Angel Army

 Exodus 23-24; Psalms 14; Acts 5 

“’See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared.’”

Exodus 23:20

“…during the night an angel of the Lord opened the doors of the jail and brought them out. ‘Go, stand in the temple courts,’ he said, ‘and tell the people the full message of this new life.’”

Acts 5:19, 20

God sent an angel to guard and guide his people on their journey to Canaan. He also sent an angel to open the doors of the Jerusalem jail and release the apostles with instructions to boldly share the “full message of this new life” (Acts 5:20).

Does God still assign angels today to his servants who live on mission with him?

The writer of Hebrews asked, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation” (Hebrews 1:14)? John saw an angel with the eternal Gospel to proclaim to every nation, tribe, language, and people (Revelation14:6). The angels are assisting us today as we live and share the Gospel in the power of the Holy Spirit. We are commissioned by Jesus to preach the Good News to all creation (Mark 16:15), and we are not alone; we have the Holy Spirit and the angels!

“Lord Jesus, thank you for your Spirit and angels, enabling us to live on mission with you, for your glory.”
