Michael, The Arc-angel, vanquishing Satan

inspired by the book of Revelation

The name Michael means "who is like God?"

I couldn't imagine wanting any other angel to guide my way.

Michael is the one and only Archangel who heals, who fights,

who wins against the powers of satan.

Satan would love for you to believe that St Michael is no one

that can help you in your times of distress, but I beg to differ.

The Bible lets us know that St Michaels job to defeat evil and

heal.

I dont give the angels the glory but I am glad they are on my

side. God places two angels around people, one in the front

and one in the back and Im sure those two gaurdians call upon

the name of St Michael to assist them, when the going gets

tough.

God says we don't worship angels but God also gave us the

information about the angels, so that we would know they are

there for us.

Michael is one of the principal angels in Abrahamic tradition;

his name was said to have been the war-cry of the angels in

the battle fought in heaven against Satan and his followers.

Michael, the Archangel, is God's commander in battle, the powerful messenger

of His truth, who fights against evil and its deceptions. He is a symbol of God's victory

over the forces of darkness; a pledge that God and the forces of good will prevail

no matter how hard the struggle.

St. Michael is also called upon at the time of death, when one must struggle

against fear and darkness. Like the angel who came to strengthen

Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane, St. Michael is a patron to call

when death draws near.

(Revelation 12: 1-12).

Now war arose in heaven, Michael and his angels fighting

against the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought,

but they were defeated and there was no longer any place

for them in heaven. And the great dragon was thrown down,

that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the

deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the

earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. And I heard

a loud voice in heaven, saying, "Now the salvation and the

power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his

Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been

thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our

God. And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb

and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their

lives even unto death. Rejoice then, O heaven and you that

dwell therein! But woe to you, O earth and sea, for the devil

has come down to you in great wrath, because he knows

that his time is short!"

Lord, I ask you to send Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle;

protect us against the deceit and wickedness of the devil. May God

rebuke him we humbly pray.And you, O prince of the heavenly host, by

the power of God banish into hell Satan and all of the evil spirits who

roam through the world seeking the ruin of souls. Throughthe name

of Christ I pray, Amen
