Gifts from God ~ Archangel Sandalphon

This is your card reading for Wednesday, December 3rd/14.  Your card sailed out of the 'Archangel' card deck, authored by Doreen Virtue.  Your card is 'Gifts from God ~ Archangel Sandalphon', and Doreen's message for the card is this:
"Archangangel Sandalphon:  We angels bring you gifts from your Creator.  Open your arms to receive.
Additional Message:  Heaven is expansive and ever-increasing.  One of the ways in which Heaven expands is through giving and sending love continuously.  This love is sent your way in many forms, and your only task is to be willing to receive.  Right now, the answers to your prayers await your willing receptivity.  Open your arms to these gifts!  Your Creator wills that you be happy, healthy, secure and that all your needs will be provided.  Release any fears of receiving to me."

My message for you today is this:
I refer to Source energy as 'the Creator'---rather than 'God'---as that is what resonates with me, personally.  I find that the word 'God' holds many connotations, as it has been expressed here on Earth; that are not in alignment with my perception of and experience with, Source energy.  So, substitute whatever 'title' or 'label' feels right for you as you read Doreen's message above---regardless of the term we use to label Source energy, we are truly speaking to the same unconditional Love and support that resides there!
Archangel Sandalphon is one of only 2 Archangels who has experienced life here on Earth (the other being Archangel Metatron).  He was the prophet Elijah, and was ascended to become an Archangel.  Archangel Sandalphon's specialty is in assisting us with the understanding that our prayers are ALWAYS heard; even though they may be answered in ways we may not expect, as the Divine has that greater omniscient perspective that knows how best to respond to our prayers.  Having been in the physical, Archangel Sandalphon holds a deep understanding from BOTH perspectives (the physical and the Divine), which makes his ability to relate to us and to convey our prayers, all the more powerful!
Many experience Archangel Sandalphon's aura as turquoise in colour, and a crystal said to align well with his energy is Turquoise.  Try holding a Turquoise crystal, when you wish to consciously abide with Archangel Sandalphon's energy---this is not necessary, of course, but is a beautiful support to aligning your energy with his.  
Archangel Sandalphon has presented for us today to remind us that---here in the physical--- we sometimes block our own receiving of gifts from the Divine: regarding messages and communication being offered, as well as support and answers to our prayers.  Call upon Archangel Sandalphon to assist you in being open and receptive to all that the Divine wishes to share with you.  Know that Sandalphon understands the blocks that you may have created due to your experiences here in the physical, and that he can assist you in releasing those blocks.  He offers you the understanding that you reside in an abundant Universe!  Be open to receiving and allow that abundance to come to you!
Blessed be...
