Angels Are Preparing Me For Eternity, February 24
Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring
thee into the place which I have prepared.
Exodus 23:20
.
All heaven is engaged in the work of preparing a people to stand in the day of
the Lord’s preparation. The connection of heaven with earth seems very close....
The heavenly intelligences are waiting with almost impatient earnestness to
make Him known to the human agents, that they may be laborers together with
these heavenly angels in presenting Jesus—the world’s Redeemer, full of grace
and truth....
The first tear of penitence for sins creates joy among the heavenly angels in
the courts of heaven. The heavenly messengers are ready to be on the wing to
minister to the soul who is seeking Jesus....
Grand and glorious things hath God prepared for those who love Him. Angels
are looking forward with earnest expectation to the final triumph of the people of
God, when seraphim and cherubim and the “ten thousand times ten thousand, and
thousands of thousands” shall swell the anthems of the blessed and celebrate the
triumphs of the mediatorial achievements in the recovery of man.
Jesus counted the cost of the salvation of every son and daughter of Adam. He
provided abundant means that, if they would but comply with the conditions, none
need perish, but might have everlasting life.... Every heavenly intelligence works
as His agent to win man to God.
[59]
The angels of glory find their joy in ... giving love and tireless watchcare to
souls that are fallen and unholy. Heavenly beings woo the hearts of men; they
bring to this dark world light from the courts above; by gentle and patient ministry
they move upon the human spirit, to bring the lost into a fellowship with Christ
which is even closer than they themselves can know.
