Practical Pointers
How has this study changed the way you think
about God, Heaven and angels?
Do you feel that "God is on your
side" and sending angels to help you?
Did you know that we can ask God to send angels to help us in times of need?
(Matthew 26:53) Point - praying to angels is
wrong, praying for God to send them to minister to you (which is
their function) is O.K.
Discuss what you have learned tonight, share a point each that has impressed you the break into groups for prayer.
