Angels Minister To The Heirs Of Salvation, January 7
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who
shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 1:14
.
God has angels whose whole work is to draw those who shall be heirs of
salvation... The angels’ work is to keep back the powers of Satan.
The work of these heavenly beings is to prepare the inhabitants of this world
to become children of God, pure, holy, undefiled. But men, though professing
to be followers of Christ, do not place themselves in a position where they can
understand this ministry, and thus the work of the heavenly messengers is made
hard. The angels, who do always behold the face of the Father in heaven, would
prefer to remain close by the side of God, in the pure and holy atmosphere of
heaven; but a work must be done in bringing this heavenly atmosphere to the souls
who are tempted and tried, that Satan may not disqualify them for the place the
Lord would have them fill in the heavenly courts. Principalities and powers in
heavenly places combine with these angels in their ministration for those who
shall be heirs of salvation.
Angels, who will do for you what you can not do for yourselves, are waiting for
your co-operation. They are waiting for you to respond to the drawing of Christ.
Draw nigh to God and to one another. By desire, by silent prayer, by resistance
of satanic agencies, put your will on the side of God’s will. While you have one
desire to resist the devil, and sincerely pray, Deliver me from temptation, you will
have strength for your day. It is the work of the heavenly angels to come close to
the tried, the tempted, the suffering ones. They labor long and untiringly to save
the souls for whom Christ has died. And when souls appreciate their advantages,
appreciate the heavenly assistance sent them, respond to the Holy Spirit’s working
in their behalf; when they put their will on the side of Christ’s will, angels bear
the tidings heavenward.... And there is rejoicing among the heavenly host.
