Biblical Basis and Types of Angels 0:15 Welcome to Today with Nerlyn and Sarah. I am so honored that you're joining us today. We're gonna have an amazing time talking about 1 of my favorite subjects, angels. I know it's kind of cool, kind0:27 of different. The Bible's full of angels, but we're really going to look at 1 of my grandmother's classic teachings and look at what scripture says about angels and how you can see angelic presence and intervention in0:38 your everyday life. If you need prayer for anything If you need prayer to receive healing in your body to receive protection, maybe there's fear in your heart Please call or go on the website We0:50 want to pray with you that you would experience freedom and breakthrough in your everyday life And while you're there, make sure you get your copy of today's teaching notes. This is a free1:02 downloadable copy. You can get it at our website, or you can scan the QR code, and these teaching notes will help you keep track of Mimi's teaching. Now this is of course a very classic teaching from back in the day1:13 where she talks about angels.1:17 Make sure1:17 you write down your questions because there's 100 different ways that we can look at angelic presence. But this is a very helpful teaching that will help you to understand what it looks like in your everyday life.1:29 Are there angels around you at all times? Where do they come from? Who commands them? These are all important questions and you will get those answers in today's teaching. Let's go back in our time machine and look at my1:41 grandmother's teaching.1:43 Sometimes we need to get our real basis for angels in the word of God because, you know, people can get spooky or flaky. Did you ever hear of anyone who prayed to angels? Say1:55 yuck 3 times. Yuck, yuck, yuck. We never pray to angels, and angels have a purpose. God has a plan for them in our lives. And if you look right at the top of your sheet, you will see that God2:06 tells us very clearly in Hebrews that are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister to those who will inherit salvation. So angels have a purpose, what is2:18 their purpose? To minister to us because we are inheritors of salvation. So put your hand on your heart, so I won't forget. Angels are made,2:30 sent to minister to me. So they are to help us and they're to help us in all kinds of occasions and circumstances. Then there's another scripture under this first point that sometimes angels2:42 look like very ordinary people. I think sometimes we think, oh angels, you know, they're gonna have pink wings and and they're gonna smile a lot and some people think they're a little short and chubby. But2:54 basically, if you look in the scriptures, there are 4 kinds of angels. We see archangels and archangels come and deliver messages in particular and they are the3:06 highest rank of angels. Michael is an archangel. Gabriel is a mark archangel. And these came on special occasions and we see them at Christmas time. We see an angel coming to Mary3:18 and ministering to Mary telling her about the birth of Jesus Christ. We see angels coming to Joseph in his dream. We see angels in Zechariah's life. Some were archangels3:30 in declaring the birth of Jesus Christ. But there's another rank of angels and these angels are called seraphim. Can you say that with me? Seraphim and3:41 they're not little baby angels they are huge angels and they are like warrior angels and they are very protective angels. Then we see cherubim, and cherubim I think a3:53 lot of people get into an attitude, well these are just little short baby angels chubby with little fat cheeks and people put them up on their wiles. But a cherubim is a very strong4:05 angel, a very big angel, very bold angel and it's cherubim that were on the mercy seat. And so we see that God has angels that seem to be very much used in4:17 his direction of major events on the earth. We see that angels that protect what God wants to do. We see angels that are part of the presence and the holiness of declaring4:29 who God is and those are the cherubim. But the most common angels that we know about and probably that Karen shared tonight that happened to her grandmother are guardian angels4:41 and they are the ones that are sent to minister to the household of faith and we call them guardian angels and I'm kind of calling them common angels because they're the largest number of angels. Now if you look4:52 here, it says, do not under number 1 forget to entertain strangers for by so doing some have entertained angels unwittingly or unaware.5:04 And so we see that, angels do not just come with wings, they're not always just big, sometimes they look like very ordinary people and they are there to administer in a certain circumstance5:16 to that person in their life. But as you go on in this you see that they are called spirits. They're used in the birth of Jesus, guardian angels,5:28 these, wonderful angels that were archangels. We don't see cherubim or saithim, but we see those 2 ranks of angels in particular. But now we see that basically they are5:40 spirits and it says they're ministering spirits, everybody say ministering spirits. So angels can be all around you and you don't see them because you don't see a spirit. They're not manifested always in the5:52 flesh. And so that's why we're often not aware of angels being a part of our lives or protecting us or moving in a situation or circumstance.6:03 See, we may not always see God's angels, but they are always there. It might not be the most obvious thing in the world, you know, a feather lands on top of your head. But, God's angels6:14 are always there surrounding you, protecting you. In Psalms we read that the angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear him. There are angels encamped around you. And sometimes the way that we see angelic6:26 intervention can be very subtle, very quiet, but it's still there. Throughout the Old Testament we see large things, we also see small things. Let me give you an example.6:39 1 time I was riding in the car and I was the passenger, my friend was driving. And we were in this tiny little car and we got absolutely rear ended. Hit really hard in the back by a huge6:50 truck. And we were supposed to go flying, right? I was wearing a seat belt and the seat belt buckled around my right shoulder but I felt something hold my left shoulder7:02 back. My right shoulder was held back by the seat belt but my left shoulder was held back by something I didn't even see. And that holding back saved me from hitting my head on the dashboard.7:14 And I believe that was angelic intervention. Maybe you are watching and you have experienced something like that and you have no explanation for it. I want to encourage you to get my grandmother's book, Angels All7:24 Around. This is an amazing resource that will help you learn to recognize angelic intervention in your everyday life. The angels of God minister to you every single7:36 day. And, it's important that we are on the lookout for the angels and the army of God. See, you are special. You are set apart. And God has commanded armies to7:48 be there for you. Protecting you, looking out for you, intervening on your behalf. So make sure you get the book, call, go on the website, and let's jump right back into today's teaching.Unseen Angelic Protection 7:59 I like this number 2 because I don't know this is kind of a funny story to me out of second Kings. And those of you watching on television, I don't know if you've even heard sometimes of this unusual8:11 incident in the life of Elisha. But in this story, and I'll give you the background of the story, it is hilarious. In this story, the king of Syria hates Israel and he was always8:23 sending his army down against Israel to war with them, but every time they get down there the Israeli army knows they're coming and they don't catch them. There are no surprise attacks and so the8:35 king is all nervous. He said, who is the spy that's telling on us? And someone said to him, there is no spy, we're all faithful, it's Elisha, he knows the things you say in your blood chamber.8:47 So he said, well we're gonna go down there and get Elisha. So he sends a whole army down surrounds this little town called Dothan and his servant of Elisha gets out8:59 nervous and he when he looks outside he said, oh master, look. He said, look at all of these chariots and look at this army that's surrounding us and this is what the story says,9:11 and when the servant of the man of God under number 2 arose early and went out, there was an army surrounding the city with horses and chariots and his servants said to him, alas, fire master what shall you9:23 do? So he answered, do not fear for those who are with us are more than those who are with them. And Elisha prayed and said, Lord, I pray open his9:35 eyes that he may see. Then the Lord opened the eyes of the young man and he saw and behold the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. Were there more for Elisha than9:47 against you? There were more, but were they administering spirits? They could not see them in the natural and when Elisha prayed, his little servant saw them and9:58 he saw that there were more that were sent to take care of Elisha than there was of the army of Syria. So we see that we don't always see them at all probably most of the time or many10:10 times in our life we will never even see an angel, but sometimes you're aware of their presence, you're aware of a supernatural support of God in protecting you or taking care of you. I remember 1 time I was10:22 in Saint Louis and we were coming back to the hotel from a service and a car we were driving down the highway and a car came straight toward us and we began to pray and10:34 we said, oh Jesus help us, you know how you just spontaneously pray and all at once our car was moved over to the opposite side and that car that would have hit us we were not in the way.10:46 We don't know how the car, our car died on the other side. Well, I believe big angels like these showed up showed off and moved us over. We didn't see the angels but we saw10:58 sure saw the miracle and I'm here today because of it. It was a miracle. And so sometimes God can open our eyes but as I said most of the time I doubt that most people are going to literally see the11:10 angels that are assigned to them.11:14 Angels are not distant or imaginary.

We're learning all about angels today and how we can see them in our everyday lives. And I want to encourage every person watching you are not alone. Even when you feel13:24 alone, even in those dark moments there are angels around you who are sent there to minister to you. You are never alone. Maybe you feel like you're under attack. There's all these13:36 forces coming at you. You know scripture talks about the fiery darts of the enemy. But just because you may be under attack doesn't mean you're uncovered. God has angels around you there to protect you.13:48 And when you lean into that awareness when you begin to remind yourself I'm not alone. I have these people with me. I have these angels. I'm protected. You begin to walk in victory and in more freedom. Let's14:00 see what else my grandma has to say about angels.Angels Created for Christ 14:03 Now, look at number 3. They are created beings. Came out of nowhere. Colossians 1 16 says, for by him all things were14:15 created that are in heaven, that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers, for him. So14:27 who created angels? Jesus. Everybody say Jesus. Because all things were created by Jesus. Is that true? So he created angels. Now, what were they created for?14:39 They were created for him. They were created through him, but they were also created for him. Look at all the angels involved in his birth. Even the shepherd saw an angel the night of his14:51 birth. And so we see angels very involved, very involved with Jesus. And when we are born again, we invite Jesus into our hearts, then we are the body of Christ and angels are assigned15:03 to us. Amen? Because we are heirs of salvation. So we began to see the basis here. They are created beings, but they have a plan and a purpose. They're created by Jesus.15:15 They're created for Jesus, and they are created for the body of Christ. Then if you look at the next point here, angels were involved in Satan's rebellion.15:27 Who is Satan? Satan was an archangel. Everybody say Satan was an archangel. Now what are archangels? What rank?15:39 They're the highest rank. He was the highest rank. And at this time, he was called Lucifer. And he was an angel. When you look at all of his description15:54 orchestra inside him. When he opened his mouth to sing, every instrument there was came out of his mouth. He led the worship in heaven of God.16:07 Decided he got very prideful about his ability to worship, very prideful about his beauty. And he said, I will be like God. And he began to try and push himself above God. And when he did, he was16:19 cast out of heaven. But all of this angelic choir that he led, 1 third of them went with him. And so 1 third of the angels16:31 followed after Satan and they fell. But remember, only 1 third. Everybody say 1 third. Or more for us. Because 2 thirds are For us,16:43 only 1 third are against us. And so we began to see scripture here about how Satan was so involved. And it said, for God did not spare the angels who sinned, but cast16:55 them down to hell, deliver them into the darkness, the chains of darkness to be reserved for judgment. Now think, just for a moment, think about your17:07 angels. Just think, well, God because I'm sure almost everybody here probably is born again Christian. You have Jesus in your heart. But think about your guardian angels. Everybody say guardian angels.17:19 Think about them. Who are they? Who are those? And if you look here at number 5, it says the angels of the Lord encamps around those who what? Fear17:31 him and what? Those angels are encamped around you. But, these angels said no to Satan. And yes to17:43 ji. Never be torn aside and say, oh, you know, worship us. That's why I said, never, never worship an angel. Never pray to17:55 an angel. These angels were assigned to worship God. We don't worship them. We join in worship with them to the father.18:04 You are not alone. Jesus loves you so much. I know in my life, I've struggled with depression and I was in a depressive season where I felt like there was no 1 around me and no 1 could help me. But18:16 Jesus revealed to me that he had never left me. You are not alone, Isabelle, he said, and that 1 sentence changed my entire life. And so if you feel alone, if you've never prayed to ask Jesus to come into your18:28 heart, or if you have, and you wanna pray this again, I invite you to pray with me. Say, Jesus, I thank you right now for the opportunity to get to worship you, the opportunity to get to love you. I receive your love. I18:38 receive your relationship. I receive your companionship and I want to be in relationship with you. Jesus, would you come into my heart? Would you be Lord of my life? I submit it all to you. I submit my future. I submit18:50 my past and my present. Jesus, I love you. I chase after you. I desire you, and I want you to be my best friend. We thank you and we praise you. In your name, we pray, Jesus.19:02 Amen.19:05 Angels are not distant or imaginary. God's word describes them as divine helpers sent to walk alongside you and bring God's care into your daily life.

Call or click today to request19:53 this special offer and learn how to put your angels to work.Angels as Worshipers and Rescuers 20:04 We don't worship them, we join in worship with them to the father.20:09 See angels are not just protectors. Right? They do protect us, but they're also worshippers And it's so interesting how this characteristic of angels can appear even in our everyday20:20 life because I've known many people who in the middle of worship services and worship sessions they have seen angels in the room and the angels are singing along with them. And I think that's such a cool20:32 thing that even throughout all the ages the characteristics of angels haven't changed. They worshiped God in the times of the Bible and they continue to worship God now and we get to partner with them in20:44 worshiping God. You're not alone. You're not alone. You are always protected but also your worship is joined in with. Your worship has power When we think about King20:56 Jehoshaphat King Jehoshaphat sent his warriors into battle after he sent the worshippers He sent the worshippers in first because worship is a weapon If you're going through a dark season21:08 I want to remind you that you can worship There's power in your worship And angels join in with you when you worship Please call or go on the website We want to pray with you and we want to help you be encouraged to21:20 worship more, to worship with power and with authority. This is a very important teaching so make sure you listen up, lean in, and really hear what God has for you to hear today.21:31 Now, they are perfect worshipers of God because they were created by Jesus to worship and to minister to the household of21:43 faith. They are worshipers. When Satan fell, he was called Lucifer at that time. When he fell, who's gonna lead the worship? Who's gonna lead the worship? Who took the place? We don't have another archangel21:55 created to take his place, who took the place of worship? We did. And that's why a lot of times when you're going through a situation, you begin to worship, you come through okay.22:07 Am I lying? Why is it you like to worship? Some of you really get carried away in a worship service. Some of you will say, oh, let's have more worship. Come on. What is that?22:18 Because when you get born again, you are created to fill in that place of worship. And so we are made to worship. Everybody say, I'm made to worship. The other day I was,22:30 ministering to someone who going through a really really hard hard trial and I thought, Lord help me to help these people. There is such a tough time for them in their lives. And I thought about Job.22:42 When Job lost his children, he lost his wealth, he lost his health and then his 3 friends were so ugly and his wife said why don't you curse God and die? But all the way22:54 through you find that Job basically worshiped God. He stayed in what? Worship. When you stay in worship in a trial, you're always gonna come out23:06 okay. When you keep your heart worshiping and worship isn't just for church, worship's for the car. Right? Worship's for the office, worship is for work because23:17 we there's something about worship that releases the presence of God into our lives and I'm telling you, we are the host that God has assigned to worship Him. Satan lost it and we23:29 got it. Amen. And so we are worshipers, everybody say worshipers. Now look at angels, this is why I said never worship an angel, never pray to an angel because they were assigned23:41 to worship God, that's the place. And when John in Revelation 19 10, when he fell at the feet of the angel who brought the revelation, he said to me, see that you do not23:53 do that. I'm your fellow servant and of your brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.24:05 So angels are perfect worshipers. Now there have been times when I've been in worship services that I felt like you could feel angels in the service. How many of you have ever had that24:17 common experience? You got into so much worship. It was just like such a presence of God came. You felt like you were worshiping with angels. Well, you probably were because that's the assignment of24:29 angels are to worship him, to minister to us. And so they are really set aside as ministering spirits, worshiping spirits to worship the father, to worship24:41 Jesus, and right away they will never if it's a true angel from the Lord, they would never take worship from you because it's Satan that wants worship. Right? Angels rescue24:52 us from our folly or sometimes just from doing stupid things. And this is Lot. Now, if you remember the story of Lot, Lot,25:04 you know, was the nephew of Abraham. He was his uncle was very good to him. They moved into this area where Sodom and Gomorrah were, which were very very downhill25:16 bad sinful cities. And Lot chose the area for his family to live in that was the closest to Sodom and Gomorrah. Abraham lived up in the hills25:28 and Lot began to get more and more to Sodom and Gomorrah until he became the mayor of it. Bad thing. Raise your family and that kind of a situation. Very very downhill thing. And so Abraham25:40 knows because he has a visitation, an angelic visitation that Sodom and Gomorrah are going to be destroyed. And he prays and intercedes that God will spare Lot and his family.25:52 So God sends angels to minister to Lot and get them out of Sodom and Gomorrah. And when they knock on the door, Lot knows that these are26:04 angelic visitors. And so, you know the story. It's a real bad thing. The, angels tell him, get your family. Get out of here. This city is going to be destroyed. And so Lot and his26:15 family get out and then, you know, his wife turns back and becomes, pillar of salt. It's a really really bad thing for Lot, but he was protected by angel an angelic26:27 visitation. He was not bright enough, it seemed like, spiritually to do the things he should be doing, but those angels came and got him out of there in the nick of time because of the prayers of Abraham.26:39 Angels will also try and get you out of trouble.26:43 Now this was just a very brief look at the truth of what angels are in our everyday lives. It's important that you understand you walk with protection, authority, grace, worship,26:55 and a lot of these come from the angelic intervention in your life I can't even tell you the number of stories of people who have been in car accidents whose lives have been spared people who have been directed27:07 by angelic messengers and by that sense and that feeling And there's a lot more information so I really want to encourage you to get the book Angels All Around. My grandmother has some27:19 amazing insights and teaching into what angelic presence looks like in your life every single day. Because once you kind of begin to understand that you can walk in more peace, more27:31 confidence, more understanding. So, please call or go on the website. We want to get this book in your hands today. Thank you so much for joining us on Today with Marilyn and Sarah The subject of angels can sometimes27:43 be a complicated 1 A lot of people don't really like to talk about it but angels are all over the Bible And so, it's important that we do talk about them. We do talk about the nature of the angels that God sends into27:54 your life to protect you, to uplift you The different areas where angelic intervention can be happening and you don't even know it. But once you know to begin to look for those things you begin to walk in peace. You28:05 begin to walk in comfort and you begin to walk with the awareness that you are not alone. So, as you begin to pray and understand please call, go on the website. We want to pray that you would experience28:17 angelic intervention and that you would see it in your life and know it every single day.In this video 0:00 Biblical Basis and Types of Angels7:59 Unseen Angelic Protection14:03 Angels Created for Christ20:04 Angels as Worshipers and Rescuers28:30
