Angels help you!
“Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.” (Rev. 5:11)
- Angels, Angels, Angels, they're everywhere!
“But you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem. You have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly.” (Heb. 12:22)
- You can't always see them, but they are still there!
So was the case of Elisha’s servant when he saw the king’s vast army coming to attack. Elisha wasn't concerned because he could see what his servant couldn't see! God’s angels in chariots of fire! So he prayed, “Open his eyes, Lord, so that he may see.” Then the Lord opened the servant’s eyes, and he looked and saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.” (2 Kings 6:17)
- You can see them sometimes, but you may not be aware of it!
“Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.” (Heb. 13:2)
- They are God’s messengers
Many times, throughout the Bible, God’s messages were delivered through His angels. Here is just one example:
“And an angel of the Lord appeared to him, standing to the right of the altar of incense. Zechariah was troubled when he saw the angel, and fear gripped him. But the angel said to him, "Do not be afraid, Zechariah, for your petition has been heard, and your wife Elizabeth will bear you a son, and you will give him the name John.” (Luke 1:11-13)
- Angels are used of God to help you
“The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him, and he delivers them.” (Psalms 34:7).
“Therefore, angels are only servants - spirits sent to care for people who will inherit salvation.” (Heb. 1:14)
Notice that this verse says that angels are “sent to help people who will inherit salvation.” When I was in Vietnam, before I became born again, I thought it curious that I always arrived at places on the DMZ just after they were attacked and I left places just before they were attacked. And, I was shot at, and could even hear the bullets whiz right past my ears, but I was never hit! After arriving back home, I discovered that a pastor had prayed for me everyday during his family’s evening mealtimes. He prayed, “Lord, please watch over Mike and keep him safe from any harm.” I do believe God heard his prayers and sent angels to help me. It wasn't long after I arrived back home that I became a follower of Jesus. I “inherited salvation,” so to speak.
- Angels perform God’s Word
“Bless the LORD, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.” (Psalms 103:20)
