God Sends His Holy Angels to Protect Us
by Pastor Gary Boyd

Through the years as I have learned more & more about God's protection, I have become very angel conscious. I believe all Christians should be aware of God's protective power available to them in the heavenlies.

269 Appearances of Angels in Scripture

Scriptue accounts show that God's holy angels appeared to Hagar, Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Joshua, David, Elijah, Daniel, Zechariah, Mary, and Joseph, just to name a few.

The fact of the matter is Zechariah has seven angels appear to him not just one. Paul, in fact, saw multitudes of angels. They literally exploded on the scene in the book of Acts after Pentecost and again during the time of Revelation.

Angels Watching Over Us

God says he assigns angels to watch over us. Do you realize angels are watching you right now, that they watch you all the time?

Do you really comprehend the power of God's angels? Michael the archangel lead the war that cast Satan out of heaven making him and his minions that followed him fallen angels.

There are two parts to Satan's job description on earth:

To destroy faith... whose minds the god of this age (Satan) has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the Gospel of the glory ofr Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them (2nd Corinthians 4:4).
To corrupt order... Satan and his demons are out to corrupt our resources and our moral and divine order: order in our businesses, families, relationships, and finances. Satan is disharmony whose very name means destroyer.
The angels of God have a job description too to do battle for God's people! Angels, however, cannot intervene for you if you do not believe. The ministry of angels is something you must receive. If you walk in disbelief, you will grieve God and his holy angels as well.

Their Assignment

Angels are on assignment, angels who were sent from God, mighty supernatural beings who are warring and battling on our behalf as they did for Jesus.

In Psalms 91:11 it says, For he will give his angels special charge over you, to accompany & defend you & preserve you in all your ways of obedience and service. Notice carefully, that our ways must be of obedience and service to God.

The Warrior & the Messenger

We see Michael, the archangel, warring in Daniel 10 when he came to strengthen Daniel. Then in Jude 1:9 we see him contending for the body of Moses and fighting demons.

The Bible describes Gabriel as the good news angel and tells how he came to Daniel as a messenger to help him understand the vision God had given to him. (Daniel 8:15).

What Can Angels Do?

Angels can do all kinds of things. They can eat, or they can go without food, they can be visible or invisible. They can travel faster than the speed of light and no one can calculate how fast they travel.

Angels are organized into principalities and rulerships. In Ephesians we find that principalities and powers of the air were ruling over cities, but God's holy angels do also. Holy angels are organized over every city ready to do battle for the children of God whom we must utilize when needed.

We Rule Over Them

Scripture says we are going to judge angels; in the Hebrew, judging them means to make a legal decision . In other words, we will rule over them. Angels then are on assignment for us, God's children. They then are our associates!

You may have 72 angels or you may have twelve legions or 7,200, and you will be giving them assignments throughout eternity. You will be sending angels everywhere to do everything! Angels do no rest and they cannot be numbered! God's word says, Ten thousands and thousands of thousands .

Angels drive spirit horses who will guard our gates. Scripture tells about our authority and power in God. If you establish the kingdom of God on earth, if you establish holy fortresses, cities of jubilee, a Holy Spirit kingdom that is unshakeable, angels will guard it.

Your Prayer Life

Build the protection of God through your prayer life, through your prayers & visions, and establish fortesses where the unsaved can flee and over which angels stand guard. They wage war. They execute judgment and minister to the saints. They rule nations and help individuals.

They sing praises and worship God. They direct preachers. They appear in dreams and bind Satan and his demons. I truly do love this part, they escort believers into heaven! The first thing you will see before you see the face of Jesus is your angel.

God says in scripture that angels rejoice; Luke 15:7 says that, when they see the salvation of just one sinner, they rejoice. They shout for joy!

Psalm 34:7 says, The angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear him, and deliver them .

Do what God has said then; call on your God to send your angels to protect you at any time; this is your right and your duty when you are in danger. When you walk in the light of God they are your army, it is your right as a Christian to use them.

I believe I met a true angel 20 years ago on the morning I gave birth to my youngest son. We were on the way to the hospital on the freeway and about a mile or so ahead (uphill), in oncoming traffic, a wheel came off of a truck, jumped the median and by the time we realized what it was, we were unable to avoid it (we must have changed lanes 3 or four times to avoid it, but I swear it kept tracking us). By the time it was in front of us, my husband got as close to the median wall as he possibly could and the wheel clipped our car, sending the side view mirror through the passenger window and hitting my face with such force that it ended up in the cargo area of our Explorer. As soon as my husband pulled off on the side of the freeway, a man appeared (a construction worker) and seeing my cut and bloody face he ripped off his t-shirt, dunked it in his cooler of ice water and put it to my face. He kept me calm while my husband dealt with calling 911 and then the CHP (this was in CA) and as soon as the ambulance arrived, he was gone...we never got a chance to thank him. He never told us his name and neither of us could even remember what he looked like. Now, I have been broken down on the side of the road many times in my 57 years and watched cars zip by for hours waiting for someone to stop and they never do, but this ONE time, within seconds of pulling off the highway, this man appears with exactly what I need...I have to believe he was an angel sent by God.
