GUIDE: WORKING WITH ANGELS
THREE KEY PRINCIPLES
Seeking God for a Revelation
The first point the correct position to be when the
angels minister to our life is, number one, to seek God
for an understanding or a revelation. Many of us have got
visions that we don’t understand. Dreams that we couldn’t
interpret. Revelations that we couldn't fully digest.
Prophecies that we couldn’t make head or tail. Many of
us have all those things. hanging somewhere in our
dairies, in our devotional book, in our file, somewhere
are some of these things. The interesting thing is Daniel
has all those things but he went one step further. He
sought God for an understanding of his vision, of his
dreams, of the prophecies. He was a seeker. Angels love to
work with seekers after truth, people who are hungry for
more of God. Now many of us have some dreams, some
prophecies, some vision, some revelations that we don’t
fully understand piled up somewhere in our files on our
shelf. But we never bother to take the time to seek God
about it. We never took one day off to fast and pray over
those things. We never spend time over those. We are too
busy. And we may take the attitude; they are the extreme
attitude, while if those things are from God they will
come to pass by themselves. Yes to a certain extent. But
when you work with God for long, you will realize
everything is a union with God. There are something that
are done on God's part and there are something that needs
to be done on our part. And if you go on for the next five
years or the next ten years not seeking God about some of
these things, you will find that after five or ten years
you are still in the same position where you were. God
likes people of initiative. God likes people to take
initiative to love Him, to seek Him. And Daniel was such a
person.
Let's look at the book of Daniel. The book of Daniel is
divided into two sections. The first section is called the
historical section from chapter one to six. The second
section is from chapter seven to chapter twelve, which are
all prophecies and visions and revelations. So on one side
is history and on other side is revelation. And it seems
that in Daniel's life that he had his first few visions in
the latter days of his life. His first one is mentioned in
Daniel 7: 1. In the first year of Belshazzar king of
Babylon, now that was in his latter years. He was an
old man by that time. Be patient with God, don’t be
impatient with yourself or with God. Daniel was faithful
to the word of God, faithful in prayer. Three times a day
he prayed all his life. Be faithful in what God is doing
in your life. Never get impatient. And as we patiently
seek after God one day those things will begin to work out
in God's perfect time. So Daniel had a dream and vision on
his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream
telling the main fact. From verse two to verse fourteen
was a description of it. It is one of the many visions and
dreams he had. Daniel 7: 15 I, Daniel, was grieved in
my spirit within my body and the visions of my head
troubled me. We are not sure whether he was still in
the vision and then he came to these people whom he saw in
the vision and ask them some questions, or whether it was
some days later that he had a vision and then he asked
these people. But the fact in verse fifteen that he was
grieved in his spirit within his body and the visions of
his head troubled him seems to imply that he had them
sometime before. And there was a time gap for may be
several days. But what was happening to Daniel. Daniel
sought to understand. He didn’t just ask people to
interpret. He didn’t just look for counsel. Seeking
counsel is good for in the multitude of counselors there
is safety. But many times we seek after everyone except
God. We seek after every manifestation except God. We need
to learn how to seek God personally, individually on our
knees. And Daniel must have been seeking after God for an
understanding.
