As you know or if you have not already
learned that in meditating on the Psalms regularly I find that angels
are quite intriguing. Whether its the Angel of the Lord who has a sword
that comes from His mouth, who is our great protector, or a myriad of
Angels who are appointed to protect us from this spiritual conflict, yet
they are beautiful creatures who are intimately involved in our lives. Anytime we are in prayer and we start to feel this eternal peace, rolling our anxiety onto Him, it comes with this heavenly
vision of the armies of heaven shining His glory with the hope that we have a
future interest when we see these armies at first hand. If we could
imagine that even tho the sky's seem calm and have a blue glow to
them, yet if we were to have a vision of the spiritual forces in the
skies, there would be an amazing clear transformation of our view in gazing on an object,
having an illumination of a light and color as we feel unable
to find clearness in comparison to the objects we are used to seeing.
And
yet we are given a spiritual vision of Gods armies attending His
present salvation of us not only enlightening our eyes but in
having an effect on our present circumstances. And the angels of heaven
give us an experience of Gods saving purposes as the armies
of heaven are displayed before us by our Father in heaven acting to come
to our rescue . This personal feeling helplessness is
buttressed by our illumination of His unfathomable spiritual creation
coming from heaven to enact victory for us. Oh my, can we have more
confidence than that? For who can thwart His glorious appearance? Who
can conclude that God cannot do as He pleases? He does it
according to His divine order. May our eyes be opened to these powers
that are not seen yet are very real.
Gods order comes from that
divine knowledge. We know that the origins of all things comes from a
divine source. They come from God and not from a
principle. We are to have a new knowledge of confidence that He enacts His purpose even tho the world is trying to force their way upon us. God has
determined to reveal this order in the heavens as a buttress for our
confidence. The order we seldom see today with our
eyes in this physical universe. We are moved by a moral system
that causes us to react to the physical universe. But yet God comes to
us in the unseen universe. He has come in Christ who has established
His order. He determined who we are in acting
for us. But we worship Christ the word of God, through revealed truth by a divine method and not through the system of this world. If we
set our affections on things above then we will be confident that God
does as He pleases in spite of what the world teaches us about moral
order.
We can be raised up to rejoice. All of these glorious illuminations come to us in the light of the glory of God. For who can look upon His present
glory? But yet how can we conclude that there is no hope in His present
communication? How can we understand knowledge that is beyond the
normal means of communication? We find it in the Spirit who causes us to think and act correctly. The Spirit
communicates to us a living reality so that we are not mere
actors in a play of the worlds mindset to be forever
frustrated that there is nothing outside this present play. Oh my, now
can we conclude that God is the orchestra-tor of a much glorious unseen
connection that comes in all of the details of every movement of all of
the things of this world? Are we not under the obligation to see that
God is not only speaking in the universe so that we grow in confidence by viewing the movements with our eyes, but that He
is involved with all of the connections that we could never see and understand? Shall we say that He speaks so powerfully in us,
that we are confounded by the weight of the circumstances that we cannot comprehend?
