Body Ministry
There is a distribution problem when it comes to the gifts recorded in Romans 12. We need to know what our specific calling is. Too many people try to do all the gifts listed, and that’s not good for them, their ministry, or for the people they are ministering to. If we try to work in a gift that is not ours, we have the potential to cause people to question God’s power to help them. Something must not be working correctly if there is no power manifesting.
We also run the risk of neglecting our gifts by trying to move in something we shouldn’t. People may come to us for help in one situation, and we can’t do anything for them if we are spending too much time in an area we should leave for someone else to move in. Know your calling, and walk out your destiny to the best of your ability.
The Spiritual Gifts of God are Irrevocable
Once you have received a spiritual gift, something else happens that we haven’t really been made aware of in traditional church teachings. When you are given a gift, an angel is also given to you to minister for you. (See Hebrews 1:14) Gifts and angels are given to us for many reasons – protection, guidance, direction, and for help in fulfilling our destinies.
There are many people called of God, out there walking out there calling, but they lack one major ingredient. It is the gift and the calling that makes the difference, because it’s the gift that establishes the calling. This video message deals with the gifts of the Holy Spirit and how angels of God work hand in hand with us in order to establish us in our callings.
Sending Out Your Angel
There are many reasons why God is sending out His angels to minister for His people. In Hebrews 1:14, we see that they are sent out to minister for us. With all that is going on in the world today we can see the need to have the individual assistance of an angel to help us get through all that is ahead of us.
When you find out the plan of God, then what do you do? You begin to step out and do what He said to do. You get into the obedience of God. During that process, your angel is helping to make the way for you to accomplish all God has for you to do. When you see things begin to happen, you will know you’re in the right river and you’re flowing right in the middle of it.
This video message has personal testimonies along with live ministering in gifts of healing and prophecy.
Messengers of God
Angels are messengers of God. They have power in the spiritual realm to do a lot more than what you think can be done. It will benefit us to study angels, remembering that they are mentioned many times throughout the bible. They are God’s messengers, and we need to recognize how to hear them, recognize their presence, and that they can even take on a fleshly form to help us in our natural situations.
Judging Angels
“Do you not know that the saints will judge the world? And if the world will be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Do you not know that we shall judge angels? How much more, things that pertain to this life?” (1 Corinthians 6:2-3)
This topic deals with knowing what spirit has attached itself to an individual and to know the power that every Christian has in order to have victory over our enemies. In every group of Christians, there needs to be a gatekeeper, or someone who can rightly judge the spirits around them. We are to test the spirits, because not every spirit is of Jesus.
Angel of the Lord
Angels are sent to those who are to inherit salvation. When you look through the scriptures, you come to realize that the saying, “the angel of the Lord” is almost identical to saying, “the spirit of the Lord”. When an angel appears during situations recorded in the bible, we are told that it was also a manifestation of the Spirit.
How does that angel minister to us? Sometimes they take on human form to help us. Moses saw the angel of the Lord IN the burning bush. You can’t limit the form of an angel, but it is the manifestation that identifies whether it’s an angel or the Spirit.
Discerning Spirits
Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be ignorant: You know that you were Gentiles, carried away to these dumb idols, however you were led. Therefore I make known to you that no one speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed, and no one can say that Jesus is Lord except by the Holy Spirit.
I Corinthians 12:1-3
What gifts has the Holy Spirit entrusted with you? Everyone who is born again has received at least one gift from God our Father. Do you have the gift of discernment?
Do not neglect the gift that is in you, which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the eldership. Meditate on these things; give yourself entirely to them, that your progress may be evident to all.
I Timothy 4:14,15
Encountering Angels
We journeyed to Cleburne, Texas to minister at Calvary Chapel Baptist Church. Pastor John Hagen, the pastor of this congregation, is an old friend of mine. He has brought this congregation to a place now where they believe in Holy Spirit for today.
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some have unwittingly entertained angels.
The time had come for the people to experience the power of prophecy and know more about the angelic host of God. Sharing many testimonies of my encounters as well as scriptures helped in their unbelief. All in all, the time was sweet and we were accepted.
Many received a word of knowledge and prophecy. A few of PMT’s graduates were in the congregation and were asked to come forward and prophesy. Their words were truly from God and the people were blessed to see that the gift can be imparted to another; as recorded in First Timothy 4:14.
Understanding that when our Lord Jesus sends us His word, it is deliver by one of His messengers, an angel.
Understanding that when our Lord Jesus sends us His word, it is deliver by one of His messengers, an angel. Recognizing that angels are appointed unto us to minister for us was a real eye opener. Reading from Hebrews 1:13,14, the Bible makes it clear that God assigns these angels to administer spiritual gifts for those who are His.
You may want to look up these verses and let God speak to you about His truth and the Angelic army warring on our behalf.
Creation by Revelation
By faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that the things which are seen were not made of things which are visible.
Hebrews 11:3
Nothing exists today that was not first spoken into existence. That’s right, nothing you see around you was created by man except it was first a Word from God and His Word comes in many various forms. He can speak to you audibly or to your spirit; Spirit to spirit (ref. Romans 8:16).
…even Pharaoh was raised up to demonstrate God’s power in all the earth.
We cannot begin to count the number of ways God can deliver His Word. Even people who do not believe in His existence are used as pawns to do God’s will. In the Bible, it says that even Pharaoh was raised up to demonstrate God’s power in all the earth. The same Pharaoh who enslaved the children of Israel and later wanted to kill them. (see: Romans 9:17)
…even Pharaoh was raised up to demonstrate God’s power in all the earth.
No one should ever despise prophecy. It could be the very Word of God that will change your circumstances and prosper you in heath, wealth and help you keep a sound mind.
I Thessalonians 5:20
When it comes to prophecy, the same equations are in effect, when the prophecy is a true Word from God. One Word from God can change you life forever. Angels from heaven play a large part in seeing His Word come to pass. When a true prophecy is given, the angels of the Lord go and begin to do His Word.
Bless the Lord, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.
Psalms 103:20
His Ministering Spirits
What are all the angels for? We need to realize that angels are given to us in order to instruct us. A lot of the prophetic operates this way. Angels were used this way frequently in the Old Testament, and it is the same today. They bring the word so we can receive that word, and fulfill it.
God has an ultimate purpose for the angelic host! They have a work to do, just like us.
“Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for those who will inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14
