And as to the angels HE says;“Who makes HIS angels spirits and HIS ministers a flame of fire”.
Hebrews 1:7
“Who makes HIS angels
spirits, HIS ministers a flaming fire”.
Psalm 104:4
Are they not all ministering spirits for service, being sent out because of the ones who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 1:14
As I was
recently meditating upon our LORD’S time in the wilderness following HIS+
baptism, being sent there by The SPIRIT of HIS FATHER,
it was impressed upon me strongly that after HIS+ 40 days with no
food and overcoming the assaults of the lying adversary, that immediately the angels were
there with HIM+ and were ministering to HIM+ ( Matthew 4:11).
This
says to me that they were there watching all that was taking place, watching
their LORD and Commander+, but not interfering in any way. However, when it was
over, they were there ministering to HIM+.
At one point our LORD+ said to the
Apostles, ” From now on you will see the angels of GOD ascending and descending
upon the SON+ of MAN.” We can know for certain that our elder brothers the
Apostles DID see this take place although the details are not recorded
for us. This also says to me that these same
faithful beings, faithful ones of the LORD’S hosts — HIS Sabbaoth (Hebrew), HIS
armies — were there at the arrest, at the mockings, at the false trial, at the
scourging, at the procession through Jerusalem, and at the crucifixion, the
nailing of our Precious LORD+ to the wood of the tree.
They were there, watching, holding
themselves back in total obedience to the ONE+ they loved, waiting as they were
commanded to do. Did not our LORD+ say to the Apostles, ” Do you not think that I cannot now pray to my FATHER, and
HE shall presently give me more than 12 legions of angels?”
( As a side note: In 2 Kings 19:35, ONE angel of the LORD went
out and struck the Assyrian army of 185,000 armed troops, which had threatened
to destroy Jerusalem, and when they arose early in the morning and looked, the
whole Assyrian army lay dead. Please bear in mind that the LORD sent ONE angel
to do this small task!)
Could it
be possible, then, that the angelic
warriors were with our LORD+ as HE+ descended to the heart of the earth
(Matthew 12:40)… after HE+ bowed HIS+ Precious Head on the Cross
and committed HIS+ Spirit into HIS+ FATHER’S HANDS ?
For we KNOW it is
VERY plain from Scripture, that they were there when HE+ Arose from the
tomb three days later! (Thank you Heavenly FATHER for Your
dearly Beloved SON+.)
We know that they were there
to comfort the Apostles and disciples as they watched HIM+ Ascend to HIS+ FATHERS’
Right Hand.
This is all to remind us that we are
promised that these servants of our LORD+ are also assigned to be ministering
spirits and flames of fire around about us, as we walk in the straight and
narrow way that leads to Life Eternal with our LORD+ in the Kingdom of HIS+
FATHER. The heirs of Salvation. (Hebrews 1:14)
Thus…. as we battle the evil that is
around us, we do not battle alone. We
are led by The Blessed HOLY SPIRIT and accompanied by our LORD’S+ angelic
warriors.
Our work is to remain attached to The VINE+ Who+ is our Life.
All of our strength comes from HIM+
as the LIFE that is in HIM+ flows into us. We are changed into HIS+ image and
likeness little by little as we stay with HIM+, uniting
our will with HIS+ will. We must remain attached to HIM+ through
an obedient love-faith relationship … for apart from HIM+ we are not
able to do anything.
In the same way that the Divine
Heavenly Army was around and ministering to our LORD+, they will be around us
as we follow our CAPTAIN+ in the Way HE+ has marked out for us with HIS+ Own
feet. ( Rev. 22:9 tells us that the angels of the LORD are our fellow
servants.!)
How thankful we can be that we do not fight alone!
We have
- The Blessed HOLY SPIRIT within us, to lead and guide us, to hold us in HIS Arms,
- The Blessed Eternal SON+ of GOD at The FATHER’S Right Hand, making continual intercession for us,
- and we have heavenly warriors sent by HIM+ to accompany us, to fight with us and for us as we engage the battle.
We are not alone.
JESUS said, “ I will not leave you orphans; I am coming to you.” (John
14:18 , Greek, J.P. Green’s Interlinear. )
Let us draw ever closer to HIM+ Who
is our Life, both now and unto all eternity. Now and beyond the grave.
How wonderful it is to breathe HIS+breath
and to walk in HIS+ Way!
In The Name of The FATHER,
And of HIS Beloved Eternal SON our LORD+,
And of HIS Blessed Eternal SPIRIT our Guide .
Amen + + +
