GOD SPEAKS

Usually, our mind is preoccupied in such a condition that all our personal and spiritual issues are to be dealt only by us and there are none to help you. This attitude has to be changed. Unless this attitude is changed and you alter your thinking that your life is being controlled by the God above, standing for Christ on the earth is difficult for you. The reason could be that the circumstances always chase you out of faith. After receiving Him as your God and saviour, we do not recognize and remember that He is there for you.

God will not leave you alone. He made all arrangements for you. But, your ignorance makes you to feel anxious about every simple problem you face. He solves many problems in His style. There are many methods available for Him. One of them is sending His angels for your assistance. In this regard, there are many instances from the Bible may be noticed.

Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation? Hebrews 1:14. After your acceptance of His salvation, you are separated from this world and there are certain special services are accessible to you. Being ignorant of this fact could make to worry for every simple problem.

Those who understood this truth have stood for Christ. Read these verses –Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king’s word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. Daniel 4:28

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me : forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me ; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt. Daniel 6:22

Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego and Daniel understood this fact that the Lord God can save them. They knew that they had to stand against the decrees and powers of the King which might take away their lives. These circumstances did not make them anxious. For they believed the God’s promises from the Bible – as it is written: The angel of the Lord encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them. Psalms 34:7 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. Psalms 91:11. The Lord delivered them from their troubles using His angels. None even the Kings of this world can harm you if you are found innocent before Him. This fact would enhance your faith. Therefore, do recognize that you are not alone on the earth as the angel of the Lord encompasses round about God fearing people.

The angels of the Lord also ministered Elijah who fled to Horeb. And as he lay and slept under a juniper tree, behold, then an angel touched him, and said unto him, Arise and eat.  And he looked, and, behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head. And he did eat and drink, and laid him down again 1 Kings 19:5-6. Elijah was alone in the wilderness. The prevailing conditions were against him as Jezebel was after him to seek his life. Though no one can take away his life as this right to give or take your life rests with the Lord. Still, he prayed to Lord to take his life and the same was accepted. In this context too we may see the angel of the Lord ministering Lord’s heirs of salvation.

Further, read this -Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, angels came and ministered unto him. Matthews 4:11.  The devil left after tempting our Lord. Here too, the angels came and ministered unto Him. Lord’s love cannot leave you alone. Remember always -if you are innocent before Him and fear the Lord, his angels are with you to minister. You are not alone on the earth as He is a just God. The Bible says-I will not leave you comfortless : I will come to you. John 14:18. Now, the Holy Spirit also dwells in you to guide you. He is your comforter. He is your God. Your existence on the earth is being controlled by the Lord. Therefore, never take thought that you are alone on the earth.
