Duties Beyond the Clouds - A Study of Angels

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

Hebrews 13 · chapter mention

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.

Colossians 2:18

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

Psalms 91:9–12

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.

Acts 5 · chapter mention Acts 5 · chapter mention

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

Acts 12 · chapter mention

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

1 Kings 19 · chapter mention

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.

Psalms 78:23

Look at this Psalm 78 verse 20. Yet he commanded the clouds

Psalms 78:20

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

Acts 27:21–25

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

Acts 10 · chapter mention

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.
