What You Need to Know About Angelic Watchers
JENNIFER LECLAIRE
Angels have many
functions, from protecting to providing, but angelic watchers are roaming the
earth on assignment—and have been through the ages.
Angels
don't often carry names in the Bible, but they are called out by function,
purpose or operation.
The book of
Revelation speaks of
- an angel who has power of fire (Revelation 14:18), as well as
- an angel of the waters (Revelation 16:5),
- an angel who binds Satan (Revelation 20:1-2) and
- an angel of the abyss (Revelation 9:11).
Where
does the concept of watcher angels come in?
We see watcher
angels many times in the Bible. They are often seen observing.
Let's look at a
few examples in Scripture:
"I say to you, whoever confesses Me before men,
him will the Son of Man also confess before the angels of God. But he who
denies Me before men will be denied before the angels of God"
(Luke 12:8-9).
"Likewise, I tell you, there is joy in the
presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents"
(Luke 15:10).
"For I think that God has exhibited us, the
apostles, last, as if we were sentenced to death. For we have been made a
spectacle to the world, to angels and to men"
( 1 Corinthians 4:9).
"Without question, great is the mystery of
godliness: God was revealed in the flesh, justified in the
Spirit, seen by angels, preached to the Gentiles, believed on in
the world, taken up into glory" (1Timothy 3:16).
"I command you before God and the Lord Jesus
Christ and the elect angels that you observe these things without prejudice,
doing nothing by partiality ( " (1Timothy 5:21).
"It was revealed to them that they were not
serving themselves but you, concerning the things which are now reported to you
by those who have preached the gospel to you through the Holy Spirit, who was
sent from heaven—things into which the angels desire to look" (1 Peter 1:12).
Those
are just a few examples of watcher angels worth noting in the Bible. But why
are they watching? They are waiting for an assignment.
They are ready to
hearken to the voice of God's word (see Psalm 103).
They are available to reap
the harvest, to deliver people from danger, to communicate a message and more.
Angels
are holy and seek to do God's will. You can grieve angels with your words and
deeds just as you can grieve the Holy Spirit.
Wherever you go
and whatever you do, remember angels are watching—they want to help you do
God's will in the season of abundant harvest.
The
Lord is releasing angels of abundant harvest.
