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.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

Breaking The Silence

The house is quiet, the dogs are asleep, and my wife is gone for the morning running her errands. The lonely silence gives our home a feeling of emptiness that seems to cry for noise or activity of some kind. What do I do to fill this void? I could turn on the TV – not much on this time of day though. I know; I’ll put on a CD. How about a little "Stones.", ZZ Top or perhaps some Van Halen; all good driving music, but what makes us feel like we have to fill the silence of our homes with noise or some other distraction? Is it because we fear loneliness? We miss a tremendous opportunity to have an intimate relationship with God at times like I just mentioned if we choose earthly substitutes instead of a Spiritual involvement with our Creator. God created us to be involved with Him, to have a yearning for His awesome presence. No music, TV or hobby can truly fill the voids we feel when we are alone. Only He can satisfy our need. Yet, don’t we try to keep busy and fill the airwa...

Awake Out Of Sleep

“…it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed” (Romans 13:11). This verse from the Apostle Paul’s epistle to the Romans is where he was instructing them to put on Christ. He was illustrating that during the time of sleep we are in darkness, our works may be of darkness as well. He went on to say, the night is already gone , in other words before Christ we were in darkness hopelessly lost. Now that He is come and we know the truth of our salvation Paul is saying  it is time for us to wake up! Come out of our darkness, and put on the armor of light, Jesus Christ. We are to make no provision for the flesh for the flesh will only try to fulfill its lusts. This morning, unless we open our minds to the teachings of the Holy Spirit the world will start right in telling us what it expects us to be doing this day. Our night is over, we now have Jesus, He is our Morning Star, our hope, and He alone is the way . “...
