The Lord spoke this to Moses, “See, I am sending an angel ahead of you to guard you along the way and to bring you to the place I have prepared. PAY ATTENTION TO HIM AND LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS. DO NOT REBEL AGAINST HIM; HE WILL NOT FORGIVE YOUR REBELLION, SINCE MY NAME IS IN HIM. IF YOU LISTEN CAREFULLY TO WHAT HE SAYS AND DO ALL THAT I SAY, I will be an enemy to your enemies and will oppose those who oppose you…WORSHIP THE LORD YOUR GOD, and his blessing will be on your food and water. I will take away sickness from among you…” (Exod. 23:20-22, 25)
The lord did not say “I’m sending an ARMY of angels…” no, He said “I’m sending AN angel…” In the Word of God, the Lord tells us how His angels are used to deliver messages, grant protection, and even fighting God’s battles. In many angelic appearances, angels who were sent to deliver messages began their words saying, “Do not be afraid.” Most of the time, however, God’s angels operate undercover and don’t draw attention. There are cases where these heavenly beings evidence themselves and strike terror in the hearts of God’s enemies. “The angel of the LORD CAMPS AROUND THOSE WHO FEAR HIM, and he delivers them.” (Psa. 34:7) The Lord tells us in the book of Hebrews. “Are not all angels MINISTERING SPIRITS SENT TO SERVE THOSE WHO WILL INHERIT SALVATION?” (Heb. 1:14)
GOD HAS MANY WAYS TO HELP US…
