Dear Friend,

We live in a world of two realms. There’s the physical realm and there is the spiritual realm. And anything and everything physical is always preceded and caused by something spiritual. Everything that is visible (physical) is spawned by that which is invisible (spiritual).

Therefore, if you’re going to fix the physical,
you must first understand and address the spiritual.

There is a chain of command in the angelic ranks. Satan, before he rebelled, was Lucifer. He was called an archangel. Michael is also called an archangel. Archangel means first in command, highest in authority under God. They rule over the other angels (or, in Satan’s case, demons). Revelation 12 describes how Michael will lead an army of angels against Satan and his army of angels. They are the commanders.

The cherubim are God’s royal guard. Cherubim were placed at the garden of Eden when God banished Adam and Eve from the garden. So cherubim have a major role to play in protecting the glory and holiness of God.

Seraphim are God’s noble attendants. The word seraphim means “burning ones” or “nobles.” They continuously sing, “Holy, Holy, Holy, is the Lord of hosts. The whole earth is full of His glory” (Isaiah 6:3). In other words, seraphim worship the Lord 24/7.

Next we have the four living creatures (see Revelation 4:6). They are positioned around God’s throne. They have eyes in front and back, and when they say, “Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lord God, the Almighty, who was and who is and who is to come” (Revelation 4:8), those surrounding them fall down and worship God and cast their crowns before the Lord, saying, “Worthy are You, our Lord and our God, to receive glory and honor and power” (Revelation 4:11).

Based on these descriptions, it’s no wonder that when angels show themselves to humans, the angels’ first words are “Fear not.” These are awesome, fearsome beings.

It becomes obvious that we need to be under God’s authority because we need divine direction and intervention, and there’s no way that is possible if we step out from under His authority. God does not hear the prayers of people who do not respect His authority.

So don’t wait until you are facing trouble to go to your Authority. Learn to live under God’s authority every moment of every day. Be like the angels who worship God continually. Pray often. Read God’s Word. Operate under God’s authority with total allegiance and He will help you to accurately test the spirits.

And remember: “Greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world” (1 John 4:4).

Understanding and accessing God’s authority granted through His angels is a powerful tool in the hands of believers. That’s why we are making one of our most popular teaching series, Angels: Good, Bad and Ugly, available to you this month for your gift to the ministry of any amount. Be sure to request yours today. God’s best to you as you walk in His ways, always!

For the King,
