Saint Michael The Archangel

Good Morning and Blessings Everyone!


I am sure we have all heard the biblical stories of Saint Michael leading the Gods armies into battle against evil therefore defeating Satan. I know those are the stories I grew up hearing in Church or Sunday school. I am also sure we are all too familiar with the image of this mighty heavenly warrior holding his shield as he goes into battle against evil. In all the paintings and statues I have ever seen of Saint Michael he stands holding his shield with sword in hand ready to do battle. He uses his shield as a barrier to protect us from all harm. He keeps away negativity and therefore keeps us safe from harm.

As I grew older and wiser I have called on Saint Michael for a number reasons many times. For me and for many of my friends and like-minded individuals I have come to know and love, we call on Saint Michael for assistance. To say we do not call on him to “fight our battles,” to stand besides us in time of trouble would be lie but that is not all we call to him for. Saint Michael is there for us. Call out his name and he is standing beside you to lend you support, boast your courage, and help build your confidence. There have been many times when my self-esteem was at an all-time low so I called on Saint Michael to help me see who I really am inside and not to worry so much about the outer shell. He stands by you and with a gentle touch of his wing he guides you to find and experience new opportunities. It is up to you to call to him for help. Saint Michael will not invade your space but will come if invited by you. Ask him for what you need even if it is to help you heal, Saint Michael the Archangel will be there.

Well now you are asking how do I know he is there helping me. How do I know he has heard me? I have had the pleasure of hearing the angels as they guide me. This is a gift I cherish. Each one is different just like no two humans are completely the same. I like talking with Saint Michael he is clear and loud enough even for me to hear. My family will appreciate that comment since I am honestly a bit hard of hearing. I used to joke when I started doing my angel readings because there were days I swore I had a comedian talking to me. As I learned about the angels I discovered Saint Michael has a good sense of humor as well as a few others that have visited me. You will find when he is present there comes the feeling of love and peace all around you.

Saint Michael the Archangel is always in your corner. He is more a life coach than a by stander. Like many coaches though Saint Michael does not sugar coat his messages. He is blunt and to the point, take it or leave it, but my advice to you is to listen because he is there to guide you through. Do not mistake is tone as being overbearing or bossy he is just being forceful so we hear him. It is his goal to help us stand tall and not wait around for something to happen but to take the bull by the horns and make it happen.  He wants to spark us into action so to speak. Just like any coach Saint Michael pushes hard to have us stand up for ourselves and take the action we need to get on the path we need to be on regardless of what it is we are looking to him for guidance for. For those people who feel they have no place else to turn, if they just stopped and listened, felt his gentle push, they would understand they are not alone for Saint Michael is by their side. He is guiding them out of their daze but they have to follow him to see the light.

I mentioned the peacefulness that comes with the appearance of Saint Michael or any other angel for that matter. If you took the time to mediate and feel the peacefulness as it washes over you, you will hear their message. I lost people in my family I thought would be here till I was old and grey, like many of you. My mother, my sister whom I had a pact with that we would sit on the porch and enjoy our grandchildren together as we sipped iced tea, and most recently my father. Three of the most devastating times in my life. I don’t know how many times during these times plus many more in my life I heard the sound of the angels call out to me. Each time I was devastated and sure I was alone but they reminded me I was not. I would hear my name called out sharply as if someone was trying to startle me into realizing I was not alone. I know Saint Michael stood by my side because I called out to him for help. I could feel the peacefulness of his presence during each and every one of these times in my life helping me get through one ordeal or another. Most importantly I feel him every day of my life. I feel him when all is good and I just reach out to thank him for protecting me and my family. For being there to watch over all those I love and all those in this world who I don’t know but need his help. Yes I thank him for the help he gives to people I never even said hello to since I ask him to lend a hand to them. If I ask for help from Saint Michael or any other angel be it for me, a friend, a family member, or someone I never even met, the least I can do is say thank you for all their help. Please don’t ever forget to show your appreciation.

I often ask my friends this question: Have you ever been stressed out, feeling lost, just needed to talk to someone anyone and sat in a quiet place praying or talking to no one in particular but yet you got the feeling someone was there? During any of these times did you ever feel as if you suddenly received the most amazing hug in the world? A hug that brought you warmth and love even though you could not physically see anyone around you! You may not have called out his name but you called out and Saint Michael came to wrap you in his wings and bring you calm as he soothed your nerves and calmed your fears. It is the most amazing feeling I have ever felt.

Saint Michael or any angel often gives us a sign they hear us in the physical world. I mean there are so many of us who question if we are really hearing, seeing, even understanding the messages we get. It stands to reason if we ask for proof they hear us we will receive such proof. I have heard people say they find pennies all over the place even dimes. I know people who when talking to the angels suddenly see butterflies, even feathers. For me when I ask for a sign I get dragonflies! One of the big reasons I love them so much.
There are many nights I sit in the quiet to talk to my guides. Many nights I call out to Saint Michael for strength and healing. I know he is always there for me. In the mornings I love to light a white candle and ask for Saint Michael to be by side to keep me and my family safe and at peace. No matter when I ask or how many times a day I call out to him Saint Michael is there and I always say thank you for all the help he has given me. I remember a message I got from Saint Michael a few years back. He told me not to worry about calling out to him. No matter how busy he is he will always come because all angels and multitask! I laughed but he told me I often neglect to ask for help for myself because I always worried he was busy helping others in need. Saint Michael said he receives many requests every day but he is never too busy to go out and help all who call. So do not worry he is occupied helping others he will be there for you as well. Just let him hear your voice.
