A Channeled Message from Suzanne Ward’s Deceased Son, Matthew
“MATTHEW: The angel assigned to each individual is known as that person’s guardian angel, or gatekeeper. Every person, regardless of his belief or disbelief in angels’ existence, has a guardian angel as his primary, constant, unseen, silent protector, helper, and guide.
SUZANNE: Aren’t angels also called spirit guides?
MATTHEW: Sometimes, but not correctly. They aren’t the same. Spirit guides are the spontaneous and temporary helpers who provide specialized advice or assistance. They are discarnate souls who have had many lifetimes in human bodies and can comprehend mortal needs, temptations, and problems more easily than the higher angels, who have never known the limitations of the physical condition.
For instance, if you are baffled by a complicated appliance, a guide with electronic knowledge is reached energetically by a little ‘Help!’ call that arises in your psyche and is transmitted to the ethers for an energy match. Obviously, that’s not in the same league as a life-threatening situation to which your guardian angel would respond, but the ‘Oh, now I see’ help still is welcome.
You also have far more help than you realize. There is no separation of the soul from any of the assisting forces — angels, spirit guides, beloved ones in this realm light, beings in other realms, and God.
Whatever help you require, even without consciously asking, or that which you earnestly request for yourself or someone you love, that need is registered in the same divine communication system open to all. Whether silent or verbalized, and regardless of to whom directed, your urgent cries for help reach God. Instantaneously the auxiliary lines of energy waves are directed appropriately for the circumstances and immediate help is provided.
The help may not always be recognized, though. Perhaps you. may pray fervently for the recovery of a beloved friend yet she dies. Your plea for her recovery wasn’t ignored, it was preempted by her pre-birth agreement. The response to your prayer could be more emotional strength and solace than if you hadn’t prayed.”
