He will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, that you do not strike your foot against a stone.<\/p>\n
\u2013Psalm 91:11\u201312<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
God uses angels to minister to believers. They protect us from physical and spiritual harm. Did you know Satan\u2019s strategy is to cause your premature death? He wants to end your witness for Christ. How does God protect you? Psalm 91:11\u201312 says, \u201cHe will give His angels charge concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, that you do not strike your foot against a stone.\u201d This passage does not promise that you\u2019ll be protected from all harm. But you\u2019re not going to leave this world until God is finished with His plan for you on earth. God uses angels to protect you from premature death.<\/p>\n
God also uses angels to protect us spiritually. As we see in Ephesians 6:12, we\u2019re in a spiritual war. Sometimes the oppression, depression, and temptations in our lives are spiritual attacks. For example, in Daniel 10, Daniel was discouraged and in mourning for three weeks. Finally, an angel appeared and said to him, in essence, \u201cI would have been here earlier, but I was delayed by a demonic force.\u201d I don\u2019t understand all of that, but I do understand that God protects us from demonic warfare through the ministry of angels.<\/p>\n
Does this mean every Christian has a guardian angel assigned to protect them? Theologians have debated this, but ultimately, whether we each have a guardian angel is not important. As John Calvin said, \u201cIf any one does not think it enough to know that all the orders of the heavenly host are perpetually watching for his safety, I do not see what he could gain by knowing that he has one angel as a special guardian.\u201d In other words, the only thing better than having one angel available to us is having a multitude of angels available to us.<\/p>\n
Finally, angels minister to us in death. When our time comes, angels usher us into the presence of God. In Luke 16, Jesus told a story about a righteous poor man and an unrighteous rich man. Jesus said, \u201cThe poor man died and was carried away by the angels to Abraham\u2019s bosom; and the rich man also died and was buried\u201d (v. 22). I can give you countless examples of Christians facing death who have talked about seeing angels to welcome them into the presence of Jesus. You do not have to fear dying alone. God\u2019s angels will usher you into His presence. (Jeffress)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
