ANGELIC FUNCTION: To stand for truth and deliver the word of God
GIFTS FOR THE EARTH: He can help us to express our truth openly and honestly; respect and honour our individuality; listen to our intuition and inner voice
Traditionally Gabriel is the messenger of the Word of God. His name means ‘God is my Strength’. He announces the mystery of incarnation to all souls before they are born and he instructs us all as to what our talents and tasks in this world will be. He is the patron saint of small children and he looks after and nourishes the child in each of us, a child who may be arrested in growth or wounded and in need of love. He guides us to release our inner child with words of tenderness and love. His guiding hand is always there to protect what is natural and pure within us.
All religions honour Gabriel as the most powerful messenger of the Source. He never tires of delivering the Word of God to those who will listen and honour the Source within themselves. He is known as the Chief Ambassador to Humanity, the Angel of Revelation, the Bringer of Good News, Judgement and Mercy. He is the Angel of Joy, and the Spirit of Truth.
Gabriel helps us to find the wisdom in our physical bodies and to know our personal truths. He respects the absolute individuality of each person. He can assist us to live our truths faithfully, honouring our talents and gifts. He can help us find the courage to live from the deep knowledge within ourselves which respects our God-given abilities. Gabriel can also help us succeed in developing our individual gifts and fully expressing ourselves.
Gabriel’s quintessential gift to us is to nurture our strength and our conviction that we are each making a valuable contribution to the spiritual development of humanity simply by being who we are. He is available to help us ascertain the truth in situations where there is conflict between what we know to be right and what is being represented as truth. He helps us to see what is real for us in every situation where our insight and intuition are called upon to direct and guide us. Gabriel lights the way to the truth within our hearts, and helps us to see what is the right path for us to follow for our highest good and greatest joy.
Here are some snippets from a few of my favorite books
Angel Insights
Book DetailsAngel Insights : Anita Moorjani, author of Dying to Be Me: My Journey from Cancer, to Near Death, to True Healing, addresses this phenomenon when she talks about her near-death experience. In her lectures, Ms. Moorjani explains how, once she passed over to the other side, she learned that in heaven we are able to be with several loved ones still living at the same timein other words, watch what they are doing on earth and really be near them, right beside them, as a spiritual presence. One person might be snuggled up in bed fast asleep, while another is busy working at their desk on the other side of the world. Yet once we pass over to heaven we can be with both of these people at the same time. Just like an archangel or ascended master can be with multiple people in different parts of the world at the same time. Ms. Moorjani finds it hard to describe this concept in earthly terms, as it makes no sense here, but according to her it makes perfect sense in heaven and is effortless to execute.

Angel Insights : There is a very old, very famous church near my home, and I sometimes go there to feel closer to Spirit, to absorb the spiritual patina of 170 years of worship. Theres a small chapel in the back of this large church reserved for silent prayer. One day I sat in the chapel and looked around at the people near me who were deep in prayer or meditation, as well as those kneeling at the altar offering up the contents of their heart to Spirit in sacred reverence. It struck me just how many people, all across the world, rely on Spirit. How much people need from Spirit. How important, and sometimes even urgent, their prayers are. I suddenly felt so much compassion and love for all these people around me praying. Spirit, I asked silently, please be here not just with me, but with everyone in this chapel who needs you so desperately. Please help these people and let them know they are never alone. Suddenly I felt a presence, and I knew an energy force from the other side had entered the room. Usually I can get an intuitive hit on exactly who Im sensinga relative who has passed on, an angel, a spirit guide, an ascended master. But this time I was a bit paralyzed by the sheer size of the entity I was sensing. This was an enormous, powerful presence. Its energy was almost overwhelming. I realized it was an archangel. Archangel Gabriel had heard my prayer, and come to be with all these people in the chapel. Gabriel means ‘God is my strength,’ and I felt that strength. Wow, did I feel it! Gabriel is also the messenger archangel, and Gabriels message to me that day was clear: Spirit is listening. Spirit is here for you, and here for all these people.
