Miguel e Fé
Arcanjo Miguel é o arcanjo do primeiro raio da proteção, da fé e da vontade de Deus. É o Príncipe dos Arcanjos e das Hostes Angélicas, o Defensor da Fé, o Anjo da Libertação. O Livro de Daniel define-o como “o grande príncipe que protege os filhos do Teu povo.”[1] A Arqueia Fé é o seu complemento divino.
Historical accounts
O Arcanjo Miguel figura como o maior e o mais reverenciado anjo das escrituras e das tradições judaica, cristã e islâmica. Nesta última, ele é o anjo da natureza que providencia alimento e conhecimento para o homem. Na tradição mística judaica, é identificado como o anjo que lutou com Jacó, destruiu os exércitos de Senaqueribe e salvou os três hebreus da fornalha ardente. O Arcanjo Miguel foi o anjo que apareceu a Josué quando este se preparava para liderar os israelitas na batalha de Jericó.
O apóstolo João cita o arcanjo no Livro do Apocalipse, no qual revela que foi Miguel quem expulsou do céu o diabo e os seus anjos e os lançou na Terra.[2] Foi assim que soubemos que os anjos caídos encarnaram e que os inimigos do Cristo estão no mundo físico. É o Arcanjo Miguel, juntamente com as legiões do relâmpago azul, que servem com ele, que defendem as crianças de Deus do inimigo e do Anticristo.
His sword and armour
Miguel e as suas legiões descem diariamente ao plano astral, vestindo poderosas armaduras azuis, carregando escudos e espadas de chama azul. Ali, libertam os que atravessaram a tela da vida, mas não conseguem elevar-se às oitavas superiores de serviço nem aos retiros dos mestres.
Ele e os seus anjos da libertação trabalham nesses níveis vinte e quatro horas por dia para libertarem as almas da criação humana que acumularam no decorrer dos séculos e das projeções dos seres das trevas. Servem ali há muitas eras e Miguel diz que está determinado a não desistir até que o último filho da luz no planeta se eleve à Origem Divina, no ritual da ascensão.
Para libertar os portadores de luz dos emaranhados astrais, o Arcanjo Miguel usa uma espada de chama azul forjada de uma pura substância luminosa. Essa espada é uma vara de poder da chama azul que ele empunha para proteger a humanidade, desde a descida dos retardatários e dos luciféricos ao plano da Terra. Segundo Miguel, trata-se de uma espada divina. Ela veio do Grande Sol Central – uma dádiva vinda do coração do próprio Deus – e foi-lhe passada pelo poderoso Elohim Hércules. Quando a espada de chama azul brilha, nenhuma manifestação negativa pode opor-se a ela.
Também é possível invocar a espada de chama azul. Visualize-a no tom azul elétrico e cintilante que vemos na chama azul do queimador de um fogão a gás. Pegue a espada com a mão direita. Passe-a em redor de si mesmo, diariamente, enquanto faz decretos dinâmicos, para ser libertado de tudo que o aprisiona e o impede de alcançar a vitória. Em seguida, maximize os decretos incluindo pedidos de libertação para todos que estão no planeta e até mesmo para a salvação do próprio planeta. Chamados diários ao Arcanjo Miguel pedindo-lhe proteção e o seu momentum de fé e devoção à vontade de Deus, assegurarão a proteção dos que avançam em seu nome e servem como defensores da fé.
Students may also call to Archangel Michael for the cloak of invisibility, invincibility and invulnerability and for the mighty blue armour when they go forth to do battle with the forces of evil. Archangel Michael is part of the fraternity of lightbearers known as “Shield,” whose members serve twenty-four hours a day to protect the image of the Christ in every man, woman and child embodied upon this planet.
Archangel Michael’s service
Archangel Michael is a very special angel to us. He, with his legions of light, has dedicated himself for thousands and thousands of years to the safety, the security, the perfectionment of our souls and to our protection; caring for us, sponsoring us, rebuking us, teaching us the way of God’s holy will, giving us to understand that we each have a blueprint in life, that we have a divine plan. So tender and so present is the love of God for us, and he makes that known to us especially in a most personal way through his angels.
The Goddess of Liberty says: “Archangel Michael is at your side and does answer your call and does answer it best when you keep a daily momentum” of prayers to him. “Your call for help will be answered instantaneously when you have built this momentum.”[3] Archangel Michael has made the commitment to each and every one of us that if we will give our decrees and songs to him for twenty minutes each day, he will keep an angel with us until the hour of our victory.
Archangel Michael also offers to give us his momentum of faith, as he says, “Give me your doubts. Give me your questionings. I will indeed give you my faith. And my faith is a power to transform and direct into the world the great blue-lightning love of the infinite Father of all. This power and this faith is real.”[4]
Sometimes all that is necessary for us to successfully pass through a difficult moment of testing is to know that we have friends of light who are upholding us and praying for our overcoming. However, when an archangel offers his faith to humanity, it is our responsibility to accept his gift, invoke his flame and his intercession, and make it a part of our lives. He says, “When sight is obtained, of what need is faith? It is not I who need faith then—except to give it away—but it is you who require it.”[5]
In most cases, the battle of life is not won on momentous decisions but on the little day-to-day experiences whereby, when you turn your heart to God in faith and trust, you receive the grace that cuts you free from the negative aspects of life in which your consciousness has momentarily become trapped. We can visualize the pathway of faith as a “mighty shimmering ribbon of light substance connecting the individual with his God Presence.”[6] Sometimes a simple thoughtform like this is all that will be needed to free us from the negative facets of life.
Archangel Michael has offered us another great gift from his heart of love—a dispensation given in Boston on April 22, 1961:
Blessed and beloved ones, some of you are of advancing years, and it will not be long before you shall vacate your body temples. Some of you shall do so by the ascension and some shall enter the realms of our world in the other manner called death.... I will make you one promise: If you will call to me secretly within your heart and ask me to come to you at that hour, I, Michael, will materialize to you at the hour of your passing and you will see me as I AM. And I will promise you that I will help to cut you free from the remaining portions of your karma and will help you to enter the realms of light with less of the attendant pain that results from human fear in their passing.
This is a privilege and a gift I give you from my heart. I flood it forth to the people of Boston and to those throughout the world who have the faith to accept and to realize that God walks and talks with men today in the same manner as of old. I AM Michael, Prince of the Archangels, rendering for the earth a cosmic service.[7]
Retreat
► Main article: Temple of Faith and Protection
Archangel Michael’s etheric retreat is in the Canadian Rockies at Banff, near Lake Louise. He also has a focus of light over Central Europe. His keynote is “The Navy Hymn” (“Eternal Father, Strong to Save”). The music of the “Bridal Chorus” from Lohengrin may also be used to invoke the radiance of the archangels and the angelic hosts.
Archangel Michael is the sponsor of police departments and law enforcement agencies around the world.
