-ask someone else their opinion. But most people can tell the difference between white and non-white.

On earth as it is in heaven.... When I was a little girl, I said my prayer's every night....My Mom was very religious....I was baptized, Catholic,
Made my Communion and Conformation.... I didn't marry in a Roman Catholic Church....Dad was OK with it, Mom wasn't....But of course
went with it cause she loved my husband....I still say my prayers....It doesn't mean what faith you are, it's what is in your Soul....
God Bless, everyone..... No madder what faith or no faith....We need hope.....
 
Now,as we endure this scourge, is a good time for meditation, introspection, a time to tune out the world in a soft reprise and hibernate a little. Read all those wonderful books you've piled up, waiting for a time to indulge; to write your thoughts, perhaps form them into poetry. Maybe catch a spectacular sunset; play with your pets, play your music, sing your songs!
But, most of all ,pray. If you knew the power the angels hold and all the unseen ways they help you, you would beg that they surround you and calm your emotions. Pray, not just for yourself and your family. Pray for the world. Pray to help lift us from ignorance. Pray to feel kindness, compassion, love, tenderness; these will all be given! Pray to integrate the wisdom of angels into our lives.
Prayer can change the predetermined destiny of humankind. Then rise and give thanks.
Aliveness will blossom again on the Earth.. This all begins with your thoughts, your prayers, and the opening of your soul's heart.
If you knew the power and necessity of prayer on the Earth right now, you would pray incessantly!

I know I'm not to offer these words to those who don't appreciate them. I often feel like Dr.McCoy in "The Voyage Home", where he says,"My God! Am I in the dark ages?"
