Powerful truths in the book of Daniel:

4. The power of visions and dreams.

The Ministry of Angels
Various types of angels:
1. Cherubim.
2. Seraphim.
3. Arch angels.
4. Guardian angels.
5. Church angels.
Daniel Sees Michael as the guardian angel over the nation of Israel. He will come during the time when Israel is backed up against a wall and will protect the Jewish state. The nation will be saved as a result of this angelic army. If Michael is the general of the armies of Heaven he has an army of angels who will help Israel.
What We Can Learn From What Daniel Saw
Angels have a role to play in our salvation. When a person is saved the angels of God start the process for that person’s family to come to know Jesus too. They will protect our loved ones until they are given an opportunity to know the Lord as their Savior and Lord.
Fallen Angels
· The chief fallen angel is Lucifer the anointed cherub.
· A third of the angels fell and were cast out of Heaven.
· Our warfare is not against flesh and blood but with these fallen angels.
· We have power over the fallen angels.
Revelation
· Lucifer was the most beautiful angel God ever created.
· Lucifer was the anointed cherub that covered the throne of God.
· Lucifer was the worship leader of Heaven.
· Lucifer is the devil, satan, the snake, the accuser of the brethren.
Angels
· Bring messages from God to man.
· Can give understanding and revelation to God’s servants.
· Can strengthen, heal, protect, comfort, encourage and guide us in life.
· Went before the nation of Israel. (Exodus 32 & 33)
· Fight for the people of God. (Exodus 33:2)
Angels & The Gospel
Galatians 1:6-9
· Even if we or an angel from Heaven, preach any other gospel to you than what we have preached to you, let him be accursed.
· Angels are not above the Word of God and if they give us a message that contradicts the Word we are to reject it. Lucifer came to Eve and questioned God’s Word.
What Angels Never Do:
1. Allow Man to worship them.
2. Allow Man to look at them as God.
3. Preach a message that is not in line with the Word of God.
In Every Revival
· Great things happen but then the enemy sows seeds of false doctrine, strife, and discord. People in leadership become stars and they loose their original purpose and calling and start to do things that God never called them to do.
· Some leaders also get off in regards to the ministry of angels.
As God
· Moves in our midst let’s not do anything to stop the flow of the Holy Spirit here and let’s not believe or teach anything that is not in line with the Word of God.
· When it comes to angels, they are here, in our homes, in our cars, our neighborhoods and our nation. Let’s never worship them or overemphasize their role or underestimate their power and ability to help us as we engage the works of the enemy.
Hebrews 1:1
Angels have always played a role in the affairs of men. They are servants of God; they are quick like the wind, flames of fire. God has always spoken to man. Through separate revelations each setting forth a portion of the truth. In every revival God reveals a portion of the truth. The Lord has also spoken through prophets in the past to our forefathers but today He speaks through Jesus Christ. Jesus is the sole expression of the glory of God.
