Prompts series 11-of-20 ATCs

Angel creative artist trAding card (ATC)


Are angels protecting and strengthening you?


Are angels seeing the Father in heaven?

Appearing gradually within several minutes on a small, blank ATC parchment paper, is my interpretation (perhaps incorrectly influenced by Renaissance era artists) of an angel making music, praising the Lord, announcing “fear not”, reflecting God’s will and purposes for salvation and life.

Are angels real?

My search found 282 Bible results for “angel” from the English Standard Version. 

What do angels do?

Angels understand the fears and needs of humans. Fallen angels are evil and their leader, Satan, is the father of lies; even so, they are under the authority of God. Learn more about kinds of angel activity. There are multitudes of good messenger angels which tell truth, shine light and more!

Announcing the first coming of our vulnerable, incarnate God.

But as he considered these things, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to him in a dream, saying, “Joseph, son of David, do not fear to take Mary as your wife, for that which is conceived in her is from the Holy Spirit. She will bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus, for he will save his people from their sins.” Matthew 1:20-21
And the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. And behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall call his name Jesus. He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. And the Lord God will give to him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” And Mary said to the angel, “How will this be, since I am a virgin?” And the angel answered her, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you; therefore the child to be born will be called holy—the Son of God. Luke 1:30-35
And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were filled with great fear. And the angel said to them, “Fear not, for behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:9-11

Seeing.

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven. Matthew 18:10

Strengthening.

And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. Luke 22:43

Guarding.

For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Psalm 91:11

Fighting.

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting against the dragon. And the dragon and his angels fought back, but he was defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. Revelation 12:7-8

Gathering with the Lord’s great cloud of witnesses, waiting for the second coming of the Son of Man.

Indeed, so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I tremble with fear.” But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to innumerable angels in festal gathering, and to the assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the judge of all, and to the spirits of the righteous made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood that speaks a better word than the blood of Abel. Hebrews 12:21-23

“But concerning that day and hour no one knows, not even the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father only.” Matthew 24:36
