GUARDIAN ANGELS
AND
SPIRIT FRIENDS

By
The Man Who Saw God Face To Face
Raphael Okechukwu Nweze


Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones;
for I say unto you, That in Heaven their angels do always
behold the face of my Father which is in Heaven.
Matthew 18:10


What Is A Guardian Angel?
         A guardian Angel is a powerful spirit assigned to you. His duties include:
  1. To give you companionship (i.e. to be with you always).
  2. To protect you.
  3. To enable you take informed decisions.
  4. To give revelations to you. That is why you should value your dreams, visions, trances, etc.
  5. To inspire you to greater and better things and levels of life.
The angel of the LORD encamps
round about them that fear him,
and delivers them.
 Psalm 34:7

The Two Angels
         In the parable of the weeds, Jesus explained how a man sowed good seeds in his field, and of how the man’s enemy came and sowed weeds. The wheat and weeds have two separate meanings.
         The wheat refer to the children of God, who were created as mankind; and the weeds are the children of Devil, the evil spirits, who were placed in the midst of mankind by the Devil to cause confusion.
         So, it follows that everybody has two Angels: one as a Guardian Angel from God, and the other is the evil spirit from Satan. The Guardian Angel wants to lead you in all righteousness, while the evil spirit wants to lead you in all unrighteousness. Indeed, these evil spirits are also the monitoring spirits you often hear about.

Spirit Friends
         Everybody has spirit friends. These spirit friends comprise Guardian Angels, relations and loved ones who have departed, as well as those still alive. The unfortunate thing is that people are unaware of these spirit friends. They swarm about us, despite our seeming ignorance of their presence. One major problem is that stories and misconceptions make people believe that all spirit friends are evil. As a matter of fact, there are evil spirits who also parade themselves as friends. But they are far less in number than our true and good spirit friends. Also, they are less powerful. One is never alone, even in a lonely place.

Evidence Abounds
         Evidences abound to prove the reality of spirit friends. Sometimes, we dream of meeting a friend. In the physical life, we may not have such a friend. Yet, the dream friend is real and active, though some do not value dreams, which they consider as figments of imaginations. As part of the new awakening which this book provides, you should start now to value your dreams, so that more important things can be revealed to you. Otherwise, you will be treated according to your faith. For your belief is a key; it either opens the doors of realities for you to know and experience better, or locks you out so that realities seem meaningless and insignificant, even non-existent.

According to your faith be it unto you. Matthew 9:29

         Often in life, you meet somebody whom you seem to recognize. “I think I know this person,” one would say. Yet, in your present life, you do not have such a person. Such people we think we know are among those people we have encountered, known or associated with in our previous incarnations.
         Sometimes, we observe that a good marriage soon turns sour after a while. There are quarrels, abuses and cases which seem unending. Many of these marriage problems are caused by evil spirits who claim to be friends, husbands, wives or children. Some girls testify of swimming or playing with friends in dreams. The dreams are not mere occurrences. They are true events that happen in the spirit world when we sleep. For when we sleep, the body is weak and resting; but the spirit is wide awake, free and active. Therefore, it travels to many places, associates with many other spirits and participates in several events.
         People are usually unaware of the spirit friends simply because they do not see them with the ordinary eyes. “Out of sight, out of mind,” people normally say. This is true with human beings and it is so in the physical realm. But the reverse is the case in spirit realm. There it becomes “once in mind, then in presence.” Once you remember your loved ones, they immediately (instantly) become present with you. Spirit friends can appear and disappear at will.
         There are people who do not believe in dreams or spirit friends. The things explained in this book are true, whether people believe them or not. Jesus himself confirmed the existence of spirit friends.
         One, in the transfiguration, he was seen with two of his old friends, Moses and Elijah.
         Two, in Matthew 28:20, he said,

and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world. Amen.

         David was emphatic, when he said that

The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them. Psalm 34:7

         The same was true in the life of Eleisha.

And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do? And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha. II Kings 6:15-17

         Very importantly, it is necessary that you correct this wrong impression that all spirits are evil and harmful. It is wrong to believe that all your ancestors and loved ones who have died are now evil spirits wishing to harm you. Does it sound wise?
         The good spirit friends want your companionship and friendship, just as your heart equally yearns for them. They want to help you succeed, help protect you and help enlighten you. Is it not embarrassing that pagans understand spiritual matters more than the Christians? Is it not the Christians (as the light of the nations) that suppose to lead in this knowledge?
         I was on evangelism sometime in the past. Inside the bus, I had a trance. Then I saw two vehicles moving abreast: The one in which I was seating, and another one in which were prophets and ministers of God. When I opened my eyes, it was only my own vehicle that was on the road. I then realized that Angels and spirit friends were accompanying me on the evangelism.
         In another encounter, I was in the spirit during sleep. I know quite well that I was in spirit. After the travels and experiences, I woke up. And as I was about to wake up, I saw a tall university professor leaving the room. The message he gave as he was moving out was, “Till next time”. Undoubtedly, one of my Angel teachers had come to teach me several things, and promised to come again. And surely, he will!
         One day, I entered the office of a man of God. The moment I entered, he asked, “Who are all these girls following you about?” and as many ignorant people would say, “I do not know,” was my response. Latter, I met a prophet and asked him about whom those girls were. He said, “They are the girls who so much love you that they want you to marry them.” Physically, they are far away. But, spiritually they are both friends and companions, (moving about with you).

How To Identify Guardian Angels And Good Spirit Friends
         You can identify the good ones By Their Fruits , interrogation, prayer request, familiarity, etc.
         By Their Fruits means by the things they think, do or say. The good ones lead you unto all righteousness. Jesus clearly explained it.

Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. Ye shall know them By Their Fruits . Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. Wherefore By Their Fruits ye shall know them. Matthew 7:15-20

         You can identify the good ones is by interviewing them. With such questions as:          By prayer request, you ask God to confirm or expose the spirit. This was one of the strategies adopted by Adam and Eve to defeat Satan on several occasions. When the spirits are present, ask, say, or pray with any of the following:
  1. “Let God reveal the spirit present.”
  2. “Let God confirm this spirit”
  3. “Oh God, if this spirit is not from you, let Holy Spirit fire consume it”.
  4. “Oh God, who is this spirit speaking?”
         Familiarity is helpful when you have associated with spirits for sometime. By then, you can recognize the spirits by their voices, appearances, sincerity, signs, etc.
