After a child is born we generally have the laying on of hands to show God that we want his involvement in our children's lives. This is an outgoing sign that we want God to protect them. . Likewise, I say to you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents. Also I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men, him the Son of Man also will confess before the angels of God. But he who denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God.
Angels are also witnesses. .
Some Angels are Fighters. Michael and his army of angels came to the rescue of the angel trying to go see Daniel. . Some Angels deliver messages for God. It seems that God uses Gabriel when He has a special message to be delivered. Gabriel delivered this message to Daniel.
