After arriving at the top of Prayer Mountain, an angel descended. He seemed to have wings – but it was actually light fracturing on either side of him as he came down.
The angel ENCOURAGEMENT descending onto Prayer Mountain.
He spoke: “I am from the choir known as ENCOURAGERS. Our great King sends us to encourage His children and those whom He will. At times He sends us to the unrighteous to encourage them…such as Darius. But now, I am assigned here on this small mount.”
“‘Be encouraged,’ He is saying to those who seek Him here. Be of good cheer. He would have none departing from here who have not received His encouragement.”
“Our choir receives assignments from the Holy Spirit – the Great Encourager. He wants answers to be received, joy to replace sadness, clarity where confusion once held sway. Working with others (angels), we give a boost – an increased wattage you might say – to the help they provide. We also come alongside to facilitate encouragement that is not coupled with the work of others. In that case others may come to touch the fringe of that which I bring.” (I felt that this might be like strength or insight etc.)
“We who are of your Father’s kingdom, cooperate – even as His earthly sons are meant to do. His kingdom is a kingdom of unity and love. Each step that is taken in unity and love reflects His kingdom on earth. This has been a desire of your Father – that His children would bring heaven to earth through exhibiting His character.”
“Therefore, be encouraged. The King of kings and Lord of lords is with you.”
Our Heavenly Father looks upon us with love and tenderness. He knows we are in a day to day battle and become fatigued. Therefore, like the loving Creator that He is, He helps us Himself and also He sends angels to assist.
He not only reaches out to His children, but to the unsaved – as testified by the angel in Daniel.
(The angel is speaking:)
Daniel 11:1: “In the first year of Darius the Mede, I arose to be an encouragement and a protection for him.”
The angel encouraged him. Also, remember the angels that came to Jesus after the temptations in the wilderness: Matthew 4:11: “Then the devil left Him; and behold angels came and began to minister to Him.” They strengthened Him, after that taxing spiritual battle.
Even in this present day the Lord has not forgotten His children. He has sent this mighty angel to stand at this location (on Prayer Mountain) to encourage those who seek Him. We are blessed that He has provided one of the choir of Encourager Angels to tabernacle here.
NOTES
Albert asked why the angel referred to “choir” when talking about the other angels like the angel of Encouragement. I told him I was not sure but it seemed to be a reference to angelic members with the same gifting or something like that; not singers. Within his speaking of the word, there was the echo of the ancient guilds, but not like organized unions, simply those of like purpose. So I looked it up. First of all, a number of angels is usually called “a host.” However, that word: “host” is derived from the Latin “hostis,” meaning enemy, and hence came to mean an army – warriors for God. “Choir” is not only a gathering of singers, but can also mean a “band” or “a group”. Since these angels are not warrior angels, it seems that he referred to his group of angels as a “choir.”
