Good morning. Praise the Lord. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Welcome to Victorious Faith. I’m Cherri Campbell. This morning I’m going to begin sharing with you another message that I preached in one of our Victorious Faith services called Keys to Breakthrough Part 2, Releasing the Angels. So join me now in our live service for the beginning of this message, Keys to Breakthrough Part 2, Releasing the Angels. We are talking tonight about a key to breakthrough and victory that you’ve perhaps heard of before, but perhaps have not understood how you can use it purposely and actively in your life. And you may have had questions about it and you maybe wondered even some of the things that I was saying in my prayer and confession over the offering. You might think, hmm, I wonder, can we do that? So what we’re going to talk about, keys to your breakthrough, the one thing tonight is the ministry of angels. Hallelujah. The ministry of angels. And so before we start, there is a prophetic word, and I’m going to read this to you because this is actually what prompted this teaching. Dr. Jerry Savelle received this word last October. Extraordinary things are taking place in the heavenlies. More and more notable miracles will break loose in the earth. More and more signs and wonders. More and more angelic visitations. More and more instant healings. More and more deliverances from demonic activity. And more and more finances will break loose so my people can do more for the kingdom of God, saith the Lord. And during this time of the great breaking loose, the enemy will no longer be able to hold back that which my faithful ones have stood in faith for. Not even the things that looked as though they would never come to pass. For I will cause them to break loose and to suddenly manifest and to do so in such a way that no one will be able to deny the greatness of your God. Yes, will be a year in which the faithful shall be rewarded beyond their highest expectations and they shall abound in my blessings as never before. Hallelujah. Praise the Lord. And when the Lord gave him that word last October, he was actually even in a meeting in another state preaching. And while he was preaching, the Holy Spirit just stopped him. And then the Lord gave him two things, Ephesians 6 and Daniel 10, which we’re going to go to later. But what he saw was the spiritual warfare there. That is taught in Ephesians chapter six and Daniel chapter 10. And how the enemy can try to hinder, stop, come against what you’re doing, what the people of God are doing. what you’re supposed to receive from God, the devil tries to stop it. And so we can then use certain keys and weapons to overcome and stop the work of the enemy. And this is one of them. This is one of those keys, the ministry of angels. So with that, God prompted me to cover those things in this teaching because I even talked in our prayer and our confession over our offering that we release the harvesting angels. And some people might kind of choke on those words and think, hmm, can we do that? Well, by the end of this lesson, you will see that you can. All right. So praise the Lord. Let me first start with characteristics of angels. Hebrews 12, 22, starting with how many angels are there? The NIV says you have come to thousands upon thousands of angels in joyful assembly. The King James version says, but you are come to an innumerable company of angels. So we have the ministry of angels, thousands upon thousands and innumerable. Hallelujah. That’s a lot of angels. And then also in Revelation 5, 11, then I looked and heard the voice of many angels numbering thousands upon thousands and 10,000 times 10,000. That’s a lot of angels. And I think, you know, we’re not trying to actually calculate, well, what does 10,000 times 10,000 comes to? It’s not to make a calculation. It’s to, you know, back then that was just a big number to those guys. And so it’s really to refer to innumerable, uncountable number of angels. So there’s a lot of angels. There are enough angels for every born again Christian, every child of God, not to just have one angel, not just to have two angels, but to have your own army of Remember this? Matthew 26, 53. Do you think I cannot call on my father and he will at once put at my disposal, mine, my disposal more than 12 legions of angels? Now a legion was anywhere from 3,000, 6,000, 12,000, depending on what time you are counting. But it was thousands of angels as a legion. And did Jesus have special priority with the father over us? No, Jesus was a son of God. But guess what? If you’re born again, so are you. Amen. Those who belong to Christ, they are the sons of God. So if Jesus could call on his father and get at his disposal more than 12 legion of angels, you can. You are a child of God. a son of God, a daughter of God, and there is no special privileges that Jesus had. What Jesus did is he just died on the cross and bore your sin and took your punishment, but he gave the blessing to you. Amen. So you have these angels also at your disposal. Praise the Lord. Amen. Now angels are big. All angels are big. Well, actually, I’m not so sure about that. I’ll take that back. There could be some smaller ones around in heaven, I heard. But most angels that we see, the guardian angels, and I’m going to talk about this in a moment as I get there, but there are classes of angels. guardian angels and warrior angels, but the warrior angels are especially big, big, big. And testimonies of people who have seen guardian angels have seen them 12 to 14 feet tall. That’s through this ceiling. If this is a 10 or 11 foot ceiling. So their shoulders or, or below their shoulders, maybe their chest will be at our ceiling height. So they’re standing here. They are. We cannot see them. They’re here, but you’ve got angels here. And for some of them, their heads are right now through the ceiling. If we could see the angels, we’d only see them from their chest down. Amen. Hallelujah. Psalm 103 20 says, bless the Lord, you, his angels that excel in strength. So they’re big and they’re strong, powerful, mighty, excelling in strength that do his commandments, hearkening unto the voice of his word. And we’ll come back to that. 2 Thessalonians 1.7 says, This will happen when the Lord Jesus is revealed from heaven in blazing fire with his powerful angels. Angels are powerful. 2 Peter 2.11, Yet even angels, although they are stronger and more powerful… Then it goes on. Do not bring slanderous accusations against the beings in the presence of the Lord. But they are strong and more powerful. So we see they are big. They are very strong. They are very powerful. Now, this one I want to show you. Angels have rank. Angels have rank. Michael is an archangel. We see in Jude 1.9, even the archangel Michael. So Michael is an archangel. And arch means top, highest rank. And then under Michael, there are other lower angels. It is thought that probably Lucifer, Satan, before he was cast out of heaven, before he rebelled, he was an angel in heaven. And it is thought he was very possibly or probably also an archangel. But it doesn’t say that ever because he just got kicked. Real good. Out and down. So anyway, that’s what we know about him. But in Satan’s kingdom, Ephesians chapter six, and this is what we were mentioning earlier about the spiritual warfare that is talked about in Ephesians chapter six, verse 12. For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. This is a ranking of Satan’s forces. Now, Satan is not smart enough to do this by himself. He is not the initiator of anything. He only can copy what he sees God do. So in the fact that we see that there’s this ranking of the evil spirits, it is a copy of God’s angels having a rank, right? So we know from this scripture that if Satan’s forces are ranked, God’s forces are ranked. And so there is this ranking and we’re not talking about devils tonight or evil spirits, but to just talk about God’s angels are ranked. And so there are classes of angels and the angels all do different things. And for example, we mentioned, and we’ll get into this later, warrior angels, guardian angels, et cetera. Then more characteristics about the angels. Not all angels are dressed the same. Some angels wear golden sashes, but some don’t. Their appearance depends on their rank and their job. Matthew 28, two and three. There was a violent earthquake for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and going to the tomb, rolled back the stone and sat on it. His appearance was like lightning and his clothes were white as snow. So they are brilliantly, gloriously light and bright and white. Amen. And then Revelation 15, 6, out of the temple came the seven angels with the seven plagues. They were dressed in clean, shining linen and wore golden sashes around their chests. Well, these were golden sashes, but the one that came and sat on the stone didn’t wear a golden sash. So some do and some don’t. Some have wings and some don’t. So not all angels have wings. And a little side thing here. I know that I’m sure you know this, but what Hollywood has said about angels and people die and then go to heaven and become an angel. That’s not true. That would be a demotion. They’re servants and we’re sons. That would be a demotion. They are servants. We are sons. We’re sons of the most high. They’re servants of the most high. So that would be a demotion for us. And then the movies talk about, oh, you got to do good things to get your wings. No, that’s all a bunch of baloney. You know that. And that not even all angels have wings. It’s according to their assignment. Amen. Amen. And then one more thing is that angels can appear as human beings. In Judges chapter 13, we read about Manoah and his wife. They are the parents of Samson, Samson the judge. And when his wife couldn’t conceive and then the angel appeared to her, Manoah got up and followed his wife. And when he came to the man, he said, are you the one who talked to my wife? I am, he said. And then that man went on to tell him things about the son. What you just heard was the beginning of a message that I preached in one of our victorious faith services called Keys to Breakthrough Part 2, Releasing the Angels. And we will continue this message again tomorrow. So join me again tomorrow. And remember, God loves you. You are blessed and highly favored by the Lord.
