Angels on Assignment

[Heart2Soul]

Angels is a subject that isn't taught on much in church but God has given angels assignments and they are to do His Will towards us in that particular assignment.

We will judge angels, and a revelation that came to me years ago was that we will judge OUR angels assigned to us. Many believe this refers to judging the fallen angels but why would we judge them their fate is already sealed. What I saw in a vision was my angels...who were assigned to me at my birth, were given instructions by my Father to guard, minister, battle, and strengthen. Angels were used numerous times in scripture to deliver messages, supply food for strength, to battle the enemy....and to provide protection.

Excerpt from link above:
Angels are a part of the Kingdom of heaven. As Kingdom warriors, we can expect to experience angelic activity to be an integral part of the Kingdom life of every Christian. We are now living in the last days where everything is being accelerated. Walking close with God and working with angels is a required mandate for those that desire to be part of the move of God that is now taking place on earth.

Jesus prayer is for “Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Mt. 6:10). That which takes place in heaven is also to take place on earth. Because angels do the will of God they are enlisted to help the Church establish His Kingdom on earth as it is in heaven. In God’s Kingdom, there is no illness, sickness, demonic activity or disease. Angels are on assignment to assist you! The apostle Paul understood this relationship between the Church and angels declaring, “Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? (He. 1:14).

Years ago I had a messenger angel appear to me and said "I am sent to tell you to stop straddling the fence, choose you this day whom you will serve"....I was in the world at that time partying with my friends and just living the "life"(not)….and this angel appeared to me at 2 am after the club had closed and I was heading back to the car. Long story and will share someday.

Not long ago the Holy Spirit showed me that God has ordered the angels to come here and battle and minister and that we will begin to hear testimonies of angels appearing to people, like they did in the Bible.

Then I heard Him say....Assign your angel to do what God has instructed them to do in your life....okay...so I began to tell my angels....Do the Will of my Father as He has instructed you to do and guard me, minister to me, strengthen me and encourage me.

Well I have put my angels on assignment.

This is something I never have thought about. Thank you Heart2Soul

but you cannot find any analogue of this in Scripture, so i am compelled to challenge this "Then I heard Him say" wadr.
Iow can you Quote any "Assign your angel" from the Book? ty

I won't even look because this was a personal testimony of what God spoke to him.

So this person wrote a book "angels on assignment" and I shared it for open discussion....I have encountered one for myself but I didn't call for him, he was sent to me. So as I said this is not taught much in church however the Bible speaks a lot about angels appearing to us. And in Revelation we are going to see a lot of angels appearing.

 

[Enoch111]

I won't even look because this was a personal testimony of what God spoke to him.

Fair enough. You've made some good points, but according to Scripture, even the apostles did not give their guardian angels assignments. That is God's prerogative. But perhaps in your case God gave you that assignment, and who is to question that?

 

[bbyrd009]

I won't even look because this was a personal testimony of what God spoke to him.

him? ok, wasn't aware there was any him, sorry. him is for ppl who don't know their Bible imo, fwiw

And in Revelation we are going to see a lot of angels appearing.

ah we are? Literally, with our two eyes? In some undetermined Tomorrow, is what i'm hearing? Keep an open mind there, ok? i mean i don't doubt that you had some encounter, don't get me wrong, but we tend to label things from our perspective, etc. Revelation is not waiting to start in some future, almost surely?

The messengers/angels from God we see are not all the same. Some may appear as men while others may only be seen in our hearts. As to sending one out on assignment, what is it we do we pray an intercessory prayer on behalf of another person...as for instance?

"Open their hearts that they might hear what God is saying".

If we are in touch with God, why not be in touch with an anger/messenger of God? So long as the assignment we assign is in accord with God's will, again I would ask, why not?

 

[bbyrd009]

again I would ask, why not?

my reply would be bc you cannot find it done in Scripture, not anywhere that i know of.

 

[amadeus]

my reply would be bc you cannot find it done in Scripture, not anywhere that i know of.

When we pray as indicated in scripture, what is it we are doing?

"Bless them that curse you, and pray for them which despitefully use you." Luke 6:28

Are we not sending a message to God? Perhaps rather than a message alone it is a message we are sending by a messenger/angel? When we send a messenger/angel of course there needs to be a proper message. Our problem here may be just what an angel or messenger is. Consider when Joab sent one messenger/angel to King David with a message but another one ran with no message.

"Then said Joab to Cushi, Go tell the king what thou hast seen. And Cushi bowed himself unto Joab, and ran.
Then said Ahimaaz the son of Zadok yet again to Joab, But howsoever, let me, I pray thee, also run after Cushi. And Joab said, Wherefore wilt thou run, my son, seeing that thou hast no tidings ready?
But howsoever, said he, let me run. And he said unto him, Run. Then Ahimaaz ran by the way of the plain, and overran Cushi." II Sam 18:21-23

Cushi was an messenger/angel sent from Joab to David. Ahimaaz ran the same route as Cushi to David even faster than Cushi, but he was an angel/messenger without a message. The one was a properly assigned angel/messsenger, whereas the other one simply wanted to be an angel/messenger as well.

We send messages to our King, do we not? Our King, of course, is not David. Sometimes our messages are out of line or empty of substantive content or not appropriate. Proper assignment is needful. Even in our messages, we need the direction of God:

"Ye lust, and have not: ye kill, and desire to have, and cannot obtain: ye fight and war, yet ye have not, because ye ask not.
Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts." James 4:2-3

Remember that angels are messengers. All of us who pray send messages to God, do we not?

As most of you know...in our house, on the night my dad died we had lots of angels present.

Four of them were in our bedroom and I have no idea how many were in my dads bedroom because the Glory Cloud was so bright God wouldn't allow me to see into his room.

So, Yes, I believe in angels.
I believe that ( like me) God opens our spiritual eyes that we can actually se them ..or better said..."See into the spiritual realm"

But I did NOT like the book 'Angels on Assignment' ...I do not believe we are to tell people to look for or talk to angels.

Jesus says " My sheep hear My voice.."
We 'look unto Him' we don't look unto angels.

In Psalm 103 it says :-
20 "Bless the Lord, ye His angels, that excel in strength, that do His commandments, hearkening unto the voice of His word.
21 Bless ye the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye ministers of His, that do His pleasure."

I DO believe that when WE speak God's word in any given situation be it warfare , sickness or whatever...the Angels move and minister because they hear HIS word in OUR mouth...not because we speak to them.
I Do believe in the ministry of angels ...I am sure that they are busier than we know or ever comprehend on our behalf.
But I do not believe that we have any commission to speak to or command angels about.

When I am praying for sick friends or bereaved friends ...I DO ask the Lord to send His comforting angels as ministering spirits to the heirs of salvation...

And finally the clincher for me is Jesus own words on the matter.
Matt 26 53
"Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and He shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? "

That to me is the biblical pattern. And there I stick. :)

 

[amadeus]

Jesus was also an angel of God. That is he had a message from God for men. An angel is a messenger. Check your references and see how often the same original word translated as messenger in English is also translated as angel. Some angels are men sent by God with a message such as John the Baptist. Other angels are heavenly creatures such as Gabriel, but also sent by God with a message.
Angels may be seen with the human eye or not, but God uses what He uses to accomplish His purpose, does He not? Can we put God in a box?

 

[bbyrd009]

Remember that angels are messengers.

as a metaphor, yes

All of us who pray send messages to God, do we not?

yes--well, supposedly anyway, imo most of those supplications are pointless and not being heard anyway--and in that vein, "angels" (spirits) are more akin to "messages" themselves than "messengers" imo. But any way you slice it, i am still just asking for a Scripture verse, or two actually, and i'm still not going to get them, am i. I mean we could all go to church on Easter, too, right.
So imo talk to and command spirits if you like, but there is no "one" there to hear you, just like when you wrote letters to Santa Claus or whatever imo

Check your references and see how often the same original word translated as messenger in English is also translated as angel.

they are both bad translations as far as i am concerned, bc people will then feel justified in personifying spirits, like santa claus, whose spirit is alive and well, right, and little kids are taught--by
grown-ups" no less--to believe they can command him too right. Only no one can Quote me a single v for this?

The dominion is ours, even though it is best for us to hand over the reins to Him. We are always in charge but most of the time we are unqualified to give commands, even to ourselves:

"O LORD, I know that the way of man is not in himself: it is not in man that walketh to direct his steps." Jerem 10:23

When our will coincides always exactly with His, then our command will equal His command always. It doesn't happen that way because even the best followers of Jesus quite often do not have a will equal to His.

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth." Gen 1:26-28

The dominion is ours and we can give the commands even to angels, but when our will is not His, what is likely to be the result?

So should we never give commands? I did not say that. What we need to do is to become like Him including our will so that our commands will really be as if He gave them. How often are we in His will? How often are in His Spirit? How often are we one with Him?

I am not supporting assigning angels nor denying it to be possible...Jacob wrestled with a man and wouldn't let him go until he blessed him...there are controversial theories as to whether this man was an angel or God....but nevertheless the appearance of angels is scriptural, we may be entertaining them unaware....and they are to do the Will of the Father on our behalf. So I am thinking that we can pray that God send our angels in the time of need to help in whatever our situation may be.
But in most of what you have said I agree with.

Well this is definitely an example of putting an angel on assignment....I am going to go study this some more.

 

[bbyrd009]

How often are in His Spirit?

instead of the example of Paul et al even being deemed "angels" for their message serving to de-personify spirits, instead it gets read the opposite, and confirms to ppl that other "persons" can like take them over and make them do their "will?" Spirits indeed exhibit some of the qualities of persons, and Scripture even "personifies" them, but i suggest that this is a very dangerous road to go down, and most instances of "possession" likely started with this belief.

Anyone who is now able to decide what kind of day they are going to have--or for that matter why Paul is referred to as an "angel" bc of his message--or gets what a "wet blanket" really does, or is able to take the temperature of a room, or ask someone a question that they don't listen to the words of the answer bc they are listening to something else, or i guess managers of people too, all understand what "spirits" really are. We even poke fun at teenagers who are so oblivious to all the "signals" (signals are messages too right) they are broadcasting

Now is it possible that one might have tea and a back and forth convo with Michael the Archangel?
ask yourself when this imaginary convo might occur, if you will, and then understand another reason why we seek to anthropomorphize angels. Now i don't mean to say that it is impossible, either, but what i can say is you cannot Quote that anywhere, apparently even in English, which tbh i don't quite get bc dialectics suggests to me that there should be 1 occurrence, to allow the believers of such to justify themselves.

Are we not sending a message to God?

we think we are anyway i guess. At least there's some support for that

 

[amadeus]

@bbyrd009
Of course people can get off the track and allow themselves by their attitudes, by their failure to stay tuned to God to become as you say possessed, but it is not something for real follower to worry about, is it?

I spoke of the ideal way, which is God's Way. That people bearing the label Christian often don't walk that way is a given. I am not speaking of them when I confirm a person's ability as per the OP to command an angel. Most people cannot do it, but God can and so for a person who has handed his reins to God, what believer would seriously deny His ability to do it? It is still me or @Heart2Soul or @bbyrd009 or @some other to make the decision. We have to be in God's perfect will in the moment we make such decision because ultimately it would be God's decision. We can and do limit God but it is always a mistake to do so.

 

[bbyrd009]

I confirm a person's ability as per the OP to command an angel.

yes, all you have not done is Supported it, any kind of way, right?
ah, i guess you have a v there that works for you, ok then
i don't see spirits in There anywhere, but ok

We can and do limit God but it is always a mistake to do so.

ok go with that then i guess

 

[amadeus]

@bbyrd009
Keep on striving and smiling. We may not agree on every point, but I think we do agree nevertheless on what is really important.

Give God the glory!
