Subject: Pray for the help of an angel??

Helo!

My name is Carlos, and I am a teenager from Mexico. I found your page and the information I got from it was very good, and very useful to me. I have a particular question. Is it considered witchcraft to light a candle and pray for the help of an angel? I would do that, not because I do not trust that God can help me, but because in this times, where angels have become very important, it is said that God created them in order to help us and protect us. What do you think? Is it good or bad to invoke the aid of the Archangels?

Thanks.

Dear Carlos, Greetings in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ.

The word of God, the Holy Bible, tells us very clearly that for any help, guidance, protection, wisdom, or basically any request we have, we should pray to God the Father, in the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ, and by the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord does not want us to pray to anybody or anything else for any kind of help, except to Himself. He alone, the God of the Bible, is the true God, and our protector and provider. To light a candle and pray to any kind of angel is occultism and a SIN. Angels were not created by God to be mediators between us and Him. If we have given our lives to the Lord Jesus Christ, as our personal Lord and Saviour ( Saviour from the wrath of God the Father on sin), then through the Name of the Lord Jesus we have direct access to the throne of God, and through faith in Jesus, He has become our heavenly Father. When we have God, the creator of the universe, as our Father through faith in Jesus, we don't need to go to His creatures (angeles).

We encourage you to set aside a time everyday to study the Bible and ask wisdom from God. "If any of you lack wisdom, he should ask GOD, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him. But when he asks he must believe and not doubt."(James 1:5,6a). "Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving present your request to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding , will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:6,7).

We will pray for you. If I can answer any other question please do not hesitate to contact us.

A very good book to read: Understanding the Occult, by Josh McDowell, by Here's Life Publishers.
