I am not happy unless everyone receives the inheritance Jesus provided for us.
Of course the devil would love for you to miss out. Maybe he didn't stop you being saved but now he wants to keep you out of the anointing and out of the supernatural realm, which is your inheritance.
You are no threat to the enemy's kingdom outside of the anointing - it's only the anointing that affects the enemy's camp.
You can run in circles and do whatever good things you can think of - but it's not the good- it's the GOD. Have you ever realized that you can do lots of good stuff and miss GOD?
Well right now there seems to be a lot of controversy about angels- why would anyone think that the angels are not still working in the Kingdom, as they have done all through the Bible and all through the ACTS of the Apostles.
Personally I believe these supernatural things ( including angels) are meant to be a normal part of your life). They are ministering spirits sent to minister to you ( the heirs of salvation) and minister with you. Angels have an important part to play in your life and ministry. Well is this just my opinion then? Well no- here are some scriptures to show you how the angels ministered to people: they bought messages, delivered instructions. prophesied, rebuked a prophet or two, stirred the healing waters, opened prison doors etc etc- so if you have an issue about angels talk to the Author of the Book =- it's all His idea
Angels bring comfort.
When Sarah sent her maid, Hagar, away, an angel was sent to find her, to comfort her and give her a promise concerning her son, and also to give her direction, (to return to Sarah), see Gen. 16).
The second time that Hagar was cast out, the angel again went and spoke to her and comforted her and provided water (Gen. 21). There are many times when distress comes our way and we wake up with the words of a song or hymn going around and around in our mind. "Where did that come from?" you wonder. Sometimes the angels sing you those words or speak scriptures into your ears. Many times this happens as we are waking up, because our mind is less "busy."
Angels are sent to comfort and strengthen you as they did to Jesus, after He was tempted in the wilderness by Satan (Matt.4: 11).
The angel of the Lord was sent to stay Abraham’s hand when he was going to sacrifice his son in Gen.22. Angels carry out the commands of God. As we are in tune with God’s plans, the angels are also helping in the accomplishment of that plan.
Sometimes the Angel brings judgment
In I Chron. 21, the Lord sent His Angel to bring judgment to Israel - to destroy it. The Lord stayed the Angels hand (V.15) and David when he was the Angel standing with a sword between heaven and earth - he and the elders repented. Then the Angel told David to set up an altar to the Lord. The Angel helped David also in his repentance.

The Angels can help you find a spouse?
When Abraham sent his servant to find a wife for Isaac, the angel was sent to go with him (Gen. 24:7). When God sends you out - his angels go with you to help you accomplish the purposes of God. If God instructs you to move to another town or city, the angels will help you sell your house, find another and even help you find a job - they are eager to carry out God’s purpose for your life. I believe we can often hinder the activity of angels by our negative speaking. If God sends His angel to help you receive a healing, you can talk yourself out of it by your negative words.
Breaking through-
Jacob wrestled with the Angel in Gen. 32:24-30, until he got what he wanted in the way of a blessing. He refused to let go until he received something from God. Jesus once said, "The Kingdom of heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force" (Matt.11:12).
There is a time to press through the crowd, like the women who touched the hem of Jesus garment. There are many things that would try and keep you away from that place where you reach out and TOUCH Him. Your adversary, the devil, as a roaring lion, walks about seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). He will make sure there is a good crowd in your life - a crowd is not necessarily a lot of evil things - you can have a good crowd, but it is still a crowd that separates you from the Lord Jesus. Your busy life, TV, sports, hobbies, even good works can prevent you from really being in touch with God. It takes time to sit in His presence and listen to His voice and tell Him how wonderful He is. There are times when Jesus wants your undivided attention, and the crowd in your life will take all of your time. You find you are diverted and distracted from the your real destiny and purpose. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal your crowd to you - then you can push past it all and touch His presence in a wonderful way.
Angels to lead you
An angel was sent to the Children of Israel to lead them out of Egypt in Numbers 1:20.
As you follow the directions of the Lord, He gives His angels charge over us and helps even organize your move from and to your new location, be it church or town.
Angels can prevent you
God sent an angel to stand in the way of Balaam three times when he went with the princes of Moab, although God had forbidden him. While Balaam did not see the angel, the ass did! Sometimes when we pray for our wayward loved ones the Lord sends an angel to protect them from themselves as He did with Balaam.
Angels encourage you
When the Midianites oppressed the children of Israel and made them impoverished God sent an angel to Gideon, while he was trying to hide wheat from the oppressors ( Judg.6).
The angel who came to strengthen Gideon addressed him, "The Lord is with thee thou mighty man of valor." Now Gideon in the natural was certainly no "mighty man of valor," but because the Lord was with him, the whiny, grumbling, complaining man became a mighty man. God’s angels come to remind us of who we are in Christ, and strengthen us. After Jesus had been tempted by the devil in the wilderness, the Bible says the angels came and ministered to him. ( Matthew 4:11) In Him we can be strong and do mighty exploits..
The Angel can find you -
When Elijah ran away from Jezebel threats, the Bible says that he ran a days journey into the desert and fell asleep under a Juniper tree. (1 Kgs.19:5) Feeling sorry for yourself as Elijah did will make you want to curl up and go to sleep. Sleep is good and necessary or our health but it can also be a form of escape. The Angel came and found him, even though he ran so far out of the way. "Arise and eat." The Angel bought him food and water. Guess what? He rose up and ate the cake and drank the water and then he went right back to sleep! (V.6). Once again the Angel touched him and said "Arise and eat...." God is so good to us, He had a work for Elijah to accomplish.
The angel can bring instruction
The angel of the Lord directed Gad to tell David to go to the threshing floor of Ornan and set up an altar to the Lord (1 Chron.21 21). Ornan also saw the angel and allowed David to buy the threshing floor according to the instruction of the angel.
The Angel can destroy the enemy
The angel of the Lord went and smote the camp of the Assyrians, (Isaiah 37:36) but the angel of the Lord encamps or lives round about those who fear Him and in Psalm 35:5, David said, "The angel of the Lord chases those were his enemies." The angel of the Lord ministered to Isaiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel.
Interesting Angelic Interaction
God sent an Angel to interpret Zechariah’s vision of the horses. Then Zechariah witnessed a conversation between the Angel and the Lord, and then further on in Zech 2, the Angel talked with another Angel. The second Angel gave a prophetic word to the first Angel to give to Zechariah. Zechariah had an unusual experience of the activity of Angels
An Angel brings direction to Mary and Joseph
An angel directed Joseph to take Mary as his wife, (Matt 1:24) and later on to take Mary and Jesus to Egypt (Mat.2:19). We must learn to obey the voice of the Holy Spirit when He gives instruction - it can save our lives.
Angels help with healing
The water at the pool of Bethesda was stirred every so often by an angel and healing came to those who stepped into it (John 5:2-4). Many times I have seen the helping to minister in healing meetings.
Angels bring instruction and roll away stones
An angel came and rolled back the stone from the tomb for the two Mary’s and told them of Jesus' resurrection, then instructed them to go and tell the disciples (Matthew 28:2).
The Angels prophesy
Another prophesied the birth of John to Zechariah (Luke 1:13). The Gabriel was sent to Mary to prophesy the birth of the Savior (Luke 1:26-33), and in the next chapter the angels went to the shepherds in the field to announce the birth
Angels can open doors
An angel was sent to open the prison doors for the Apostles in Acts chapter five, and an angel directed Philip to go to Gaza (Acts 8:26). Another angel told Cornelius to send for Peter (Acts 10: 3-6) Peter was released from prison in Acts chapter twelve.
Angels bring protection
An angel gave Paul a message of hope for the people in the ship when he was being taken to Italy, and the ship was in danger (Acts 27:24). The are sent to protect us.
Well there are some scriptures. I have many angel stories of my own - including the revelation angel who came to my house end gave me honey. I am mentioning that because right now I smell such a strong smell of honey. If you are interested the stories, they are in my " Angels watching over you" booklet on my website - and also my new CD set "Faith and Angels" have a lot more teaching about angels and their part in church ( and your) life.
