Ellen Chat Conversation

Ellen White’s writings emphasize that every follower of Christ is assigned a guardian angel who provides unceasing protection against the agencies of evil (HF 316), (GrH_c 7). She describes these heavenly beings as ministering spirits who attend to those who believe and claim the promises of God, forming an invisible army of light and power (CM 110). This guardianship is a constant reality, even when individuals do not fully realize the thousands of dangers from which they are being preserved (FW 69.2).

While she frequently engaged in "talks" and "communion" with colleagues and brethren to share the messages God gave her (9MR 198), (11MR 109), (16MR 26), her relationship with guardian angels was characterized by a different type of interaction. She explains that through faith and prayer, a person can call these heavenly messengers to their side (Pr 256.3). These angels mark every sincere prayer and respond to the mandates of Christ to provide help (Pr 255.2). The interaction with a guardian angel is often described as an internal prompting rather than a casual conversation. When a person is in danger of doing wrong, the guardian angel is present to influence their actions and even choose their words for them (Pr 256.3).

In her own experience, she noted that she spoke only what the Lord gave her, indicating a divine guidance that directed her public testimonies and private counsel (9MR 198), (20MR 119). Furthermore, she highlights that heaven intervenes directly to protect God's servants when they are in peril. She mentions instances where ministering angels guarded those who were in danger while traveling to share the gospel, preventing the interference of Satanic influences (14MR 77.3). This protective presence is a gift for which she encouraged daily gratitude and recognition at the family altar (FW 69.2).
