This coming Sunday morning at JBC I am starting a class at 10:20 am in the main sanctuary between the two Sunday morning services. The class is about demons and angels and the part they play in our life. Angels are supernatural beings that serve God, they do for Him whatever He tells them to do.

Psalms 103:19-20 The Lord has established His throne in the heavens,
And His sovereignty rules over all.
Bless the Lord, you His angels,
Mighty in strength, who perform His word,
Obeying the voice of His word!

Hebrews 1:14
Angels, are they not all ministering spirits, sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?

Most of what God commands His angels to do revolves around taking care of us. They are ministering spirits sent out by God to serve us. The classic passage concerning this care and protection is in Daniel 6:22,

“My God sent His angel and shut the lions’ mouths and they have not harmed me”

One of the key principles in the Bible is that when we pray God sends His angels, and the more we pray the more He sends.

Daniel 10:12
Then he said to me, (the angel) “Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words.

When we pray God also gives His angels more strength, and the more we pray the more strength and power He gives them.

Prayer is not merely making a simple request of God, but prayer is a force in that when we pray God commissions angels and the more we pray the more He commissions. When we pray God gives power and strength to His angels and the more we pray the more power they get.

The “Five Days of Prayer” started Monday and will go until Friday. We pray from 5:00 to 10:00 am and 5:00 to 10:00 pm.
