Hummingbird Wings Amazing Helicopters Angels |
T here
are tiny birds which have the most amazing ability to fly in any
direction. These are live copters are designed with an amazing set of
muscles.
The hummingbird family is one of the biggest families of birds in the world. Over 300 species have been found in the world. The smallest fits on a pencil and weighs about the same as a paper clip. |
 Though
very tiny, they can drive off large eagles. They are ever ready to drive
off anything in the air space and land space they claim as theirs. |
 Usually
the maximum number of eggs in a nest is two. The nesting material is
stretchy. Spider webs are used to wind together bits of moss and lichen.
It is lined with little feathers. Eggs are so tiny. |
 Hummingbirds
have been designed with reflecting feathers on their heads and bib area
that come from every color of the rainbow. |
 This
engineer masterpiece has been designed to speed in any direction. He can
fly backwards, sideways and up and down as well as flip up side down and
fly. |
| They often have a song that sounds like they are laughing as they come to the end of their flight and zoom upwards again. |
 Their
little forked tongue helps them gather nectar and pollen. |
 Some
hummers are so tiny they fit their nest to the end of a piece of grass and
have a nice hammock like feeling swaying in the breezes. |
 Every
day these tiny birds eat at least twice their own weight in nectar. If you
weigh 70 pounds, you would need 140 pounds of juice to keep up with the
hummer. They need to eat real often in the day to get enough. Most people
have to eat at least two times and maybe three. Babies eat more often. |
| Since
God designed these amazing helicopters I know He knows how to make wings.
Though I have never seen one, I think there are wings on the angels. In
the Bible it talks about them flying (Revelation 8:13) |
 Angels
of God have amazing abilities. They are mentioned many times through
out the Bible. They closed lions mouths, opened prison doors, talked
through a donkey, brought fire out of rock for Gideon, cooked food for
Elijah, and destroyed God's enemies. |
God promises that if a sword is raised against you, He could
break it.
Psalms 46:9 The God of Jacob is our refuge. He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep you in all your ways, in their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. Ps. 91 |
 In
Mathew 12:36 It says every idle word spoken will be accounted for. Angels
write down all that is said and done. They have brought many warnings. |
 Strong
angels shut the lions mouths so Daniel spent the night unharmed among
hungry lions. |
 Angels
come in the clouds at the second return of Jesus. Every eye will see Him
come. Even also those who pierced and beat up Jesus and put Him on a
cross. (Revelation 1:7) |
  God's
loyal angels always lead to Bible study and warn those who wander away
from God's word.
( Revelation 14:8, Isaiah 21:9, Jeremiah 51:8, ) |
 God's
loyal angels encourage people to leave Babylon because it is full of sin.
If you stay there, you will do their sins too. (Rev. 18:4,5 and vs. 2) |

Angel story
In 1988 our first born had chickenpox and ran a fever of 105. After a visit to the ER where the young doctor felt all was fine, I was awake all night praying. He did not move. He lay there on a sheet. I bathed him and did all I could and prayed. In the early morning I heard him talking. I ran to him and he was looking up at something and saying angel and smiling. I felt where he had been lying and it was wet from sweat. His fever was gone and he was better. I did not see an angel but I believe there was one in the room that he could see. I was so thankful. |
 There
are so many angel stories I have heard. I love to read them all. Remember
if an angel tells you something against what the Bible teaches, begin to
sing songs about Jesus and tell the angel to leave in the name of Jesus
and they have to flee. It is written, "at the name of Jesus, every
knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in the earth, and
under the earth; and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is
Lord." (Philippians 2:10,1) And these signs will follow them that
believe; In My name shall they cast out devils (Mark 16:17) |

information about the largest water lilies as wide as a bus. Then we will
look in the Bible for water lily symbols. Who is the Lily of the Valley?
