Everything is not “fun and games” with the Lord’s servants: His angels.
Sometimes the angels come with a corrective word. Such are meant for our help; but the words still sting. Think of the angel with Balaam and the donkey: (Numbers 22:22) – “But God was angry because he (Balaam) was going, and the angel of the LORD took his stand in the way as an adversary against him.”
I am sharing this corrective word that was brought to me through the angel Wisdom. I am not personally thrilled with it. But I wish to show you all aspects of the ministry of angels thereby, hopefully, giving you a greater understanding of the breadth of their work and service to our Lord.
LOOP-DE-LOOPS
VISION: MAY 2006
Wisdom appeared and called to me:
“Come, Anna.”
We joined two angels who took me by the hand and began flying with me in loop-de-loops. Each time we looped we returned to the location where we first started.
Wisdom: “How much time are you giving to loop-de-loops?”
I did not know if I was giving any time to them. I was not really sure of their purpose.
“What are loop-de-loops?” I called to her.
“They are activities,” Wisdom said. “You start at one spot and end at the same spot – but, there is much activity in between. You have engaged in much activity but gone nowhere.”
“Over and over you make the same choices – engaged in much activity – but no real progress,” she called to me.
“That did not sound good,” I thought.
“How do I stop the loops?” I called to Wisdom.
She answered: “Take your mind out of idle. It will always drift toward the flesh.”
The angels put me down in front of Wisdom. (I was a bit light headed.) She continued: “In the future, when it is time for a decision to be made, do not reason yourself out of the promptings of the Spirit.”
She looked at me and shook her head: “You con yourself, Anna. You reason away the pure clarity given to you by the Spirit because you have an ulterior motive, (a fleshly desire) … you want something more than you want Christ. By dismissing the promptings of the Spirit, you think you will get what you want by repeating a failed pattern one more time.”
She continued: “You tell yourself that this time it will work. Then, once again you drop your mind into idle, it drifts toward the flesh and you begin the loop one more time.”
“In the end you are older, but have arrived back at the same spot. Some loop-de-loop their entire lives away.”
Wisdom concluded “This time, when the moment comes to once again lie to yourself – don’t. That one decision will change everything.”
She smiled: “You will straighten out the loop.”
