What Angels Don't Have

Mark Virkler's picture

Today my daughter, Charity Kayembe, will share the next segment in her blog series with us.

Enjoy!

Welcome to part eight of Angels: God's Servants, My Friends. If you would like to read about the day Jesus introduced me to my guardian angels, as well as some Scripture verses He highlighted for me about them, please check it out here.
 

Things in Common

One thing I’m really beginning to appreciate about my angels is how alike we actually are in some ways. For example, we’re created beings. That’s something that I don’t have in common with Jesus (Who is God), but I do have in common with them.

But even though they’re not God and never will be, they’re holy. And perfect and sinless. Well, I’m not God and never will be either, and now with my angels I have a chance to see how a created being with a free will gets that perfect holy sinlessness to play out in real life.

Just Like Us

Angels don’t have all power like God does, in and of themselves, but they know that He’ll provide whatever strength they need to accomplish the work He gives them.

They don’t know everything like God does either, but they know that He’ll give them whatever knowledge they need to succeed in the assignments they receive.

Same with us, we don’t know everything but we can have confidence that God will make sure we know everything we need to know, when we need to know it. We’ve got the Holy Spirit and anointing, with words of wisdom and knowledge. And we’ve got angelic messengers who are happy to help give us understanding anytime we need it too.
 

Role Models?

They also trust Father perfectly, and submit to Him easily without hesitation. And they know know know that God is going to do whatever He’s said He would do. Uncompromising obedience and total surrender to Father’s will. Perfect faith in action, every single time.

The other thing I love is that they live to worship God. They have their priorities right every second, and never get distracted or lose their focus even for a moment. They understand that their number one main job, more important than any other great service or work of the kingdom, is ministry to God. Not for Him, but to Him. Same with me.  

Winners & War Heroes

They are the most confident friends I have! While completely humble, they are entirely bold and brave. Not a hint of arrogance, but absolutely assured that whatever they’re intending to do will be accomplished, because they have God backing them up. They’ve got nothing to prove to anybody, they just live to please Father.

My angels are also both extraordinarily positive. They have no fear. No pride. No stress. No doubt. It’s such a beautifully awesome combination, that extreme humility and extreme confidence. I love it. I want it!

Because they have the revelation that we’ve won. It’s already done. Jesus secured our victory and the Most High really is Ruler over the realm of mankind.

We all know that in our heads, but that’s ALL they see. All they know is God’s truth and His perspective. The war’s already won, so they never fight for victory. They always, only, naturally, exclusively fight from it.

Why It Works for Me

All of that is what I’m going for. And where am I going to see an example of it – by someone who’s not God Himself (Jesus) – except for with angels? I have wonderful friends and amazing family, but none of them are perfect. Here’s my chance to see in real time what it can actually look like. Feel like. Sound like. I get a vision for holiness and how awesome it is and that makes it seem a little bit more within reach.

When you walk with the wise, you become wise. And you figure that if even just a tiny bit of that glory realm rubs off on you, you’re a lot better off than when you started!


What About You?

What is your favorite thing about your guardian angel? Is there a certain trait that you like best? And what are some other ways it seems we're similar to them? Any more areas we have in common with our angels?

Please feel free to share your experiences and perspectives with us in the Comments below. It's fun hearing how heaven looks to you!

I have had one or two encounters, for example, when I was asleep, on my back, two angels lifted off my bedcovers (waking me up) and two other angels turned me on to my side, the bedcovers were replaced and a feeling of peace ensued. Must have been snoring lol. I also was in bed another time and I felt a puff of air and smelled the scent of 'lily of the valley'. I searched around for the source, but couldn't find anything in the natural.

I get a bit confused - am I supposed to interact with Jesus, the Holy Spirit, God the Father, or Angels? I have only just discovered this website and 'flowing' so l am very new to all this!

Ps love this blog!

So glad you stopped by... It's awesome that you've been able to sense your angels!

Angels are similar to Father God, Jesus and Holy Spirit in that they are also spirit beings. Like God, they live in the spiritual/supernatural realm, so to connect with them and see them we can actually use the same steps we use to hearing God's voice and seeing Him. If you haven't been through the "4 Keys" teaching yet you'll definitely want to check that out: http://www.cwgministries.org/store/4-keys-hearing-gods-voice-mp3-audio-p...

I would encourage you to begin with hearing God's voice and then ask Him about your angels. I imagine He will be happy to introduce you! As for Who in the Trinity you may want to interact with? They ALL would enjoy a personal relationship with you! I see Jesus, Holy Spirit, Father and my angels all separately, with their own distinct personalities and unique sense of humor. :) Even when I'm "alone" - it's a full house!

I'm excited for you as you continue to pursue all the Lord has for you. Every blessing on your journey!

Oh Mark.. This series on angels is amazing. I was first a little taken back, but just read your daughter's post on her first introduction with all her scripture references and wow.... what a revelation.
Although a little shy about it right now... I hope to connect more with my angels in a friendly way and not just asking the Lord to give them orders on my behalf.
Bless you all,
Linda

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

Fulfill Your Financial Destiny

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 66 Pages

Though the economic system (mammon) of this world is under a curse, we have received instructions for how to move out from that dominion and into the blessing of the Kingdom of God. God’s promises to His children have not changed with the whims of government or Wall Street, nor have His directions for how to walk in those promises. We can “choose not to participate” in the economic recession that is around us if we instead choose to obey the logos and rhema of the Lord and enjoy the blessings that result.

Health Mastery Through MRT

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 82 Pages

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way for my body to tell me exactly what it needs and desires, without having to take expensive or invasive tests? Wouldn't it be amazing if I could perform these tests as often as I wanted, right in my own home (or anywhere I wanted), with no costly instruments necessary?

Hearing God Through Biblical Meditation

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 179 Pages | $15.99 retail list price

For many years I studied the Bible incorrectly, and it produced death rather than life. Even though I had a knowledge of the Scriptures, I did not personally experience the life and the realities they revealed. The Bible calls this the ministry of death, rather than the ministry of righteousness (2 Cor. 3:6–9). Upon coming out of Bible college, I found myself just like the apostle Paul, attacking those who disagreed with my theology.

How Do You Know?

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 180 Pages

How do you know? What is the process you use to discover truth? I did not ask that question during the first 25 years of my life. I used eleven different methods for discovering truth including: if my parents said so, then it was so. If my teacher said it was so, then it was so. If my pastor said it was so, then it was so. If my theology said it was so, then it was so. I have discarded them all and adopted a twelfth method, which is in harmony with what the Bible teaches. We teach you this method in this book.

How to Walk by the Spirit

How to Walk by the Spirit

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 136 Pages | Previous name "Sense Your Spirit"

Are you like many western Christians who have been taught little about how to sense their spirits? Do you have trouble even defining what spirit sensations feel like within you, much less recognizing them? This training was birthed from Mark’s passion to live out of his spirit, and thus release the anointing of God. The problem he faced was lack of clear biblical definition as to what his spirit felt like. So Mark looked up every verse in the Bible on heart and spirit.
