Hebrews 13:1-2 CSB
Let brotherly love continue. [2] Don’t neglect to show hospitality, for by doing this some have welcomed angels as guests without knowing it.
Be smart about it when you do. Be wise as a serpent, but harmless as a dove. Meaning use wisdom and show kindness. However, always be alert to what is going on around you at all times. If you feel uneasy, it’s probably not from God. ————
Genesis 32:1 AMP
Then as Jacob went on his way, the angels of God met him [to reassure and protect him].
When we put our trust in God. He always goes before us to prepare the way. Also, in several, if not all of the cases, He also sends His messengers/angels with us. Especially, when we don’t even realize until afterwards. ————–
Psalm 91:11-12 CSB
For he will give his angels orders concerning you, to protect you in all your ways. [12] They will support you with their hands so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
Did you notice…He – God Almighty, gives His angels a charge or orders (like a military order) to protect you in all your ways? Oh, Praise the Lord! —————
Revelation 5:11-12 ERV
Then I looked, and I heard the voices of many angels. The angels were around the throne, the four living beings, and the elders. There were thousands and thousands of angels—10,000 times 10,000 (equals = 100 million angels). [12] The angels said in a loud voice, “All power, wealth, wisdom, and strength belong to the Lamb who was killed. He is worthy to receive honor, glory, and praise!”
Angels are drawn to praise and worship of the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ the Son. If you want angels to be around you (even though you normally don’t see them with your physical eyes). Then fill your hearts and minds with praise and worship to our God. Give thanks to the Lord for His angels surrounding you everywhere you go. ————–
Notice that Jesus had angels ministering to Him after the temptation in the wilderness. They obviously, were with Him continually. They were even present when He gave Himself over to the will of the Father in paying for our sins, sicknesses, diseases, and the curse of the law – on the cross. But He had them stand down (not engage), as He willingly submitted to the Father. But if He wanted He could have called and legions of angels would have been there to rescue Him.
Matthew 26:53 AMP
Do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? (A Roman legion at that time was 6,000 soldiers. So Jesus just said, He had MORE THAN 72,000 angels waiting for His Word and they would IMMEDIATELY respond. However, for the sake of our salvation, He did not activate them, to come to His aide. Instead, He endured the cross and took all of our shame on Himself.)
Philippians 2:7-11 CSB
Instead he emptied himself by assuming the form of a servant, taking on the likeness of humanity. And when he had come as a man, [8] he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death— even to death on a cross. [9] For this reason God highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, [10] so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow— in heaven and on earth and under the earth— [11] and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Hebrews 12:2 CSB
keeping our eyes on Jesus, the source (Author) and perfecter (Finisher) of our faith. For the joy that lay before him, he endured the cross, despising the shame, and sat down at the right hand of the (Father on the) throne of God. (We are joint-heirs with Jesus Christ and positional – speaking, we are seated with Him at the right hand of the Father.) Eph 2:6 ——————-
Oh hallelujah! My friends, “Angels” are messengers of God. They are ready to be dispatched at a moments notice (for example…in prayer – Thank You Father for sending Your angels to protect me and my family, in Jesus name.) They are not to be praised, worshiped, or sought after for the sake of seeking. Instead, they love being in the presence of those who worship and give glory to God. So worship the Lord and be blessed and protected in Him and by His presence and angelic forces surrounding you.
