Angels: God's Messengers


“Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by doing some have unwittingly entertained angels “(Hebrews 13:2).

We may not know all we would like to about angels; but the Bible makes ninety-one references to them. Since God’s Word is true I do believe in these powerful, holy beings (2 Peter 2:11; Luke 9:26). They don’t have physical bodies as we understand. Most of the time they are invisible to the human eye; however, sometimes they appear glorious with the light of God surrounding them (Matthew 28:4). They appear sometimes in human form (Genesis 19). I believe God sends them to us to confirm His holy presence in our lives.

A couple of years ago, I had a dream in which a homeless man appeared; walking with a crutch. In my dream, I was to give him a Bible with a ten dollar bill tucked inside it. The next morning, on my way into town I passed a homeless man on the left side of the road, he was standing there propped on a tree limb which he was using as a crutch. I drove on past him but suddenly remembered my dream the night before. In a Spiritual awareness God spoke to me saying “This is the man I showed you in your dream.” Well, I turned around and went back to the man. I looked for one of my little New Testaments I keep in my glove compartment for handing out but they were all gone. I then looked in my wallet for a ten dollar bill but all that I had was three one dollar bills and a twenty. I reached for the three ones and God said, “No, give him the twenty!” Of course, I did as God told me. After leaving the man I drove maybe a block and turned around not believing what had just happened. I had just lived out my dream! When I looked for the man he was gone! In a matter of ten or fifteen seconds he had disappeared! To this day I still believe he was an angel testing my willingness to be faithful to what God had called me to do.

In his book, Angels: God’s Secret Agents, Billy Graham said, “We may not always be aware of the presence of angels. We can’t always predict how they will appear. But angels have been said to be our neighbors. The Bible assures us, one day our eyes will be unscaled to see and know the full extent of the attention angels have given us (1 Corinthians 13:11, 12). “

God watches over us, and I believe He sends powerful His angels to encourage us and to help us know His will for our lives. I thank God for His holy messengers.

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...

A Promise is a Promise

When you were a child did your parents ever promise to take you somewhere special for your birthday? Maybe they promised you could stay up late with them the night of your birthday? You never doubted their promises did you? I mean, a promise is a promise. If they told you they were going to do something you just knew it was going to happen! I remember how excited I was when my parents promised me something and they gave it to me!  I’ll never forget how I trusted them. Neither can I forget the promises God has made and kept for me in my lifetime. He has always been faithful to deliver what He has promised to me. Sometimes the evil one tries to convince me God hasn’t delivered though. He tries to convince me God changes His mind. Its times like this that I will to remain strong. I read what God says and declare how great my God is! Just because we don’t see His fulfillment according to our understanding at that particular time does not mean He hasn’t done it or isn’t going to do ...
