Bible Question: Does God use dreams to speak to us today? Can anyone point out where it says we have a guardian angel? |
Bible Answer: Greetings Justme, I do not believe that it is impossible for the Lord to speak to us through our dreams today, even though I believe that any and every revelation that we receive has to coincide and not be in conflict with the revelation that has already been given to us in His Holy Word. As for "guardian angels", this topic has been discussed at this Forum before. Here is some of what I have written concerning "guardian angels"... "There is a passage in Acts 12:15 where a woman named Rhoda mistakens Peter for his angel. I presume that this verse, along with Matthew 18:10, 2 Kings 6:17, Luke 16:22, Matthew 26:53 and Psalm 91:9-11 help to support the idea of a 'guardian angel'.." "..I read Acts 12:15 and came to the conclusion that this was not supportive of the theory of guardian angels either. Hebrews 1:14 comes the closest to giving evidence for guardian angels, but one cannot base a belief of guardian angels on that since it only mentions angels as 'ministering spirits'.. I agree with you that the idea of everyone having their own individual angel is hard to grasp. If something were to happen to us, like a car accident, then we ask "Where was my angel?". It is good to keep in mind that God uses adversity to help develop our 'faith muscles' (James 1:2-4). And even though God may not always remove us from the midst of adversity, He will always walk with us through the adversity (Psalm 23:4). So either way, God knows all and sees all, but these verses alone are not conclusive enough (for me) to prove that we each have a guardian angel that is stationed or commissioned to us."
