The title of this message may seem strange to someone out there but it is important for you to know that you are never alone.
The bible reveals that the angels of the Lord encamp around those who fear him and he delivers them (Psalm 34:7).
The angels of the Lord encamp around those who fear him for a purpose, namely, to deliver them. It is important to understand that not all angels are of the Lord. Yes, the bible also reveals that there are fallen angels (Revelation 12:7) as well, messengers of Satan the devil, spiritual agents of wickedness and death/destruction.
The question is: what angels encamp around you? Either the angels of the Lord encamp around you or the angels of Satan. Whilst the angels of the Lord encamp around those who fear him to deliver (protect) them, the angels of Satan encamp around those who do not fear the Lord to destroy them.
It is interesting that the Bible gives us two accounts of angels of the Lord in relation to Jesus Christ: (1) Matthew 4:11, “Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.” And, (2) Luke 22:43, “An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.”
In both cases Jesus was facing temptations (Satan was behind), but in each case he embraced wholeheartedly the will of God instead. Here we have a demonstration of what it means to fear the Lord (God). No wonder that angels of the Lord came to attend to him and strengthen him, respectively.
I wonder if Apostle James had these passages in mind when, led by the Holy Spirit, he wrote in James 4:7-8a: “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near you.”
See, the angels of the Lord would not encamp around you when you allow (entertain) the devil on your territory (life) instead of resisting him. And, the devil would only flee from you when you resist him by submitting yourself to God, as Jesus did. It means that every temptation that comes your way is an opportunity for “Angelique” ministrations provided you do not fall into it. Failure to resist the devil, or falling into temptation, invites angels of Satan to encamp around your life, which is not the will of God for you. If this is your case, could I invite you to turn to God quickly in repentance and distance yourself from sin which is Satan’s means to sneak into your life….
I don’t know what you are going through right now, however I know that you could have the angels of the Lord encamp around you by choosing to fear the Lord, or submit to God in every situation and circumstances in your life.
May God help us all, in Jesus Christ’s name.
