Angels:
angelos: (ang-e-loss) spiritual heavenly attendants ..see Psalm 104:4, Luke
1:19
2.
Functioning
as ministers of the Lord sent to Earth
3.
They
execute His purposes and make them known to men. Daniel 10:12 Gabriel appeared
to Daniel “ I have come because of your words”
In our
call to the kingdom that is come, we repent, and believe with a trust in God
that He will fulfill His promises. Jesus came to save the “lost” and that was
us, but we now must reach others understanding that by prayer and speaking
God’s truth, angels are hearing and will go with that word of God and God will
see it accomplished to where it is sent. Amen!
Was working on this the last few days and was surprised to see how many times angels appeared to the average person! Now some may not refer to Daniel as average, but he served in a time when he generally stood face to face with evil. Ever read about Daniel?
Now I remembered Peter being awakened by an angel and how the gates opened for him to leave the prison behind. Now that was some interesting adventures with God indeed!
Jesus Spoke this: Matthew
26:51-56 NKJV 51 And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.52 But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword.
53 "Or do you think that I cannot now pray
to my Father, and he will provide Me with more than twelve legions of
angels? 54 But how then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus? 55 In that hour said Jesus to
the multitudes," How are you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not seize Me.
56 " But
all this was done, that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then
all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
Luke 24:18-29 NKJV 18 Then one whose name was Cleopas, answered and said unto him, " Are You the only stranger in Jerusalem, and have You not known the things which happened there in these days?" 19 And He said unto them, "What
things?" So they said to Him, "the things concerning Jesus of Nazareth, who was a Prophet mighty in deed and word before God and all the people.
20 "And how the chief priests and our rulers
delivered Him to be condemned to death, and crucified him. 21"But we were hoping that it was He who was going to redeem Israel. Indeed, besides all this, today is the third day since
these things happened.
22 "Yes,
and certain women of our company who arrived at the tomb early, astonished us.23 When they did not find His body, they came, they came saying that they had also seen a vision of angels, who said that He was alive.
24 "And certain of those who were with us went to the tomb and found it just as the women had said; but Him they did not see.
25 Then He said to them, O
fools, & slow of heart to believe in all that the prophets have spoken: 26 "Ought not Christ to have suffered these things,and to enter into His glory? 27 And beginning at Moses & all the
prophets, He expounded to them in all the scriptures the things concerning Himself. 28 And they drew near to the village where they were going and He indicated that he would have gone farther . 29 But they constrained Him, saying," Abide
with us: for it is toward evening, & the day is far spent & He went in
to stay with them.

The
righteous can see angels and can hear them
2.
These
people had thoughts for Jesus whom they loved & sought to know where He was placed
Jesus stood face to face with devil and Jesus gave the devil God's word! Luke 4:3-4 NKJV 3 & the devil said to Him, “if You are
the Son of God, command this stone to become bread.” 4 But Jesus answered him,
saying, “It is written, ‘Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word
of God.’”
Our hearts must contain the words of God. We are to continually look up: not to the situation or the bad report, but look up
and see who walked out of the tomb….the tomb of defeat to the rightful place of victory and gave us a
new life in HIM!
We
speak God’s word & the angels carry out what the spoken word is meant to do! Psalm 103:20 bless the
LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His who do His pleasure.
It is angels who serve to bless God that is they worship and serve His will. They do His word on Earth as it is in Heaven. They heed Him when He speaks. And we can sound like speaking God's word over every situation, circumstance and disease! Hebrews 1:14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who
will inherit salvation? Angels revolve
around the ministry of the church Jesus established. They advance His ministry
on earth as it is in heaven.
If we truly understand that this is a righteous walk of faith, we remain active not only speaking God's word but expectant to see Him move through our circumstances and by change see that angel as like Daniel, Peter and Mary did!
In this work God has called us to is this: that " the priority is seeing the foundation laid "in everyday living; and within that the Lord’s blessings begin to flow in and through our lives. That foundation is with the Cornerstone Who made a new life possible for each of us who have repented of the old man and his sins and received the life everlasting, that is one filled with hope of promises that we can expect to be fulfilled in our lifetimes!
Mary said, "Behold the maidservant of the Lord!" Let it be unto me according to Your word."
And the angel departed.
Peter said this: (from Acts 12:5-11) "Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel, and has delivered me from the hand of Herod and from all the expectation of the Jewish people."
Daniel said this: Daniel 10: 16-18 And suddenly, one having the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips; then I opened my mouth and spoke, saying to him who stood before me, "My lord, because of the vision my sorrows have overwhelmed me, and I have retained no strength. 17 "for how can this servant of my lord walk with you, my lord? as for me, no strength remains in me now, nor is any breath left in me."
Gabriel was sent by Jesus to minister to Daniel. And Daniel experienced an overwhelming power greater than himself. He Daniel, was given encouragement and refreshing. Those if you who read about them that were Daniel hid from the presence of this. Although Daniel saw in a vision still others experience the magnitude of God's presence with the angel.
For you and I, we are to keep our communion with God just like Daniel, Mary and Peter. His strength becomes our strength. His word delivers into the positive life giving force that is for our good and not evil giving a hope in the final outcome. May Almighty God enable us to comply always to His will and to stand complete in Him. And when irritants come to irritate us, then we can stand in His peace and love and pray for His will to be done on earth, that is in us and through us for His glory, just like He did in Peter, Mary and Daniel. And Hey, if you see an angel .....well good, but if not, know they are active and on the alert to go forth in heeding God's word in your mouth....Now speak loud and clear...and your angels will go to accomplish what God planned for you! Amen!
