Psalm 103:20
Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.
Notice that the verse says that angels are “heeding the voice of His word”. Now, who gives voice to God’s Word? We do! Each time we speak God’s Word, we give voice to His Word. And when angels hear His Word given voice, they respond!
The Bible says that at the end of Daniel’s three weeks of fasting and praying for an answer from God, the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said to him, “I have come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12)
So when angels hear you saying, “Thank You, Father, no evil shall befall me nor shall any plague come near my dwelling,” (Psalm 91:10) they will come to your aid because you are giving voice to God’s Word. Even if you cannot quote the verse perfectly, they can still come to your rescue.
This was what happened to a lady in the United States. While walking home after an evening church service, she was attacked from behind by a man and dragged toward a dark corner in an alley. In that frantic state, she remembered only one word from that evening’s sermon. So she shouted, “Feathers! Feathers!” Her attacker released her and fled!
Feathers? What did she mean? She was actually referring to Psalm 91:4—“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge”. In that state of panic, she remembered only one word—“feathers”, and it was enough to cause her attacker to flee. You see, it is not your ability to quote an entire verse perfectly that releases God’s power, but faith in His Word and His love for you. And one word from Him is enough to send your enemies scurrying away.
However, if you know God’s Word by heart but refuse to proclaim it, the power of His Word cannot be released. The Bible does not say that angels heed His Word. No, it says that “His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word”. So beloved, give voice to God’s Word and see His angels respond. His angels are activated for your benefit when you speak His Word

ReplyDeleteDuring my dunamis school of ministry class, we were mandated to memorize atleast 30 scriptures every day.
ReplyDeletePraying with the word brings rapid response from Gods angel. I call it petitioning God with his own words. When you pray scripturally you receive answers because God's words cannot return to him void.
If you are TTC..ing, use the word about Gods promise of fruitfulness.
If you are having delay in marriage, remind him of his word in Isaiah about non wanting their mate.
If you are facing poverty, present his word in Exodus to him where he made a promise to our father Abraham that he will bless his generation with wealth.
If there is scarcity in the land remind him of his promise to the righteous about his constant provision.
The list is endless. There is a word for every situation.
My graduation from school of ministry is this Sunday. My ordination as an Evangelist and a music minister.
I might send pictures if the spirit leads.
Please do send us pix as well as all the sriptures for all relevant life situations
DeleteGod bless you
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of Frank E. Peretti's christian novel 'This present darkness'. That book had a great impact on me, it depicted how much our prayers empowered the angels. Sins were depicted as little demons that clung to us whenever we did anything contrary to God's word...I read the book time and time again but a friend lent it and never returned it many years ago.
ReplyDeleteWhen I am back to restocking my library, Peretti's works ones I would get again.
Frank Peretti's books are very good. I practically built a library of his books.
DeleteYou could also read Piercing the Darkness by same author. Sort of a continuation though written in such a way that one would understand it without reading the first book.
Just like my pastor will say, "keep saying it, don't stop talking it". Thanks Michelle Ogo for sharing
ReplyDeleteThe bible says in the city of Ephesus, so MIGHTILY grew the word of God and prevaillllllllll

ReplyDeleteGod's word is ye and Amen, the only words that is sharper than two edged sword,...when you get hold of the word, keep saying it,dont stop talking it cos it had the ability of making you what it talks about...
