We celebrated our 30th Anniversary as a church yesterday at The Spoken Word Church with a new series by Pastor Bill Novak called "Angels"! I want to share something very simple, but also very profound if you have never thought about it before! Did YOU know that angels do NOT have wings? At least NOT those who operate on the earth! How do we know? Look at Hebrews 13:2:
2 Don't forget to show hospitality to strangers, for some who have done this have entertained angels without realizing it! New Living Translation
There is NO WAY that we could be "unaware" of an angel with wings! So many people try to get some comfort from a figure or picture of an angelic being with wings and a very serene face! Angels are strong, powerful, fierce and they move at the Word of God! A figurine has NO power whatsoever! BUT, speaking the Word into a situation will bring the Angels of God on the scene EVERY TIME! Look at Hebrews 1:13-14:
13 Besides, to which of the angels has He ever said, Sit at My right hand [associated with Me in My royal dignity] till I make your enemies a stool for your feet? [Ps 110:1.] 14 Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation? AMP
How about the promise in Luke 4:10-11:
10 For it is written, He will give His angels charge over you to guard and watch over you closely and carefully; 11 And on their hands they will bear you up, lest you strike your foot against a stone. AMP
Powerful! The new teaching series will be up on The Spoken Word Church website soon! Check it out and follow the study for yourself! You will be tremendously blessed and have the opportunity to grow stronger in the Word of God! Amen! Here is Hillsong with "His Glory Appears":
His Glory Appears Lyrics
Verse:
You gave me hope
You made me whole
At the cross
You took my place
You showed me grace
At the cross where You died for me
Chorus:
And His glory appears
Like the light from the sun
Age to age He shines
Look to the skies
Hear the angels cry
Singing Holy is the Lord
Shalom in Him!
