The
Bible talks about an angelic visitation in the sixth month: Luke 1:26-28 “In
the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to
a virgin pledged to be married to a man named Joseph, a descendant of David.
The virgin's name was Mary. The angel
went to her and said, "Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is
with you." This visitation brought the good news of the birth of Jesus
Christ, and underscores alongside other scriptures, the importance of angels in
the affairs of humanity.
Who are
angels? What roles do they play in the life of the believer? How can you
activate the ministry of angels in your life? The Nelson's Illustrated Bible
Dictionary describes an angel as “a member of an order of heavenly beings who
are superior to man in power and intelligence. By nature, angels are spiritual
beings (Heb 1:14). Their nature is superior to human nature (Heb 2:7), and they
have superhuman power and knowledge (2 Sam 14:17,20; 2 Peter 2:11).”
Throughout
Scripture, God has consistently used angels as instruments of His power,
protection, guidance, provision, and deliverance. From Genesis to Revelation,
angels appear as divine messengers carrying out God's assignments on behalf of
His covenant people. Angels announced the birth of Isaac, rescued Lot from
Sodom, strengthened Elijah in the wilderness, protected Daniel in the lions'
den, released Peter from prison, ministered to Jesus after His temptation, and
continue to serve God's purposes today.
The
Bible teaches that angels are "ministering spirits sent forth to minister
for those who shall be heirs of salvation" (Hebrews 1:14). This means that
every believer has access to divine assistance through the ministry of angels.
Yet many Christians live unaware of this supernatural provision and therefore
fail to benefit from it. Our
four-part series for the month of June, “Provoking the ministry of Angels”, is
not about worshipping angels, praying to angels, or seeking angelic encounters
for their own sake. Rather, it is about understanding the biblical principles
that position believers for divine intervention and supernatural help.
As we
study this subject, we will discover that angelic activity is often connected
to prayer, worship, obedience, holiness, faith, and God's divine purposes. We
will learn how to cooperate with God's plans and create an atmosphere in which
the ministry of angels is activated. Our prayer throughout this month is that
God will open our eyes to the reality of His supernatural assistance and cause
us to experience fresh dimensions of divine protection, provision, guidance,
and breakthrough. Join us this and every
Sunday, on-line or in person, as we explore the theme.
