Angels Around Us

January 22, 2013

But the angel of the Lord by night opened the prison doors, and brought them forth . . .
–Acts 5:19

Demonic activity and Satan worship are on the increase in all parts of the world. The devil is at work more than at any other time. The Bible says that because he realizes his time is short, Satan’s activity will increase. But his evil activities are countered for the people of God by His ministering spirits, the holy ones of the angelic order. Christians should never fail to sense the operation of angelic glory. It forever eclipses the world of demonic powers, as the sun does a candle’s light. If you are a believer, expect powerful angels to accompany you in your life experiences. And let those events dramatically illustrate the friendly presence of “the holy ones” as Daniel calls them. Certainly, the eye of faith sees many evidences of the supernatural display of God’s power and glory. God is still in business.

Prayer for the day

When I am tempted by Satan, I will remember Your angels are around me, Lord.

Amen to this! It is comforting to know that in the midst of temptation and trial not only is our Lord a very present help, but we are also receiving help from ministering angels. It's a blessing just to mull that over in my thoughts today!

Currently, due to certain Eph. 6 issues, we are experiencing certain things that ought not to be. Please pray for us and for truth to be recognized and dealt with accordingly. In JESUS' name, Amen

what an encouragement to have this devotional "Angels are around by our father and senior brother in the faith Billy Graham, In this age of pessimism and negative preachings that paints the devil and gives him such a place he never have, we need a positive messages like Angels are around to boost our confidence on the God who is ever near His own, thank you very much Sir

As I was reading the post above I could not be but astonished that the prayer for the day was the very subject that the Holy Spirit led me to pray during my family prayer an hour ago.

Ronnie says 1.22.2013, 12:33 a.m.

Despair is a powerful tool of the enemy. But our Lord is infinitely more powerful, and He has not left us abandoned. His "holy ones" surround us, and the Holy Spirit is ever-present to help us!!!

Melanie says 1.22.2012, 05:59 a.m.

Thank you Father for our ministering angels. We call them forth and we confuse the enemies plans over our lives. We thank you God you have our back. Perfect love cast out fear. May we have a deeper revelation of who you are and your love for us...

Nana says 1.22.2012, 02:28 a.m.

Thank you for today's devotion. I was unsettled this week in my heart and I could not say what was disturbing me. After reading this devotion, my mind and heart is at peace. Thank you and God bless you, BGEA!

Annie says 1.19.2012, 12:50 a.m.

For He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways (Psalms 91:11). Thank You Lord Jesus, Your promises are, YEA....., and....., AMEN.....!

David says 1.23.2011, 6:20 p.m.

Thank you for the reminder Billy, that the power for us, so greatly exceeds the power against us. Christ is victorious and shares his victory with us. It is so extraordinary that God has made us family. How wonderful is our Dad in heaven and how amazing is His love for us His little ones. He protects us personally as every wonderful Dad is protective of his kids, and how lovely it is to be aware that angels play their role as His servants.

rae says 1.22.2011, 9:16 p.m.

After finding this website I experienced full joy, as it has been a hope of mine to see more of Billy Graham ministry for some time. Everytime I have heard his sermons I have "felt" his love for God. In our modern world today this is rare, thank you from my heart for providing continued access to a minister I may have otherwise missed due to time. May your ministry continue to be blessed.

Chad says 1.22.2011, 2:50 p.m.

There hath no temptation taken you but such is common to all men,but God is faithful who will not suffer you to be tempted above which you are able,But will with the temptation also provide a way out,So you will be able to bear it. (1 corinthians 10:13)Put on the Armor of God which is the Sword of the Spirit..Which is The WORD OF GOD. ..in Jesus NameAmen.

Gerry says 1.22.2011, 08:11 a.m.

Without God's daily intervention, Satan would crush us like a grape. Our Heavenly Father has promised to protect his family according to his perfect plan. Thank you Lord

Karen says 1.22.2011, 07:48 a.m.

After reading Rev. Graham's book on Angels, which is wonderfully enlightening, I, like Sam, remembered the many times that I was certain that the Lord's angels helped me. Our God is a mighty God, and His ways of caring for us are limitless. We need only to look and see!!!

sam says 1.22.2011, 06:17 a.m.

Every believer in this world can acknowledge, after a moment of pondering, the strong feeling of presence of the angels of the Mighty God we worship at decisive times of their life. And all those times would have been sheer moments of defeat for Satan.

mick says 1.21.2011, 11:40 a.m.

Without His Strength we are easy pickings for Satan's society.
