CHRISTIAN SINGLES DATING
GUIDE: WORKING WITH ANGELS
MINISTERING ANGELS
Number one education, number two direction, number
three protection. Lets turn to the book of Daniel 6: 7
There was a law that these have come out with that says
all the governors of the kingdom, the administrators and
satraps, the adviser have consulted together to establish
as royal statute. And to make a firm decree that who ever
petition any god or man for thirty days except you O king
shall be cast into the den of lions. We all know the story
of Daniel and the lions' den. People can always
rationalize what took place down there. Sometimes people
say the lions are very old. Others say the lions were very
well fed so they didn’t feel like eating Daniel. But all
these are wrong stories because we know in Daniel 6: 24
that when the other people were thrown down into the
lions' den, they were overpowered and killed. When the
other people were thrown in, (Daniel's accusers) when they
cast them into the den of lions and the lions overpowered
them and broke all their bones in pieces before they ever
came to the bottom of the den. These were wild lions and
yet when Daniel was thrown, Daniel was found alive and he
said in verse twenty two. My God send his angels and
shut the lions' mouth so that they have not hurt me
because I was found innocent before him. And also O king I
have done no wrong before you. Angels were protecting
Daniel all the time.
Angels work in education, direction, protection and
number four provision. Angels guide us to find food,
clothing and shelter. Angelic help is always involved.
Turn to the book of First Kings 19: 4, angels are
interested in providing for us. Elijah was discouraged
and he was down. But he himself went a day's journey into
the wilderness and came and sat down under a broom tree.
And he prayed that he might die and said it is enough, now
Lord take my life for I am not better than my fathers. And
as he lay and slept under a broom tree, suddenly an angel
touched him. Now Elijah didn’t realize the things he
was facing. Number one he had loneliness. Number two he
was exhausted. God send him an angel and the angel said,
"Arise and eat." Look at what he ate in verse
six, then he look and there was a cake baked and a jar
of water. He never asked where it came from. Verse six
tells you angels can be very good cooks. Don’t go around
your kitchen and order the angels to cook. They will not
obey your every whims and fancies. In verse seven the
angel of the Lord came back a second time touched him and
said arise and eat because the journey is too great for
you. So he arose and ate and drank and he went into the
strength of that food, forty days and forty nights as far
as Horeb the mountain of God. I love that kind of food
which allows you to eat once in forty days.
