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. | Archangel Michael is a very special angel to us.

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.”<ref>Ibid.</ref> Sometimes a simple thoughtform like this is all that will be needed to free us from the negative facets of life. | 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.

<blockquote>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. | <blockquote> | ||

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.<ref>Archangel Michael, “A Divine Mediatorship,” {{POWref|25|45|, November 7, 1982}}</ref></blockquote> | |||

Archangel Michael released the following dispensation in 1992: | |||
<!--T:33--> | |||
<blockquote>In the name of Almighty God, I, Archangel Michael, assign to each and every one of you a member of my legions, one single mighty angel who shall stay with you as long as you give the call to Archangel Michael and any of our decrees to Archangel Michael for twenty minutes each day. So long as you sustain that which is the absolute minimum requirement of the Great Law, this angel of my bands shall not leave you until the hour of your ascension in the Light.<ref>Archangel Michael, “Meet Us Halfway,” {{POWref|35|50|, November 8, 1992}}</ref> | |||
</blockquote> | |||
<!--T:36--> | |||
He reiterated the request for twenty minutes of decrees each day in 1994: | |||
<!--T:37--> | |||
<blockquote> | |||
By the power of the Great Causal Body of Faith, I am sealing you. I seal you out of my own heart flame, and I guarantee your protection if you will not fail to call to me, giving my decrees at least twenty minutes each day. And when you give all the decrees and songs on either Archangel Michael cassette, inserting your fiats for the nations and all souls of Light, you will find such extraordinary intercession in your lives through the legions in my command as to make you wonder why you had never locked in to that decree momentum before.<ref>Archangel Michael, “Take Opportunity!” {{POWref|37|41|, October 9, 1994}}</ref> | |||

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’s etheric retreat is in the Canadian Rockies at Banff, near Lake Louise.
