The Wonderful Angel |
Judges 13:18 This intriguing encounter occurred during one of Israel’s periods of apostasy and servitude, when the people had been ruled for 40 years by the pagan Philistines. There was one godly couple in the tribe of Dan, however, who evidently had long been praying for a son, and God finally answered their prayers. “The angel of the LORD” came to give the good news to Manoah and his wife. The remarkable son who was to come was mighty Samson, who later would free his people. But it is the Angel Himself who is most intriguing here. His name was “Secret,” meaning “too marvelous even to comprehend.” The same word is translated “Wonderful” in Isaiah 9:6, where it is cited as a name of the coming divine Son, whose name would also be “mighty God” and “everlasting Father.” This “angel of the LORD” was thus none other than God the Son in one of His rare pre-incarnate appearances, or theophanies, when the => | <= invisible God manifested Himself visibly to man. There are many created angels (Hebrews 12:22), when the invisible God manifested Himself visibly to man. There are many created angels (Hebrews 12:22), or “messengers,” of God, but on certain occasions, this One who is called “the angel of the LORD” (also “the angel of his presence,” as in Isaiah 63:9, and “the Angel which redeemed me,” as in Genesis 48:16), is clearly none other than God Himself. In such cases, it could only have been the pre-incarnate Christ, for the Bible says: “No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him” (John 1:18). God had already revealed Himself in this way to great men of God, and now even to an unknown couple. Eventually this Angel, whose name is Wonderful, “was made flesh, and dwelt among us” (John 1:14), and will one day dwell with His people forever (Revelation 21:3).

Angels: God’s Secret Agents
“The Apostle Peter was imprisoned and was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, 'Arise up quickly.' And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, 'Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals.' And so he did. And he saith unto him, 'Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me'.”
Acts 12:6-8; Psalm 22:19-21; Daniel 6:22 1-16-21, I am sharing this excerpt from Billy Graham’s 1975 book as it is a faith building report of instances of recorded and documented events where the Lord sent His holy angels to protect His chosen. Chapter 1: Billy Graham, 1975: “I did this biblical study on angels believing this subject is very relevant. As I searched libraries and bookstores, I was surprised to find many volumes on Satan … who is a fallen angel … but nothing on God’s good angels. Although I did find that John Calvin said, “Angels are the dispensers and administrators of the divine beneficence toward us. They regard our safety, undertake our defense, direct our ways and exercise a constant solicitude that no evil befall us.” | A missionary in China shared the truths of the Lord Jesus with an illiterate Chinese mother who had never seen a Bible. The missionary told her that ‘Jesus is able to help you when you’re in trouble.’ There came a time when the woman was about to be attacked by a tiger. In her fear she cried out, ‘Oh Jesus, help me!’ The ferocious beast, instead of attacking suddenly turned and ran away! Was there an angel standing by? Another event as recorded in Readers Digest happened to a celebrated Philadelphia neurologist, Dr. S. W. Mitchell. He had gone to bed after a very tiring day when suddenly he was awakened by a deeply upset little girl knocking on his door who asked him to come with her as her mother was very sick. It was a cold and snowy night but the doctor dressed and followed her. Arriving at the home of the mother who was desperately ill with Pneumonia … he arranged for her care and complimented the woman for the persistence. | Psalm 91:11 11 "For God will command His angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways;" Psalm 103:20 "Praise the LORD, you His angels, you mighty ones who do His bidding, who obey His word." Matthew 18:10 10 Jesus about children: "See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven." Luke 15:10 10 "In the same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents." Luke 13:3 _______ Note: If God protected His servants in the past ... surely He'll do it in the present. And hopefully President Trump is one of His faithful servants who is protected. |

Hymn: 'Angel's Band'
Jesus said, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man." ... "For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways."
7-23-20, This song about angels and our immortal home could be about when God's born again believers are taken alive in the rapture or when we stop breathing on this earth. Comforting.

The Hymn 'Angel's Band'
Originally titled "My Latest Sun Is Sinking Fast"
Written by Jefferson Hascall and lyrics added by J. W. Dadmun in 1860
My latest sun is sinking fast, my race is nearly run
My strongest trials now are past, my triumph has begun
Oh, come angel band, come and around me, stand
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear my longing heart to Him
Who bled and died for me
Whose blood now cleanses from all sin
And gives me victory
Oh, come angel band, come and around me, stand
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home
Oh, bear me away on your snow white wings
To my immortal home.

Ways Angels Function on Our Behalf
***
“An angel went down at a certain season into the pool, and troubled the water: whosoever then first after the troubling of the water stepped in was made whole of whatsoever disease he had.”

8-31-19, * -- Angels are a very real part of the spirit realm. They are constantly functioning on our behalf fighting and warring for us; the Lord commissions angels on our behalf. There will be times God will send angels to minister to us; many are sensitive enough to be aware of it.
When Jesus was in the garden, He was ministered to by the angels. (Luke 22:41-43). After His days in the wilderness, angels also came and ministered to Him there (Matt. 4:11). Many Christians have testified that they have been ministered to by angels [1]; they can:
- help minister cleansing and purging (Isa. 6:6-7)
- assist in the healing ministry (John 5:4)
- help bring breakthrough and deliverance (Ps. 34:7; Acts 5:19, 12:7)
- help bring guidance and direction (Acts 5:20, 8:26)
- be used by God to administer judgment (Acts 12:23)
- bring prophetic direction and assurance in difficult situations (Acts 27:23-24)
- bring divine protection from evil and danger (Ps. 91:11)
- deliver a word or message from God (Matt. 1:20; Luke 1:13; Rev. 1:1)
- appear in dreams (Matt. 2:13)
- appear in visions (Acts 10:3)
- manifest in human form (Heb. 13:2)

Famous NFL Quarterback Now Playing MLBaseball for the NY Mets - Tough first game in Spring Training

PORT ST. LUCIE Florida Spring Training — Tim Tebow's first major league action in the NY Mets’ 8-7 spring training win over the Red Sox at First Data Field before a sellout crowd of 6,538. He hasn't played baseball since high school twelve years ago. Go ahead, make all the Tebow-doesn’t-belong jokes you want, but say this for the Mets’ grand Tebow experiment and marketing scheme: The hulking Tebow is making baseball fun again.
In his first outing as designated hitter ... striking out looking twice and making a base-running mistake, getting doubled off first with the bases loaded and no out on a line drive to second. His only path to first was being hit by a pitch. Tim did get baseball’s first recorded standing ovation for hitting into that double play, but, hey, a run scored on the play.

Tim Tebow Foundation | Bringing Faith, Hope and Love
Our mission is to bring Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need.
Note: I for one will be rooting for the Mets this year as our brother in Christ, Tim Tebow, will be sharing our Lord Jesus with everyone he can. He needs our prayers. -- Annette

Car Fell on Stephen Parker, Fifty Pound Eight Year Old 'JT' Said, 'Angels helped me.'
Steven said: "I yelled to J.T. on the other side of the car, 'Jack it up quick! Jack it up quick! I couldn't move at all. I was totally trapped and then I passed out. It was all in his hands, and I thought, 'This is it. There's no way he can jack up this car because it took my 17-year-old son and I both to jack it up the first time."
Despite weighing only 50 pounds JT was able to operate the jack as the car slowly started raising off his father. "It was just a miracle," said Stephen, who was home two days after the accident.
After settling back at home, Stephen asked JT to jack up the car again – he couldn't do it. When JT was asked how he had the strength to save his father? He answered:
"Angels."
