Guidance by the Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings
How does the Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings work together to bring us fresh Revelation of the Purposes of God? How would we know? What Biblical examples are there to clearly instruct us on how—The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings work together to Guide us on the earth?
Hi Faith-writers, I thank God for another opportunity to share HIS Word with HIS people. We are still on the topic of Supernatural Guidance since the beginning of this year. The Lord has me sharing in detail how we will be Led and Guided Supernaturally. I was led to share a lot of Biblical information along with testimony on the topic of Angelic Beings. Today, we are going to dig out the Scriptures that demonstrates how The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings work together to bring us Supernatural Revelation and instructions to carry out the Divine Will of God.
Peter Shares about the Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings working together
When Peter wrote his letter, he shared some Truth concerning the Prophets of the Old Testament who had the Spirit of Christ (The Holy Spirit), in them, when they were writing predicting the sufferings of Jesus. Then Peter shared some awesome insight about The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings working together to bring the Gospel to all the world. Let’s read what Peter wrote; I’m going to place it in an outline format;
* Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and search diligently, (v. 10)
* Who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: (v. 10)
* Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, (v. 11)
* When it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, (v. 11)
* And the glory that should follow. (v. 11)
* Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, (v. 12)
* But unto us they did minister the things, (v. 12)
* Which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with THE HOLY GHOST SENT DOWN FROM HEAVEN; (v. 12)
* WHICH THINGS THE ANGELS DESIRE TO LOOK INTO. (v. 12) (1 Peter 1:10-12 KJV)
We see that the Prophets of the Old Testament knew by the Spirit of God, that the Gospel would be available by the things that Jesus had to endure and suffer. Jesus would bring the Grace of God to us. And this Grace was testified to by the Ministers that went out and shared the Gospel of Jesus Christ, as they were empowered by the HOLY SPIRIT and The Angelic Beings were looking into the Gospel being preached by God’s Anointed Ministers.
Peter experienced first-hand how the Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings work together, to bring the Gospel of Grace to the world. Peter witnessed Jesus being raised from the dead and was instructed by Jesus to wait in Jerusalem to be empowered by the Holy Spirit (Luke 24:36-49 NKJV). After Jesus instructed Peter and all the disciples to wait at Jerusalem until they were Baptized in the Holy Spirit, Jesus left in a cloud with 2 Angels beside HIM and the Angels said, “Jesus is Coming back in the same manner that you see HIM leaving” (Acts 1:8-11 NKJV).
Later on in the Book of Acts we read several more encounters of Peter and Philip the Evangelist experiencing The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings working together. In Acts Chapter 8, the Bible says, that an Angel of the Lord spoke to Philip, saying, arise and go toward the south along the road which goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza. This is desert. So he rose and went (Acts 8:26 NKJV). When Philip went to that road Philip saw a eunuch of great authority (Acts 8:27-28 NKJV). Then The Holy Spirit said to Philip, “Go near and over take this chariot.” (Acts 8:29 NKJV). See how The Holy Spirit and Angels work together to bring the Gospel of Grace to the unsaved—in this case the Eunuch who was a Treasurer of Ethiopia.
In Acts chapter 10, we have another Supernatural encounter with Cornelius a Roman Centurion and Peter who experienced The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings working together to bring the Gospel of Grace to the Gentiles for the very first time.
Cornelius received an Open Vision of an Angel that instructed him to send his servants to the city of Joppa to get Peter, so Peter would preach to him the Gospel of Grace. (Acts 10:1-6 NKJV)
Peter was in the city of Joppa, in Simon the Tanner’s house by the sea-side. Simon was getting dinner ready and Peter went to the roof top to pray and then he fell into a Trance and saw a symbolic Vision. After experiencing this Vision Peter sat down and began meditating as to what the Vision meant, there was a knock on the door. There were Romans soldiers inquiring about Peter, who were sent by Cornelius the Centurion. The Holy Spirit spoke to Peter in an Audible Voice and said, don’t be afraid go with them, because HE had sent them.” (Acts 10:9-20 NKJV) After Peter knew why they had come, he invited them in and the following day they went to Cornelius’ house.
Explaining the Supernatural
The Angel spoke to Philip the Evangelist first and directed him to go down to a certain road. When Philip got to that road, then the Holy Spirit spoke to Philip, and said to join himself with the caravan carrying an important dignitary a Treasurer from Ethiopia. After Philip ministered the Gospel of Grace to this man and he accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior and was Baptized in water. The Holy Spirit Supernaturally transported Philip to the city of Azotus which was about 20 miles from that location. (Acts 8:26-40 NKJV). [I wonder why we need air planes?] The Book of Acts teaches us how to Minister Supernaturally and how to expect to travel Supernaturally. Deep huh? But we have to arrive at Believing these things can happen to us TODAY, Amen. We are still living in the Book of Acts we are in chapter 2015. Shout, if you believe that right now!!! Hallelujah!!!
The Holy Spirit Supernaturally granted Cornelius the Gift of Discerning Spirit’s, by granting him an Open Vision to see an Angel. But the Angel spoke to Cornelius—not the Holy Spirit.
The Holy Spirit caused Peter to fall into a Trance and granted him a Vision about so many animals and creepy crawling things in a sheet. 3 times Peter heard a Voice say to him, “Peter get up kill and eat.” Peter said, no because Jews had a special diet and they did not eat certain animals like the Gentiles. After this Vision Peter snapped out of the Trance and began Meditating and The Holy Spirit spoke to Peter in an Audible Voice to go with Cornelius servants and not to worry.
The Holy Spirit grants us Dreams, Visions and Audible Voices to see and hear Angelic Beings and to hear HIS Voice as well, by the Gift of Discerning spirits (1 Cor. 12:8-11 NKJV)
Angelic Beings gives us instructions as to what the purposes God are for our particular lives or the lives of those we are being instructed to Minister too.
Paul wrote, “Are not the Angels all Ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation?” (Hebrews 1:14 AMP)
Peter and Paul shared that Angels look into the work of the Gospel of Grace being Preached and Taught to mankind by the Ministers that God chooses to use for HIS Glory so that new believers may be Saved (Born-again). So, God the Father is on a Mission to Save the world by utilizing The Holy Spirit and Ministering Angels and HIS Anointed Evangelist and Preachers to share the Gospel of Grace to mankind.
We need to learn how to tap into these Supernatural resources so we may be used in the same manner that God used Peter, Paul, and Philip. God is still using The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings to bring HIS people to meet up with the unsaved so that we can preach the Gospel of Grace, so that people may be Born-again.
We need to Pray, Lord, lead me by YOUR Spirit to where YOU desire for me to Minster the Gospel and send YOUR Angels before me to prepare the way for me to be successful to share the Gospel of Grace in Jesus’ name, Amen.
When will I experience the Holy Spirit’s Gifts and Angelic Visitation?
This teaching in this article may seem far-fetched or somewhat unreachable to those who have not experienced these things. I can assure you that we all can tap into this Supernatural realm of experiencing being led by The Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings.
I’m sure that the Virgin Mary was not thinking about her being chosen to be the mother of Jesus. She had her sight set on marrying Joseph. Gabriel the Arch Angel pops up out of spiritual world and into the natural world, and greets her to announce that she is the Chosen servant to bring forth the Messiah Jesus.
Now, she didn’t have detailed teachings about Guidance by Angelic Beings from the Old Testament. And she wasn’t specifically Praying to see an Angel. But she encountered Gabriel the Arch Angel by an Open Vision. An Open Vision, is one of the highest types of Vision that one receives Supernaturally, as the Holy Spirit manifests the Gift of Discerning spirits to see into the spirit world. (1 Corinthians 12:8-11 NKJV) Gabriel the Arch Angel began to explain the High Calling God had on her life. Then Mary questioned how will it happen that she is going to have a Child? Gabriel said, it will be Supernatural when the Holy Spirit comes upon her and impregnates her. (Luke 1:26-38 NKJV)
This is another Biblical story that shows us that the Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings work together to bring us the Gospel of Grace. Grace is not just a topic—Grace is a Person!!! Jesus is full of GRACE AND TRUTH (John 1:17 NKJV). Jesus is the Grace of God working on the earth and in our lives TODAY! Hallelujah!!!
Anytime we read the Scriptures about Dreams, Visions, Audible Voices, and Angelic Visitations that someone experienced in the Old and New Testaments. It will always be the Holy Spirit and Angelic Beings granting us fresh Revelation of the Purposes of God. When God sees fit to manifest HIMSELF to us, we need to receive these Supernatural experiences with the utmost respect and Fear of the Lord, and seek God in Prayer to help us carry out HIS Will, Amen.
