Ps 34:7The [a]angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him, And delivers them.
I am so thankful for this passage. I am most of all thankful for the Blood of Jesus Christ that positions those who have repented of their sin and put their faith in him as His children.
As His children we have many benefits. The greatest benefit being eternal life. But there are other benefits that we have as His children working out our salvation with fear and trembling. As His servants being used here on earth to advance His kingdom.
One that I want to just briefly mention here is the protection that God has provided us through His angels. The Bible tells us that they assist us in Kingdom work. Heb 1: 14 Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?
Today I had a situation while I was driving that I know that it was god’s protection using his angels to prevent something harmful from happening to me and/or another driver. There are too many times to list here that I know that the Lord has used His angels to protect me, or others that were either with me, or near me.
In the verse at the top it says that the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them. In this case a fear of the Lord is an awe of the Lord and a reverence of the Lord.
I also believe that the amount of angelic activity going on around us is connected to a life of prayer. It also I believe is connected to praying the word of God and believing it. In Psalm 103:20 we see how scripture points this out. “Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.” When we praise Him we are not manipulating God, but action is taking place in the spirit realm. When we pray the word and declare the word from a heart in tune to the Holy Spirit angelic activity is taking place.
Everyday
as a part of my spiritual discipline I pray and declare Psalm 91 over me, my
family, and others that the Holy Spirit brings by me. These three verses
pertain to the angelic help that God disperses on our behalf: Psalm 91:11-13 For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways.1 In their hands
they shall [c]bear you up, Lest you [d]dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion
and the cobra ,The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. I encourage you to make praying and declaring Psalm 91 as a
vital part of your journey with the Lord Jesus Christ. When we do, we have protection
against the demonic assignments that will try to harm us physically, emotionally,
and spiritually. These demonic assignments are meant to hinder us from
advancing the Kingdom of God as well as experiencing life and life more
abundantly.
So today be sure that you are worshipping the Lord Jesus Christ. Believe and stand on His word. Have a consistent prayer life and trust that God has His angels encamped around you.
Let Us Pray
Lord Jesus we worship you. We thank You for the gift of eternal life. We also give you praise that You are protecting us. We thank You for every benefit that You have bestowed on Your children. We give You all the praise, and honor and glory that is due Your Holy Name
In Jesus Name
Amen
