Jacob’s Ladder

In Genesis, Jacob dreams of a ladder.

“And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it.” (Genesis 28:11-13, KJV)

God imparted this dream to Jacob in order to show him how angels continuously move from heaven to earth. The ladder is a metaphor for the path that angels continuously travel on to get from “there” to “here.”

Since travel happens interdimensionally, though, it is incorrect to think of movement over distance. Yet, as mortals who live in the third dimension, it is almost impossible for us not to do so. That’s because we need reference points.

The fidelity of angels

Angels are faithful because God is faithful. Since angels work for God, they faithfully perform the missions he assigns them. They faithfully go “back” and “forth” bridging the gap between corporeality and immortality.

Angels and mortals

Guardian angels have wards. They spend much time, therefore, thinking about their wards and figuring out ways to help them. I know this to be true because that’s exactly what my guardian angel does for me 24/7. I write about this extensively in my angel books.

The hairs on your head

God knows everything. He is omniscient. That’s why Saint Luke said,

“But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:6-8, KJV)

God assigns angels to us because we are important to him. We are precious and valuable. We matter to him highly.

Every breath we take

Because the fourth dimension—where angels live—never “sleeps,” our guardian angel is ever aware of what we’re doing. Every breath we take is felt by them. This is how close angels are to people and how much God loves us. There is an age-old relationship between people and angels.

Conscious awareness

If you believe that you have a guardian angel watching over you and that this angel is faithful to you from the moment of your birth to the time you pass away, then you’ll understand the depth of God’s love for you.

If you understand this concept, it will affect your behavior.

I’ve heard faithful people say that they no longer do things that will upset their guardian angel. This is because they are now able to consciously feel and appreciate their guardian angel’s presence, love and fidelity, and understand the responsibility involved in being a ward.

Thanks for stopping by my blog.

God bless and may you see angels.
