20Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.
Notice
that the verse says that angels are “heeding the voice of His word”.
Now, who gives voice to God’s Word? Each time you and I quote God’s Word aloud,
we give voice to His Word. And when angels hear God’s Word given voice, they
respond!
The
Bible says that at the end of Daniel’s three weeks of fasting and praying for
an answer from God, Angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said to him, “I have come
because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12)
So
when angels hear you saying, “Thank you, Father, no evil shall befall me nor
shall any plague come near my dwelling” (Psalm 91:10), they will come to your
aid because you are giving voice to God’s Word.
And
even if you do not quote a verse perfectly, they can still come to your rescue.
This was what happened to a lady in America. While walking home after an
evening church service, she was attacked from behind by a man and dragged
towards a dark corner in an alley. In that frantic state, she remembered only
one word from that evening’s sermon. So she shouted, “Feathers! Feathers!” The
man released her and fled.
Feathers?
What did she mean? She was actually referring to Psalm 91:4 — “He shall
cover you with His feathers, and under
His wings you shall take refuge”. In that state of panic, she
remembered only one word — “feathers”, and it was enough to cause her attacker
to flee. You see, it is not the ability to quote a whole verse accurately that
has power, but faith in God, which is released by quoting just one word.
If you know God’s Word by heart, but do not open
your mouth to proclaim His promises, the power of His Word cannot be released.
The Bible does not say that angels heed His Word. It says, “… His angels,
who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.”
So give voice to God’s Word and see His angels respond. Angels are activated
when you speak His Word!
