A Letter to You from Your Guardian Angel July 23, 2009

A Love Letter

By Angela Posey-Arnold

Greetings to you, my charge, in the name of The Lord our God and Creator Who lovingly assigned me to you. There are just a few things we need to clear up. I suppose it is odd for you to get a letter from me, your Guardian Angel, but I can’t wait any longer to serve this message to you.

I bring glorious good tidings of great joy. It is in my job description. I know you can’t see me but you know I am there. Remember just last week you felt my presence? Yes, that was me, sent by God to comfort and protect you. I am always with you. Possibly you know my work.

I want you to know that I am not in the little golden pin you see on lapels throughout your culture. I am surely not a trumpet toting porcelain figurine on the coffee table.  

I am a messenger and a protector for you. Everything I do is by command of God. I am very old according to your standards and I have been there with you through every trail and every joy. I was there to hear your borning cry and I will be there the day you leave earth. I am fascinated with you.

Be confident of the daily care and protection I was created for. You are the reason God sent me. But, make no mistake about it; God is the One worthy of worship. It makes me very uncomfortable when humans set us angels higher than we should be. Your worship and all your love must remain with God lest you be deceived.

Sometimes I ponder as you go about your daily business if you really know me or what it is you think of me. So many years have rolled by and I am concerned that you truly must understand who I am and why God created me. I want you to know God’s truth about angels. God is sovereign, only Him do we worship. You worship Him and I worship Him. I want you to know me because I will be a part of your eternal environment.

I am eternal and I am always pointing you in the right direction-toward God. Remember how we sang when Jesus was born. We were pointing you to Him then.

As an angel I already know the fullness of heaven. Someday, my beloved, you will experience it with me. Angels do God’s perfect will and we do so gladly. You can find everything you need to know about me in God’s Holy Word. Don’t pray to me, pray to Him. And for heaven’s sake don’t set me up as an idol. Talk about uncomfortable—that really gets under my wings. I am just a ministering spirit sent to serve the redeemed.

Some humans see us from time to time and some do not. As wonderful as it would be to be visible in your presence God has given you something better. He has given you the greatest gift of all. His absolute presence through His Holy Spirit.

I am far more involved in your world than you realize. That is why I am writing this letter. I want you to know me and the amazing things God’s Word tells you about me and my kind. Reading and meditating on His Word will bring you closer to Him, and that is what I want for you. His Word has over 300 references to my kind. We know He loves us and created us for a very special purpose.

When you die you will not be an angel. You will still be the redeemed. You will have songs to sing that we can’t sing, but we rejoice with you. Some humans may criticize you for believing in me, but don’t let that worry you one bit. You are in better company than they are.

Oh, and don’t be like those Sadducees. They really were ‘sad you see’. We all know what happened to them and they did not believe in us. We watched as the apostles were brought before the no-such-thing-as-angels crowd. Those Sadducees spurned angels; they also dropped from history within a generation. The imprisoned apostles simply obeyed God’s message delivered by none other than yours truly. They changed history’s course forever.

I love Matthew 25:31 “when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him,” Actually, I can’t wait for this day and we are in constant preparation. You should be too.

In closing, my beloved, remember to worship and pray to God. Only the Creator is worthy of worship, not the created. Prepare for the coming again of your Savior Jesus Christ and listen to the Holy Spirit within you. I will be with you. I think you are wonderful.

Angel kisses from heaven,

Your Guardian Angel

Michael’s Message July 7, 2009

Michael’s Memorial

By Angela Posey-Arnold

I wasn’t prepared today to sit for several hours and watch the memorial for Michael Jackson. I didn’t think I wanted to watch it, but when it began I couldn’t stop watching.

What I realized was that Michael Jackson’s heart just could not take the pain. I, like so many others, grew up with him. I listened to his music, sang along and watched in amazement as he danced. No one else can really ever compare to his unique talent. The talent that brought him so much joy, the talent that brought with it fame and fortune.

After watching the memorial today I am convinced he was really a good caring God fearing person who could not take the pain of this world. In preparing his last concert series he had some things to say to the world. He knew Jesus. He knew God. I just think Michael’s heart had taken all it could take. A heart can only be broken so many times. A heart can only take so much.

In living his life he entertained millions around the world. He gave and gave and gave until he gave all he had. And there were those that took and took and took until they had taken all he had. The last two songs he wanted the world to hear were, We Are the World, and Heal our World. There is a message in that.

Maybe after all the public attacks on him, he just couldn’t take the pain. Maybe when people he thought loved him turned their backs on him, he just could not take the pain. Maybe, when he saw the horrible things happening to our country he just couldn’t take the pain. Maybe all the isms were just too much for him.

He did take drugs, maybe to numb the pain of it all. The betrayals, the losses, the hopelessness of so many who have turned from God, this can be too much for man’s heart. Possibly, he knew that so many needed to turn back to God. I never would have thought that his life would be such a testimony to Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior but it was.

He was persecuted and attacked. The ones, who allowed airtime today for his memorial, were the very ones who allowed and condoned public persecution of a man who was not proven to be guilty of the allegations against him.

If the media had realized the Christian nature of the memorial they would not have aired it. It was a surprise Christian service, for that I thank the Jackson family.

While he was living he hurt so badly over the betrayal and the pain of the sickness of the world and our nation. Today’s memorial proves that President Obama is wrong. We are still a Christian nation whether he likes it or not.

This world will take a 10 year old with a God given talent for singing and dancing and apply so much pressure that the heart of that one is broken into pieces, bit by bit. The media runs rampant over the lives of people who are given talents that they cannot even imagine. We have seen this in Michael’s life and in the life of Sarah Palin. Nothing the media says is ever really what is true. The media, the courts, lawyers, and evil killed Michael.

Not because he indulged in it but because he was a light. He had a light for God and evil had to kill it.

But evil did not win. Michael’s music and his influence will be felt around the world for ever, until Jesus comes. His family talked of his relationship with Christ. And the memorial service was filled with love for Jesus and God. The Holy Spirit led the ones who sang and spoke to use this occasion to heal our land like Michael wanted.

1 Chronicles 7:14 says “if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves and pray and turn from their wicked ways then I will hear from heaven and heal their land.” That is exactly the message Michael Jackson left to the world. After years and years of pain and suffering his death brought the truth into the open and there was nothing the media could do to stop it.

His personal friends have testified that Michael knew he did not have long for this earth. The tour he was working on he entitled, This Is It. The songs he loved the best of the tour were in essence messages to the world. We are the world, we are God’s children and we must come together with one voice. The voice of God. If we could only all join in one voice, believe and profess Jesus as King of King and Lord of Lords, this world would change drastically. Now is the time to turn to Jesus. Now is the time to humble ourselves and let God heal our land.

Our nation cannot put our trust in a man; our trust must be in God.
When you pause to remember Michael and when you hear his music thinks about his life and all he endured. His heart just too big, his heart too caring that he could not continue to take the pain of loss and betrayal, persecution, lies and the current human condition. His message for us all is to change. Change. Believe on Jesus Christ. Make the right choice. Love life but love Jesus more.

Michael’s life on earth is over. His work here is done. I am not his judge but I do believe that those who knew him best knew that he was a very caring, compassionate, child of God who accepted the truth of Jesus. I pray he is in heaven today, no more pain from this old world. No more suffering and his heart soaring with gladness because he believed.

The memorial today was very dignified and inspirational. When someone famous dies I always pray that they knew Jesus and believed that He is the Son of God, born of a virgin, raised from the dead to live forever and is coming back one day. I believe now that Michael did. For that I praise God.

The redeemed of the Lord have a new singer in the choir today. Maybe they have learned a step or two of dancing for the Lord of the Dance—Christ Jesus.

Thanks Michael for your contribution to this old sorrowful world. No more pain, now you can rest.
