THE LORD GOD IS MY STRENGTH; HE WILL MAKE MY FEET LIKE DEER'S FEET, AND HE WILL MAKE ME WALK ON HIGH HILLS. HABAKKUK 3:19

GOD Is In Control

When we are faithful in seeking the LORD with all our being He in turn is faithful to show up. When I am not in the Word and not focusing on GOD I am not "Logged" into Him. If I am not "Signed In" I don't get to be a part of Him.

I was reading about Angels and their ministry to us. The Heavenlies are filled with Angels of GOD. As I studied deeper about them I was in awe of GOD again. GOD uses these created beings to send messages from Him to us, through our prayers.

The word “angel” actually comes from the Greek word aggelos, which means "messenger." The matching Hebrew word mal'ak has the same meaning.

Sometimes, the Bible uses these words for human beings:

Ordinary people who carry messages (Job 1:14; Luke 7:24; 9:52)
Prophets (Isaiah 42:19; Malachi 3:1)
Priests (Malachi 2:7)
Church leaders (Rev 1:20)

Sometimes, it speaks figuratively of things or events as “messengers”…
The pillar of cloud (Exodus 14:19)
Pestilence or plagues (2 Samuel 24:16-17)

But it usually describes the whole range of spirits whom God has created, including both good and evil angels, and special categories such as cherubim, seraphim, and the archangel.

Angels are mentioned at least 108 times in the Old Testament and 165 times in the New Testament. There is ample information available in Scripture to allow us to build a foundation for our knowledge of angelic beings.

GOD is good, man is He good. He knows how to handle His Kingdom, we don't have to tell Him how to do it, just receive it. His ways are not our sinful ways. He has greater things planned out for us. He made a way for us to be a part of Him through the Blood of Jesus and made Him King over all. Think of it, if it were not for Jesus, the lamb of GOD, we would not be children of GOD. We would be rooting in the muddy waters of our piggish nature.

GOD makes us His number one priority and gives us Angels to guard us. We are His sons and daughters, through Christ. Isn't that just like a King to have his own special creation protecting His family. GOD is big, bigger than any sinful nature that comes upon us. That makes me feel very special.

GOD in His Infinite Mercy Loves Us so much he sends His mighty Angels to walk along side us, who in turn point us to Jesus, our Redeemer, who in turn points us to the the Holy Spirit who gives us revelation of the Word and Power from Heaven. See GOD has it all planned out all we have to do is Trust Him.

I like studying about the life of Jesus. As with Jesus who studied the Torah we should study about our heritage. In studying, I can see why the Isrealites were GOD's chosen people. They lived GOD! Jesus lived the torah, because it was the Breathe of GOD! He did not come to abolish the law but to fulfill it. His Blood has given us freedom from the law of sinful man, and has taken us into a whole new realm, giving us freedom from sin, if we only Believe in Him and Believe His Word is Truth. Praise GOD, I'm FREE.

If you are interested in learning about our ancestors here is a site I found that has a lot of Herbrew songs, which are beautiful. It is, CHABAD.ORG

This is one of my favorite which is sung in the Hebrew language.

Translation:

Peace unto you, ministering angels, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He.

May your coming be in peace angels of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy one, blessed be He.

Bless me with peace, angels of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy one, blessed be He.

May your departure be in peace, angels of peace, messengers of the Most High, of the supreme King of kings, the Holy one, blessed be He.

For He will instruct His angels in your behalf, to guard you in all your ways. The Lord will guard your going and your coming from now and for all time.
