Spiritualism & the Ministry of Angels

One of the central teachings of Spiritualism is the belief in the Ministry of Angels. Spiritualists believe that angels, elevated spirits, are sent as messengers and teachers from God to aid us in our spiritual unfoldment. The Book of Psalms says, “For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.” 

One of Rochester, New York's early Spiritualist leaders, Rev. Benjamin Austin wrote, “angels help us in a vast variety of ways – but chiefly as unseen, loving guides they seek to impress us with such thoughts and sentiments as will lead us safely and securely through the tangled mazes of our earth life and develop the spiritual in our characters.” 

These simple suggestions are based on the teachings of Rev. Austin: 

By purifying our own thoughts, purposes, and desires so that the best and strongest guides and helpers may come near us. 

When we look within us, we find that we have an inner light that connects us to the Divine Mind, the more in touch we are to this light, the more clear and more open we are to the angels who seek to guide us. 

Every morning and evening send out thoughts and desires strongly to your angel friends and say in the depth of your being, with a realizing sense of truth: “We are partners, Oh Blessed Angels, in the work of Life.” 

The Psalms say, “declare Your lovingkindness in the morning, And Your faithfulness every night” If we start and end each day with our hearts and minds uplifted to the highest and best we will start to see a very strong connection, and develop a strong communication with our angel guides in our daily lives. 

Wait regularly in silence of the soul, in reverence, in faith and hope, upon the angel world. 

When we find a quiet spot, where all the world around us is slowed down, and we simply abide in awareness and spirit, we are better able to hear the “still small voice” within us, through which the Angels speak to us. Take some time every day, even just a few minutes, to sit and breathe and commune with the Divine Presence and the angels who guide you.
