Mass Deliverance Manual

Now, the angelic spirits of God then are ministering spirits for those who shall be the heirs of salvation. Now, of course, you will immediately run into problems with people saying, “hey you can’t fool around with angels, that’s dangerous business.” Now I wonder who started that. “Well we don’t want any angel worship.” We certainly don’t, but I’ll tell you this. Who had command over angels when he was on earth? Did Jesus have it? Could He command angels? Remember in the Garden of Gethsemane, when that soldier took a swipe, reached out and grabbed Jesus, and then Peter grabbed his sword and tried to chop his head off and the guy ducked, and he got his ear. You certainly didn’t think he aimed for his ear, did you? Peter was a better shot than that. But at any rate, remember what Jesus told Peter is so significant. He said, “put away your sword because if I had wanted to I could have called the Father.” And what would have happened? He would have sent angels. So the Lord Jesus had command over angels. Did they minister to Him? Remember in Gethsemane after the tremendous trial he went through where He almost died in the Garden, and He prayed for strength to make it to the cross. Do you remember, it said and angels came and ministered unto Him. Now Jesus had command over angels. Now, who did He give this command to when He left? He is at the right hand of the Father. “Behold I give you power ( delegated authority, power of attorney ) over all the delegated authority of the enemy ( over all the power of the enemy ).” And that power includes the authority to command angels. Now we never under any circumstances worship angels. Don’t forget that. There is never any occasion to worship an angel of any rank. There is never any reason to pray to an angel. You say, well I remember a few times in the Old Testament when men fell down before the Angel of the Lord. Yes, and they were not rebuked for it. Do you know why? Because when that happened, that was Jesus preincarnate. “Pre” means before and “incarnate”-- in the flesh, before He came in the flesh, He made appearances. The Angel of the Lord was the one who appeared to Joshua and took charge of the host. The Angel of the Lord was the one who wrestled with Jacob, and you’ll find the Angel of the Lord making appearance, and when He does, men will pay homage to Him and not be rebuked. You remember Abraham fell down before some angels. They came and said, “get up, we’re just servants.” The angels of God will not accept worship. The other kind you don’t want to fool with. Amen? Now don’t think that the devil’s angels haven’t forgotten how to dress up and look pretty.
