Advent at Ararat - Day 22: The heavenly host always accompanies the Good News!

“Suddenly, the angel was joined by a vast host of others—the armies of heaven—praising God and saying, “Glory to God in highest heaven, and peace on earth to those with whom God is pleased.””

‭‭Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭13‬-‭14‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I think most people—even most Christians—are woefully ignorant of the office and operation of angels. For example, some people think that when people die, they become angels. That is not true. When people die, if they are Christians, they are with the Lord as a spirit and at some point will be given a glorified body in the resurrection of the dead. Angels, aren’t transformed people but rather are who they were specifically created to be.

“Are not all the angels ministering spirits sent out [by God] to serve (accompany, protect) those who will inherit salvation? [Of course they are!]”

‭‭Hebrews‬ ‭1‬:‭14‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Indeed, angels are the servants of God who perform His word.

“Bless the Lord, you His angels, You mighty ones who do His commandments, Obeying the voice of His word! Bless the Lord, all you His hosts, You who serve Him and do His will.”

‭‭Psalms‬ ‭103‬:‭20‬-‭21‬ ‭AMP‬‬

In our opening scripture today we see that after the angel gave the good news to the shepherds, he was joined with a heavenly host, a multitude of angels praising God.

Remember, any time we are giving the Good News concerning Jesus Christ, anytime we are lifting up praise and worship toward God, we can be sure that more than those people we see are with us. In fact, the heavenly host accompanies us in our praise, accompanies us in our evangelism, and will eventually accompany us in our future missions in the eternal kingdom of God.

For today meditate on the fact that angels are among us, waiting to hear God‘s word in order to perform it. When you speak the word of God from your mouth, while truly believing it in your heart, you will activate the angels to work on your behalf.

Additionally, be quick to share the Good News of Jesus Christ; that’s the quickest way you can gather a crowd from heaven.

Peace to you.
