How God Uses His Angels for Deliverance
The ministry of angels is evident throughout
Scripture.
Angels are "ministering spirits sent out to minister to those who will
inherit salvation" (Hebrews 1:14).
As Christians, we should rejoice like the
angels when people give their lives to the Lord. We should appreciate that
there are "innumerable"
angels in heaven, and each has an assignment from God (Hebrews 12:22).
Some angels stand in the presence of God at
all times (Revelation 8:2).
Others protect the children of God (Psalm 91:11).
Some have participated in physical battles on
earth as 2 Kings 19:35 illustrates. Angels were used by God to slay the
Assyrian army.
An angel went to Daniel to tell him of his
answered prayers during his fast. This angel fought a battle in the heavens and
was reinforced by Michael the archangel to go to Daniel and reveal future
events.
God used angels to close the mouth of the
lions and wage spiritual warfare in the heavens.
They attend to our aid as they did to Elijah
in 1 Kings 19:5-8 and to Jesus in Matthew 4:11 and Luke 23:43.
Angels can also help during deliverance
ministry. I became aware of this once while I was in the middle of a
deliverance session for a young woman who claimed to be a Satanist.
We used every spiritual weapon we could such
as praise, worship and Scripture as we took authority over each evil spirit.
As we prayed for her, I would prophetically
know the sin that was committed needing repentance.
The anointing of the Holy Spirit was evident.
I was aware of what He was doing as well as the angelic realm around us during
this spiritual battle.
Leading her in renouncing each sin, we cast
the demonic spirits out one by one. At a certain point, a demon started mocking
us. I asked the Lord to have His angels silence and deal with this spirit, and
it immediately stopped.
This young woman gave her life to Jesus. She
then received the wonderful baptism of the Holy Spirit that night.
Another time I was aware of angels and their
ministry during a deliverance service in which I was about to preach.
A young man stomped out of the room during
worship. My concerned staff followed him and then came to get me.
This young man was agitated during worship
and showed threatening behavior. At first I asked if I could pray with him. But
the boldness of God fell on me and I commanded him to return to the service. We
would pray over him after the message is preached.
At the end of the service, the young man came
up to us. Written on his hand were three names combined as one. He said this
came to him during the message. My staff member and I immediately knew this
name was demonic.
Under the anointing of the Holy Spirit we
prayed over him. He crumpled to the floor as the demons fought for control.
We led him in repentance and renunciation. We
asked the Lord to have His angels intervene during this time at several points
of the deliverance.
At one point, the young man had a childlike
voice speak out of him asking for help. We led him in prayer. After he was
completely free, we prayed over him and he was filled with the Holy Spirit.
After this he got up and shared with us how
he saw himself like a little child in a dark room, but a door opened and Jesus
walked in bringing light to every corner of the room.
All he remembered was the vision he received
and being filled with the Holy Spirit. We rejoiced with him.
We can take joy in knowing that angels help during
deliverance ministry.
At the great end-times harvest, angels will
be used by God to "gather out of His
kingdom all things that offend, and those who do evil and will throw them into
a fiery furnace." (Matthew 13:41-42).
In
this spiritual war, there are no fence-sitters – you are either on the Lords’
victorious army or on the wicked “Powers” of Satan.
Ensure
you’re enlistment on the victorious army of the Lord. Settle that sin issue right now by saying
this prayer:
“Father God, I confess I am a sinner and my sins have separated me from
You.
I am truly sorry. I now want to turn away from my past sinful life and
live a new life pleasing to You.
Please forgive me, and help me avoid sinning again.
I believe that Your Son, Jesus Christ died for my sins, was resurrected
from the dead, is alive, and hears my prayer.
I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my
heart from this day forward.
Please send Your Holy Spirit to help me obey You, and to do Your will for
the rest of my life. Thank you, Lord, that according to Your Word, I am born
again. I promise to obey You and study your Word – the Bible.
Use me for Your glory.
In Jesus' Name I pray. Amen.”

lyrics
I
hear angels singing praises
I see men from ev'ry nation
Bowing down before the throne
Like the sound of many waters
Like the rushing wind around us
Multitudes join the song
I see men from ev'ry nation
Bowing down before the throne
Like the sound of many waters
Like the rushing wind around us
Multitudes join the song
Pre-chorus:
And a symphony of praise arises
Tears are wiped away from eyes
As men from every tongue
and tribe all sing
And a symphony of praise arises
Tears are wiped away from eyes
As men from every tongue
and tribe all sing
Chorus:
Holy holy, God Almighty
Who was, who is and is to come
All the angels are crying "holy"
To the lamb who sits upon the throne
Holy holy, God Almighty
Who was, who is and is to come
All the angels are crying "holy"
To the lamb who sits upon the throne
I
see one who's full of wonder
Eyes of fire and voice of thunder
Shining bright his majesty
All the colors of the rainbow
Circle him and fill his temple
So beautiful this is to me
Eyes of fire and voice of thunder
Shining bright his majesty
All the colors of the rainbow
Circle him and fill his temple
So beautiful this is to me
[Repeat
Pre-chorus]
[Repeat
Chorus]
To
the lamb who sits upon the throne
