A Guardian Angel is assigned to protect whichever person to whom God assigns them and present prayers to God on that person's behalf and that every individual soul has a guardian angel. They are heavenly spirit assigned by God to watch over each of us. Angels are part of the church's tradition.
Everyone of us has a guardian angel. Yours will be with you as you move into the afterlife and will provide a comforting influence as you progress. You may not see them but you will have an undeniable sense that "someone" is there in the background. They may appear in human form or as beings of light or even as angels complete with wings. They eventually reveal themselves to you. They have been with you right from the beginning.
Our guardian angel will help us with the long process of assessing your life on earth. As powerful beings and have a deep understanding about our life and our motivations. They understand it intuitively and immediately. There role is to both guide us to good thoughts, works and words and to preserve us from evil.
"No evil shall befall you, nor shall affliction come near your tent, for to His Angels, God has given command about you, that they guard you in all your ways. Upon their hands they will bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone." Psalm 91:10-12

Demons
Some people question whether demons and spirits exist today, I strongly believe they exist. Jesus accepted without demur belief in the existence of demons, and the Gospel of Mark tells many stories of Jesus casting out demons. From the facts of the Bible concerning demons, they are disembodied spirits-that is, they once had bodies but lost them. This explains why they hunt for bodies. They crave bodies to inhabit.
Demon is derived from the Latin word "daemon", which was derived from the original Greek word "daimon." Daimones or daimonion are the plural forms of the word daimon. A supernatural being that is generally described as a malovent spirit and is frequently depicted as a force that may be conjured and insecurely controlled.
Demons are unclean spirits that can reason. (Matthew 12:43-45)
In Genesis 6:2, demons were fallen angels, formerly of God. It also teaches that they produced a race of beings that were half angelic and half humans called the Nephilim (means giants) and when they were destroyed by the flood (Noah's era), they remained on the earth as demons.
"But now the giants who were born from the union of the spirits and the flesh shall be called evil spirits upon the earth, because their dwelling shall be upon the earth and inside the earth. Evil spirits have come out of their bodies. Because from that day that they were created from the sons of God they became watchers; their first origin is the spiritual foundation. They will become evil upon the earth and shall be called evil spirits. The dwelling of the spiritual beings of heaven is heaven; but the dwelling of the spirits of the earth, which are born upon the earth, is in the earth." (1 Enoch 15:8-10)
It is clear and stated from the book of Enoch that evil spirits are the giants who were born from the union of spirits and flesh.
"When men began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of men were beautiful, and they married any of them they chose. Then the Lord said, "My spirits will not contend with man forever, for he is mortal: his days will be a hundred and twenty years."
The Nephilim were on the earth on those days-and also afterward-when the sons of God went to the daughters often and had children by them. They were the heroes of old, men of renown. (Genesis 6:1-4)

Angels
The word "angel" first occurs in Genesis 16:7, where the angels of the Lord ministered to Hagar after Sarah had mistreated her (1913 BC). Angels are usually viewed as messengers of a supreme divine being, sent to do the tasks of that being.
Angels are one of a class of spiritual beings; a celestial attendant of God. In medieval angelology, angels constituted the lowest of the nine celestial orders (seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations or dominions, virtues, powers, principalities or princedoms, archangels, and angels). They are a conventional representation of such a being, in human form, with wings, usually in white robes.
They were created by God but the time is not revealed of their creation. In Colossians 1:16-17, speaks about the creation of angels, therefore, it is clear that they have not existed from all eternity.
"For by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things have been created by Him and for Him. And He is before all things. and in Him all things hold together."
Its creation is never definitely specified, but it is most probably that it occurred in connection with the creation of the heavens in Genesis 1:1.
In Job 38:4-7, Angels may be created by God after He created the heavens and before He created the earth, "the sons of God shouted for joy" when he laid the foundations of the earth.
They seem to be innumerable and countless. Daniel 7:10; Matthew 26:53 and Hebrews 12:22, give no definite figures.
God created them at one time. No new angels are being added to the number and they flock around the universe in their millions.
