Text- Hebrews 1:13-14 – "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?"
One thing I have discovered is that people don’t have a problem with the idea that there are angels in heaven. Almost everyone who believes there is heaven believes that. What many people find hard to come to terms with, is the fact that angels also visit the earth and can get involved in our daily lives.
However, scriptures make it clear that the ministry of angels in extended to the spheres of men. Scriptures say they are sent forth to minister to the heirs of salvation; to us!
Often times, when angels visit the earth, they come for at least one of seven purposes.
1. Intervention
Angels sometimes come to the earth to do the ministry of intervention. They intervene in a variety of things ranging from battles to health, to finances, and so on and so forth.
We read in John 5:4 that an angel went down at a certain season to stir the waters of the pool of Bethesda as a form of divine intervention for health and healing.
In Joshua 5 &6, we read of how the Angel of the Lord appeared to Joshua, and intervened in the battles fought by Israel. That angel was introduced as the captain of the Lord’s host.
In Genesis 19 when God was about to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, certain angels went down to the city and intervened to protect Lot and his family from destruction.
There are numerous examples in the Bible of how angels came down to intervene in the affairs of men. Beloved, as an heir of salvation, you too can and should experience angelic intervention in your life.
You may not physically see the angels like some saw in the Bible, but you must be sensitive to know when to summon them to do the ministry of intervention on your behalf.
If you summon them, they will intervene in your search for a better job, in delivering you from an accident, in vindicating you from a scandal… Think as wide as possible; if there is any area of your life where you need divine intervention, summon angels on assignment today.
PRAYER
I summon angels on assignment to begin to intervene for me today. I command angelic intervention in all the areas of my life in Jesus Name.
