HEBREWS 13:1-2 "TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL"

:1 Let brotherly love continue. 2 Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.

BY WAY OF DEFINITION.....AN ANGEL IS A SUPERNATURAL BEING CREATED BY GOD TO SERVE HIM

TWO OF THEIR PRIMARY FUNCTIONS ARE… THEY ARE MESSENGERS &

THEY PROVIDE PROTECTION

HYOU BIBLE READERS REMEMBER IN EXODUS CH. 3 WHEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SHOWED UP TO MOSES IN THE BURNING BUSH AND GAVE HIM A DISTINCT MESSAGE CONCERNING THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL

YOU REMEMBER IN WHEN THE ANGEL OF THE LORD SHOWED UP TO SAMSON’S PARENTS WITH A MESSAGE CONCERNING HIS BIRTH AND LIFE OF SERVICE TO THE LORD

THESE ANGELS WERE ACTING AS MESSENGERS OF THE BEHALF OF GOD!

YOU BIBLE READERS REMEMBER IN GENESIS CH. 18 WHEN THREE ANGELS VISIT ABRAHAM...

THEY REVEAL GOD’S PLAN BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY THEY PROVIDE PROTECTION...

GODS ABOUT TO DESTROY SODOM AND GOMORAH AND ABRAHAM HAS A BACKSLIDEN NEPHEW NAMED LOT LIVING THERE

SO ABRAHAM PRAYS FOR HIM … AND ITS THE ANGELES GO THERE AND PROVIDE PROTECTION BRINGING LOT OUT SAFELY AND UNHARMED

YOU REMEMBER IN DANIEL CHAPTER 6 .. WHEN DANIEL WAS THROWN IN THE LIONS DEN IN VS 22 DANIEL SAID THAT THE REASON WHY THE LIONS DID’NT EAT ME IS BECAUSE GOD SENT HIS ANGEL TO SHUT THERE MOUTHS

AND CAN I SUGGEST THIS MORNING THAT YOU OUGHT TO THANK GOD FOR ANGELS...

King James Version Psalm 34

7  The angel of the LORD encampeth

Round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.

King James Version Chapter 1

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

HEBREWS

King James Version Chapter 1

14 Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?

AND CAN I SUGGEST THAT THE REASON WHY YOU JUST MISSED THAT ACCIDENT … IS BECAUSE GOD SENT AN ANGEL

YOU KNOW WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE IN A SITUATION AND SAY MAN THAT WAS CLOSE..... NO THAT WAS GODS ANGEL PROTECTING YOU.

AND SO THE HEBREW WRITER PICKS IT UP HERE IN AND HE ADMONISHES US NOT TO NEGLECT ENTERTAINING STRANGERS

HE SAYS BECAUSE … YOU MIGHT JUST BE IN THE PRESENCE OF AN ANGEL

A FEW YEARS AGO I WAS ABLE TO MEET FOR THE FIRST TIME SISTER ELIZABETH COVINGTON AND HER LOVELY DAUGHTER GENE FOR THE FIRST TIME

IT WAS AT MY HOME CHURCH CHRISTIAN COMPASSION AT A FIRST TIME VISITORS RECEPTION

LITTLE DID I KNOW HOW GOD WAS GOING TO CONNECT US

BECAUSE EVERY TIME SHE CAME TO OUR CHURCH AND WE GOT A BIG CHURCH ...... SOMEHOW SHE WOULD FIND ME ....

I THOUGHT SHE HAD A TRACKER ON ME ...

BUT IT IS MORE APPARENT THAT SHE WAS MY ANGEL

TWO SIMILARITIES I WANT TO SHARE THAT MAKES ME BELIEVE THAT I WAS TOUCHED BY AN ANGEL THROUGH THE LIFE OF SISTER COVINGTON

I BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS A MESSENGER TO ME TO CONVEY THIS MESSAGE “ THAT GOOD GODLY PEOPLE STILL EXIST”

YOU WATCH THE NEWS I DON’T HAVE TO REHEARS IT

BUT SOMETIMES YOU SCRATCH YOUR HEAD AND WONDER … GODS CREATION IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS ...

WHEN YOU SEE THE HATE AND DISREGARD INJUSTICE AND PREJUDICES IN OUR WORLD TODAY ..

YOU FEEL LIKE MARVIN GAYE

MAKES YOU WANNA HOLLAR AND THROW UP BOTH YA HANDS

YOU GOT FAMILIES FIGHTING ONE ANOTHER

THE YOUTH DON’T RESPECT THE SENIORS ANYMORE

HATE GROUPS POPPING UP EVERYWHERE

BUT SISTER COVINGTON WAS ALWAYS NICE AND KIND AND FRIENDLY AND SHE ALWAYS GREETED ME WITH A HUG AND A SPECIAL KISS

SHE WAS A CONSTANT MESSAGE TO ME THAT GOOD GODLY PEOPLE STILL EXIST IN A CRUEL AND COLD WORLD

2 KINGS

2 Kings 6:16 LEB

And he said, “Don’t be afraid, for more are with us than are with them.”

 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha

16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them. 17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Lord, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see.

I ONLY EXPERIENCED A GLIMPS BUT YOU FAMILY HAVE A LIFETIME OF PRECIOUS MEMORIES

1 THESSALONIANS 4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him

2. I BELIEVE THAT SHE WAS A SIGN OF PROTECTION
