GUIDE: WORKING WITH ANGELS
SENSITIVITY TO ANGELS
Do we have to take submissive position? Yes we do. Even
among human beings, when people carry the word of the Lord
we respect them. In the same way in Exodus 23 points to
the angel warning again. Exodus 23: 21 Beware of him
and obey his voice. do not provoke him for he will not
pardon your transgression for my name is in him. He is
talking about a very powerful angel. That is a warning
about obeying the angel's voice and instructions. Now in
what position did Joshua take when he saw his angel? In
the book of Joshua 5: 13-15 And it came to pass, when
Joshua was near Jericho, that he lifted his eyes and he
looked, and behold, a Man stood opposite him with His
sword drawn in His hand. And Joshua went to Him and said
to Him, "Are you for us or for our adversaries? So He
said, "No, but as Commander of the army of the Lord I
have now come. Immediately Joshua fell on his face to the
earth and worshipped. (Now although it said
worshipped, he didn't worship the angel; he was worshiping
God.) And said to Him, "What does my Lord say to
His servant?" Then the Commander of the Lord's army
said to Joshua, "Take your sandal off your foot, for
the place where you stand is holy." And Joshua did
so. Look he takes a submissive position. Although
Joshua was now the head of his people replacing Moses, we
need to have a healthy respect and healthy working
relationship with the angel. Let them take their place
when they are bringing forth the word from the Lord. You
always take a position of submission. When William Branham
worked with his angel, he took a position of submission.
In the end there was co-operation. We can be friendly but
we must know where each person's place is.
Even David understood the place that the angels have in
his life. In the book of First Chronicles 21: 15-16 And
God send an angel to Jerusalem to destroy it. As he was
destroying, the Lord looked and relented of the disaster
and said to the angel who was destroying, "It is
enough; now restrain your hand." And the angel of the
Lord stood by the threshing floor of Ornan the Jebusite.
Then David lifted his eyes and saw the angel of the Lord
standing between earth and heaven, having in his hand a
drawn sword stretched out over Jerusalem. So David and the
elders, clothed in sackcloth, fell on their faces.
David was a powerful military leader and king. When he saw
the angel of the Lord he fell down on his face.
Acknowledge means to turn aside, to respond and to submit
to the message. And that is our relationship when angels
carry a message of God.
