"Partnering with the Angels."

 

 

 

 

"Partnering with the Angels."   Highlights from

Chapter 3, “Secrets of the Seer” by Jamie Galloway

 Jesus is King.  Although he came as a servant, He is now King.  God the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit are one triune God.  To ask God to do all the work himself is like asking the King to mow the lawn.  A king has servants and God has a host of heavenly beings.   

When the Kingdom of God is expanding, then the dominion of His rule expands, and the enemies of the Kingdom weaken. 

Jesus named the enemies:  Sickness, broken hearts, poverty, oppression and death. 

Angels heed the voice of His Words.  God wants to speak through you, because you are His voice on the earth to activate the heavenly kingdom. 

Psalms 102:19-22 The LORD has prepared his throne in the heavens; and his kingdom rules over all. Bless the LORD, you his angels that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You who serve Him, doing His will. Bless the LORD, all you works of His, In all places of His dominion; Bless the LORD, O my soul!

Angels wait and listen for the voice.  God’s words come out of our mouth.  Angels agree with God’s words and take action.

Matthew 18:16 But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.' 

We agree with God’s word, and speak and the angels hear from the Holy Spirit and move to do God’s will. 

There may be times we have entertained angels and did not realize it.  Hebrews 13:2 Be kind to strangers, for some have entertained angels unawares.

Various persons in the Bible did not consider it was an angel visiting until later. Peter was released from prison by an angel.  The angels who visited Lot came in the form of men.  Abraham did not suspect the three (3) men who came to announce that he would have a son, were angels until later.   

Elijah could see into the spiritual atmosphere and was able to view the army of the Lord on horses ready to protect them from the enemy. 

Angel visits were through out the Old and New Testament.  Angels shut the lion’s mouths and preserved Daniel. 

Angels came to minister to Jesus after he had fasted for 40 days.  Jesus was tempted and battled to keep his will tuned to the Father’s will. 

Saul who became Paul, saw a bright light that blinded him.  He heard a voice telling him where to go and what to do.   

Angels often appear as lights carrying gifts.  James 1:17  Every good and perfect gift is from God. This kind of gift comes down from the Father who created the heavenly lights. These lights create shadows that move. But the Father does not change like these shadows. 

Heaven is full of light and glory.  Often when angels appear they seem as flashes of light from the corner of your eyes.  Be aware next time this happens to you, because angels are all around. 

Hebrews 1:3  The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His nature, upholding all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. 

Hebrews 1:13-14 Now to which of the angels has He ever said: Sit at My right hand until I make your enemies your footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? 

Angels create an atmosphere for the presence of God.  The more you seek Jesus and His presence; it will be revealed to you, there is more than just knowledge that angels exist to experiencing a life filled with angelic activity.   Angels love to worship God and they join in when you worship Jesus.   

Entertaining angels is not worshiping them, but partnering with them to minister.

Angels refuse worship and John was chastised when he bowed to an angel.  “Only worship God for I am a servant like you are,” the angel told him.

Angels perform the Word of God.  Psalms 103:20 Praise the LORD, you his angels, you mighty ones who do his bidding, who obey his word. 

We speak God’s Word and angels respond.  The angel told Daniel, I have come because of your words.  Daniel 10:12  Declaring the Word of God brings heaven to earth. 

Angels are on assignment to ensure that God’s Kingdom is growing and to bring assistance so that Jesus is Glorified.   

Every time a work of God is done on earth by His people, the Kingdom expands and the enemy is weakened. We obey and acting out of generosity, cast a demon off an oppressed soul, speak life; bring healing to a broken heart or body;  Give to the poor, raise a child in grace and wisdom, we help expand the Kingdom of God on earth. 

When angels become aware of the works of God being accomplished, they step into a place of action.  

In the last days angels will preach the gospel.   Record numbers in foreign lands are testifying they came to Jesus after a vision, a dream or a visitation by an angel. 

Psalms 34:7  The angel of the LORD encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them. 

Angels hear us speak and are activated to do God’s will on earth.  Angels are in motion as they hear God’s words through your voice.

How Does God Judge?

Please follow me at my new site:  CHEWING THE BREAD OF LIFE

Our Bible Study began with taking communion, and a reading from the Bible, about Remembering Christ’s death; that his blood was shed, and his body was broken for you and me. 

God was displeased with King Saul who in direct disobedience had taken it upon himself to light the sacrifice.  God’s judgment was to lift the Holy Spirit from King Saul.  Instead, a spirit of melancholy and jealousy troubled him.  Samuel was sent to the house of Jesse, because one of his sons was to become anointed as a new king. 

1 Samuel 16:1 The LORD said to Samuel, "How long will you mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and be on your way; I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem. I have chosen one of his sons to be king."

God was pleased with David’s son Solomon who later became king, but God warned him:   1 Chronicles 28:9 "And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever.

Peter reminds us that we are special.  God has chosen to dwell in us and we are in Him.  Jesus reminded us that He is in the Father, and the Father in Him, and He is in us; by the Holy Spirit.

1 Peter 2:9 You are God's chosen and special people. You are a group of royal priests and a holy nation. God has brought you out of darkness into his marvelous light.

As Jesus ministered on earth, many of the Religious leaders judged him.  They accused Him of having a devil, and that he was preaching strange doctrine.

Jesus said in the law it is written by 2 or 3 witness’s truth will be made known.

John 8:15-19  “You judge according to the flesh; I am not judging anyone. “But even if I do judge, My judgment is true; for I am not alone in it, but I and the Father who sent Me. “Even in your law it has been written that the testimony of two men is true. “I am He who testifies about Myself, and the Father who sent Me testifies about Me.” So they were saying to Him, “Where is Your Father?” Jesus answered, “You know neither Me nor My Father; if you knew Me, you would know My Father also.”

Jesus spoke of his death, and that soon He would be leaving.  The people and also his disciples did not understand and they questioned, where is he going?  Why does he say in a little while?

Jesus confronted them, because he knew they wanted to kill him.  The leaders denied that anyone wanted him dead, but knew in their hearts that he was speaking truth.  The people claimed to be the seed of Abraham, but Jesus told them, if that were so, you would believe me, but because you do not believe, your father is the devil for he is a liar and a murderer from the beginning. They thought as long as they did not steal and murder they would be okay.

The Jewish people were attacking Jesus very being and especially His words; feeling that they justified in trying to kill Jesus.  They told Jesus, you are not yet fifty years old, and how can you speak of being with Abraham?  Jesus said, before Abraham was, “I AM.”  Jesus was using the Old Testament name of God that was given to Moses, (tell them “I AM” has sent you.)  This statement placed Jesus as God and they knew his meaning.  Now they were serious about putting Him to death – saying he blasphemed.

Jesus willingly took the assignment to go to the cross and shed His blood, and his body to be broken.  Upon his resurrection, Jesus became our High Priest.  The Priest could not enter the Holy of Holies unless he was without sin and had been purified.

Romans 5:17 For if by one man's offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in LIFE by one, Jesus Christ.

Samuel came to anoint David to become the new King.  God said, “Don’t look on the face or his height.  God had rejected King Saul because of his sins.  The Lord looks on the heart and chose Solomon to become the next king. 

Understand that when you accept Jesus as your Lord that he creates in you a clean heart.  Jesus intercedes in heaven for you that your faith will not fail. 

Allow the Holy Spirit to show you how to respond when you are challenged for your faith. 

Keep your heart (attitude) right and your ears ready to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit.

A Heavenly Language

I will still be using Chewing the Bread of Life Blog but am posting this message here as well - -

Does Heaven have its own language?  Is this Language more powerful than any other?

 

Speaking and Praying in other tongues is using a Heavenly Language.  Often others will hear in their own language your words, but what you speak and what they hear may be two different things.  To you it may be gibberish, but to the hearer it is a language.  Interesting !  

On YouTube is a very good message about Tongues and reasons for using this gift.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=omJ64XuEnMo  

After viewing this very informative video, I had some thoughts that may interest you.

Remember Adam and Eve in the Book of Genesis?  What language do you think they spoke?  It must have been the same language that God speaks, and I doubt that it was English.  Consider that they spoke a Heavenly Language and communicated with God in God’s natural tongue.  This language had power and strength when believed to accomplish the impossible.  Adam and Eve took this language with them when they were escorted out of the garden.   

As people grew in number they decided to build a tower to reach heaven.  They were all speaking this Heavenly Language derived from the beginning in the garden.  God knew that they could accomplish anything they set their mind to do; and were in agreement with one another.  Even a tower to reach heaven?  Impossible you say, but God thought otherwise. 

God made a decision and that was to remove the Language of Heaven, bring confusion and disburse to everyone different earthly languages.   Now their communication with each other was like babble and they could no longer understand each other.  This resulted in a separation of groups each leaving with their family; going in different directions and the building of the tower stopped. 

When Jesus gave the 400 who gathered on the mountain the instructions to return to Jerusalem and wait for the Baptism of the Holy Spirit - - only 120 considered his commandment important.  We still have people today who feel this Baptism of Fire and speaking in other tongues is really not important, but Jesus thought it was extremely necessary.   

 

Jesus said, “You shall receive POWER after that the Holy Spirit Baptizes you.” 

The prophets of old prophesied that this out pouring would happen and that marvelous encounters with God would occur.   

What is the secret to the Glory and Power to generate the Works of God?   

God was restoring the Heavenly Language where nothing would be impossible to those who pray using their gift of tongues.  After Pentecost - - the Heavenly language would activate heaven’s door to open gifts that could be sent down from heaven to mankind with power to do the greater works of Jesus.   

Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, and to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord 

Are you willing to activate the most powerful weapon in the armor of God?  It is to loose the tongue to pray in Heaven’s Language.  This language calls forth the angelic host to come and partner with you to do the miraculous.   

It is time to set aside your preconceived ideas that tongues are okay, but not really needed. 

Take note what is happening around you when you lay aside your prodigious traditional thinking and embrace the power that is available to you, in utilizing your Heavenly Language. 

Understand that knowing and doing are two different things.   Set aside time to pray using your gift. 

When I walk in my yard, when I drive my car, I sing in tongues, and generate a change in the atmosphere, so can you.
