RELEASING ANGELS FOR SOUL WINNING

Another aspect of angels? roles, as we?ve already seen in Hebrews 1:14, is to minister to those who will inherit salvation. In other words, angels are involved in wining souls. So we can be more successful in soul winning if we simply say, ?Father, I ask angels right now, to come into the region to gather the harvest. Let angels come right now to win souls in the North, East, South, and West of my city. Father I release the angels.?
It is important that we release the angels?if we don?t, angels can be bound out of the battle. The Devil can be prevailing in his darkness in a region until we begin to release, bind and loose in heaven, and begin to pray to the Father to release the angelic hosts that we need as reinforcements. Scripture tells us that the god of this age is blinding hearts and minds?so there are times where souls can?t be saved because of deep darkness that covers the earth. However, as we begin to prophesy, we can command the captive to come out of His prison and we can begin to prophesy salvation into our city and region saying, ?Father, give us the reinforcements and give us the angels that we need. We release them right now. We acknowledge them in the region so they can come and help us get victory in warfare and so we can have the harvest.?

Jesus talked about angels coming to gather the wheat (Rev. 14: 15). He commands the angels: ?thrust in your sickle and reap, for the time has come for you to reap, for the harvest of the earth is ripe." God has assigned specific angels in heaven to world evangelism. As we pray to the Father, we can have an increase of harvest in our lives. That is one of the primary tasks of angels.


ANGELS HELP MINISTER STRENGTH AND HEALING

Another aspect of the angelic job description is that of ministering divine strength. When you are in a place of hardship, trial, warfare, suffering or you?re burned out and beaten down, it is scriptural for angels to come and minister to you. They ministered to Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane and after His forty-day fast. They imparted divine strength and life to Him. For those of you who have been in the desert or under attack by the enemy, I pray that the angels will come and minister to you now.

Angels are also messengers. Quite often they come in your dreams like they came to Mary and Joseph?they come and bring direction. Angels also operate in the area of healing. As I?ve already mentioned, the Voice of Healing angel has appeared several different times in the Pacific North West in recent years. Scripture also gives us an example of a healing angel. Often people think they?ve never heard of angels called Healing until I point them to John 5 where an angel came down at a certain season to stir the waters of the pool of Bethesda. Whenever the angel stirred the waters, whoever was first into the water would be healed.

Scripture also speaks of angels that bring divine protection. Everyone has a guardian angel and, according to Psalm 91, they lift us up so we don?t dash our foot against a stone. They also help us ?overcome the lion and the cobra.? The Bible also says the Angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him (Psalm 34:7).


ANGELIC AWARENESS BRINGS BREAKTHROUGH

Now let me show you the angel that is involved in your prayers. If you could live in the reality of this message and see what is going on in heaven when you pray and worship, you would see far greater supernatural manifestations in your life. We are called to a life of signs and wonders?as we set our mind on things above rather that the temporal, God will open the eyes of our heart to the invisible realm. We need to ruthlessly rid ourselves of all the distractions of everyday life that keep us from real supernatural Christianity. Meditating on the unseen realm and hearing about this stuff lifts us into a place of walking in the spirit realm.

I live in a place of breakthrough because I am so aware of the angels that I can say, ?Lord, let world-wide evangelistic angels come with me right now. I?m going to Uganda.? Then I?ll go to Uganda and they?ll give me a press conference and access to every television station and all the major newspapers in the whole country. I?ll go and preach and have an incredible revival because I say, ?God, let the harvest angels come with me. There are people who are going to inherit salvation. I don?t want the Devil and darkness to prevail over the crusade, so I release the angels right now. I loose them in heaven now in Jesus name.?


AN ANGEL CALLED PROMISE

Recently, I had an angel come to me in Kansas City. He said, ?Todd, my name is Promise, and I?ve come to bring the fulfillment of God?s promises. I?ve come to bring the fulfillment of the prophetic words spoken to intercessors. I have come for those who have been like Hannah?they have prayed, waited and carried a promise in their hearts. There will come a time when God has heard and I will release the Samuel,? Be encouraged?there is an angel called promise that is involved in bringing your intercessory breakthrough. When this angel comes into my meetings people get breakthrough and answered prayers. Look at the description of this angel in Revelations 8:1-6:

When he opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, and to them were given seven trumpets. Then another angel having a golden censer, came and he stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with the prayers of all the saints upon the golden altar which was before the throne. And the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel?s hand. Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And there were noises, thunderings, lightning?s, and an earthquake. So the seven angels who had the seven trumpets prepared themselves to sound.

Now pay attention here. There is a Devil in the invisible realm that wants to keep you from receiving the manifestation of God?s presence. God wanted Daniel to have a breakthrough on the first day he prayed (Dan. 10) but it took 21 days because of a demonic Prince called Persia. In the same way, at times our answers to prayers are delayed in the heavenly places because there is a demon or assignment keeping us from receiving our spiritual breakthrough. However, as our prayers go up before God?s throne as incense, they go into a bowl until it is full. Then the angel comes and releases the answer and the fulfillment of that promise.

On certain occasions, the angel of Promise has come into meetings where I was speaking to bring people delayed answers to prayers. In some cases, the very next day, in answer to prayers people have prayed for and waited on for years, breakthrough will come. People will get healed, financial breakthrough will come or miracles will begin to take place. So I?m asking that right now God will let the angel of Promise gather the incense that has gone up before His throne through the lives of every reader. Oh God, take the prayers of every intercessor and let an angel begin to release those prayers into the earth, pushing back the darkness, resistance and warfare that is wanting to keep them from spiritual breakthrough. Father I thank you for the angel called Promise.


ANGELS RELEASE FINANCES

Scripture also speaks of another angel that releases finances. I understand that God will supply all my need according to His riches in glory (Phil. 4:19). Do you know what that means? There are riches in glory because the earth is the Lord?s and everything in it. He is the God who supplies our needs according to His riches in glory. The bible even tells us that the silver and gold are His. So when I need a financial breakthrough I don?t just pray and ask God for my financial breakthrough. I go into intercession and become a partner with the angels by petitioning the Father for the angels that are assigned to getting me money: ?Father, give me the angels in heaven right now that are assigned to get me money and wealth. And let those angels be released on my behalf. Let them go into the four corners of the earth and gather me money. Let them gather my partners.?

You know why it?s important to pray like this? Because the Devil wants to cut off your cash flow. He wants to hinder and block your finances. He wants to do whatever he can to hinder you from receiving the blessing and provision that God has for you. Sometimes praying about it isn?t good enough because you need to prevail in heaven where the angels and demons are actually fighting. We want to push back the demonic forces, so sometimes we need to say, ?Father, let those legions of angels assigned to release financial breakthrough, come into the earth right now and loose the Devil from the money assigned to me. I call in that money in the name of Jesus.? Sometimes when I pray this way, bam! ? I?ve got the money I need within a few days. Yes, I get financial breakthrough because God is my source. If man doesn?t have it for me, God does. Yet the Devil is trying to keep it from getting to me. Even though God heard me on the first day, the Devil wants to delay it 21 days or as long as he can. But I?ve got to get the angels involved with my incense and say, ?C?mon God, let those angels come and help fulfill your word?you promised me the blessing of the Lord that makes one rich and You add no sorrow with it.?


EMMA, ANGEL OF THE PROPHETIC

Now let me talk about an angelic experience with Emma. Twice Bob Jones asked me about this angel that was in Kansas City in 1980: ?Todd, have you ever seen the angel by the name of Emma?? He asked me as if he expected that this angel was appearing to me. Surprised, I said, ?Bob, who is Emma?? He told me that Emma was the angel that helped birth and start the whole prophetic movement in Kansas City in the 1980s. She was a mothering-type angel that helped nurture the prophetic as it broke out. Within a few weeks of Bob asking me about Emma, I was in a service in Beulah, North Dakota. In the middle of the service I was in conversation with Ivan and another person when in walks Emma. As I stared at the angel with open eyes, the Lord said, ?Here?s Emma.? I?m not kidding. She floated a couple of inches off the floor. It was almost like Kathryn Khulman in those old videos when she wore a white dress and looked like she was gliding across the platform. Emma appeared beautiful and young?about 22 years old?but she was old at the same time. She seemed to carry the wisdom, virtue and grace of Proverbs 31 on her life.

She glided into the room, emitting brilliant light and colors. Emma carried these bags and began pulling gold out of them. Then, as she walked up and down the aisles of the church, she began putting gold dust on people. ?God, what is happening?? I asked. The Lord answered: ?She is releasing the gold, which is both the revelation and the financial breakthrough that I am bringing into this church. I want you to prophecy that Emma showed up in this service?the same angel that appeared in Kansas city?as a sign that I am endorsing and releasing a prophetic spirit in the church.? See, when angels come, they always come for a reason; we need to actually ask God what the purpose is. Within three weeks of that visitation, the church had given me the biggest offering I had ever received to that point in my ministry. Thousands of dollars! Thousands! Even though the entire community consisted of only three thousand people, weeks after I left the church the pastor testified that the church offerings had either doubled or tripled.

During this visitation the pastor?s wife (it was an AOG church) got totally whacked by the Holy Ghost? she began running around barking like a dog or squawking like a chicken as a powerful prophetic spirit came on her. Also, as this prophetic anointing came on her, she started getting phone numbers of complete strangers and calling them up on the telephone and prophesying over them. She would tell them that God gave her their telephone number and then would give them words of knowledge. Complete strangers. Then angels started showing up in the church.

I believe Emma released a financial and prophetic anointing in that place. That was the first angel that I have ever seen in the form of a woman. Some angels I?ve seen seemed like they were neither male nor female. However, Emma appeared as a woman who was like a Deborah, like a mother in Zion. When she came, she began to mentor, nurture and opened up a prophetic well. The people in the church began having trances and visions and the pastor began getting words of knowledge and moving in healing. That congregation also saw more financial breakthrough than they had ever seen before.


AN ANGELIC VISITATION OF BREAKTHROUGH

I was at another meeting in Atlanta when my wife, Shonnah, saw two financial angels walk into the service and pour oil out on the pastor. Shonnah then knew there was financial breakthrough coming. That night two people wrote the pastor cheques for $16,000 and $17,000 and others also wrote cheques to Fresh Fire for thousands of dollars, which we used for missions to the nations. In addition, many people experienced great financial blessing as well. The day after this angelic visitation one guy had millions of dollars released to him?he had been waiting for about 10 years for this breakthrough. All this financial release came because my wife saw two financial angels walk up and stand on the platform. Can you imagine? We need to pray for the Father to give us financial angels for our lives, our church and region. With this angelic assistance, we will prevail and overcome the warfare trying to hold back our financial breakthrough. Some of you don?t know how to use the angels in intercession like this. You don?t even know whether it?s OK or not.

Now here?s one more thing that angels do. According to Luke 16, the angels accompany us and take us into the presence of the Lord when we die. When the rich man and the beggar died the angels came and they took the beggar and brought him into Abraham?s bosom. The Bible is full of angels from the beginning to the end. We need to pray, ?God, let us see the angels. Let them come into the church, the city, and the region in Jesus name.? Are you ready to open the gate of heaven and release angels? Like Elisha, let?s cry out, ?God, open the eyes of our heart today.? Join with me as I pray:


PRAYER FOR ANGELIC VISITATION

Father we ask you in the name of Jesus, open the eyes of our heart to the invisible realm! God we hunger for the supernatural realm. We believe in cherubim and in Seraphim. God we believe in angelic hosts and guardian angels. We believe in healing angels and in angels that are involved in intercession. God we believe in the angels that are around your throne?those angels that cover and protect and move with your glory. Father let angels, cherubim, seraphim and angelic hosts be released into our lives and ministries today. Oh Lord of the armies let the warrior angels, the horses, the chariots and the sound of heaven come now. Lord open up the heavens that, like John in the book of Revelation, we would be immediately in the Spirit and would experience the open door in heaven. Holy Spirit, let us hear the invitation, ?come up here, come up here, come up here.?

Lord we want to understand the reality of the supernatural and of heavenly places. Lord, let scales come off our eyes just like they came off the eyes of the Apostle Paul. Holy Spirit come, enlighten the eyes of our understanding. Release the Spirit of Wisdom and of Revelation and take us before your throne. We want to experience the glory realm, the throne zone. Lord, thank you for the ministering spirits that do Your word and heed Your voice through the hearts and mouths of Your people. Lord, release the angels into our regions?legions of angels, oh God. As sons and daughters, we ask for angels in our lives, in our church and in our ministry. Let the children see angels oh God. Let angels come in our dreams oh God. Send angels with direction and with warnings, heavenly Father, we ask.

We your people look to you, oh Lord?we look to the Lord of hosts, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords and the Captain of the armies. Father, let the angels come in our worship and as we intercede and do warfare against the Devil and his demons. We need angelic reinforcements and renewed strength. We need the protection, breakthrough and healing that angels bring, oh God. Lord, release the noises of the throne, the lightning?s and thunderings of God. Holy Spirit come and manifest the glory with the gold, the creatures and the angelic beings. Like Isaiah we want to say, ?I saw the Lord and He was high and lifted up and His train filled the temple.? Lord, give us eyes and wings like an eagle. We want to be carried on the winds of Your spirit. We want to mount up, renewed in strength like the eagle. We are going to wait on You Lord.

Continue waiting on the Lord. He is bringing impartation to your spirit. Heaven is real. Heaven is a place, an eternal realm where we can experience and encounter God on a daily basis. Let?s continue praying:

Lord, we set our minds on the things above. We?re looking for the miracles and healings today, oh God. We?re looking for the breakthrough. Father, we ask that angels would come and strengthen all of us who have been in a place of suffering and warfare and desert. Lord let us feel the wind of angels? wings as they minister the life of God to us. Give us strength for the battle God. We have been in a place of hardship?we are weak, beaten and tired. Let those angels minister to us right now.


EATING FROM THE TREE OF LIFE

I see angels bringing some of you to the tree of life. Remember how God, in Genesis 3:24, sent the cherubim to guard the way to the tree of life because man had sinned. God took Adam and Eve out of the garden. But today the Lord wants to bring some of us into that place where we taste the fruit of the tree of life. I want you to get involved right now and say:

Father, please give us that fruit. Lord let those angels bring us right into the place where you have prepared a table for us in the presence of our enemies. Give us the divine life that comes from that tree so we can taste and see that the Lord is good. Father, we ask that you would send the angels of promise too. Release our breakthrough and promise. God, break the power of every demon sent to hold back what God wanted us to have the first day I asked. In Jesus? name, we break the delay in the spirit realm. We prophecy strength, life, restoration, healing and regional breakthrough. Lord, let your kingdom come in the name of Jesus. (Now I want you to keep warring and pushing back the darkness until you get an open heaven in the area you need breakthrough.) Father, send an angel of life, we pray. We release the resurrection life of Jesus in every place where there has been death in our lives. We say that winter is past and spring is coming into our lives and our region. We say that we are coming out of the wilderness leaning on the arms of our Beloved. We thank you, Lord, that you are making us a people and a church that overcomes the kingdom of darkness in our region. Father, thank You that we are arising triumphant and victorious as we come up out of the wilderness into new life.
