The Ministry of Angels

Introduction: There is an Angel watching you right now. In fact, you may have entertained an Angel today and not even known it.

“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares” (Heb 13:2).

On the other hand, Satan will disguise ministers as Angels of light.

“And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works” (2Cor 11:14-15).

We must Beware of False teachers. Both Peter and Jude warn believers concerning the danger. The Scriptures reveal that there are good and evil angels.

Some fell following Lucifer.

“And the angels which kept not their first estate, but left their own habitation, he hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness unto the judgment of the great day” (Jude 1:6-7).

Peter wrote, “For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment” (2Pet 2:4).

Paul wrote, “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Eph 6:12).

While we read about evil angels, we can also read about the disembodied spirits that God dispatches for good and His glory.
 
Daniel testifies, “My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions’ mouths, that they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me; and also before thee, O king, have I done no hurt” (Dan 6:22).
 

David said, “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them” (Psa 34:7).

Last, Angels were at the birth, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ. “And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel” (Acts 1:10).

Besides that, Angels will be present at both the Rapture and the second coming of Christ.

“For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first” (1Thess 4:16-17).

“And he shall send his angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they shall gather together his elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other” (Matt 24:31).

Conclusion: Angels are real. They are created beings, disembodied spirit beings, which God uses for His glory. Remember, you are being watched by angels.
