Guidance and Protection by Angelic Beings
Hi Faith-writers, I thank God once again for allowing me to share HIS Word with His people. We are still discussing the topic of Supernatural Guidance. Today, we are going deep into the area of Guidance by Angelic Beings or by Angelic Visitations.
The Truth about Angels
There’s been many people fascinated with the topic or stories of Angels. There are others who don’t believe in them today, as it was when Jesus walked the earth during HIS Ministry. Then you have those who believe, but have never seen any Angels. No matter which of the 3 groups we may be in, The Bible Speaks about Angels clearly. It even teaches us how they operate on the earth with Believers and unbelievers. Supernatural Angelic Beings sole purpose is to do the Will of God.
The topic of Angel’s is very long and exhaustive to explain. I’m going to touch on some key important Truth about the topic, however, it will be within the scope of “Supernatural Angelic Beings Guiding and Protecting us,” on the earth. God willing, in the future I will share a more exhaustive teaching on the topic.
Angelic Beings are with us as children
Jesus had to teach His disciples a lesson in HUMILITY in (Matthew 18:1-10 NKJV). So, Jesus took a child and sat the child down before the disciples and told them that if we are not converted and become child-like in humble attitude, we will not be able to enter the Kingdom of God. (Matt. 18:1-3 NKJV). Then Jesus went on to teach about offenses and that if anyone offends a child they will be dealt with severely (Matt. 18:4-9 NKJV).
Finally, Jesus said;
Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their Angels always see the face of MY FATHER who is in Heaven. (Matthew 18:10 NKJV)
Let’s outline some Biblical Facts and Powerful Truth about Angelic Beings;
1. Supernatural Angelic Beings are with children today as they were in Jesus’ day on earth.
2. These children were not Born-again yet, they were Jewish kids. Jesus said, the children are being Supernaturally Protected by Angels.
3. These Supernatural Angels see the Face of God the Father in Heaven and return to be with the children.
This tells us that we have an Angel watching over us since we were born into this world. The Angelic Being assign to us, is with us, and from time-to-time travels up to the Throne of God the Father in Heaven.
Now, Theologians may debate the Theology of Angelic Beings Protecting us when we were young. Today’s Bible scholar may even say, unless you are Saved (Born-again Supernaturally) there is no way we would have an Angelic Being watching over us. Well, whatever opinion Theologians or holier-than-thou Bible scholars may have that is unscriptural just ignore it and stick with the Bible’s clear-cut explanation.
Here’s why we should stick with Scripture, Paul re-affirmed what Jesus was sharing in Matthew 18:1-10 NKJV; in Hebrews 1:14 Amplified, Paul wrote, “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?”
Everyone on earth at this time is a prime candidate to inherit Salvation. This means based on God’s Divine Program we all are potentially able to inherit Salvation. So, Ministering Angels are hard at work trying to get us Saved (Born-again). So, they are actively near and around us making sure that we are Guided and Protected until we are Saved. Then after we get Saved (Born-again) the Angel is assign to us to lead us to do the Will of God.
Angels with us from Children to Adults
According to what Jesus and Paul said, I believe that Angels are with us from the time we are naturally born into the earth—until we become Born-again Christians. Now, I’m talking about from an infant thru to 100 years old or however long it takes until we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior. It’s by the Grace and Mercy and Patience of God that our lives are extended that long until we are Saved (Born-again).
Yeah, but what about evildoers and sinners? Are Angels with them too? Yes, to a certain extent and when God declares a cut-off period, (which we don’t know about) then their life will end tragically when the Divine Protection is lifted as God the Father gives the order. You see, the wages of sin is death (Romans 6:23 NKJV). God knows who is going to be Saved (Born-again) in the long run whether it takes 50, 60, 70, or 80 years or more for God to reach that person. God is not impatience as we are. This is where we need to understand God’s Mercy. When you see an evil-doer a wicked person God has a time-table for them to repent until they are Saved. If they don’t choose to be Saved then they will die in their sins and spend their eternal life in Hell. (Ezekiel 33:11 NKJV/ 2 Peter 3:9 NKJV)
What about babies and children who died at the hands of terrorist or serial killers? Why do they die and Angelic Beings don’t protect them? This is a hard question, Biblically, there are 2 places in Scripture that teaches us that Children automatically go to Heaven when they died even if they were not Saved (Born-again). Everyone past a certain age say, 8-12 or older depending on developmental issues who died—will automatically go to Heaven. If they are tragically killed at the hands of terrorist or serial killers.
* God predicted through the Prophet Jeremiah that in Jesus’ time when HE would be Supernaturally Born through the Virgin Mary. All the children will be slaughtered. And Herod killed all the little boys from a Baby to 2 years old in the hunt for Baby Jesus (Matt. 2:16-18 NKJV). God knew this would happen before it did. Although God allowed it to happen, God had to continue to provide Protection for Baby Jesus, and comfort for all those families who had to go through this horrific tragedy. I believe the children automatically went to heaven.
* David and Bathsheba’s child died, because of their sins. David said, he will see the child again. (2 Samuel 12:22-23 NKJV) It’s clear that the baby and eventually David went to heaven.
* God predicted death upon the evil King Jeroboam and his family. Yet, the only one God will Save and allow in Heaven was his son. (Deep Huh?) (1 Kings 14:1-13 NKJV)
* Death is not the end in itself. It’s tragic for us and for those who experienced the loss of loved ones especially innocent children. However, there is eternal life after physical death. We need to see this AFTER LIFE Concept as GOD declares it in HIS Word.
* We are all counted as sheep for the slaughter (Romans 8:36-39 NKJV) But that doesn’t separate us from the love of God. Nor does it indicate that God loves us less if our children or young adults die prematurely. The Devil is out to steal, kill and destroy our lives (John 10:10 NKJV)
* When the Devil wanted to kill Job, God told the devil to do whatever he wanted, but don’t touch Job. The devil had stolen, killed, and destroyed everything Job had including his children. They were young adults who loved to party everyday taking turns in each of their houses. (Job 1:4-7 NIV) At the end of the great challenge and lost. Job got bless with double—including 7 more children. And Job lived a long life. (See, Job chapters 1-3, 41-42 NKJV)
* So even though we may experience death or the death of our loved ones, it doesn’t rule out that Angelic Beings are not Guiding or Protecting us. It’s that we have to see the bigger plan of God for our lives. When we encounter tragedy in our lives.
Seeing, Hearing and Feeling Angels
Peter was imprisoned by Herod and they killed James, but they locked Peter up to kill him after the unleavened bread feast was over. Now behold, an Angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands. Then the Angel said to him, “Gird yourself and tie on your sandals”; and so he did. And he said to him, “Put on your garment and follow me.” (Acts 12:1-8 NKJV)
Peter was ready to die. He wasn’t Praying, he was sleeping waiting to die in the morning. God sends HIS TEAM 1 Supernatural OPS to rescue Peter. The point I would like to drive home is that;
1. Peter felt someone hit him on his side. (Angelic Physical Touch).
2. Peter felt someone pick him up. (Angelic Physical Hold).
3. Peter heard the Voice of the Angel give him instructions
4. Peter witness the Miracle of Chains falling off his wrists and ankles.
5. Peter heard more instructions to get dress and follow the Angel.
The Angelic Being rescued Peter from being killed. Peter was able to experience a full inter-action with an Angel.
My Testimony of experiencing something similar
September 2011, I was in my bedroom watching my 20 month old daughter Gabriella. I fell out while she was exploring the dresser drawers. I felt someone hit my ribs and I woke up thinking my wife hit me. I was sleeping on her side of the bed by the window. My daughter was on the other side. I looked over and seen a huge hunting knife in her hand raised in the air (in its case, THANK GOD!) I was going to yell, I heard a still small Voice say, No, just take it away! I gently went over and snatched the knife away.
I Thanked God, for waking me up. If not I would be in prison for child endangerment. My wife was at work. And I didn’t go into work until 3pm, so I was resting and I fell out. Angels are here to help us when we can’t help ourselves in difficult situations.
Angels Speak to us through Dreams
In my previous article, “Guidance by Supernatural Dreams” written 3-2-2015. I shared the story of Joseph (Mary’s fiancé) about the Dream he experienced to Marry Mary after he was thinking about leaving her when he heard the Supernatural story she shared with him about her being the chosen Virgin to bring forth the Messiah. Joseph was speechless and worried about the entire situation. So, he planned to leave her quietly. Then the Angel came to him affirming and confirming that he should not fear marrying Mary and to name the Child Jesus and raise HIM as his Child. (Luke 1:26-38 NKJV/ Matt. 1:19-24 NKJV)
When we receive a Dream it always has to have a Biblical basis or there should be Scripture that clearly gives us affirmation to what we have experienced in the Dream. Especially, a Dream with an Angelic Being.
Joseph was comforted when the Angel quoted Scripture that confirms the Virgin Birth. Then the Angel spoke about what Joseph needed to do to be a part of God’s Divine Plan in bringing up the Child.
I shared a lot of testimony about Angels and Jesus appearing to me. See, “Understanding God’s Calling and HIS Divine Communication” written 12-16-2014. However, I would like to share another testimony that I experienced with an Angelic Being speaking to me in a Dream.
January 1993, rolled in and the 1st Church I was attending was starting to be divided. The spiritually mature brothers were against the carnal brothers. They were saying, that the carnal brothers who were in charge of the Ministry who worked with the Pastor and led Sunday services were indulging in lust and porn; watching R-rated sex-scene VCR tapes. They did not fast and pray and separate themselves from the world. I didn’t know what was going on. I was only Saved for about a year. I did not know anything about consecration or separation from worldly activity if you desired to be a Minister.
After I heard the issues from the super-spiritual guys. I did my normal routine I read the Word, Prayed and washed up and fell asleep. I had a Dream Friday January 29, 1993; I saw this Angel with a welding torch welding a stairwell that was going up to Heaven. I was amazed he had on his Angelic robe, sword strapped to his side, welding gloves, goggles. Then the Angel said to me, help me built this stairwell so we can get the people up to heaven. Then I saw a little demon who looked like a monkey/rat body running around the welding site. I began to chase it, instead of helping the Angel weld the stairwell.
I woke up and I said, what was the meaning of that Dream? I heard a Voice in my Conscience say, keep away from arguments and strife. (Proverbs 20:3 NKJV)
You see, we must be doing the Will of God with Angelic Beings. We should be arguing or in strife with one another. Peter, Paul and John speaks about this. I immediately spoke to both parties in the Church and said I will love you in the Lord whether you are super-spiritual or you need to grow in some area to separate yourselves. As for me, I’m going to continue to serve God as God leads me by HIS Word, Dreams, Visions, Angelic Visitations and whatever method God desires to choose to speak to me.
