So the title, my message tonight is this, we're going to kind of
move in a little direction here. We're talking about duties
beyond the clouds, all right, because we're dealing with
angels now. Last week we exposed this
picture is air, right? Because angels themselves do not
have wings. Cherubims have wings, Seraphims
have wings. But there's no indication that
angels themselves have wings. It never speaks about Gideon
having wings. It doesn't talk about the
Archangel Michael having wings at all.
In fact, in in in the encounters with angels, people that
encounter them see them as humans, and I have not seen a
normal human wearing wings. Now I have seen humans wearing
fake wings. OK, I have been in some places
where it's obvious that this lady that went by desires to be
a fairy and has some things on their back, but they did not
grow there. They were not born with it.
Are you hearing me? OK, so we finished out last week
with this particular scripture. We're not finished out, but we
use this one. I want to launch with it today.
It's Hebrews chapter 13 verse. Two, it says, be not forgetful
to entertain strangers, right? Again, strangers for thereby
some have entertained angels unaware, which means then we
said this last week, there's nothing extra spiritual about a
person if they see an Angel. If a person encounters an Angel
does make does not mean that they are more spiritually in
tune with heaven or the realm of the Spirit.
Amen. Because he tells us that when we
entertain strangers, we may have entertained angels unaware,
which we may be able to conclude right now that everyone in this
room has actually seen an Angel. You just don't know it.
Now if you stop long enough and think, you may realize maybe I
did OK. For years I thought a particular
person could have been an Angel. When my wife and I answered the
call to go to Atlanta after I had finished a tour in the
National Guard, now not a a overseas tour, it was stateside
tour coming off the first Desert Storm and that whole thing was
ending. So I, my wife and I moved up to
Atlanta to live with her father, influence that family up there.
None of them were born again or saved.
And so we went up there. It was kind of like our
missionary journey for our family and we were heading up on
July 4th weekend and so I had left Florida.
It was hot, probably 90 something degree 95 or more.
And we look, you know, we got our I got a truck with a U-Haul
on the back of it. Things loaded in the truck.
My wife's in a little Mazda. 323.
Have our two kids, 'cause Brianna was not known yet.
She was she was there, but she was not known yet.
OK. And so at that, with that being
said, we were on 75 head north and a crane had hit one of the
overpasses that was hindering the northbound 75 from
continuing. So we had to do a detour.
Well, we got stuck in traffic at noon.
It took us 2 hours to go 4 miles.
Just say Amen. So we pulled over, got into this
one place. Obviously I don't know how our
kids made it because Chase was just a baby and he hated car
seats. He hated them.
I mean he would scream. It was horrible.
I mean, thank God he outgrew that.
The car seat that is. We got out of that deal because
that was horrid. Just the absolute fit he had by
being in that seat. All right, I would like to say
this, just because we use our children as examples do not mean
that you should reward them for things that did not happen when
they were children. It has come to our attention
that when Pastor Marcy mentioned about Brianna not having any
Ninja Turtle underwear that someone sent her a pair.
Yeah, it's in a pizza box 'cause you know, Ninja Turtles love
pizza and so she's got a pair. Do not send Chase a car seat.
After this example, OK #1 they're not having any more
children. OK.
So I want to save you an expense, all right?
OK. I cannot confirm or deny whether
Brianna put those on or not. Cannot do that.
OK. But I do know Caius likes them
all right? So maybe she'll save him till he
gets older because I think they may be a little big right now.
With that being. Said We pulled over, stopped to
get something to eat, 'cause, you know, again, here it is, 242
hours later, we finally get, you know, the four miles.
We're going to stop for a second with our kids, regroup, moved,
ate some food from Dairy Queen because that's all that was at
the exit people. And and then I went to crank up
the truck and it was dead. It would not crank up.
Now, this store gas station is not a service station.
There was not a garage associated with this.
And so as a result of that, you know, we're like, what are we
going to do? I have no jumper cables,
nothing. I mean, there's people
everywhere, don't get me wrong. I mean, you know, 'cause people,
yeah, we made it off the road. There was others that were
overheating because of the air conditioning running and not
moving. They were already diving on the
sides of the roads, right? But we were able to make it off
car. No, the car is what died.
The truck was fine. Anyway, a guy comes up, he had
to be at least six, one, all right, Very thin guy at six, one
probably weighing maybe 150. Maybe he had no shirt on, no
shoes on. He was wearing Jean shorts that
were so short that the whites of the pockets, you could see them
coming out, right? He says.
What's what's going on? I said, well, batteries dead.
I don't have any jumper cables, you know, because obviously saw
us with a couple of kids. He says, you know, so he said we
got another truck. I said, yeah, I don't know how
we had that conversation, but but I said it cranks.
He said. He said, well, do you have?
He goes, you got a pair of pliers?
I said I do. He said, OK.
He said, I can, I can help you. All right.
So he said, pop the hood of the truck, pop the hood of the
truck. He disconnects the battery,
pulls it out of the truck, walks over, puts it down, picks up the
hood in my wife's car, sets it down.
He grabs a tire iron and a pair of pliers, all metal.
He says get in. True story, people, true story.
He puts it on. The the you know.
Posts and he said hit it. So I did click, click, click,
click, click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
Stopped, right. He said do it again.
Probably did it three times. Third time, cranked up.
Then he went putting the other battery back in the truck,
cranked it up. We were on the road.
His name was Junior from Tifton. No, actually from Sylvester.
It was from Sylvester. OK, so every time I was on 75
going through Tifton, it has a sign to Sylvester.
And I said, Lord, I don't even know if Junior's a real person.
He could have been an Angel. But all I know is if he is, I
pray for him and his family. They get born again every time.
I went by a few years ago, probably five or six now, maybe
10. We've been here 20 years now.
Could have been longer, but a couple showed up at our church
for a season. OK, Anna's here.
I tell this story. Next thing you know, they're on
their phones. Come to find out they were
related to Junior in Sylvester. And they called him and asked,
did you remember doing this? Isn't that amazing?
So all those prayers brought in one of their families in our
church years later. Wow.
So don't underestimate, you know, things that you know
people are doing and the influences.
Even though you know, Junior wasn't an Angel, he was really a
person I did not know. But we are entertaining angels
unaware. So seeing an Angel doesn't make
you. Super spiritual.
The reason I say that is because in the last of the last days
with seducing spirits and doctrines of demons.
In fact, we'll show this scripture later on.
We get into studies concerning the demonic realm.
It says the devil will come as an Angel of light.
Now why would he do that? Because he.
Knows the minute you are wanting and are lusting would be a
better way to say that you have a lust to be known to see into
the spirit and be known by the church or the crowd you're
around that you see spiritual things.
He will accommodate you with a counterfeit.
OK, He'll accommodate you with a counterfeit and then all of a
sudden that counterfeit will get you into thoughts concerning the
word that is off. Are you hearing me?
So again, we just stay with the Word.
That's why we are not the worship angels.
We said this last week in Colossians chapter 2 verse 18.
Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in
self abasement and the worship of angels.
Taking his stand on visions he has seen inflated without calls
by his fleshly mind. So again, look what this Paul
says to the Colossians church. He said let no one keep, which
means somebody's been talking. Keep defrauding you of your
prize by delighting in self abasement in the worship of
angels. Again, you know people want you
to think they're seeing things they're not.
Seeing. So that you then will think
they're more in tune with God and the minute you begin to suck
up to them, what have you seen, what have you heard?
Then the devil will accommodate them with some spirits from his
realm or dominion. They are called familiar
spirits. And familiar spirits travel
around and get connected with families and things because they
have multiple open doors. And familiar spirits knows, they
know what you've been wearing. They know what Cologne you put
'cause they're around you. Then that person then that has
opened themselves up to try to worship angels and seem like,
you know, they're super tapped into the realm of the spirit to
try to pull you off or defraud you.
Then the next thing you know, a familiar spirit will speak to
them and say where they can say yes.
You know, three days ago you were wearing and you're like.
You're right and not even know that you're entertaining the
demonic realm which is witchcraft.
OK, so obviously God is preparing us as the church,
which He's preparing His whole church for those who are
preaching and teaching what is necessary for His return.
Amen. Because Jesus made us very
clear, we started out this year with the reigning Spirit to
communicate in the last of the last days.
There will be some that will fall away from the faith, giving
heed to doctrines of demons and seducing spirits.
So we have to talk about this realm so that we are not seduced
or deceived, received in the spirit realm.
OK? This is nothing to be afraid of
because we have the reigning spirit.
Greater is he that's in us than he that's in the world.
And the devil himself is defeated under our feet.
We are not intimidated by him or his realm.
He is to submit to our authority.
Okay so then we are not to worship angels.
Then we saw in Revelations 2289 it says I John am the one who
heard and saw these revelations. This is the last book of the
Bible guys, the last chapter. Okay.
He said I heard and saw these things, and when I heard and
saw, I fell down. What did he fall down to do?
To worship at the feet of the Angel who showed me these
things. The revelation that the Lord
Jesus told the Angel to communicate to John when he was
caught up in the Spirit on the Lord's Day.
It was so full of revelate things that had never been seen
or heard or or let's put it this way, unlocked because Daniel and
and Ezekiel, they had some insight and even Jude for that
matter of the time that was to come.
But the Lord in the Daniel's case specifically said seal it
up and wouldn't let him converse about it.
However, John had the ability to open it back up and communicate
more detail. All right, and so when he had
when this information was coming right, he falls down to worship
at this Angel. But the Angel verse nine said to
him, do not do that. Angels will never that are from
God ever let you worship them. If you ever came to me and said
man, there was an Angel came and told me to worship them, then I
would immediately say to you it was demonic.
It was not an Angel. I would say that and I don't
care if you're like, no, I mean, I had an experience.
You can't I'd be like you are entertaining the devil because
this tells me from scripture, which you just Revelation 22.
We can go to Revelations 19 as well.
It literally says and then obviously we just read
Colossians 3 witnesses telling you do not worship angels.
So if an Angel ever if something came as an Angel of light and
say worship me, it is demonic period.
OK, so but he said to him, do not do that.
I am a what, fellow servant of yours, and of your brethren the
prophets. And of those who, who, who, what
is that? The end who whatever verse nine
I'll go over to my own who heed the words of this book worship
God. Sometimes our computer gets
stuck so it's not them falling asleep in the back.
OK, so with that being said, then notice that the Angel said
that I'm a fellow servant of yours and your brethren, which
gives. Us a little.
Insight about what ain't the the duties beyond the clouds that
angels have. Look at Hebrews chapter one,
Hebrews chapter one. There's a whole lot in Hebrews
chapter one actually, but we are going to just stay focused on
these couple verses so we can kind of move through a little
bit tonight. It says this, but to which of
the angels has he ever said? To which of the angels has he
ever said, Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a
footstool for your feet. Verse 14, Are they not all?
Now? Who are all they?
They are. This is the angels.
So verse 14 are talking about the angels.
Are they not all ministering spirits sent out to render
service for the sake of those who are what heirs or who will
inherit salvation? Well, who inherits salvation?
Who inherits salvation? Who can be saved?
We can. So who are they to render
service to us? We do not worship the one who is
rendering service to us. Are you hearing me?
They are waiting to hear the voice of a king.
They are waiting to hear a voice of a king.
Are you hearing me? OK, Which means there's there's.
Things that we can do in conversing in our prayer life
that our angels can hear and begin to respond.
So when it comes to the realm of heaven, and we'll try to dissect
this a little bit more probably in some later days, but I'll lay
a few things out again, The Bible is about a king, his
Kingdom and his royal offspring. All right, and because of that,
God the Father is the King of all.
He is supreme authority, but God the Father as the Godhead,
There's God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
They are three in one. They are the supreme of being
the supreme ruler. They are God.
OK, as a result of that, they then he or God the Father, Son
and Holy Spirit have created a spirit being, have created
spirit beings. We know there are cherubims in
the Bible, seraphims in the Bible, and angels.
They came from God. There's nothing in the Word that
lets us know how. They came into being.
Nothing does it say we do not have that account.
We have the account of ire coming into being and that is he
made man out of the dust of the earth and he what breathed into
his nostrils the breath of life. There is nowhere in scripture
that says God breathe and angels, seraphims, cherubims
existed at this point. There's two ways that things
have come into being. One is God spoke.
He said let there be and there was.
Are you hearing me OK now? There may be an indication based
upon the creation and again it all depends on how you begin to
look at stuff and Genesis, it said in the beginning God
created the heavens and the earth.
OK, well the heavens water in there was that the heavenly host
as well. Now, if you are a believer of
the gap theory, which is there's a gap between Genesis 11 and
Genesis 1-2, and some may be. Here saying, I've never heard
that before. Well, there are some things
within Scripture that may conclude that there was a time
in the existence of heaven on earth that the heavenly host had
an assignment on the earth, and because they failed in that, God
destroyed it. Because in verse two, it talks
about him dealing with some things on the planet.
There's confusion, there's some disorder there that he's got to
make some rearrangements, which would mean then something was in
a order at one point and something has come to bring
disorder. OK.
That's where these conclusions come from.
There are others that have context of a pre Adamic race,
OK. And so there's a lot of context
there. I'm not here to talk about all
that today. We can get to that at some
point, but at the end of the day it's not changing literally what
we already know within Scripture and how to function.
And be ready for the King. Your knowledge of that existence
does not make you better as a believer or walk closer to God
in having that knowledge. So can I say that?
All right. OK, anyway, we know that he says
He created the let there be light.
Then he separated the night from darkness.
OK. And so then we understand what
is light. Well, then you get the sun and
the moon. So what light are we talking
about then? So there's some context there
that maybe the light is heavily beings at that point.
So maybe that's where it was and it was a spoken existence of
these spiritual beings that he spoke into existence.
Are you hearing me? OK, other than that, I cannot
give you an answer. And again, I'm not going to give
you something that I don't know emphatically.
I'm just giving you some things perspectively from Scripture.
What we do know is that these beings do have a will, because
if they did not have a will of their own, how could the morning
star the anointed cherub? How could he rebel from God and
want to have his seat right? How could he do that?
How could a third fall with him? How could that happen?
How could it be that some that left their proper domain,
according to Jude, have been in or in chains right now reserved
for judgment. OK.
Which means they were created by God.
God doesn't create evil. But he talks about this anointed
chair. We call him King James labels
him as Lucifer. We know him as the devil or
Satan. And he fell and he says, you
know, pride was found in you. God didn't put pride there, but
he he he, he started to birth that on his own because he
wanted the lust to be the king of all creation.
He wanted the Creator to worship the created.
All right, so they do have will, which means Michael decided to
stay with the Lord. Gabriel decided and is still
deciding to stay with the Lord. Are you?
Hearing me OK. So, so these beings that are
created, God has created them for us.
So I do not know the time frame because it doesn't tell us if
there is this this fall, there is this fall of Lucifer.
We'll just say that you know, Satan, there is this fall.
We do not are given a time frame.
We do not know how long that existed.
We do not know what that is, but we know that God knows the end
from the beginning, right? And that he, he saw Jesus Christ
slain before the foundations of the world.
So even if the ministering spirits existed, let's say we
could just be hypotheticals, say 100,000 earth years, right?
We're just gonna say million. For that matter.
It doesn't say in the in the prospect of of eternity or in
the concept of eternity. But we know this God always was
planning to make a man in his own image to rule as he rules
and that those beings would be subject to him, meaning they
were to render him service. Because I'll show you this
scripture later on, probably on another day that that Paul says,
don't you know that we will judge angels?
So notice you're going to judge a species of being that God has
created and you've you don't even know if you've seen them or
not. Now you can say, well, how can I
judge someone I've never seen? Well, all you need is the Word
because everything is subject to the Word of God.
All of creation is subject to the Word of God.
You don't have to see all that God's created to know that all
these things are to be submitted to the Word.
So if you know the Word, it makes you a good judge.
I'm not telling you to be judgmental.
I'm just saying you need to understand you're going to be in
a judging position. That's probably not a popular
thing to say right there, right? You know, Oh, don't judge.
Me. OK, I'm not judging you.
Meaning I am not. I am not.
Putting the final sentence that you are going to burn in the
lake of fire, It's not my responsibility, but I can judge
your fruit for the Bible tells me to do so.
The Bible tells me so when I sing that song together, should
we sing that song together? The Bible tells me so that I am
to judge your fruit very much. So those that are considered
Saints. He says judgment first starts in
the household of God. So again he says judge yourself
lest you be judged. Now again, I'm not going around
trying to judge you, but I can examine your fruit to determine
are you lining up with the Word of God and bearing the fruit
that the Holy Spirit would bear? In you if you are following the
leading of the Spirit. Because if you're born of God,
you should produce the fruit of God.
Amen. And what are the fruits,
Lovejoy? I mean, joy, you should not be
walking around depressed. If you're, if you're around a
believer that's depressed, complaining all the time, you
should be like, there's a problem.
And you know what, they'll go, don't judge me.
I'm judging the fact that you're depressed, whining and crying
all the time and there's a fruit in you called joy.
So why are you not accessing it? Because it's not God's problem,
it's your problem. You're hindering it.
Lovejoy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness
and all the big one self. You need some self help?
Then get some control over yourself, 'cause nobody can help
you but the Holy Spirit in you as you yield, 'cause he'll give
you that fruit. Just control.
Yourself. So you don't have to get out of
control, and when you feel like you need to, you're about to get
out of control. Everything's coming against you.
All kinds of stuff are happening.
Amen. Praise the Lord, all the things
are happening right. And all of a sudden you're like,
man, Holy Spirit, just just hand me that fruit.
I'm ready to eat some self-control.
Hallelujah, man. You, you got out of control.
Don't judge me. I'm I mean, you got out of
control. I'm not judging you.
I'm talking about the actions we just saw say Amen anyway.
All right, let me go on. So these are ministering spirits
sent out to render service for the sake of those who will
inherit salvation. Praise the Lord.
All right, what's it say in Psalms 91?
We know Psalms 91, right? Supposed to pray over Psalms 91.
I almost did the whole 91 Psalms.
I almost did a Pastor Marcy. Let's just read them up.
Let's read the whole thing. But I surmised I would get into
some things revelational wise and they would just make the
service longer. Although I did sit in the
longest service I ever set in yesterday, last night, and it
was five hours. Five Started at 7, ended at
midnight. It took me 3 hours to get home.
Oh yeah, nice. And they provided child care.
Yeah, 12115 hundred people were there the whole time.
I was like, impressed. I'm serious.
I was like this. This pastor has conditioned the
people really to wait on the Lord.
Now why do I say that? Because if you want to flow the
spirit, you're going to have to sometimes wait for it.
And the Holy Spirit doesn't say, oh, I got to get down to Anchor
Bay Church. It's almost 12:30.
The Holy Spirit doesn't do that. This is why the Holy Spirit's in
not in a lot of churches because they can't be there on their
time because the Spirit doesn't follow man.
The Spirit is what is who we're supposed to follow.
Amen. Now, I'm not going to tell you
we're going to start doing 5 hour services.
I'm not saying that at all. But I talked to this man and she
said, pastor, people are always saying we're praying for revival
and I want to look at him and say shut up.
Yeah, because they don't know what they're praying for, said.
Revival's ugly, chaotic. It's not on your time frame.
I tell pastors you want revival and you ready for somebody to
rip a hole through your roof and you're going to be all.
Right with that, revival will break certain orders.
Hallelujah. Come on, you want revival, Let
me just tell you, we're not dead #1 anyway, and don't need to be
revived. But you know, we do want to
create an atmosphere that people that want to be revived can come
and actually get fired up. Hallelujah.
Because I'm telling you, they're looking for the supernatural.
They want the move of the spirit.
And we cannot put him in a time box 'cause he doesn't live
there. Hallelujah.
Amen. So.
Three AMI roll in and here I am tonight.
Glory to glory to God. God's good.
Amen. I saw kids walking out at
midnight from the children and we're like they're going to
school tomorrow. Or maybe not, I don't know.
Maybe they're maybe their stuff's done well.
I mean, it's the last day for us.
It may not have been. They may have gone to school.
All right, verse 9 Psalms 91 verse 9 through 12 for you have
made the Lord my refuge, even the most high your dwelling
place. Interesting.
I just heard the Lord say tell them I'm coming in the spirit
because I am perfecting my bride.
I am coming back for the church without spot or wrinkle, and
those who want to be in my presence will be because that's
who will only be with me in eternity anyway.
Those moves are intentional to separate the sheep from the
goat, Hallelujah. So you need to determine you're
going to be a sheep and not a goat, Hallelujah.
Amen. Because man, in the last, the
last days, I believe the sheep are going to be so hungry.
Like, man, I got to get the service.
I, there's so much chaos. I got to I need to be among my
brethren. I need they're going to be
pastor. Let's do more service.
Let's get together. We don't have time to be
watching movies on the week because man, people are falling
left and right. Demonic spirits are happening.
I mean, things are going on. We got to stay tight.
See, you got to understand in certain countries right now,
they have to actually have those kinds of existence because of
the oppression that's happening in those countries.
But we've become so comfortable here, but the Lord don't care
about our nation and our system. He only cares about his Kingdom.
Amen. Hallelujah.
Now there's going to be a lot of people say, well, you're not
going to grow a church that way. It will grow his church that.
Way we will grow his church that way.
And man, his church is powerful. You don't have to have a lot of
numbers, although it can have numbers.
All right. Four, verse 9.
Thank you, Lord, you have made the Lord my refuge, even the
Most High, your dwelling place. No evil say, no evil will befall
me, nor will any plague come near your tent.
Why? Verse 11, four, Why will these
things happen? First of all, you have made the
Lord your refuge. I mean, there's, there's some
qualifications in this thing. This is not just covenant,
right? You have a right based upon
covenant, but you still have to be in a qualifying position,
meaning you're not hanging out in the devil's playground and
expecting the angels to be with you in those environments
because you're willfully entertaining and hanging out
with them. OK, so no evil will fall, you
know, nor will any play come near your tent.
For he will keep give his angels what charge concerning you to
guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their
hands that you do not strike your foot against the stone.
And let me tell you something, the devil knows that that's a
true statement. The devil knows that those two
verses are a true statement. So much so he used those
scriptures with Jesus in the temptation.
When Jesus started saying it is written, he said I know some
things from. From from your prophets, I know
some things from that that God has said to them.
So let me take some things they've said.
Because he loves to know what God says, so he can pervert.
It manipulate it, turn it so that it takes it out of context,
and then you begin to use the scripture for your own
advantage. And that's what he wanted Jesus
to do. Well, use this scripture to your
own advantage. Throw yourself off.
That's why Jesus, it is also written, You shall not test the
Lord thy God. Are you hearing me?
Amen. But you said he'll give charge
of his angels concerning you. He'll give what charge of his
angels concerning you. So angels are there again to
take. Care of us, minister to us, that
is to render services to us. So that in everything that we're
doing, they are there to help. In essence, we could say it this
way. The angels are our Secret
Service. Now, when the president of the
United States is going somewhere, that is a lot of
money. That is not like you.
You run into Walmart. When the president's going
somewhere, especially if he's staying somewhere for quite some
time, that means there is a team of Secret Service that goes
ahead of the president. If he's staying in a particular
hotel, they will be there days ahead.
They will go through that hotel, they'll go through every room.
They will examine everything. They will make sure nothing's in
there that would so no harm would befall the president.
They'll camp out. If he's going to bring his
motorcade, they will have ran the route, they will have
cleared the streets. They will move things around.
Are you hearing me? This is what the Secret Service
does. Well, we have angels that do
these things. That's what they do.
And here's the thing, you need to know where you're going and
then you need to send them. Are you hearing me?
Now? There are some things they're
doing on their own, but they, if you'll get involved with them
and we'll talk about it more probably next week is that they
will. They will.
They're waiting for the voice of the King to give them a.
Command, are you hearing me? Can I jump ahead just for the
sake of jumping ahead with a thought?
There's a great indication that angels have a part of the
weather system when it comes to winds blowing in scripture that
the Lord can use them to change weathering patterns.
Hallelujah. OK, when I saw this I began to
do this when I fly. Ministers, Spirits, I want you
to go ahead of this plane and I thank you that we'll have no
rough air. And to date I have had very
little turbulence. And if something does happen, I
usually invoke this word immediately in the name of
Jesus. Peace be still because I've
already given charge over this plane for the sake of the gospel
of the Kingdom. I just commandeered the whole
vessel because I am an ambassador for the King and this
is the mode of transportation by which I am doing king business.
So now I I, I invoke and I'm going to show you something here
in a minute that shows that invoke protection over the whole
thing. But I send them.
And since I've done that, I could probably count on one hand
some disturbances, but they did not last more than 5 minutes.
Did not. And that is not coincidence by
faith, because I know they do work.
I mean, God loves you way more than you think.
He has empowered us more than you even really know.
Are you hearing me? So he's given charge of his
angels concerning us. God cares so much about us in
the earth that he gave us Secret Service.
What's it say in Psalms 37? Seven?
Hallelujah. Says the Angel.
Of the Lord encamps around those who and.
And and rescues them. Wow.
So the Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him.
Now notice does angels of the Lord encamp around anybody?
Who do they encamp around? So it would be really good for
you to have a healthy diet of the fear of the Lord, of
reverential honor, awe of our King that we want to represent
him at the highest level. And when you fear him, then he,
his angels encamp around you and you know what they'll do?
They will rescue you. I said they'll rescue you.
Hallelujah, glory to his name. So let's talk about some of the
protection. We're going to see some things
here in the Bible. I'm primarily I'm, you know,
I've been kind of working some of them.
I'm working in the New Testament just because you need to
understand that although we are born again, we have the Spirit
of God within us, bearing witness with our spirit with
children of God. And then we have the Holy
Spirit, because you have. Need.
You have need for the Holy Spirit to come upon you.
If you weren't here Sunday. You need to listen to that
message when it comes out tomorrow.
You have need OK to be baptized in the Holy Ghost when the Holy
Spirit comes upon you. And that is our Direct Line to
God. It is the number one way God is
communicating to us by His Spirit, to our spirit in our
inner man. It will be a still small voice.
And what will it sound like? It will sound like Scripture.
That's why you need to know the Word.
Now what do I mean by that? It will always be in line with
scripture. He would never give you
something that would be outside of it.
That doesn't mean he's quoting scripture.
I'm just saying when he says something to.
You you know that it's in context, scripturally.
Case in point, a guy could, you know, be in this position where
it's not good for man to be alone.
Lord, I know you're going to bring a wife to me and then
there's someone that comes along and the Lord, you know, gives
you an impression. This is going to be your spouse.
Now that's only right if he's told that other person and they
agreed that it's never only one sided conversation.
Are you hearing me 'cause you cannot manipulate someone to be
your spouse Just 'cause you said thus saith the Lord?
If it's really thus, saith the Lord, then let the guy talk.
To him, don't you get involved? Are you hearing me?
Let me say, let me tell you what he wouldn't say.
You know, I want you to, I want you to marry this person who's
already married to this person and see if they can get a
divorce. He would never say that.
So you're less than or coveting another man's wife and you're
act like the Lord's telling you that they're going to be yours.
No. OK, so there's a case in point.
All right, go ahead and steal that.
You deserve it anyway because you know you know you've been
taking advantage of your whole life.
The Spirit of God would never say that.
Are you hearing me OK? So he'll speak that way.
But in this new covenant, angels still converse with those that
are actually believers full of the Holy Ghost, and he and
angels can converse with the lost still in this dispensation.
So let's talk about his protection.
Look at this in Acts Chapter 5. Acts chapter 5.
We'll see this. These are duties beyond the
clouds, OK, 'cause there are duties that they're doing in the
clouds, are in the realm of heaven, okay, but there are
duties they do here on the earth.
And it says, but the high priest rose up along with all his
associates, that is the sect of the Sadducees, and they were
filled with jealousy. They laid hands on The Who
Apostles, all of them on the apostles and put them in a what?
Public jail. So everybody knows the apostles
went to jail that day. So all the naysayers are like,
see, I told you now I'm telling you.
If it was today, it would be all over social media.
Pastor, Pastor Earl's in jail. Well, I'm only in jail because
the Sadducees are jealous because they are sad.
Right. During religious people are sad,
you see, OK, but during the night, but during the night?
So they're in public jail, right?
See, here's the problem. We think, we think no challenge
comes if they'll always protect us.
But you understand, we have Secret Service 'cause sometimes
the Lord likes to show off. Now I say that in a positive
way. What do I mean by that?
Is God will let his enemy know. You can't overcome me.
You cannot put my people in such a position that I cannot take
care of this period. So they get thrown in jail,
right? And said during the night, what
happens? An Angel of the Lord open the
gates of the prison, taking them outside.
He said So the Angel talks to them and says to all the
disciples, which at this point is going to be 12 because
they've replaced Judas and says, now go stand and speak to the
people in the temple. The whole message of this life.
In essence, I'm breaking you out of jail.
They, they, they forget about post and bail.
I mean, this is jailbreak, you understand, this is where God
was with that government system broke them out of jail and then
they find they come to see them the next day, they can't find
them. Then they come to find out they
in church preaching. Guess what they didn't do?
Run out of town, run for their lives.
But the Delta team, you know, the Navy Seals of God, showed up
and broke them out. And really, they just sent one.
Yeah, go get them. Acts Chapter 12 versus 6 through
10 on the On the very night when hair was about to bring forward,
Peter was sleeping between two soldiers bound with two chains,
and guards in front of the door were watching over the prison.
Now you know why they change him like this.
This is why we need to read Bible context in the 5th
chapter. Previously they have arrested
Peter and the other 11 and they had a jailbreak.
This time they're like you they going we going to chain them to
you. Ain't nobody getting out.
This is called heightened security.
So Peter went from the county jail in the maximum security
technically on death row. Are you hearing me?
I mean, that's going from Saint Johns County over to Rayford on
death row. Now we putting this boy on
solitary confinement lockdown with with one of those guys
guards, you know, prison guards chained to demand.
All right, And behold, and the guards were in front of the
door, were watching over the prison.
So he's bound between two soldiers.
And then another guy is standing outside the door.
And behold, an Angel of the Lord suddenly appeared and a light
shone in the cell. My Mama.
And he struck Peter's side and woke him up saying, get up
quickly. It's not like Peter has not
experienced an Angel jailbreak before, but he is so at peace
and has gone off into La La land sleeping that he doesn't even
realize that this is a event. Could it be?
Which makes sense then why Peter might have thought he was
dreaming about an something that happened, you know, earlier?
And the Angel said to him, gird yourself, put on your sandals.
And so. And he did so and said to him,
wrap your cloak around you and follow me.
And he went out and continue to follow and he did not know that
he was being what was being done by the Angel was real, but
thought he was seeing a vision. And when he had passed the 1st
and 2nd guard. So we've gotten out from between
two guards past the first one we've announced to the 4th one.
You understand we're 4 guards out.
They came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which
opened from the for them by itself, this is pretty amazing
stuff. I mean, our angels do not have
to blow doors open. They don't have to pick locks.
And they went out and went along one street and immediately the
Angel departed from him. Then obviously at that point,
Peter realizes, man, he broke me out again.
Wow. You know, has anybody else been
broke out of jail by an Angel twice?
I think I nobody has. I'm the guy, right?
And then he goes knocking on the door.
Hey, let me in, let me in. Cause technically I'm what they
call a fugitive. Right, so here's here is Lord's
protection. Now if we go back to the old
covenant, we can see this as well multiple, I mean, I'm just
giving you 2 examples of the new covenant.
But again, member Elijah. And his servant says, man, we
got some people got some trouble out here.
They surround the city. You know what we going to do?
He said, Lord, open his eyes, man.
He said, man, there's more for us than there are for them.
Why 'cause a special for I mean, there was a whole detachment of
God's army that has shown up in on the mountains and they're all
encamped and they have their weapons, they have their
Chariots, they're ready. For war, they're like, I dare
them to come get you. Amen.
I dare them to come get you. I dare them.
All right. Praise the Lord.
OK, What else will angels do? They bring provision.
They can bring provision. Now I'm going to start over here
in the Old Testament because we've got to lay some groundwork
in order to determine so that we can see is highly plausible.
This has happened in the New Testament, although it doesn't
directly say it. First Kings chapter 19 verses
one through 8 says Now Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had
done, and how he had killed all the prophets with a sword.
Then Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah, saying, So may the gods
do to me, and even more if I do not make your life as the life
of one of them by tomorrow. About this time, because you
know he killed all the prophets of Bell.
And he was afraid, and arose and ran for for his life, and came
to Beersheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servants
there. But he was beside himself when
he went a day's journey into the wilderness was.
But he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and
came and sat down under juniper tree.
And he requested for himself that he might die, and said it
is enough now, Oh Lord, take my life, for I am not better than
my father's. He laid down and slept under a
juniper tree, and behold there was an Angel touching him.
And he said, arise, eat. Now he sits down at the tree,
there's no food, goes to sleep. The Angel wakes him up and says,
now eat Well, who brought him the food?
Then he looked, and behold, there was at his head a bread
cake baked on hot stones, and a jar of water.
So he ate and drank and laid down again.
The Angel Lord came again a second time, touched him, and
said, Arise, eat, because the journey is too great for you.
And he rose and ate and drank so, which means he fed him
again. And he went in the strength of
that food, 40 days and 40 nights to the mountain of God.
So an Angel. Basically was an Uber driver for
the Lord, right? Showed up with food.
Now, maybe you didn't realize this, but where do you think
manna came from? Where did manna come from?
Yeah, it came from heaven. Look at Psalm 78, verse 23.
Look at this Psalm 78 verse 20. Yet he commanded the clouds
above and opened the doors of heaven.
He rained down manna upon them to eat and gave them food from
heaven. Man did eat what?
The bread of angels. So with Elijah, the Angel
brought the food to him. Indication is based upon manna
that rained down. Basically, angels could have in
the spirit not seen, could have come down like waiters 'cause
number, you know, there was so much mana all over the place.
Well, you understand there is a myriad of angels that the King
of Kings could have said, all right, here, get the bread.
Come on now, get the bread. It's time to go serve the people
this morning, right. I want you to all go down there
and lay it on the table, which happened to be the floor.
And here they are district. You don't see it because they're
here to render service for us. Well, if angels can bring food,
here's Jesus in Matthew chapter four.
He is hungry for 40 days being tempted of the devil.
In fact, the scripture says he was very hungry.
Then in verse 11 said then the devil left him and behold,
angels came and began to what ministered him.
That word minister was to provide for his need.
What do you think Jesus's immediate need was after the
temptation? So it's put a good indication
that the angels didn't just minister to Jesus by giving him
a foot massage. I'm not saying they gave him a
foot massage, I'm just saying most likely they brought him a
substance because the King of Kings, just like us, are not
limited even to the resources that are here in the earth.
Now, again, we got to get this in our mind and that is this.
There are physically tangible things in heaven.
Again, I was thinking about this today because I feel like it's
just like, wow. So the Lord's coming with his
army, the Saints, and he's going to be riding a White Horse.
Now John saw that in the Lord's Day.
Well, you know, in my mind, I'm like, man, I mean, with all the
technology, is he really going to be on a thoroughbred?
I mean, or is this a steel horse?
I mean our hovercraft type thing that was white.
And it just reminded John of a horse that we all come back in
some like flying saucer looking. Things I'm not trying to say we
are. I just find it interesting with
all the technology, he going to show up with a horse.
And if it is a literal horse, that means it literally is in
heaven, alive, breathing. Well, if there's horses up there
and there's the marriage supper of the lamb up there, what are
we going to eat? Air.
Have you ever seen the movie? Hook with?
What was that guy's name? Robin Williams, Remember, they
needed him to imagine at the table and everybody's jumping
out, eating. He's like, I'm starving to
death, right? I'd love that one.
That was a great little illustration there, right?
Because you had to have, it's like faith, like a child man.
And there he is. And he's like that.
He goes and then all of a sudden they're like.
You're doing it, Peter. You're doing it right.
And then all of a sudden, he saw all the food.
It was there the whole time. He just had to bring it from the
unseen into the. Oh y'all over here?
OK, and again, the Lord can bring, we are literally not
limited to actual earth things because angels can bring things
from all right, last one is this instruction for tonight talking
about angels because they have duties beyond the cloud.
Are you hearing me now? Again, I'm going to give you
some New Testament ones. We definitely can show tons of
these in the Old Testament, but he does this even in the New
Testament. And I'm going to start with Acts
27. In Acts 27, verse 21 to 25, Paul
is on a boat. He does not want to be on this
boat, but he has no choice but to be on the boat because he's
not free. He's actually a prisoner.
As a result of being a prisoner, although he has warned them on
the shore. So again God will give charge of
his angels what to to to protect you so that no harm will befall
you. However you may be in
circumstances of life that you can't dictate your actions
because someone else is, but yet even in that God will can still
protect you, although it may take you into some places that
are perceivably harmful. Now they harmful, but yet
because of your protection, you'll be at overcome.
So Paul on the shore says, gentlemen, I perceive that if we
get in this boat, we're going to have a problem.
There's going to be a storm. We're going to run into the
storm. It's going to cost us, you know,
our cargo, the ship and possibly our lives, guys.
But they're like, we're not listening to you.
You're not the expert. We're going with the experts.
Throw him on the boat. The minute he gets on the boat,
he's like Lord, and he's talking to the Lord because he knows I
warned him. Now, I would maybe conclude that
Paul was like, I warned him, Lord, protect me.
The storm comes. He's like man, man.
Here it is. Can't get the storm to stop.
The Lord actually warned me. This is why he can't say peace
be still, because the Lord's already warned him it's coming
and they didn't heed, so they're going to get the storm.
There would be no peace be still or a necessity of peace be still
if they would have just listened on the shore.
So sometimes you get some storms of life because you didn't do
what you need to do on the shore.
Now that's the Holy Ghost talking to you right now.
That's just not my preaching. But sometimes we're in storms of
life you cannot get settled. Because he told you on the shore
not to get there in the 1st place.
Now he will deliver you out of the storm.
But you're not going to be able to say peace be still.
You're going to have to ride the storm and find the answer
through the. Storm all right, with that being
said, here we go. He's in this moment and he says
this. And when he had gone a long time
without food, Paul stood in the midst in their midst and said, I
love this. This like one of my awesome
favorite verses men. You ought to have followed my
advice and not have set sail from Crete and incurred this
damage and loss. Yet now I urge you to keep up
your curse. Now this is Paul who has wrote,
I pray in the Spirit more than you all.
He's born again, filled with the Holy Ghost, wrote over half of
the New Testament, hears the Spirit of God very clearly and
says this, OK, I urge you to keep up your curse for there
will be no loss of life among you, but only the ship for this
very night. What he didn't say the Holy
Ghost, although he has the Holy Ghost.
He had the Holy Ghost give him the inward witness on the shore,
not to get in the boat. But now an Angel delivers the
message to the new covenant man, and says to him to whom I
belong, the Angel of God, to whom I belong and whom I served,
stood before me. Which means he manifested
himself and nobody else saw him. And what did he say to Paul?
Do not be afraid, which these are the two things Paul was
praying. The first thing Paul was praying
is he was reminding God of his word that the Lord said to him,
you would stand before Caesar. And he's telling him, how can I
die in this storm and fulfill your word that you said I would
stand before Caesar. So you have to save my life.
It wasn't begging him to save his life.
He's telling him you have to keep your word, O King, and the
Lord has no problem when you state your case and bring his
word back to him. That is not offensive.
He wants you to say I have a legal right under your authority
for this word to come to pass. You're the king, and your word
never returns unto you, Boyd. It's always accomplished.
And you said I would stand before Caesar.
Cannot do it if I die out here in the deep.
So he says you must stand before Caesar.
So he answered that one. Secondly, behold, God has what
granted, which means he was saying now, Lord, I told him on
the shore not to get here and all these people, which was 276
people total. This is why I can get into a
plane and begin to make a request from the King for the
safety of everyone in the vessel I'm traveling.
He has granted you all those who are sailing with you.
Therefore verse 25. Keep up your courage men, For I
believe he's not asking them to believe, He said.
For I believe God that it will what turn out exactly as I have
been. Who told him?
The Angel gave him instructions. I said.
The angels gave him instructions.
Are you hearing me? So if the King of Glory needs
you to have an encounter with one of His beings, His angels,
that He's given charge concerning you so that you are
crystal clear in the steps than the things you need to know and
do, He will do that. You do not need an Angel to give
you instruction every time. You should not seek angels to
give you instruction every time. He was actually not seeking an
Angel to get instruction. He was seeking the Lord and the
Lord. Chose to send an Angel that he
saw and he knew it was one. Are you hearing me OK?
Acts chapter 10 is the last one tonight as an example, and I
want to close with this one because this is really powerful,
says now there was a man at Caesarea named Cornelius, a
centurion from what was called the Italian cohort, a devout
man, one who feared God with all of his household and gave many
alms to the Jewish people and prayed to God continually.
About the 9th hour of the day, he clearly saw in a vision an
Angel of God who had just come in and said to him, Cornelius,
he's given instruction and fixing his gaze on him and being
much alarmed, he said, What is it, Lord?
Now obviously this is not the Lord, this is an Angel, but he
knows this is a supreme being. This is not of this realm.
And because Cornelius is not born again, he wants to submit
to that realm and he recognizes his authority.
And he says to him, Your prayers and alms have ascended as a
memorial before God now dispatched some men to Joppa and
sinned for a man named Simon, who has also called Peter.
He is staying with a Tanner named Simon, whose house is by
the sea. Now why is he doing this?
Because the Angel currently in this dispensation prior to the
catching away of the church cannot.
Preach. The Gospel.
So you could never come and say man, someone told me about
Jesus. It was an Angel.
An Angel would not tell you that about the death, burial,
resurrection of Jesus Christ. It is not their assignment.
But an Angel would tell you someone who can.
An Angel would tell you someone who can in this current
dispensation prior to the catching away of the church.
OK, so with that being said, he does exactly the instruction of
the Angel. Peter does show up.
He preaches the gospel. Cornelius is saved.
Not only is he saved, he's baptized in the Holy Ghost.
What evidence is speaking in tongues him and his whole
household. Are you hearing what I'm saying?
Which tells us this angels desire for those who are seeking
the Lord to find him. And we'll give instruction to
you on who carries the message so that you can come into His
Kingdom. And with that being said, the
Lord still wants you in the Kingdom today.
Amen.
