If you do what would you say is a sign any angels are near?

Yes practical that's just the kind of thing I mean angels as intermediaries for good. I have sensed things lots of times that I can't explain and I put that down to Angel presence

granjura Isn't the "green fairy" absinthe which can be hallucinatory?

Jalima Wed 01-Jun-16 22:59:43

I don't know
Getting worried because I don't know about a lot of things lately (God, angels, the referendum etc).

I think there is a possibility but there are also some charlatans around who have made money by writing books etc and jumping on the 'Angels Bandwagon'.

A surgeon once told me I must have an angel on my shoulder as my dissection had healed up enough for me not to need a serious operation. I believe in that one.

Anniebach Wed 01-Jun-16 22:23:37

Yes practical , that's it

practical Wed 01-Jun-16 21:27:19

TwiceAsNice , I've got lots of books on angels
in some there are cases where someone has been In danger and someone appears and saves them yet when they turn to thank them they are no longer there.

The only green fairy I know of is the one that goes "hands that do dishes feel as soft as your face with mild green fairy liquid"!

granjura Wed 01-Jun-16 09:25:11

LOL Alima, no, no magic mushroom. You've surely heard of the Green Fairy (and no, despite all indications to the contrary in my case- it does not make you mad- only if, like Van Gogh, you mix it with turps and drink it by the litre ;) )...

Aw cariad

TwiceAsNice Tue 31-May-16 23:35:12

So glad to be in agreement with a kindred spirit Anniebach us Welsh must stick together lol

Anniebach Tue 31-May-16 23:25:24

I so agree TwiceasNice.

Yes absolutely they are a link between us and Heaven sent to intercede for us even when we don't realise it. I think many unexplained happenings for good are because of angels.

However I think you either believe in them or not, if a lot of gransneters are unbelieving of God they probably aren't going to believe in Angels either . I can't prove they exist but neither can you prove they dont.

Practical, our healing guild meets at our church. We have people involved in medicine , hospices etc give talks, we discuss Christ's healing ministry . We accept we are praying for healing without expecting what we think should the answer should be. There are guilds throughout the country . Last year I recall it said it had started in 1915,

No laying on of hands , we not only pray for the sick but the community, the environment.

If you would like a link I will pm it to you.

I don't believe in fairies or ghosts, or angels. I don't believe in fortune tellers or psychics or lucky heather or four leaved clovers. I don't think I am being very romantic this evening, but like Jinglebellsfrocks I am on a Gransnetting roll. This means I will spout rubbish just for the sake of it.

However, I am rather suspicious of Spiderman.

Anniebach sounds good, if you have time can you tell me what it entails?

Anniebach Mon 30-May-16 22:42:39

I belong to the Raphael Healing Guild practical

Greenfinch, I call them Earth Angels

Marmark1 Mon 30-May-16 22:18:35

Nope,definitely not,

practical Mon 30-May-16 22:18:33

Greenfinch If you feel ill trying asking archangel Raphael for healing , he is the healing angel

practical Mon 30-May-16 22:16:16

Anniebach I believe in angels and archangels, God sent his angels to help humanity .

In the first world war at the battle of Mons there is a story about angels saving the troops.
