Open Heaven 6 December 2022 TOPIC: The Ministry Of Angels I
Memorise: And God’s anger was
kindled because he went: and the angel of the Lord stood in the way for an
adversary against him. Now he was riding upon his ass, and his two servants
were with him. Numbers 22:22 (KJV)
READ: Exodus 14:15-27 (KJV)
15 And the Lord said unto Moses, Wherefore criest thou unto me? speak unto
the children of Israel, that they go forward:
16 But lift thou up thy rod, and stretch out thine hand over the sea, and
divide it: and the children of Israel shall go on dry ground through the midst
of the sea.
17 And I, behold, I will harden the hearts of the Egyptians, and they shall
follow them: and I will get me honour upon Pharaoh, and upon all his host, upon
his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
18 And the Egyptians shall know that I am the Lord, when I have gotten me
honour upon Pharaoh, upon his chariots, and upon his horsemen.
19 And the angel of God, which went before the camp of Israel, removed and
went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face, and
stood behind them:
20 And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel;
and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these:
so that the one came not near the other all the night.
21 And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the Lord caused the
sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night, and made the sea dry land,
and the waters were divided.
22 And the children of Israel went into the midst of the sea upon the dry
ground: and the waters were a wall unto them on their right hand, and on their
left.
23 And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the
sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen.
24 And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the Lord looked unto the
host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled
the host of the Egyptians,
25 And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that
the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the Lord fighteth
for them against the Egyptians.
26 And the Lord said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that
the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon
their horsemen.
27 And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the Lord overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.
Open Heaven 6 December 2022 MESSAGE:
Hebrews 1:13-14 says that angels are ministering spirits. They are sent to
minister to those of us who are heirs of salvation. Once you we born again, at
least one angel is allocated to follow you everywhere you go. He is to follow
you so that he can protect, assist and defend you. The angel will also monitor
your actions and report your activities to God.

It is a beautiful thing to have an angel with you everywhere you go.
Whenever the enemies think they have gotten you, your angel can just simply
take you out of their hold when they have gone to sleep (Acts 5:17-25, Acts
12:5-11). Even if you come face to face with lions, an angel will
shut their mouths so that they don’t harm you (Daniel 6:19-22).
With an angel with you everywhere you go, you have the best security in the
universe because angels are really strong. The first time you see an angel of
God, the first thing he will tell you is, “Fear not”, because you would really
be frightened.
What you get from an angel is determined by whose side you are on. If you are
on God’s side, the angel will work for you; if you are not, the angel can block
your way so that everything you try to do would just be hitting a brick wall.
In Numbers 22:21-35, we read about Balaam who God
told not to go with Balak when the latter called for the prophet. Balaam
insisted that he wanted to go. An angel blocked the way and was ready to kill
him because the Bible says God’s anger was kindled against him. If a demon is
blocking your way, you can tell it to get out and it would leave, but if an
angel stands in your way and you tell him to go, he would ask, “In whose name?”
If you say, “In Jesus’ name”, he will say, “It is Jesus that asked me to stand
here” and there would be no way to move forward from there. If you don’t want
an angel to stand in your way, you had better not annoy God.
It was an angel that ensured that the Egyptians did not get close to the
Israelites all night so that they could be drowned in the morning. The angel
was rescuing the Israelites while simultaneously pushing the Egyptians towards
death. Do not displease God; surrender your life to Jesus and live a holy life
so that God’s angels will work in your favour.

Angels will work for you if you are on God’s side but against you if you
are living in sin.
Open Heaven 6 December 2022 HYMN 2: Conquerors And Overcomers Now Are We
1 Conquerors and overcomers now are we,
Thro’ the precious blood of Christ we’ve victory,
If the Lord be for us, we can never fail;
Nothing ‘gainst his mighty pow’r can e’er prevail.
Refrain:
Conquerors are we, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood;
God will give us victory, thro’ the blood, thro’ the blood,
Thro’ the Lamb for sinners slain,
Yet who lives and reigns again,
More than conquerors are we,
More than conquerors are we.
2 In the name of Israel’s God we’ll onward press,
Overcoming sin and all unrighteousness;
Not to us, but unto him the praise shall be,
For salvation and for blood-bought victory.
3 Unto him that overcometh shall be giv’n
Here to eat of hidden manna sent from heav’n;
Over yonder he the victor’s palm shall bear,
And a robe of white, and golden crown shall wear.
