We understand that you have seen an angel in your dream and believe it is a sign of protection and help from God. While dreams and visions can be powerful experiences, we must be discerning and test them against the Word of God. The Bible tells us that God speaks to us through His Word and by His Spirit, and sometimes He uses dreams and visions. However, we must be careful not to rely on experiences alone, as they can be influenced by our own thoughts, emotions, and even the enemy.
Firstly, let us address the appearance of the angel in your dream. You mentioned that he looked exactly as portrayed in films, with the same face and armor. It is essential to understand that the Bible does not give us a specific description of what angels look like. In fact, the only time Michael is mentioned by name in the Bible, there is no description of his appearance. There is a description of an angel in Daniel 10 and 12 and it is of an angel with the voice of many men and arms and legs of what looks like polished brass. The Bible gives descriptions of angels in visions such as six wings, multiple faces, and many eyes. (Daniel 10, Isaiah 6:2, Revelation 4:8). We must be cautious not to accept media portrayals or our own imaginings as biblical truth. Films are made by humans and are not inspired by God. We also know that angels are not men and do not have a male gender even though they may appear in dreams or visions in the form of a man.
The Bible tells us that Satan can appear as an angel of light (2 Corinthians 11:14 WEB), so we must test the spirits to see whether they are from God (1 John 4:1 WEB). We should not base our beliefs on dreams or experiences alone, but on the unchanging Word of God.
Let us pray for you, that God would give you discernment and wisdom, and that He would protect you from any form of deception. Remember that God is always with you, and He has given you His Holy Spirit to guide and protect you. Put on the whole armor of God (Ephesians 6:11 WEB), and stand firm in your faith.
Dear Lord, we come before You, lifting up our brother who has seen a vision of an angel. We ask for Your discernment and wisdom to guide him. Protect him from any form of deception, and help him to test the spirits according to Your Word. Strengthen his faith in You, and help him to put on the whole armor of God. In Jesus Christ Name we pray, amen.
Lastly, we want to encourage you to fix your eyes on Jesus, the author, and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2 WEB). It is only by His Name that we can be saved, Acts 4:12 says "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved!"
