But they said to her,”You are beside yourself!” Yet she kept insisting that it was so. So they said,”It is his angel.” (Acts 12:15)

When Peter was in prison and an angel of the Lord set him free, Peter went and knocked on the door where the others were and Rhoda went to the door. When she heard Peter’s voice, she was so excited because they had been praying for his release, she ran back without opening the door and everyone thought she was hysterical. When they realized that she was speaking truth, they didn’t think it was Peter but rather his angel. Peter had an angel assigned to him and the devil perverts that by assigning demons to us as well. Demons can only perform the devils work if we open the door to them through sin, while angels perform God’s will over us as we speak His word through declaration and prayer.

We all have at least two angels given to us at birth. Jesus even speaks of angels for children. The Lord said that He would never leave us nor forsake us and that He would give His angels (plural), charge over us to keep us in all our ways. We always pray to God for Him to direct His angels, we never pray to angels. What gives angels direction and power is God’s word. In Psalms it says that the angels wait to hear God’s word and they hearken to perform His word. They hear God’s word through us speaking it. This is why when we speak, we either speak life or death. There are spiritual beings waiting to hear what comes from our mouth. When we speak, we expose what is in our hearts. When our hearts are poured out through what we say, we will then have what we say. If we speak death we will receive death, if we speak life we will receive life. We are either employing angels or demons with our words.

Be encouraged and know that you have assigned angels. In knowing this, remind yourself to say what God says so that life may flow from us and that life may be brought to us!
