Sermon Series: “Triumph Over Death with Long Life”

Presenter:  Dr. JoAnne P. King

Message: “Places on the Road to Our Expected End”

Date:  November 28, 2021

This is the sixth and last sermon in a series entitled: “Triumph Over Death with Long Life.” A brief review of last week’s sermon entitled: “Angelic Enforcers of Covenant Protections for Long life.” Using Psalm 91:10-11 and Exodus 23:20, You learned that you no longer have to be wary of venturing into the unknown or what appears to be an impossible situation because you are fully armed. You can call on the name of Jesus because you have His power of attorney to do anything He could do. Jesus told you that you can ask anything in His name and He would do it.

Know and believe that any of the gifts of the Spirit can and will flow through you when you are on an assignment from God. Those gifts are: the word of wisdom; the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers’ kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues. Always remember, that you have the Greater One living inside of you and because of that “you can do all things through Christ that strengthens you.” Moreover, you have personal angels there to protect you and bring you safely to your destination.            

Now, grab your Bibles and let’s get into today’s message. Last week was Thanksgiving Day and the giving of thanks is included in today’s sermon; entitled: “Places on the Road to Our Expected End.”

On any road or highway, there are many twists, turns, detours, rest stations, places to make U-turns, pay tolls, stops, etc. The road to our expected end isn’t any different. There are some places where you must stop and spend time with God, if you want to arrive at your expected end.

Turn with me and let’s read Psalm 100:1-5. As I have said many times in my sermons that God is the most purposeful person in the world.  The Tabernacle mirrors perfectly, how God wants His people to worship Him both then and now. In this Psalm prophetically, we are shown three places a born-again Christian must enter in our walk with the Lord to reach our expected end.

According to the Psalm, the three places are: first, we must enter the gate in order to get to 1) the Outer Court, 2) the Holy Place and 3) the Holy of Holies. In John 10:9 Jesus says: “I am the door: by me if any man enter-in he shall be saved, and shall go in and out and find pasture.” This makes it clear that Jesus is the gate/door that must be used to enter into the Outer Court. How are we supposed to approach the gate/door?  With a joyous noise and singing, which means you don’t have to have the best singing voice in the world. As we approach the gate/door, enter with thanksgiving; thanking Him for all He has done and continues to do in your life. He doesn’t want you to come in His presence with a frown or begrudgingly, but full of joy.

Each of the three places mentioned above have furniture in them that lets us know what should be done in order to enter and/or stay.

The Outer Court in the Tabernacle was the place of sacrifice and cleansing. The two pieces of furniture in the Outer Court was the brazen altar and the brazen laver.  Both items were made out of Acacia wood and covered in brass or copper. This wood was considered incorruptible. Which speaks of our Lord and Savior’s incorruptible humanity. All the instruments used were made out of brass or copper which represents sin. The brazen altar was the place where the animals were sacrificed by burning which could not remove the sins of the people. The animals’ blood just covered the sins. The ancients were able to make the copper fire resistant. This is a foreshadowing of Jesus’s ability to withstand the wrath of God during His crucifixion and His blood that paid the price for the sins of all humanity.  

The brazen laver was used by priests to cleanse themselves after sacrificing the animals for the sins of the people. The priests shined the brass so you could see yourself. For us today, the Outer Court represents the place of salvation where we give our lives to the Lord. He takes our sins past, present and future, being an atonement for them, and gives us a new beginning.  

As the laver in the Outer Court was for the priests to wash themselves after sacrificing the animals. Our baptism was symbolic of this cleansing—in that our sins past, present and future were washed away and we were buried in the likeness of Jesus’s death and resurrection. Speaking of Jesus, Heb. 10:14 Amp. Bible says: “For by the one offering He has perfected forever and completely cleansed those who are being sanctified [bringing each believer to spiritual completion and maturity].” This is referring to your Spirit that has been made perfect, not your soul or body. Your soul and body have to be brought to spiritual completion and maturity.    

The priests using the laver to wash themselves is comparable to us washing ourselves with the Word of God. As the priest could see themselves in the laver, we should be able to see ourselves more clearly after being washed by the Word of God. Before our conversion, we walked by the flesh. After our conversion, we walk by the Spirit. When we walk by the Spirit, and daily surrender our lives to Jesus, is when fruit is produced.

The goal of our relationship with God is always one of growing and moving, deeper and deeper in the knowledge and understanding of Him. In other words, we are not to remain comfortable in the Outer Court but progress from one place to the next. The priests didn’t stay in the Outer Court after washing, they went into the Holy Place and so should we.

The things that occur in the Outer Court are preparatory for the next level and not to remain in the same spot forever. In the Outer Court, God wants you to get to know Him as deeply as possible. However, instead of some Christians moving on to the Holy Place they become comfortable remaining in the Outer Court. 

These Christians have become “religious,” in love with its rituals, rites, rules, and sacrifices—the very things that Jesus freed us from. A person being “religious” suffocates forming and keeping relationships because it is rules driven and dominated.  In fact, it takes the pleasure and love out of doing things that are acts of worship and fellowship with God.

When a person is acting out the rules and rites, that is exactly what you are doing, acting out, instead of feeling what you are doing or saying.  This acting out cannot replace actually talking and having fellowship with God.

You may ask, how can I have fellowship or a relationship with God? The same way you have a relationship with anyone. If you are husband and wife or boyfriend and girlfriend, you have to spend time together, learning what each one likes and dislikes. What makes them happy or unhappy. What kind of character they have, etc. You want to know everything possible about the person and vice versa. You want to spend time in the Word of God to learn all you can about Him. Your relationship must grow because any relationship that does not grow becomes stagnant. When you think of stagnant water, nothing desirable grows in stagnant water.  Therefore, we do not want our relationship with our Lord and Savior to become stagnant.

As babes in the Outer Court, we drank milk, because we were babes. It tells us in Heb. 5:12 Amp. Bible, “…by this time you ought to be teachers [because of the time you have had to learn these truths], you actually need someone to teach you again the elementary principles of God’s word [from the beginning], and you have come to be continually in need of milk, not solid food.” Now it is time to put down the bottle of milk and begin to eat solid food. Solid food is in the Holy Place. Therefore, our walk and relationship must deepen and that means, we must leave the Outer Court and move into the Holy Place.   

When we find out what is pleasing to Him, then we will be able to move on to the next place. We are told in Psalm 100:4b, that in order to move to the Holy Place, we need to praise Him.  Additionally, the furniture in the Holy Place tells us what we need to do in addition to praising Him. There are three pieces of furniture in the Holy Place, they are the Table of Showbread, the Golden Lampstand and the Altar of Incense.  Each of the three items are made of Acacia wood and covered in gold. The gold covering speaks of purity.  

The Table of Showbread held two stacks of 6 showbread. The showbread was made without yeast. Yeast was considered as sin, so the showbread was sinless and contained dark stripes which represents the pierced body of Jesus. Jesus told us that “He is the bread of life.” (John 6:35) This Showbread has a twofold meaning for Christians today, 1) it represents the taking of His body in Communion that Jesus told us to take in remembrance of Him. And, 2) communing and fellowshipping with Him in the Holy Place.

When we enter the Holy Place with praises and thanksgiving, it is for the purpose of adoration, koinonia and communing with Him. Praise is a spiritual weapon. When we praise Him, we are ushered into His presence and we become one with Him in Spirit. We recognize how mighty He is and how small and insignificant our problems are. Praise changes our perspective and focus, instead of looking at our problems, our spirits become more pliable and open to the molding of the Holy Spirit.   

As we praise Him, He inhabits the praises of His saints. In the atmosphere of praise, all barriers are broken and a breakthrough can come through. As we praise Him with thanksgiving, we are magnifying Him and He is being magnified in our bodies.

There is something about praising and singing unto the Lord that clears the atmosphere and allows the presence of God to do certain things. Speaking of praising and singing unto the Lord, I am reminded of “King Jehoshaphat who appointed those who sang and praised the Lord, attired in their (priestly) attire, to go before the army. As they went before, the army said: ‘Praise and give thanks to the Lord, for His mercy and loving kindness endure forever.’ When they began singing, the Lord set up ambushes against the sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir who had come up against Judah. So, they were struck down [in defeat]. The sons of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir ended up killing one another.” (2 Chron. 20:21-23 Amp. Bible paraphrased)

This is what the Lord did under the Old Covenant. We are under a better Covenant, just try to imagine what the Lord would do on our behalf, when we come before Him with praising, singing, and full of faith in a time of trouble.  As He delivered His Apostles in perilous times when on assignment, surely, He will do the same for us.

The Golden Lampstand or Menorah has seven branches with seven lamps filled with olive oil. This Golden Lampstand is the only source of light in the Holy Place. The Olive oil in the lamps is representative of the Holy Spirit that indwells all born again Christians. The light of the Golden Lampstand is the Word of God which is written in the Bible. Without His Word, neither illumination nor salvation could take place. “His Word is a lamp to my feet and a light unto my path.” (Psalm 119:105)

“Forever, O Lord, thy word is settled in heaven.” (Psalm 119:89) This means that God’s Word is eternal. Its plan for man is eternal. It is already settled in heaven and will be carried out on earth to the letter. This is why we may know in infinite detail the program of God from eternity past into all eternity future. While in the Holy Place, we spend quality time in the Word of God which is continuously washing and molding us in the image of His dear Son, Jesus. The Word of God is lighting our path on the road to our expected end.

The Altar of Incense is in the Holy Place next to the veil that separates it from the Holy of Holies. When one thinks of incense, you think of a wonderful perfume scent floating in and through the air.  It penetrates all the areas surrounding it with a fragrance that lingers for many hours. This incense is mixed with the prayers of the Saints that perfumes the atmosphere both in the Holy Place and in the Holy of Holies. This is well pleasing to God.

These prayers are so precious to God that we are told that they are bottled up. Not one of your prayers has been missed but have been saved along with other Saints. That lets’ you know just how important prayers are to God. If our prayers are that important to God, then they certainly should be important to us. How often would you pray, if you knew that all of your prayers would be answered? I dare say, a lot more, if you knew that they would be answered. These prayers are not a list of things you want. You are in the Holy Place and should have matured beyond that stage. These are prayers for others, world events, serious situations where lives are in danger, etc. You can be sure all prayers will be answered, if they are prayed in faith and according to God’s will.    

In Psalm 141:2: “David prays, “Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.” Incense was kept burning perpetually before the Lord and offerings were made morning and evening. Both were fit symbols of prayer. Lifting up of one’s hands in Hebrew is the word Yadah which means to revere or worship. 

“…Twenty- four elders fall down before Jesus with harps and golden vials full of odors, which are the prayers of saints.” (Rev. 5:8) The only prayers that are in the golden bowl are those made in faith and according to God’s will.  When the vials are full, then they are poured out—resulting in answered prayer.

In the last days, “an angel will take the golden censer add incense to the prayers of saints in it and let the aroma ascend before God.  Then, the angel will take fire from the altar put it in the censer and cast it into the earth causing thunders, lightnings, and an earthquake. This is before the initiation of judgments.” (Rev. 8:5)    

After we have mastered the requirements for the Holy Place, we are now ready to enter the Holy of Holies. In the Old Testament, we learned, there was only one entrance to the Holy of Holies and that was on one side of the veil. The high priest was allowed to enter the Holy of Holies only once a year to make an atonement for the sins of the Israelites and himself by sprinkling the blood of sacrificial animals on the Mercy Seat. It was at this time, that he could talk to God and God could talk to him.  

When Jesus died on the cross, “…the veil was torn in two from the top to the bottom…” (Matt. 27:51a) There were two veils: one at the entrance of the Holy Place and the other between this and the Holy of Holies, where the High priest alone went once a year to atone for the sins of the people. They were 60 ft. high from the ceiling to the floor and 4” thick. The rending of the veil signified that the middle wall of partition between Jews and Gentiles was broken down (Ephes. 2:14-18) and that each believer now could have personal access to God. (Heb. 9:8; 10:19-23)

Because of Jesus’s sacrifice and the tearing of the veil in two, two things were accomplished: 1) Before Jesus died on the cross, God’s glory resided in the Holy of Holies on the Mercy Seat. Once the veil was torn in two, God’s glory was revealed not just in the Temple but in all the earth! His glory resides in us. For all eternity, we can have an intimate relationship and live in God’s presence. 2) We can come boldly into the Holy of Holies by the blood of Jesus giving man direct access to God and His presence.

The furniture in the Holy of Holies is: 1) Ark of the Covenant, 2) Golden jar holding Manna, 3) Aaron’s staff that had budded and 4) the atonement cover with Mercy Seat on top. The Ark of the Covenant was made out of Acacia wood and covered in solid gold inside and out and held the objects. 

How these objects relate to us today are as follows:  The golden jar holding Manna—Manna was the food that God provided the Israelites in the wilderness on their 40-year journey. Today, we know that Jesus Christ is the bread that came down from heaven. (John 6:32-35)

Aaron’s rod that had budded=was a dead rod, yet it budded and how it could produce fruit is a miracle. Resurrection comes to mind here.  Jesus who died came back to life after 3 days.  God gives this same resurrection life to believers. Death cannot hold believers because believers have Jesus dwelling on the inside of them.

Tablets of stone—Ten Commandments—speaks to us of the only one who could keep the law of God in its entirety. “For we have not a high priest who cannot be touched with the feelings of our infirmities, but one was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.” (Heb. 4:15)    

The atonement cover with Mercy Seat on top=Atonement covering and Mercy Seat made out of pure gold.  Two Cherubim/angels one on each end facing each other with outstretched wings covered the Mercy Seat which was the dwelling place of God’s presence. When the high priest could enter only once a year and sprinkle blood on the Mercy Seat for the sins of the people, Jesus entered the heavenly Holy of Holies and placed His blood on the Mercy Seat once, for all humanity eternally.

The earthly Tabernacle/Temple is a copy of the heavenly Temple. The Holy of Holies is a mirror view of us entering into the heavenly Temple and the presence of God. Believers enter the Holy of Holies boldly with perfected praise, singing, the Word of God, effective prayer and worship with uplifted hands and pure hearts. Adoring and worshiping Him as King of Kings and Lord of Lords with total obedience to His will and way.

  When we have accomplished all of our assignments, destinies, and arrived at our final destination or expected end, we, like Stephen who “being full of the Holy Spirit and led by Him, gazed into heaven and saw the glory [the great splendor and majesty] of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said, “Look! I see the heavens opened up [in welcome] and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God!” (Acts 7:55-56 Amp. Bible)

We like, so many other believers before us, who have reported trips to heaven, will see bright lights, angels, beautiful green grass and gardens with bright flowers, loved ones who have gone on before, and Jesus! Who will say to us: “Well done my good and faithful servant, thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things; enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” (Matt. 25:23)

Give the Lord a praise offering for His series on Long Life.

 

1. Angels listen for faith filled words from us in order to go to work.

• The three Hebrew boys, Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego let the king know that “the God that they serve is able to deliver them from the fiery furnace and out of his hand. And, if not, they would not serve his gods nor worship the golden image he had set up.” (Dan. 3:16-18) The angels responded to the words of the Hebrew boys when they said that God would deliver them. Even the heathen king had to confess that: 1) God has sent his angel. 2) God delivers those who trust in Him. 3) In Persia, once a king issues a decree, it is impossible to change that decree. But the King admitted that God made him change his word. 4) The Jews offered to give up their lives in order to be true to their God. 5) There is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
• Because Virgin Mary trusted and believed what the angel said: “she said, be it unto me;” therefore, there was a performance of everything that the angel had said. (Luke 1:45)
• “Do not allow your mouth to cause you to sin, and do not say before the angels that it was a mistake. Why should God be angry because of your words and destroy the work of your hands?” (Ecclesiastes 5:6 Amp.) Always remember that life and death are in the power of your tongue!

2. Destinies are protected by angels. Their job is to see to it that we arrive at our destination unharmed and safely.

• In Exodus 23:20, the Lord is telling the Israelites: “that His Angel shall go before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared.” In verses 25-26, “they are told to serve the Lord thy God and He shall bless their bread and water and take sickness away from the midst of them. Nothing will cast their young or be barren in their land and the number of their days He will fulfill.” This Angel is none other than the second person of the Divine Trinity in His pre-incarnate state as God, and an equal partner in the Trinity. Bread and water represent all kinds of provisions from God. When God blesses it, even the most limited food items are nutritive and sufficient.
• The Apostle Paul about to be shipwrecked said in Acts 27:22-25 Amp.: “But even now I urge you to keep up your courage and be in good spirits, because there will be no loss of life among you, but only loss of the ship. For this very night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood before me, and said, ‘Stop being afraid, Paul. You must stand before Caesar; and behold, God has given you [the lives of] all those who are sailing with you.’ “So, keep up your courage, men, for I believe God and have complete confidence in Him that it will turn out exactly as I have been told.” Notice, Paul had an assignment, he had to appear before Caesar therefore, no harm could come to him.

3. All Believers have angels assigned to them to protect them and extend their lives.

• a. In the Old Testament, the patriarchs blessed their children according to their age starting with the eldest who usually received the greatest portion of the inheritance. In this case, Israel is blessing Joseph and calling on: “the Angel that redeemed him from evil to bless the lads; let his name and the name of his forefathers be on them. He asked that they grow into a multitude in the earth.” (Gen. 48:15-16) The Angel called upon was God the Redeemer, the one that had blessed him at Bethel. The one that had been with him and provided for him all of his life and the one that wrestle with him.
• In my last sermon, I mentioned that I was a devoted member of the Lord’s Prayer Group that met on Saturday evenings. We only had one automobile and my husband wanted to use the car and I wanted to go to the Prayer Group. So, we managed to borrow a cousin’s car who lived in southeast, D.C. We lived in northwest, D.C. at the time. So, my husband and I drove to S.E. to pick up the car. On the way back, it started to snow heavily and by the time we got back to northwest, the snow had accumulated on the roadways. I was not used to driving in snowy and icy conditions.

In order to get to our house, you have to drive up a hill. So, my husband drove up the hill first and when he was just about at the top, I started to drive up the hill, as well. When I was about half way, this truck started down the hill, instead of letting me get to the top. There wasn’t room for both of us so, I put my foot on the brake and put the car in reverse. I was driving a deuce and a quarter Buick which is a heavy weight car. My car took off down that hill and I was steering and doing my best not to hit this man who was changing a tire on his automobile in the street.  I saw my husband get out of the car and fall running down the hill trying to help me.  The gentleman changing his tire was yelling at me, lady stop, lady stop, stop the car! My car barely touched his, breaking a small covering on a light and stopped at a curb. I asked the gentleman how much I owed him for breaking that little piece of glass. He said lady, you don’t owe me nothing. My car was undamaged and I was unhurt, truly the angels of God protected me.

4. Angels attend to prayers of Saints.

• Psalm 34:7 = “The angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear him, and delivers them.” Verse 6= “This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him and saved him from all his troubles.” A mother can be in a mall full of people, but if her child calls out to her, she will hear him/her and go to him/her. So, it is with our Lord and Savior, He hears us when we call and will deliver us.
• This brings to mind Peter who was in prison and the king was determined to kill him the next day. “The Saints prayed for Peter without ceasing. Even though he was chained between two soldiers, and there were keepers outside the prison door; the chains fell off and the angel led Peter outside the prison.” (Acts 12:5-11) The Saints’ praying is what drew the angel. This is Peter’s second time being liberated from prison by an angel. Four miracles happened: 1) Helplessness of the guards. 2) Chains falling off. 3) Going through 3 gates without notice. And, 4) Automatic opening of the gates. The angel departed once he was no longer needed. Angels never stay beyond the completion of a task.
• While writing about the Apostle Peter and angels opening gates, it reminded me of my last trip to Israel. The group that I travelled with were all on the bus in front of the hotel where we were staying when I decided to go to the bathroom which was in the basement. I did mention to another passenger, I was going to the bathroom but I didn’t say where. I went into the stall and locked the door. A little voice said, you shouldn’t have done that. I shrugged it off. The bathroom was actually located in a bomb shelter in the basement. The walls of the stalls were very tall and extended down to about a foot or foot and a half from the floor. Making it impossible to climb over or under the stall. When I tried to open the door, I could not open it. The latch refused to budge. I was there at least 15 minutes maybe more. I don’t remember what I said but I prayed to the Lord to get me out of there. After the prayer, I tried the latch and it miraculously lifted. While I was washing my hands, praising God and shaking all over; someone from the bus came down-stairs looking for me. She had been looking all over for me including going up to the 10^th floor where I had been staying. I had the tour group on the bus rejoicing with me. What a mighty God we serve. He is still unlocking locked doors!!

5. We can command our angels and tell them what to do.

• Jesus gave us an example of this when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane and being placed under arrest, when Peter cuts off the ear of one of the high priest’s servants. Fighting and violence was not what Jesus wanted and He asked His disciples, “don’t you think that I could pray to the Father right now and He would give me more than twelve legions of angels?” (Matt. 26:51-53) Let me put twelve legions of angels in perspective for you. Each legion is 6,000; so, 12 legions would be 72,000 for Himself and the eleven apostles having 6,000 for each of them. Each angel could slay 185,000 in a night, as one did in Isaiah 37:36. On this basis, 11 billion more men than are now on earth could easily have been killed which would have defeated God’s plan. The ultimate purpose of God is to redeem the world from all rebellion and sin, and to restore it to its’ original sinlessness and perfection. This will be fulfilled during the Millennial reign of Christ. (1 Cor. 15:24-28)
• We have been given the power to use the name of Jesus. In the Great Commission, Jesus commands us to go into all the world… (Matt. 28:18-20). When we use the name of Jesus, it releases our power of attorney. A power of attorney endows the user with the same authority as the original owner. Whatever the original owner can do, so can the person with the power of attorney. Furthermore, in the above-mentioned scripture, Jesus lets us know that He is with us even to the end of the world. Whenever you are ministering for Jesus, know that He is seated on the right hand of God the Father making intercession for you.
• As a child, my brother, sister and I spent our summers on a farm in Virginia. One day, my sister, several other children on the farm and myself went walking in the woods. We came to a creek, saw a boat and decided to get in the boat and go to the other side. We didn’t realize that there was a hole in the boat until we had gotten a little distance down the creek. The boat began to sink. I was 6 yrs. old at the time and didn’t know how to swim. My sister who was 4 years older started swimming and I cried out “Jesus save me!” Daisy who was about 12 years old was able to carry her brother, sister and me to shore. Praise God, certainly, He strengthened her in order to save us.
• We can ask for judgment for our enemies. “It is wished that the enemy that seeks after my soul be disgraced, ashamed, turned back and brought to confusion that devised my hurt. Let them stumble and fall into the net they have prepared for me. There is also a picture of chaff being violently carried by the wind along a dark and smooth path, being chased by the angel of the Lord whose speed is unimaginable to persecute them.” (Psalm 35:4-6) You never ask for them to be killed. As for us, the angel of the Lord encamps round about them that fear Him and delivers them.
• We have been given the assurance that we can ask anything in His name and He will do it. (John 14:12-14) Jesus assures us that anyone who believes in Him as Savior will do the things that He did and greater things because He is going to the Father. He will do it because He wants the Father to be glorified and celebrated in the Son. This lets us know that we can be confident when we are carrying out our assignments that we can ask anything and it will be done. I don’t care how difficult the assignment is: when you are trusting and relying on Him; He will never let you fail!

6. Angels are attentive to God waiting for their next assignment. When we have drawn closer and committed to God, who has always been committed to us; our angels will do their jobs of making sure that we have a long life. “The angels are referred to as apostles to minister to the heirs of salvation.” (Heb. 1:14) This refers to our being sent out on special mission(s) where different “gifts of the Spirit” will flow through you. Gifts that you have never used before and may never use again but are needed for this assignment. Just remain pliable and available for God’s service.

In conclusion, “Faith” is an attribute of God and restored faculty of man whereby both can bring into existence things that are unseen. I mentioned to you earlier in one of my sermons, that everything that you will ever need, God has already provided for you in the spiritual world. Your job is to bring the things you need into the natural using your faith.

You have learned from this teaching that angels are assigned to believers to protect them, extend their lives, protect their destinies and bring us to the place God has prepared for us.

After today’s sermon, you no longer have to be wary of venturing into the unknown or what appears to be an impossible situation because you are fully armed. You can call on the name of Jesus because you have His power of attorney to do anything He could do. Jesus told you that you can ask anything in His name and He would do it.

When you are on an assignment from God, any of the gifts of the Spirit can and will flow through you. Those gifts are: the word of wisdom; the word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healing, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, divers-kinds of tongues, and interpretation of tongues.  God has sent you on that assignment to win and bring glory to Him.  Always remember, that you have the Greater One living inside of you and personal angels there to protect you.  In other words, there are more with you, than against you!

Angels are attentive to our prayers, therefore, speak the Word of God and put them to work. You are able to call on your angels to go or do anything that you command. When we use our faith and call forth for things that be not as though they are; they go to work and manifest that thing into the natural realm. Angelic activity is automatically summoned when we are trusting, believing, serving and are committed to God. 

Since the angels’ job is to ensure that you will live a long and healthy life, you should ask your angels to let you know what you should eat and drink; what exercises you should do; vitamins to take, etc. to live a long and healthy life. Then, whatever your angel(s) says, do it!

With these great and precious angelic promises, and all of the examples given; all of you should be encouraged to do great exploits for the Lord. The next time you are given an assignment or you receive an unction to do something; you should be raring to go, knowing that “I can do all things through Christ that strengthens me.” Give the Lord a praise offering for His teaching.
