Angels and Ministering Spirits—Resisting and binding all evil
(Jesus speaking: ) Angels are ready to assist you in your mission to planet Earth. Most of the time you will never see or hear them, but that doesn’t mean they don’t exist. You dwell in a limited vision world, where only some things are granted you to see and hear and feel—just the things absolutely necessary. Sometimes more can be seen or heard from the Spiritual realm, if that is what is needed to help My purposes and will to be done, or in special answer to prayer. But if you could see all of us, all the time, it would be distracting to say the least, and life wouldn’t be the test of faith it is meant to be--to believe beyond what your natural mind is saying. Rewards are given later for passing the tests of faith here and now. I know what will help you to get your job done, and learn what you are meant to learn. You are not alone. Heaven, and God’s power made available through the host of angels that are serving God, are with you too.

(Jesus speaking: ) The angels cheer when you score a point for your God; and Satan sneers when his plans for you are foiled. Sometimes on your way to your victory celebration that serpent will try to lie low and trip you, like a serpentine rope across your path. But you can just get up again, brush yourself off and keep on going—free and unbound, letting him tie himself in knots. Then look to your right hand and on your left and see that you are surrounded by Heavenly hosts, the angels from God who are sent to bring you safely home. I’ve got such a lovely place in the Heavens planned for you. All the sorrow you ever knew, will fly away as if it had wings, or vanish like the mist when the light of the morning  sun rises, when you see what I have planned and prepared for you, My dear faithful-to-My-cause children. I’ll take you into My arms and wipe away all the tears and pain, and the hurt from all the attacks of the enemy, or your own childish folly. You will be in the best healing spa then. But for now, do ask for My Heavenly advisors to counsel and instruct you. They’ve got a good point of view and a crystal clear communication with Me. I love to get involved in your everyday activities—as do they. It’s the way they get to live out their dreams—and Mine too—through you. Encourage them in their efforts by listening to their good advice.

(Jesus speaking: ) Angles are all around you, as you must know. Because some of the accidents you are spared from surely give you a hint of this. Or maybe you think you are just clever enough to keep going on unhurt while you go about your day? That would be like someone saying, “I’m clever enough to walk across this piece of land without falling into the soil. I just know how to place my foot right, and then I don’t sink in—like water does.” That shows they don’t know very much, right? They don’t sink into the ground when they step on it, because of the way the land is, and it supports them. They are different than other elements that might sink into the soil. So is it when you go about your day and you are kept safe, or you don’t sink down in despair. It’s because I have placed My angelic guard all around you, like a solid bit of ground you walk on, they are solid and protect you on all sides. It isn’t because you are clever and know how to be safe, for there are so, oh so many things that could go wrong, at any time of day. So thank Me today for how I hold you up, and how I keep you going, and how I plan to protect you until your life on Earth is complete. When your life is at last come to an end, and new life with Me begins, that is when you’ll get to see more clearly how I kept you every day of your life, using the angelic care I sent for you. Praise Me and thank Me for it today, okay?

(Jesus speaking: ) My sweet little one, My angel dear. Yes, you are like a little angel of Heaven to Earth. Just because other people can see you, doesn’t mean you haven’t come from Heaven. I have sent you as a visible angel to help others, to be My hands of care, My words of instruction, My listening ear, to others. Behave then like I ask the angels to. Try to be like an angel of God who shows care and helps others to get closer to Me. Angels have to listen to Me very well, and obey just what I tell them to do, or else My plans won’t work out so well. I have plans, big and very complex plans, and they take a lot of angelic helpers to carry out and do these plans. And I need you too, and the angels need you too, to help bring My plans into reality. Once all my plans have come to pass, you’ll be very happy that you played your role in helping to do your part. See the thing is, one way or another I will do what I plan to do. I can do it in big booms and sudden miracles, or I can use angels and you to help do My will. If you choose to be a part of My team of helpers—the ones that are now visible on Earth—then you get to have a part of the reward. Neither you nor angelic beings can stop My will from happening, it will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven, but you can choose if you want to join in the rewards and joys that I will extend to all those who help assist Me in doing My will. So, obey Me like the good angelic helpers do, and you will get rewarded in the end. I love you and need you there as My visible representative.

(Jesus speaking: ) There is an angel there, right beside you now—well, more than one for sure. But if you get quiet and wait for instruction from Heaven, this one waiting to lead you and guide your heart and mind, your thoughts and ideas, will be ready with a whisper. I have told them what you are to do, and they can help give you instruction. Think of it like a game you play, where there are hints, and if you follow the hints you’ll reach the goal sooner, and score more points than if you just tried to work things out yourself. It would take you so much longer to reach the goals that I have for you if you just learned the hard way, through the many mistakes you will make. But though mistakes are part of your learning, there are other times when you can just stop to listen, and ask Me for some hints, so you can make better and wiser choices, or you can miss out on some accident, or something unkind someone would do to you. You can skip some of the hard things if you just listen to My instructions that your personal guide can pass on to you. Are you ready to listen for tips for winning the games of today? Some of the tips might be how to help your brothers or sisters or parents or friends or neighbours also win their games of the day. In this game of life, all can be winners, isn’t that great? You are like the only player on the board of your game; only you are living your personal life. It’s like playing a game racing against a clock, or a game against a computer. The clock or time or computer is like this world you live in. Time will run out. Will you be a super winner? Or come in last? It all depends on how well you play, using all the help I make available to you. One of the ways I help is by giving you each your own personal friend in the spirit, one who can give you hints to help you out, and save you from trouble you might fall into. Stay close to Me in the Spirit, by praying, asking Me questions, and wishing to be led and guided by those I have sent to be beside you. You are never alone. I love you so much and am always by your side.
