The Ways of Angels

 

     We have studied much about angels. They are innumerable. They surround the throne of God in worship and praise. We have looked at the appearance of some and the fall of others. They speak and deliver messages and fight spiritual battles. Some have six wings and others have four faces. Here are a few more interesting facts about this glorious part of the heavenly host.

     Angels hearken to God’s word:

Bless the Lord, you his angels, that excel in strength, that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.  Psalm 103:20

     Read God’s word out loud as you study and angels will hearken to you!

     Angels do not marry and neither will we in heaven:

But those who are considered worthy of taking part in the age to come and in the resurrection from the dead will neither marry nor be given in marriage, and they can no longer die, for they are like the angels. They are God’s children, since they are children of the resurrection.  Luke 20:35-36 (see also Matthew 12:25)

     I told my husband I was still going to live near him in heaven and he got the strangest look on his face.  I guess I’ll have to give him a 1,000-year break now and again.

  Angels rejoice over our salvation and they want to look into such things:

In the same way, I tell you there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.  Luke 15:10

….when they spoke of the things that have now been told you by those who have preached the gospel to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven. Even angels long to look into these things.  1 Peter 1:12

     Men and women do not turn into angels, but angels can disguise themselves as man.

Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers, for by so doing some people have shown hospitality to angels without knowing it.  Hebrews 13:2

     Angels are not to be worshipped:

At this, I fell at his feet to worship him, but he said to me, “Don’t do that! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers and sisters who hold to the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For it is the Spirit of prophecy who bears testimony to Jesus.”  Revelation 19:10 (see also Revelations 22:8-9)

     Angels eat. The manna that God sent from heaven for the Israelites to eat could be the first mention of angel food cake.

Human beings ate the bread of angels; he sent them all the food they could eat.  Psalm 78:25

      Angels:

 Watch over us.Psalm 91:11

Protec: Daniel 6:21-22 Acts 27:21-25

Guide Acts 8 

Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?  Hebrews 1;14

Lord,

How wonderful to think of angels ministering to us, watching over us and protecting us. Thank You for Your words that have so much to teach us.

In Jesus name,

Amen
