The Purpose of Angels

I believe angels are still very significant today. In everyday life without knowing we have angels warring on our behalf and saving us from hurt, harm, and danger. As mentioned in our Course worksheet, Angels are not equal to GOD and do not rule over man. We as the church are now seated in heavenly places with CHRIST JESUS (Ephesians 2:6). GOD has given us authority and power over the enemy. The church has been and still is waging war with the enemy. We need the angels to give us instructions and warning so that we can be prepared for what's to come. 1 Peter 5:8 tells us satan walks about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour and that's why we need angels. They war against the enemy even when we can't see. Ephesians 6:12 reminds us that we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against rulers of darkness, spiritual wickedness in high places. Just as spiritual wickedness is in high places. Angels are our help. Throughout scripture angels were sent to help men and women of GOD accomplish their purpose and assignments. Dr. Lamai mentioned as ministers of the gospel we have to understand the ministry of angels because it's a large part of our ministry here on earth. The first ministry of the angels is to every man born into the world is to see to it that they help them and guide them and lead them to places and to people that will be able to minister salvation to them where they can receive their inheritance called salvation. (Dr, Lamai). We are heirs of salvation who have a right to inherit salvation through CHRIST. This is why the ministry of angels is so important to the church.
Throughout scripture the presence of angels is mentioned in both the old and New Testament. Dr. Lamai pointed out in the Ministry of Angels video the word angel is mentioned more than 280 times and 7 times it refers to angels as humans. As Dr. Riley mentioned, when we see the word angel listed, we must know who the text is referring to so that we may know who GOD was speaking of in the text. In the book of Revelations chapter 2 and 3 the angel of the churches in that particular text referred to the pastors or leaders of the churches. The word angel means Messenger. Angels are sent of GOD to deliver messages and perform a certain task from their master. According to their assignment from GOD angels can be assigned to communicate with man, give instructions, release us from bondage and captivity, war on our behalf and bring execution to GOD's judgement. Angels serve many great purposes in the life of the Believer. They are assigned to carry out GOD's duties in the earth. Psalm 91 tells us the Father gave angels charge over us to keep us in all of our ways. They anxiously wait to perform GOD's word and anything that goes against HIS word will hinder their move.

We as the church must make sure we are praying the will of GOD according to HIS word. Psalm 103:1 tells us they are sent to do GOD's pleasure. Angels 'duty is to carry out the will of GOD. Angels are on the earth to assist the Believers as the LORD wills. Believers and Leaders in the church must understand the importance of the purpose of angels and why we need them. They are assigned to be our helpers and personal aides that help us navigate through life and ministry. In the book of Revelation messengers were sent to the messengers of the churches. These were GOD's leaders in the church (Sent Ones) who were called to spread the gospel. Our hearts desire as the church should also be to seek GOD's will for HIS people. If our hearts and minds are towards the Father, we will fall in alignment with HIS will and plan for our lives. As HIS messengers and sent ones in the earth, we should walk in holiness so that we can carry out GOD's will. As Dr. Lamai mentioned, If angels are holy as messengers of GOD, then pastors of churches and leaders of churches ought to also be holy as messengers of GOD.

Star, you have made so many great declarations about the purpose of Angels. What is so important is being Holy as God is Holy. This is a mandate from God the Father according to 1 Peter 1:15-16(KJV) But as he which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation; Because it is written, Be ye holy; for I am holy. Being in the image of God and speaking the word of God will cause our Angels to hearken unto our voice because our voice becomes the voice of God. We must keep our hearts and minds towards the Father in full alignment with God's word and will so when we decree and declare God's word in Jesus Name people will be saved, healed and delivered.
