Daily Rhema: THE MINISTRY OF ANGELS

Psalms 91:11-12 MKJV: For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep You in all Your ways. They shall bear you up in their hands, lest You dash your foot against a stone.

The manifestation of the power of the Spirit without measure is IMMINENT; so God does not want His people to be ignorant about spiritual things (1Cor.12.1), in particular about the ministry of angels.

Angels are spiritual servants created by God to serve God and us who are heirs of the salvation in Christ Jesus (Heb. 1:14).

The distinguishing characteristic of angels that make it possible for them to serve us, is the fact that they can operate in both the spiritual and physical worlds simultaneously.

We see this when an angel appeared to the Lord Jesus at Gethsemane and strengthened Him both spiritually and physically, when He was under severe spiritual and physical pressure, so much so that His sweat was like great drops of blood (Luk. 22:43-44).

Furthermore, we see the Lord Jesus saying, He could pray for more than 12 legions (12x 6000= 72, 000) of angels to physically save Him from those who came to arrest Him at Gethsemane.

Matthew 26:53 MKJV
Do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He shall presently give Me more than twelve legions of angels?

The power of God released through these angels is what caused those who came to arrest the Lord Jesus to fall down at first, and then afterwards, He allowed Himself to be arrested.

John 18:3-6 MKJV
Then Judas, having received a band and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns and torches and weapons. Then Jesus, knowing all things that were coming upon Him, went out and said to them, whom do you seek? They answered Him, Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus said to them, I AM! And Judas who betrayed Him also stood with them. Then as soon as He had said to them, I AM, they went backward and fell to the ground

Notice that the angels were invisible, but the power they released caused a physical result to make the people who came to arrest the Lord fall down.

In the same way, the angels who were protecting Elisha were invisible but struck the Syrian army that came to arrest Him with temporary physical blindness (2Ki. 6:15-23).

Similarly, we always have angels around us to protect and serve us. However, they are invisible most of the time, but we can see and experience the physical effect of their protection and service.

Now, it is instructive to note that there are different kinds of angels: cherubim, seraphim: angels with wings (Isa. 6:2; Eze. 10:7-8).

Also there are angels who look just like men and so do not have wings:

Hebrews 13:2 MKJV
Do not be forgetful of hospitality, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
