Angelic Interactions and the Believer

A pastor told a true story some years ago. He said, “Two angels came to me. One was big, tall, a huge fellow. He said, “Come, I want to show you how to heal the sick.” I didn’t know who he was. I knew it was an angel, just didn’t know which one. That angel is the one who goes with me in healing the sick. I followed him through the aisle of a building that looked like a church. He was showing me how to heal the sick. There was another angel behind him who wasn’t saying anything, just carrying out his ministry.

We have to understand there is a realm of the Spirit. It exists, and it is here now. We are part of it because we’re born into it. Every one of you has an angel—at least one. Many of them go with me now. Some are just stationed in certain places. That’s a fact. Very important fact. They bless people.

Kenneth Hagin told a story: Jesus appeared to him one time, and while Jesus was talking, demon spirits came and stood between him and Jesus. Jesus kept talking, but the demons made noise—yak, yak, yak. He wondered, “Doesn’t Jesus know I can’t hear Him anymore? Isn’t He going to do something?” But Jesus kept talking.

Finally, he got aggravated and rebuked the devil, saying, “Get out in Jesus’ name.” The demon fell down, ran off like a little monkey with its tail between its legs. Then Jesus said, “If you hadn’t done something about it, I couldn’t have done anything.”

Jesus explained, “When I came out of the grave and received all authority in heaven and earth, I gave the authority to the church. The authority over demons is with you. If you hadn’t done anything, I couldn’t have done anything about the situation.”

Oral Roberts tells a story of being in the hospital. While there, Jesus appeared and talked to him. A huge, tall angel stood by. Jesus said, “That’s your angel.” After Jesus left, the angel was waiting. The angel said, “Dispatch me.” Roberts asked in the name of Jesus, “I dispatch you,” and the angel went.

I remember the first time I saw an angel in 2005. I was in my second year at Bowen University. I had applied to the chaplaincy to be chosen as a Campus Fellowship Executive Member, even though I was in my second year. Applications were accepted from only third-year students at the time. I was, however, a Student Fellowship leader since my first year, and the fellowship I led was the biggest on campus.

On the day the executive members were to be inaugurated, an angel suddenly appeared to me in the library. I wanted to scream, but no sound came from my mouth; I was just still. This angel stood by my side until a Christian brother walked in and held me by the hand. He led me to the courtyard and began to pray for me. I personally didn’t really fancy this Christian brother that much because of how he conducts himself, and he didn’t really fancy me either.

Yet, the Spirit of God led him straight to me, and the power of God came over me like wildfire that day.

Since then, I have seen angels and had interactions with them so many times. Sometimes, the angel of a believer will have discussions with me about that believer, and the believer himself or herself would have never had any form of interaction with his or an angel before.

This is quite fascinating.

You don’t have to wait to see an angel first; the Bible says they are already there.

The key to living the supernatural life is to believe God wholeheartedly and obey his words. Jesus said blessed are those who believe without demanding proof, like Thomas.

Did God say it? I believe it. I speak it. I act upon it. I tailor my life to walk in it. I do not say I believe and then act contrary to it because of my flesh or senses. I may not see it, but I know it is there, and I believe it is there because God said it is there. I trust and obey the Lord always.

Look at Elisha in 2 Kings. Elijah prayed, “Lord, open his eyes that he may see.” The Lord opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw the mountain full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha. Elisha was no more protected than we are. Fear deactivates the army of God. When you become afraid, angels do nothing because they wait for your word.

Hebrews chapter 1 shows us angels are ministering spirits sent forth **to minister for those who shall be heirs of salvation**. Not “to them,” but “for them”—they wait for instructions. There are angels all around us, of different kinds and levels. Some minister to God, some minister for God, and some are with us. Jesus said, “Don’t underestimate any of these little ones; their angels see the face of My Father regularly.”

As you grow and obey God, your angel grows with you. More angels may be sent under them. Your angels have been there all along, waiting for you to speak. Sometimes we cry in their presence but don’t act. Peter stepped out of the boat to walk to Jesus. When he looked at the waves, fear gripped him, and he began to sink—even in the presence of Jesus. But Jesus quickly reached him, saying, “Why did you doubt?”

It’s the same today.

There is a real realm of the Spirit, and we are born into it. Every one of us has at least one angel. Some are with us all the time, some are stationed in places. Angels minister, bless, and obey the instructions of God, waiting for us to step into faith and action. This is a place of revelation where the Word of God comes alive, and the reality of the Spirit is unveiled. Our desire is to equip you with faith, wisdom, and understanding so you can walk in the fullness of God’s plan for your life.
