God Still Sends Angels!
FROM OUR FORTHCOMING NEWEST BOOK!
God Still Sends Angels!
“And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, And prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the devil, and satan, which deceiveth the whole world. He was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast
out with him” (Revelation 12:7-9).
God will speak to us, protect us and provide for us through angelic visitations. Over 280 times from Genesis to Revelation the Bible talks about angelic visitations. A lot of the prophets of old had angelic visitations. We will look at some of those angelic visitations, then Doc Yeager will share with you some of the Amazing Angelic visitations that he personally has experienced, with the stories of other believers.
Prologue: Heavenly Angelic Host
Thunder boomed, lightning flashed, and a multitude of voices singing praises roared like the flood of many rushing waters. Activity was everywhere. Angels ascended and descended to the earth on an invisible super highway, a stairway to heaven. Some of the returning angels brought with them humans that had just passed away, who only moments before breathed their last breath on planet earth. They were the blood-washed redeemed, those who had believed and who had gladly received the free gift of salvation. They had purified themselves with the Word and the Spirit of God, even as Jesus himself is pure. What a blessed homecoming it is for those who had labored in the harvest fields of the world and now were coming home into the joy of their reward and salvation!
Such rejoicing and excitement has never been seen on the earth. There was tearful celebration as the new arrivals reunited with previous acquaintances and loved ones who had gone on before them. Wives hugged former husbands and children greeted their parents. Brothers and sisters in Christ, close friends and companions all reunited after a separation that seemed like an eternity. So was and is the blessed promise of those who believe and live a life of obedience to the Lord Jesus. Heaven is like a huge Grand Central Station, the arrival depot and departing place for angels headed into combat and conflict on the earth.
Many of the angels wear impressive armor, their swords hanging in sheaths at their sides, helmets placed upon their heads or under their arms, and shields swung over their shoulders. There is a constant flow of these angelic warriors. A river of angelic beings heading to and from that little planet where men are born and where men die, the place where human’s eternal destiny hangs in the balance and is determined by their own free will.
Earth is the place where in the spirit-realm battles are being fought continually. There is no such thing as a cease-fire or a truce, for the lives of men, women, girls, and boys of every nation, culture, and language are constantly in the balance.
Some of these angels are the mighty warriors assigned to those who are to be the heirs of salvation. Included in this number are the ministering spirits who take upon the form of natural men. They are sent forth to walk in the midst of humanity fulfilling specific divine missions as the Lord of Host gives them orders. At times they help the desperate by giving encouragement in the time of need or by rescuing those threatened with certain death. Other times they give words of coming destruction so that God’s people might escape from certain judgment; just like the two angels that were sent to the Jordan valley to lead Abraham’s nephew, Lot, away from the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, because they were to be destroyed.
These are only a few of the spiritual beings. Each one was created for a specific task. Even as Eloheem created a wide variety of the fowl of the air and fish in the waters, so there is a great variety of heavenly beings, multitudes beyond counting. The Almighty is a God of variety. He takes no pleasure in a production line, cookie-cutter type of operation. Rather, He enjoys variety, diversity, different personalities, and types of life. It is evident that there is no limit to His creativity and ingenuity. It has not even entered into the heart or mind of man that which God has already created or will create in the future for those who love Him. The comprehension of man’s limited intelligence cannot grasp the awesomeness of the ability and limitlessness of their Creator.
The relationship that God and His angels have is not one of a dictator with slaves. Rather, their service is one that is performed of their own free will. It is one of absolute love and devotion. The joy and pleasure of their hearts are to fulfill the divine purpose for which they were created. There is no mistake in the fact that the foundation of their devotion is built upon God’s love for them. He respects and provides for His creation, like a father does for his children.
Angels are not at all as humans have preconceived them to be. There is definitely no comparing true heavenly beings to cupids—little angels in baby diapers with wings, shooting arrows of love out of tiny bows. This is the image that the adversary of God ( the devil) has presented to man in order to belittle those who overcame satan’s army and would not follow his perverted mutiny.
In reality, there are many angels that are beyond human description or understanding. Then there are the cherubim, who stand before the presence of the Almighty continually. Their appearance is like that of a man, and their feet are like a calf’s. They have four wings, two like those of an eagle on each side, and under their wings are arms and hands like a man. They also have four faces: the face of a man in the front, the face of a lion on the right, the face of an ox on the left, and the face of an eagle in the back. All day and all night they cry, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty.”
There are also the mighty seraphim with flaming swords. They are God’s divine Green Berets. When Adam and Eve were ushered out of the Garden of Eden because of the seed of sin that had entered their hearts, God placed two seraphim at the gate to keep man from partaking of the Tree of Life, which was in the midst of the garden. If man would have partaken he would have remained in his sinful condition without any possible avenue of redemption like the angels who left their first estate; in which there is no possibility of salvation for them.
Then there are those in charge of the armies of heaven. These are called archangels, the two mightiest of whom are Michael and Gabriel. They are not only in charge over many squadrons of angels, but they are trusted, tried and true servants of the Most High. Michael and Gabriel most certainly proved themselves in the great celestial war in the pre-Adamic time (the luciferian Age) when they boldly stood against lucifer and his damnable mutiny.
The spiritual world is a much superior level of existence than the material realm, just as the material realm is greater than the microscopic world. The fact that the microscopic realm cannot be detected by the natural eye does not in any way prove that it does not exist. Neither does it mean that because you cannot see it, there must be no importance pertaining to it. It is absolutely the contrary. It is proven by the majority of the time, the medical community concentrates its studies to the world that is invisible to the naked human eye. It is a realm that has great negative or positive effects on the health and welfare of the physical part of man.
Likewise in the realm of the spirit, from which all things that exist have their origin, the effects and influences that are exerted upon the physical world by the spiritual are almost unbelievable. There are constant battles and conflicts, head-on collisions of good and evil, that man cannot see. It is a fight and struggle to control the ultimate destiny of the souls of men. While men ignore the existence of these struggles, they themselves are to a great extent a product of these inaudible voices that they harken to—the unseen forces of hell and heaven. To the devil and his forces, men are pawns upon the chessboard of life. But to God, they are precious, valuable souls in need of salvation.
The Spirit of God communicates with man through his conscience. But the satanic world works through the five senses: touch, taste, sight, smell, and hearing, in addition to the intellect of the mind of man which has become darkened.
The angelic realm, the divine guardians of mankind, live and walk in the midst of men, and yet men do not perceive them. Angels are not made of intangible wisps of wind; neither are they the “cotton candy dreams” of little boys and girls. They have spiritual reality, divine substance, operating in the speed of light. Modern scientists in this twenty-first century have proven that if you speed up the molecular structure of solid material to the speed of light, it would cease to exist as man now knows it. You could not see it or touch it, but its substance would be just as real and solid in the spiritual world.
If men and women who believe are kept ignorant of these truths, will not the adversary of their souls lead them down a path of ultimate destruction and death? Should these truths be hidden from those who are called to be vessels of honor, ambassadors of the Most High? Take hold of these realities and enter into the authority that God has preordained for His children to walk in. You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. So let your spiritual eyes be opened, and know without a shadow of a doubt that even now, at this very moment, there is an angel of the Lord standing by your side. A guardian of the Almighty has been sent to protect you. Yes, even you, the reader of this book! Do not think for a moment that you have picked up this book by accident. There is an angel at this very moment watching and protecting you, fighting back the forces of darkness so that you can receive the truths contained herein.
SATANIC WORLD IS EVIL PERSONIFIED
The satanic world, on the other hand, is composed of the demonic spirits who were formerly angels and disembodied creatures that followed lucifer in his rebellious treason. The spirits of the demonic world are more grotesque and horrible than any mind could possibly conceive. Sin has so distorted and perverted their original natural appearance that there is no resemblance to their original divine glory. A terrible metamorphosis has transpired. The very fiber of their moral character has been totally perverted and demoralized. There remains not even a sliver or spark of repentance. There is no love, mercy, sympathy, or kindness in their bosoms. They are murderers, liars, blasphemers, haters of mankind, propagators of the most horrible and outrageous crimes against creation, against man and God.
Here is a great paradox: When a man who loves God dies, he takes upon himself the absolute, complete characteristics of God: His purity, holiness, righteousness, love, peace, joy, and gentleness. All of God’s wonderful and awesome nature is made one with man forever. Never again will that man or woman be tempted, tested, or tried. Forever they will have a perfect love for God, for their fellow man, and creation. Never again will there ever be another selfish act in word, deed, thought, or action.
But when a person dies without making it their ultimate goal in life to love God and has not repented of all known, willful sin, he takes upon himself the total, absolute, and depraved characteristics of the devil. All that satan is, the unregenerate man becomes. All the wickedness, nastiness, immorality, and perversions of lucifer becomes his, and he loses every trait of the divine nature. All that was good and decent is lost forever. Men who die in this state are forever locked up, sealed, and lost in the nature of satan. They are swallowed up in the eternal darkness of complete selfishness.
Many of the fallen angels appear to men as angels of light, so-called “guardians of mystical secrets.” They sell their wares to gullible, money-seeking, self-gratifying, power-hungry humans. They appear in many forms promising immortality and limitless authority. They tote lies as the truth, declaring new revelations and higher realms of enlightenment. They push karma and New-Age theologies that deceive men and who have in turn deceived others. Even as the father of lies appeared to Adam and his wife in the garden of Eden, so they follow after the same pattern, promising that which they cannot give because they do not possess it. By their deceptions and perversions, they capture their prey as a spider captures a fly in its web, spinning a cocoon of lies around about their minds and emotions and slowly but surely injecting the deadly venom in order to possess and devour them.
Much of their deceptions are woven with biblical truths and principles taken out of context. They teach a Christianity that uses God, instead of one that surrenders its will and life to God. In the garden, satan told Eve that she could eat of the Tree of the Knowledge of good and evil and not die. In the same way, the lie is still being propagated today to the masses of gullible people that we can continue to partake of good and evil and still live and not die. It is a lie that we can be like God and keep living in willful rebellion and disobedience. But true Christianity that brings salvation seeks the perfect will of God and reflects a life that hungers and thirsts after true holiness and righteousness.
These fallen angelic beings have only one purpose of existence, and that is to totally destroy anyone or anything that resembles the splendid nature of the glory of the Creator. They have fallen from their original glory and will never be able to ascend again to that magnificent position. For there is no repentance, nor forgiveness, nor redemption for these pitiful, lowly, corrupted beings that are destined to everlasting torment and damnation in the lake of fire, where the fire is never quenched, and the worm never dies.
Many humans have given heed to their seductive and damnable heresies, refusing to obey God and to turn from their wicked ways. Instead, they reach and strive for that forbidden fruit that even lucifer grasped for in order to become God, which is the impossible, unattainable, and corrupted dream. For that which is created can never become greater or equal to the One who created him. It is like a gnat endeavoring to become an eagle or the clay pot longing to become the potter. Even as lucifer lusted after God’s power, position, anointing and authority, many today who have been deceived into believing that they are Christians are hungering and lusting after the exact same things. In truth, they should be longing for nothing but to be just like Jesus in his character and nature. Through Christ, God has given His sons and daughters the privilege to rule and reign with Him forever.
