Angels

Good morning,

Great teaching today! It talks about how speaking God’s word activates angels. It is just another example of how God gave us the Bible to help us. Asking Christ into your life has so many facets.

1. Your name gets written in the Lamb’s Book of Life so you can enter heaven and be with God for eternity. But nothing that defiles or profanes or is unwashed shall ever enter it, nor anyone who commits abominations (unclean, detestable, morally repugnant things) or practices falsehood, but only those whose names are recorded in the Lamb’s Book of Life. (Rev 21:27) Remember when you have Christ in your heart, you are washed, get covered with all His rightness, and all your sins are forgiven, even the ones you haven’t done yet today! God sees His Son on you and nothing you can ever do will compare with that goodness and nothing bad you do will stick to you. God is not about our report card, He is about if you abide in His Son, the Lamb.

2. God has huge angels designed to help His people! Our part is knowing what the Bible says and using it!! Can you imagine getting a letter that says you inherited from a relative millions of dollars and instead of receiving your inheritance, you just frame the letter and hang it on the wall?? None of us are that crazy! Anyway, learn scripture and speak it.

I would keep numbering the things you get from asking Christ into your heart, but I know some of you have to get to work and, in reality, the list would be too long to number!

Love you, Teri

PSALM 103:20
Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.

Notice that the verse says that angels are “heeding the voice of His word”. Now, who gives voice to God’s Word? We do! Each time we speak God’s Word, we give voice to His Word. And when angels hear His Word given voice, they respond!

The Bible says that at the end of Daniel’s three weeks of fasting and praying for an answer from God, the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said to him, “I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12)

So when angels hear you saying, “Thank You, Father, no evil shall befall me nor shall any plague come near my dwelling,” (Psalm 91:10) they will come to your aid because you are giving voice to God’s Word. Even if you cannot quote the verse perfectly, they can still come to your rescue.

This was what happened to a lady in the United States. While walking home after an evening church service, she was attacked from behind by a man and dragged toward a dark corner in an alley. In that frantic state, she remembered only one word from that evening’s sermon. So she shouted, “Feathers! Feathers!” Her attacker released her and fled!

Feathers? What did she mean? She was actually referring to Psalm 91:4—“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.” In that state of panic, she remembered only one word—“feathers,” and it was enough to cause her attacker to flee. You see, it is not your ability to quote an entire verse perfectly that releases God’s power, but faith in His Word and His love for you. And one word from Him is enough to send your enemies scurrying away.

However, if you know God’s Word by heart but refuse to proclaim it, the power of His Word cannot be released. The Bible does not say that angels heed His Word. No, it says that “His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.” So beloved, give voice to God’s Word and see His angels respond. His angels are activated for your benefit when you speak His Word!
