Greetings in the name of Jesus Christ! Here is the word for your meditation and prayer. I want to share on a message titled: "PUTTING YOUR ANGELS AT WORK!"
The Voice Bible in Daniel 10:1-21 talks about the angelic visitation which Daniel encountered. Although God has countless heavenly messengers, only two are named in the Bible: Gabriel and Michael. These heavenly messengers fill many functions in the Bible; for example, they are members of God’s divine council, they lead the heavenly army, and they deliver the words of God. In Daniel, Gabriel is a messenger in the most literal sense, bringing a revelation to Daniel through the explanations of a dream and of Scripture. Gabriel’s announcements about the coming Liberator do not end with Daniel. In the New Testament book of Luke, he is the one who announces the impending births of John the Baptist and Jesus to Zechariah and Mary, respectively. The Bible says, "In the third year of King Cyrus’ reign over the Persian Empire, Daniel, who had been named Belteshazzar by his Babylonian captors, received a word from God through another vision. The message proved reliable, and it had to do with a great war. Daniel understood the word and gained insight into the future through this vision. Here is his account. These events happen around 535 b.c., when Babylonia is part of Persia. Daniel: When I received this vision, I, Daniel, had been in mourning for three weeks. I had eaten very little, no meat and no rich foods at all. I had not enjoyed the taste of wine, nor had I used any oils to bathe or groom myself. I continued this way throughout the three full weeks. The vision came to me on the 24th day of the 1st month. As I was on the bank of the great Tigris River, I lifted my eyes and saw what seemed at first to be a man dressed in linen clothing. Around his waist was a belt made of the purest gold. His body had the appearance of yellow topaz; his face was bright like flashes of lightning; his eyes flamed like torches; his arms and legs sparkled like polished bronze; his voice sounded like thunder. I, Daniel, alone saw this man and heard his voice. Though there were others around me who did not see this sight, they were still overcome with fear and ran to hide. I did not. I was left all alone to witness this glorious sight. My strength soon left me. My face was drained of its natural color, and I was confused. I had no energy at all. Then I heard his voice and caught the sound of his words. As I did, I fell into a deep sleep—my face pressed to the ground. Just then, a mighty hand touched me and lifted my trembling body onto my hands and knees. Messenger: Daniel, you are highly regarded by God. I have been sent to help you understand the destiny of your people. Stand up and listen carefully to what I have to tell you. As he spoke, I slowly rose to my feet, though I was still shaking. Messenger: Do not be afraid, Daniel. From the very first day that you began to pursue understanding and humble yourself before your God, your words have been heard. I have been sent in response to what you’ve said. I would have been here sooner; however, for the past 21 days the spirit prince of Persia opposed me and prevented my coming to you. Then Michael, one of the chief princes of heaven, came to my aid because I alone was busy dealing with the kings of Persia. I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the last days, for this vision is about a time yet to come. As he was saying all this to me, I dropped my head and looked at the ground, completely quiet, unable to respond. Then one who looked like the sons of men approached and touched my lips. After that I was able to open my mouth and speak again. I turned to the one standing before me.
Daniel: My lord, what I have seen has left me utterly depressed. I have no strength left. How can I, your humble servant, even begin to address someone like you, my lord? My strength is gone, and I can hardly catch my breath. Again the one who looked like a man reached out and touched me. With that I felt my strength begin to return.
Messenger: Do not be afraid, you who are highly regarded by God. May peace rest on you and make you whole; be strong; be brave. At his words, I grew even stronger.
Daniel: Please continue, my lord, for your words have given me strength.
Daniel was being strengthened by angels on the above scripture.
We must also know that angels do minister to us and for us.
Hebrews 1:14 says about angels, Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minster for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Angels minister in many different ways, but they always minister on orders from God. They are holy creatures sent by God to carry out His will.
But angels can disobey their Lord just as we humans can.
Remember that Satan and his demons are disobedient angels.
They used to serve God in heaven.
"LEARN TO PLEASE GOD"
What do I mean when I talk about " putting your angels to work"?
I mean that since angels are spirits sent by God to carry out His will on this earth by ministering to and for the " heirs of salvation," then we believers ought to be keeping those angelic creatures busy! We ought to have them working for us all the time.
" But how do we do that?" you must ask. " How do I put my angels to work?"
The answer is simple: by pleasing God.
Since angels take instruction from God and work according to what the Bible says, as long as you are speaking and acting in a way that pleases God and conforms to His Word, then angels will minister to you and for you.
But the opposite is also true. If you don't speak and act in a way pleasing to God and according to what His Word says, then His holy angels will not minister to you or for you. They will stand off at a distance and watch you, but they won't minister.
If you want your angels to go to work to help you, then you have got to do the things that please God! You have got to please God!
"But how?" you ask.'
There are about seven ways a Christian pleases God.
We will look at them one by one.
Have Faith!
The Bible says, " But without faith it is impossible to please him; for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him." ( Hebrews 11:6).
How do you please Go?
The first thing you must do to please God is to have faith.
For your angels to work, faith must be in operation. Angels will not minister to you or for you unless you have faith in God, faith that lines up with His Word.
The more you believe God - the more your words and actions conform to His Word - the more He can and will do for you. So if you will just sell out to God, believing everything you read in the Bible, then you will be on your way to a life filled with joy and victory, because the angels of the Lord will encamp around about you.
They will always be there to work on your behalf.
Some people are afraid to sell out totally to God. That is a mistake.
The smartest thing I ever did in my life was to get on my knees and put my life entirely into the hands of the Lord. That was the day I really began to live.
The greatest prayer I prayed was one when I asked the Lord to take charge of my life, to teach me how to live and love His way. I had come to the place in my life where I wanted all that God had for me. But I knew that in order to get all God had formed, I had to give Him all of me . We must love and please God with all our being. ( Mark 12:30).
Angels are assigned to do different functions in our lives.
However, Michael and Gabriel are the leading major angels, that play many roles. We all need angelic encounters and visitations all the time. I declare that you be visited by angels today in the name of Jesus.
May the Lord assign angels of healing, deliverance and good news to minister to you right now in the name of Jesus. Thank you for angelic visitations tonight in the name of Jesus -AMEN!
May God richly bless you!
