Receiving Blessings Through Angels
Excerpt from Sunday Chat Line 12/23/01
We shall know all things by the Spirit. The things you have need of cannot always be successfully obtained by human knowledge. That is why God has given us the window of prayer to find answers on how to obtain the things we need. If you have need of anything, you can find out how to get it through the Spirit. When you pray, God will be faithful to send His ministering spirit to bring the revelation of how to obtain your needs.
But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you. Matthew 6:33
One of the recorded events of angels interacting with man is that of Jacob's ladder. It is a Sunday School teaching many of us have forgotten. This recorded event is biblical proof that angels do co-exist between heaven and earth. The Angels of the Lord are continually ascending and descending between heaven and earth, delivering messages from and delivering prayers to the throne of God. In a dream Jacob saw angels traveling up and down a ladder that extended from God's throne. The angels were making way for the word of God to be delivered to Jacob while he slept. The promise of the Lord was given to Jacob during this dream and Jacob knew when he awoke that God had revealed Himself during this dream. (ref. Genesis 28:10-16)
The New Testament gives confirmation that a similar occurrence took place during the days Jesus, the Son of Man, ministered on earth. While Jesus was ministering in the word of knowledge, he gave the gift of discernment to Nathanael. (ref. 1 Corinthians 12:8) Philip, from Bethsaida, found Nathanael and told him about Jesus who claimed to be the Messiah. Nathanael did not believe that Jesus was the Messiah prophesied about in the Old Testament. When Jesus saw Nathanael, He spoke a word of knowledge to Nathanael telling him He had seen him sitting under a fig tree. Nathanael knew there was no way that Jesus could have seen him sitting under the fig tree, thus, Nathanael believed that Jesus was the Son of God. (ref. John 1:47 & 48) After Nathanael publicly recognized Jesus as being the Son of God, the Lord gave him spiritual eyes to see how Jesus knew and operated in these supernatural gifts by giving him the gift of discerning of spirits (angels). (ref. I Corinthians 12:10)
Jesus answered and said to him (Nathanael), 'Most assuredly, I say to you, hereafter you shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.' John 1:51
In 1995 we were asked to go on television by a friend who worked at LeSea Broadcasting. This individual and his wife became friends of ours after they traveled from Hawaii to Fort Worth, Texas to meet with Andrea and me to receive a word from the Lord. While we ate dinner in a crowded restaurant, he and his wife began to tell us about all of their problems. They were destitute; they had lost everything and did not know where to go or what to do. I had brought a small tape recorder and a blank tape to record their prophecy. It was not long before I received the message the Lord had for this man and his wife. The spirit told me to tell them to go back to Hawaii; there would be someone there to meet them who would give them a place to live. This portion of the word was not too difficult to believe, but the next part was. He was also to go on Christian television and begin to pray for people over the air. He and his wife flew home to Hawaii shortly after our visit. Just as God had said, they were met at the airport by a friend and given a place to live-- rent free. The second part of the prophecy was fulfilled within weeks of their returning home. This man had no money; however, he was still able to start a TV program, to be aired weekly. Within the first few months he was unable to pay the expenses for his program and went off the air. Stressed out, he sent in his last $50.00 for a prophecy tape and waited for his word. The word he received was : "This very day things will change." The day he received his tape, he also received a phone call from the television station. The station asked if he would start up his program again, but this time as a paid employee of the station so that his television program would not cost him anything. What a blessing it was for this family in Hawaii!
I have shared this story in order to set the stage on how the Holy Spirit took us through an awesome spiritual journey. Becoming friends with this television minister became a blessing. Eventually, he asked if I would produce a program to be aired on LeSea's Network of television stations. We started our program the first part of 1996 with teachings and prophecies to the viewers. Within a few months, they asked if I would sign a contract placing our program on all eight stations and the satellite LeSea owned. I called PMT's trustees to conduct a meeting regarding this request of LeSea. The board of trustees for PMT talked about the lack of funds and discussed whether we could afford to air a television program. We all agreed this was not a good time to accept LeSea's offer. Just before we were to take a vote, Andrea spoke up and said the Spirit had told her we were to go on all of LeSea's stations. Now you have to know my Andrea to know how remarkable this was; she is a very conservative woman and does not take many risks. However, if she knows she has heard the voice of God to do something, she will not hesitate to do it. All of us in the meeting knew that she had just heard God. Our planning and guessing would not give us the answer we needed to know most: what did God want us to do in this situation? The Lord had sent His messenger just in time and we gave LeSea our answer that day. I immediately called my minister friend in Hawaii who worked for the station and told him we would go on all 8 stations plus the satellite.
