Angels, You Are Not Alone!
Angels are Created by God - David Breed
MESSAGE NOTES:
Are Angels real?
Are they here on earth today?
Are they listening to your words - what you are saying- if God is listening to you are they?
Are Angels real?
What did Jesus say about angels, Jesus said they were real?
Matthew 18:10 King James Version (KJV)
10 Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven.
Matthew 18:10 The Message (MSG)
10 “Watch that you don’t treat a single one of these childlike believers arrogantly. You realize, don’t you, that their personal angels are constantly in touch with my Father in heaven?
Jesus is saying > IT DOESN”T MATTER WHETHER YOU SEE GOD’S HELP OR NOT, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE CONFIDENT ANGELS ARE THERE.
Everyone has a guardian angel. Jesus spoke of that angels that guard the little children. He said their angel do always behold the face of my father. We just have assumed that the guardian angels left us when we grew up, but they have not. Angels are very much alive and active around us today they will work in the mirror and they will work for you they will become involved in every area of your life your home your business and everything but only to the extent that you allow them to operate we must wake up the fact that God has provided for us supernaturally angels that have been sent to do things that we cannot do in our present circumstances.The angels are real, they are from Genesis chapter 3:24 all the way to Revelations 19: 11 and 14. Jesus said they are real - the Bible says they are real.
Are Angels here on earth?
Hebrews 1: (Chapters 1 and 2 are the angel chapters)
Hebrews 1:14
14 All the angels are spirits who serve God and are sent to help those who will receive salvation.
The word Salvation here means = preservation, healing, soundness and deliverance from temporal evils. Angels are available to us.
Angels can be seen helping children of God in many different ways from cover to cover throughout the Bible. In the old testament angels dramatically protected Gods Children and often delivered the whole nation of israel at once during a battle. In the new testament Angels announced the birth of Jesus christ and and also announced the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Angels were on hand for everything from shipwrecks to jail breaks. We need to increase our expectation of how angels can help you and me. Lets take a look at some bible scriptures where and how angels miraculously assisted God’s children Old Testament. s)
2 Kings 6:14-17 (ICB) Open his eyes
14 Then the king sent horses, chariots and a large army to Dothan. They arrived at night and surrounded the city.
15 The servant of Elisha got up early. When he went out, he saw an army with horses and chariots all around the city. The servant said to Elisha, “Oh, my master, what can we do?”
16 Elisha said, “Don’t be afraid. The army that fights for us is larger than the one against us.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, “Lord, open my servant’s eyes. Let him see.”
The Lord opened the eyes of the young man. And he saw that the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Did God DID GOD SEND CHARIOTS OF FIRE AROUND SAMARIA? NO. WERE HORSES AND CHARIOTS OF FIRE AROUND THE SERVANT BOY? NO. ISN'T THAT INTERESTING DESCRIPTION DOESN'T SAY THE CITY WAS SURROUNDED WITH GODS HELP. IT DOESN'T SAY THE SERVANT WAS SORT OF A GUYS HELP. IS Said THAT ELIJAH THE MAN OF GOD WAS SURROUNDED WITH GODS HELP, AND GREAT VICTORY CAME DOWN THAT DAY.
IT DOESN”T MATTER WHETHER YOU SEE GOD’S HELP OR NOT, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE CONFIDENT ANGELS ARE THERE.
2 Kings 7:1-8 (ICB)
1 Elisha said, “Listen to the Lord’s word. This is what he says: ‘About this time tomorrow 7 quarts of fine flour will be sold for two-fifths of an ounce of silver. And 13 quarts of barley will be sold for two-fifths of an ounce of silver. This will happen at the gate of Samaria.’”
2 Then the officer who was close to the king answered Elisha. He said, “Even if the Lord opened windows in heaven, that couldn’t happen.”
Elisha said, “Because you have said that, you will see it with your eyes. But you will not eat any of it.”
3 There were four men with a harmful skin disease at the entrance to the city gate. They said to each other, “Why do we sit here until we die? 4 A time of hunger is in the city. So if we go into the city, we will die there. If we stay here, we will die. So let’s go to the Aramean camp. If they let us live, we will live. If they kill us, then we die.”
5 So they got up at twilight. And they went to the Aramean camp. But when they arrived, no one was there. 6 The Lord had caused the Aramean army to hear the sound of chariots, horses and a large army. They had said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the Hittite and Egyptian kings to attack us!” 7 So they ran away in the twilight. They left their tents, horses and donkeys. They left the camp standing and ran for their lives.
8 The men with the skin disease came to the edge of the camp. Then they went into one of the tents. They ate and drank. They carried silver, gold and clothes out of the camp and hid them. Then they came back and entered another tent. They carried things from this tent and hid them, also. 9 Then they said to each other, “We’re doing wrong. Today we have good news, but we are silent. If we wait until the sun comes up, we’ll be punished. Let’s go now and tell the people in the king’s palace.”
An angelic army was dispatched from heaven with great force and God opened up the Syrian army’s ears to hear into the spirit realm and the army heard all the angel army forces coming near.
IT DOESN”T MATTER WHETHER YOU SEE GOD’S HELP OR NOT, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE CONFIDENT YOUR ANGELS ARE THERE.
1 Chronicles 14:9-17
9 And the Philistines came and spread themselves in the valley of Rephaim.
10 And David enquired of God, saying, Shall I go up against the Philistines? And wilt thou deliver them into mine hand? And the Lord said unto him, Go up; for I will deliver them into thine hand.
11 So they came up to Baalperazim; and David smote them there. Then David said, God hath broken in upon mine enemies by mine hand like the breaking forth of waters: therefore they called the name of that place Baalperazim.
12 And when they had left their gods there, David gave a commandment, and they were burned with fire.
14 Therefore David enquired again of God;(secret of angelic protection - God’s will will give you God’s angels to precut His will being done on the earth - it is a given fact - DO HIS WILL HE WILL PROTECT YOU - IF YOUR WILL AND YOIUR WORDS ARE LINED UP WITH HIS. and God said unto him, Go not up after them; turn away from them, and come upon them over against the mulberry trees.
15 And it shall be, when thou shalt hear a sound of going in the tops of the mulberry trees, that then thou shalt go out to battle: for God is gone forth before thee to smite the host of the Philistines.
16 David therefore did as God commanded him: and they smote the host of the Philistines from Gibeon even to Gazer.
17 And the fame of David went out into all lands; and the Lord brought the fear of him upon all nations.
Aramaic translation of 1 Chronicles 14:15 the says:
When you hear the sound of the angels coming to your assistance, then go out to the battle for the angel is sent from the presence of God that He may render your way prosperous.
This is one of the videos I want to see when I get to heaven. When the Israel army heard the footsteps of marching in the trees, they were hearing the angel army of God coming to do battle for the children of God.
IT DOESN”T MATTER WHETHER YOU SEE GOD’S HELP OR NOT, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE CONFIDENT YOUR ANGELS ARE THERE.
Psalm 91:11 (Laughing Bird)
……..HE HAS made it their job to protect us wherever we go.
Psalm 91:11 (ICB)
11 He has put his angels in charge of you. They will watch over you wherever you go.
Psalm 91:11Amplified Bible, Classic Edition (AMPC)
11 For He will give His angels [especial] charge over you to accompany and defend and preserve you in all your ways [of obedience and service].
Are Angels listening to your words? What you are saying? - if God is listening to what you are saying they are too!
Psalm 103 King James Version (KJV)
20 Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of his, that do his pleasure.
Psalm 103:20-21 (ICB)
20 You who are his angels, praise the Lord. You are the mighty warriors who do what he says. Listen to what he says.
21 You, his armies, praise the Lord. You are his servants who do what he wants.
Psalm 103:20-21 Message Bible
Praise the Lord, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding,who obey his word.
If they are listening to God’s Word and doing Gods Word we need to be saying Gods Word so they can be working for us. Your Words are powerful!
The secret of angelic protection is being in the Will of God. - God’s will is to give you angels to protect His will being done on the earth - it is a given fact - DO HIS WILL - HE WILL PROTECT YOU - IF YOUR WILL AND YOUR WORDS ARE LINED UP WITH HIS.
God’s Word confirms with over 200 scriptures that angels are real. There are unseen angels around you all the time - they are assigned to you - to help you at every given moment. Angels are big, strong powerful agents of God that are on standby 24/7 to deliver ordinary people like you and me who love God and do His Will in our lives.
IT DOESN”T MATTER WHETHER YOU SEE GOD’S HELP OR NOT, YOU CAN ALWAYS BE CONFIDENT YOUR ANGELS ARE THERE.
Confession:
Thank you Father: that Your angels are real and they watch over me. Any weapon that is aimed at me will be turned away. In Jesus name.
(Psalm 91:11,12 and Isaiah 54:17)
The Portland Vision - John G. Lake
May 20, 1920
(Excerpt from the Portland vision)
I discerned the heart of the angel was overburdened. In answer to this the angel said, “Human selfishness and human pride have consumed and dissipated the very glory and heavenly power that God once gave from heaven to this movement as you have beheld tonight.”
We were now at the foot of the pathway again. He took a step or two away, and in a sort of despair my heart cried out, “Angel, these are struggling for want of an ideal. What constitutes real Pentecost? What ideal should be held before the minds of men as the will of God exhibited through a movement like this?”
During all this time I had carried my Bible in my hand. Reaching for the Bible, he opened to the Book of Acts, ran his finger down over the second page, that portion where the Spirit of God came down from Heaven. Proceeding through the Book of Acts to its great outstanding revelations and phenomena, he said, “This is Pentecost as God gave it through the heart of Jesus. Strive for this. Contend for this. Teach the people to pray for this. For this, and this alone, will meet the necessity of the human heart, and this alone will have the power to overcome the forces of darkness.” When the angel was departing he said, “Pray. Pray. Pray. Teach the people to pray. Prayer and prayer alone, much prayer, persistent prayer, is the door of entrance into the heart of God.”
Angels in Our Midst - Kenneth E. Hagin
IN TEACHING ME about angels, the Lord pointed out the scripture, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?” (Heb. 1:14). I always thought this verse said, “minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation.” But it says, “minister for them.” The word “minister” used here carries the thought of waiting on or serving. For instance, when you go into a restaurant, a waitress “ministers” to you by waiting on or serving you. In other words, she waits for your order.
Angels are ministering spirits who are sent to minister, not just to one, but for all who are heirs of salvation. Someone might ask, “Why haven’t they done anything?” Because they are waiting for you to give them the order, just as a waitress cannot do anything for you until you give her the order!
In August of 1963, the Lord appeared to me and began talking to me about my ministry. An angel stood about three feet behind Him. Every time I looked at the angel he looked back at me as if he were about to say something. But then I would look back to Jesus and the angel wouldn’t say anything. Finally I said to the Lord, “Who is this angel and what does he represent?”
“That’s your angel,” He replied.
“My angel!”
“Yes, don’t you know, it is written in My Word where I said to My disciples, ‘Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven’ (Matt.19:14). Then in another place I said, ‘[For] their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven’ (Matt. 18:10). You don’t lose your angel just because you grow up,” Jesus said.
Think about it. Why would we lose our angel just because we grow up?
“But Lord,” I said, “You are here. Why can’t You deliver the message?”
I wanted to be scriptural. We receive guidance from the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. I wasn’t sure about an angel giving me a message.
Jesus reminded me of when the angel of the Lord awakened Peter when he was in jail, and in answer to prayer, led him out of jail. And the times when the angel of the Lord appeared to others like Philip and Paul to give them direction and a message from God.
I repented for my ignorance. I thought I was being a stickler for the Word. I think many times dear people have been defeated by thinking they were sticklers for the Word, when they were really just being sticklers for what they thought the Word said. The Word may have more to say on some subjects than they realized.
If we’re not careful, we can get so conscious of obeying the letter of the Word that we miss the Spirit of the Word and shut the door on God and on the move of the Holy Spirit.
From that day, I learned to order my ministering spirits to go and minister for me—an heir of salvation—and cause finances or whatever I needed to come, in Jesus’ Name.
Believers aren’t to pray and seek for angels to appear to them; the devil might accommodate them. The Bible says, “For Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light” (2 Cor. 11:14). Just stay faithful to God. If He sees fit, a believer may have a divinely granted appearance. If He doesn’t, that’s fine too. God is the One Who grants these things as He wills.
Excerpt from Kenneth E. Hagin’s book I Believe in Visions.
Angels, Heaven Helping Us - Mark Brazee
God has made a lot of promises to mankind. He’s made a lot of promises to you and me, and one of the primary ways God keeps His promises and delivers the help mankind needs is through the avenue of angelic activity.
Angels are here to help heaven help us.
It’s been true all through the Old Testament, it’s been true all through the New Testament, and it’s true even now as we bump up against everything God is beginning to do in this hour.
God worked through angels in the Old Testament delivering protection and victory on the battlefield, showing up with hosts of angelic armies and chariots of fire. Angels brought supernatural provision and food as three million children of Israel traveled to the Promised Land. An angel closed the mouths of lions ready to attack Daniel in the lions’ den and rescued Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego from the fire.
In the New Testament, angels announced the birth of Jesus, His ministry and His resurrection from the dead. Angels broke Peter out of jail and stood by Paul during a violent storm and ship wreck. And when the trumpet sounds, angels will announce the return of Jesus in great glory.
Yet, what angels have done for mankind from Genesis to Revelation is only the beginning. Angels are all around us today continuing to work in our lives. The Bible tells us in Matthew 18:10 that God assigns a guardian angel to each human being, so whether you have seen an angel or whether you ever do see an angel makes no difference. Either way, I guarantee you that angels are working in your life.
In fact, even now God’s Word gives us every reason to believe we’re about to see a flurry of angelic activity on the earth. I believe this increase of angelic assistance is about to unfold before us and surpass every Bible account we’ve read and every testimony we’ve heard. Why? We’re entering an era when the Church is preparing to do its greatest work, experience its greatest miracles and need its greatest assistance.
Let’s purpose to know more about God’s angels so we can expect their help and not be afraid when God has them manifest in unusual ways. Let’s partner with angels assigned by God to work hand in hand with us bringing about God’s will in the earth and in our lives. How? We need to develop an accurate picture of angels and what they’re all about. We need to recognize who they are, what they are, and when and how they function. We need to understand how we can cooperate with them and activate them in our lives.
Hebrews 1:14 says, “Are they [angels] not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation.” Their job is to minister to and for whom? They minister to and for the heirs of salvation, which includes all of us in the body of Christ. In other words, God assigns angels to guard and protect us, deliver healing and miracles to us, bring in money to meet our needs, arrange divine connections and appointments for us, provide us with directions and guidance and much more.
Keep in mind that these mighty supernatural angelic creatures are not the chubby little babies wearing diapers and shooting bows and arrows we see on Valentine’s Day cards. They’re also not the females in long white flowing gowns we see in museum paintings around the world. The angels I’m talking about are the same big, powerful beings the Bible talks about.
It’s important that we don’t get excessive or extreme on the topic of angels and worship them or elevate them ahead of the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. In more than 30 years of ministry, I’ve seen so many times when angels would begin to manifest, but before long they became all people could think about and talk about. Angels don’t take the place of Jesus or the Holy Spirit. They don’t take the place of God’s Word or faith or prayer. But they are one facet of how God ministers and a facet the Church needs to know more about and understand.
If the Church will allow angels to manifest and work in our behalf without worshipping them, then we will experience their help like never before. That’s why we need these truths planted in our hearts and stirred up in our lives. At times we’ll know when angels are working with us; most of the time we won’t. But mark my words, we will see results, and we’ll thank God for it. Angels will be actively involved in harvest and in so many different areas of our lives.
Let’s expect their help.
Let’s expect them to be involved in our lives and in our churches.
Let’s expect angels to help heaven help us.
Excerpt from Mark Brazee's book Angels - Heaven Helping Us
Ten Ways Angels Are Involved In Our Lives - Keith Butler
In God's Word, I have found instances of angels doing ten different things regarding the children of God.
Number one, we find in the Word of God that angels are involved in healing.
Number two, angels are involved in delivering.
Three, angels are involved in strengthening. The Greek word translated "strengthening" means "invigorating"!
Number four, angels are involved in giving revelation from God.
Number five, they are talked about in the Word of God as doing battle!
Six, there is an instance of angels handling the death of Christians.
Number seven, angels are involved in protecting believers.
Number eight, they are described as looking just like us - so much so that we can't tell the difference between an angel and a human being!
Number nine, angels are involved in delivering messages - even to Jesus Himself.
And, ten, we find in the Word angels leading the way into the future for the children of God.
That's a pretty impressive list! Even in the New Testament, angels are involved in all the things I've just mentioned. God intended for angels to minister to - to assist, to aid, and help - anyone who is an heir of salvation!
Hebrews 2:3 says, "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation...?" In other words, how shall we walk in total victory if we don't have the ministry of angels working for us the way God intended it to work?
Many don't realize the role of angels in our everyday lives, but angels are always with us. If the gift of discerning of spirits (1 Cor. 12:10) were in operation, you would be able to see into the spirit realm the angels who are always with you.
Incidentally, this spiritual gift is called discerning of spirits, not the gift of discernment. I've heard people say, "Well, I have the gift of discernment, and I can tell whether people are good or bad."
No, they don't have the gift of discernment. What they have is a gift of suspicion!
In First Corinthians chapter 12, the Apostle Paul lists the revelation gifts - the word of wisdom, word of knowledge, and discerning of spirits. The word "discern" means to see. So when the gift of discerning of spirits is in operation, a person can see into the realm of the spirit.
If you had an manifestation of discerning of spirits right now, you would see that the room you are in is full of angels. Standing by your seat or by your side are your angels. And I would say that many of them are dormant. That simply means they are not active to the full extent that God intended.
God intended for angels to minister to you - to assist, to aid, and to help you - throughout your entire life and in every area of your life.
How to 'Activate' the Angels - Keith Butler
Angels are our servants. We could say that angels are, for lack of a better term, "robots." In effect, they have been programmed, and the only thing they can do is what they have been programmed to do.
If we push their "on" button, they operate. If we push their "off" button, they stop operating. We can turn that button on, and we can turn that button off.
Your Angel Can Be Active or Dormant in Your Life
In other words, before we can have the ministry of angels working in our lives, we must first understand what it is that causes angels to be "activated." I use the word "activated" because angels can remain dormant.
Although angels are always with us, they can remain dormant and never even begin to operate and minister for us as God intended.
How do you activate the ministry of angels on your behalf? The answer is found in Psalm 103:20, "Bless the Lord, ye his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, HEARKENING UNTO THE VOICE OF HIS WORD."
We understand from this verse of Scripture that angels hearken unto the commands of the Lord—unto God's Word. Angels still do this today. God gives angels their instructions, and they listen and obey.
That also means that when we say what God's Word says—when we speak God's Word—we loose or release angels to work on our behalf. But when we speak words contrary to what God has said, we bind or hinder our angels from working for us.
How To Speak With the 'Voice of God'
It is important for us to know that angels hearken unto the voice of God. It is also important to know how God's voice is manifested. God's voice is not only manifested by God's speaking from His throne or through the Holy Ghost—the voice of God is manifested when believers speak in line with His Word!
When we speak God's Word, we are speaking with the "voice of God!"
You see, the Bible is God speaking to you and me. And God said in Isaiah 55:11 that His Word will not return to Him void. In other words, when the Word of God is spoken out of the mouth of a believer, it is the same as God the Father speaking it, and the angels hearken unto God's Word spoken by a believer the same way they do when God himself gives a command from His throne!
We can command our angels to minister for us by speaking on the authority of God's word.

Angels: Heaven Helping Us - Mark Brazee
Angels are one of the primary ways God delivers help to mankind. From Genesis to Revelation, God sent angel armies in chariots of fire to rescue Bible heroes, bring supernatural provision, shut the mouths of lions, break Peter out of jail and save Paul from shipwreck. But that’s only the beginning. Author Mark Brazee shares actual first-hand and eye-witness accounts of angels working here on earth to help us today. Mark Brazee teaches from God’s Word that angels are not chubby Cupid-like creatures sitting on clouds playing harps or women with halos featured in museum paintings. God’s angels are big, strong, powerful agents of God on standby 24/7 to deliver miraculous intervention into the daily lives of ordinary people like you and me.
