Good morning,
God has provided for us, His children, everything necessary to be more
like Him. Often we neglect to utilize all that has been given to us,
most of the time it is because of a lack of knowledge, other times it is
because we tend
to let spiritual things slip. We become caught up in our daily lives
and since every day has a sufficient amount
of troubles in it, that we end up constantly fighting the little
skirmishes that our mind is preoccupied with. They are of course sent to
keep our minds entangled, so that we miss the big pictures and miss
out on the big plan. Thank God, He knows that about us and have fully
equipped us with all that is needed to win the fight. [According
as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto
life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to
glory and virtue: 2 Peter 1:3] Three weeks ago on February 8, we started to draw on the Word concerning the aid and assistance that we have from God's ministering angels. Let's start with Hebrews 1:14; "Are not the angels all
ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service of God for the assistance of those who are to inherit salvation. The word ministering
is one that acts under the order or authority of another for the
execution of purpose; an attendant or servant that waits upon and serves
for someone's
benefits. Assistance is giving aid, support, or help; one who acts and
function in order to help one fulfill purposes. Salvation is
deliverance, preservation, safety; it is the sum benefits and blessings
which the redeemed inherit the present and future possession. Hebrews 2:1-2; "Since
all this is true, we ought to pay much closer attention than ever to the truths that we have heard, lest in any way we drift
past [them] and slip away: For if the message given through angels [the Law spoken by them to Moses] was authentic and proved sure, and every violation and disobedience received an appropriate (just and adequate) penalty." Did you get that? The law that was given to Moses through angels. Angels assisted Moses in order for him to fulfill his purpose. We have
this same help and aid to get our deliverance, preservation, safety, to
receive all of the benefits and blessings that belong to us.

Let us see when angels are first mentioned. "So [God] drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the Garden of Eden the cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep and guard the way to the tree of life." (Gen. 3:24) Cherubims are ministering spirits manifesting God's invisible presence and symbolizing His action. Angels that are to keep the way of the garden of Eden. To keep is to preserve, observe, protect, guard, and to watch for. God sent these cherubims in the service to protect and guard the garden of Eden. I am thinking
that they did a good job! Now how about angels standing over us to protect, guard, preserve and watch over us? "For He will give His angels (special) charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways of (obedience and service). (Ps. 91:11) Charge is control of the workings or disposition; management and supervision; the care and custody for the one entrusted. Angels
are here now to accompany, defend, preserve, and help us to fulfill our
purpose. Next time we will see how it is easy for angels to assist us
without us being aware. Sometimes they make their appearance
known as heavenly beings, other times they come and appear as
men. We will examine the Word and become more aware of all that God has
given. We need to walk in the realm of the supernatural, until we come
to the place where it is natural to move in the miraculous. I will leave you
this scripture to ponder; "Do not forget or neglect or refuse to extend hospitality to strangers (in the brotherhood –
being friendly, cordial, and gracious, sharing the comforts of your
home and doing your part generously) for through it some have entertained angels without knowing it. I just wonder how many angels I have entertained since my salvation, hmmm. Something to think about!
