Angels Pt 2

This season is filled with Angels, which we think of simply as messengers

1. Angels are warriors and worshipers
2. Angels are assigned to us, as believers
3. Angels protect us
4. Angels deliver us
5. Angels minister strength to us

Activate your Angels

1. Angels listen for and “heed the voice, or sound of His Word” – Ps 103:20
2. Angels come because of our words – Dan 10:12

We must Confess His Word:  “to say together with”

          Confession is made with the mouth

Angels are waiting to move when they hear the sound of His Word

Today, we look at Angels in relationship to the activity of God 

Luke 2:8-14

Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. 9 And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. 10 Then the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. 11 For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord. 12 And this will be the sign to you: You will find a Babe wrapped in swaddling cloths, lying in a manger."  13 And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God and saying:  

14 "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, goodwill toward men!"

Isa 6:1-4
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a throne, high and lifted up,
and the train of His robe filled the temple. 
2 Above it stood seraphim; each one had six wings: with two he covered his face, with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. 3 And one cried to another and said:
     "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory!"

4 And the posts of the door were shaken by the voice of him who cried out, and the house was filled with smoke.

Angels created a tangible Glory.  How?  “By the voice of him who cried out”  

We have Angels singing, when they are actually “Saying”

Who are they Saying “Holy, holy, holy” to?  Each other!!!

Why is this important?   We must learn to create Glory

When we create Glory, we bring His Presence

          What were the Angel announcing in Luke?  His Presence

Take you to the Tabernacle, which is a copy of things in heaven – Heb 8:5

Ex 25:17-22 
"You shall make a mercy seat of pure gold; two and a half cubits shall be its length and a cubit and a half its width. 18 And you shall make two cherubim of gold; of hammered work you shall make them at the two ends of the mercy seat. 19 Make one cherub at one end, and the other cherub at the other end; you shall make the cherubim at the two ends of it of one piece with the mercy seat.

20 And the cherubim shall stretch out their wings above, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and they shall face one another; the faces of the cherubim shall be toward the mercy seat.

21 You shall put the mercy seat on top of the ark, and in the ark you shall put the Testimony that I will give you. 22 And there I will meet with you, and I will speak with you from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are on the ark of the Testimony, about everything which I will give you in commandment to the children of Israel.

Where we create Glory, He will meet us & speak to us – Presence

“Between the wings”

Our wings are our mouths

Matt 18:19-20

Again I say to you that if two of you agree (sound together) on earth about anything that they ask, it will be done (come into existence) for them by My Father who is in heaven.  20 For where there are two or three gathered together in My name,

There I AM in their midst.  IISB

I AM THAT I AM – I AM WHO I AM – I exist, I become – I exist to become

I will be what I have been – what I have been to your fathers…

I will be what I will be                    

I AM WHO I AM and I will become what I want to become

“I AM” will meet us where we sound together & create the glory!

He will become whatever we need Him to become

What is our Glory sound?  What are we “Saying” to one another?

Hint:  What are we seated on?  – Mercy Seat

2 Chron 5:13-14

Indeed it came to pass, when the trumpeters and singers were as one, to make one sound to be heard in praising and thanking the Lord, and when they lifted up their voice with the trumpets and cymbals and instruments of music, and praised the Lord, saying:

"For He is good, For His mercy endures forever,"

that the house, the house of the Lord, was filled with a cloud, 14 so that the priests could not continue ministering because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord filled the house of God.

2 Chron 20:21-23

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed those who should sing to the Lord, and who should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army and were saying:

"Praise the Lord, For His mercy endures forever."

22 Now when they began to sing and to praise, the Lord set ambushes against the people of Ammon, Moab, and Mount Seir, who had come against Judah; and they were defeated.

1 Chron 16:37 & 41

 So he left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord to minister before the ark regularly, as every day's work required

41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun and the rest who were chosen, who were designated by name, to give thanks to the Lord, because His mercy endures forever.

When we produce Glory, we put ourselves in the place of the Miraculous 

What’s under the Mercy Seat?

Heb 9:4

1. The golden pot that had the manna,
2. Aaron's rod that budded, and
3. The tablets of the covenant;

We're sitting on Mercy & Miracles

If we just "Sound Together" to create His Glory & His Presence

"O give thanks to the LORD, for He is good, and His mercy endures forever!"
