WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:10.000 Very cool. So, we now are going to dialogue a bit about angels. Okay. So, oh, hey, guys. 2 00:00:10.000 --> 00:00:15.000 How you doing? I ask my kids that all the time. I'm like, hey, when did you get here? 3 00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:20.000 And they're like, I've been here for my whole life. 4 00:00:20.000 --> 00:00:26.000 All right. Key anchor text. So, again, you know, frequent question. I want to see angels. 5 00:00:26.000 --> 00:00:31.000 Pray for me, you know. And so, angels are beautiful. Angels are kind. 6 00:00:31.000 --> 00:00:35.000 But we want to understand a little bit more about the context of angels. 7 00:00:35.000 --> 00:00:40.000 So, I want to, again, we have a short amount of time, but I want to build a framework for the angelic 8 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:43.000 before we just start giving how-to, you know. 9 00:00:43.000 --> 00:00:48.000 And so, Hebrews chapter 1 verse 14 is really a great one. 10 00:00:48.000 --> 00:00:54.000 Are they all not ministering spirits sent out to serve the sake of those who will inherit salvation? 11 00:00:55.000 --> 00:00:59.000 So, they are ministering spirits, angels they are. 12 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:04.000 So, we're going to discuss who they are. What are the different roles of angels? 13 00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.000 Not all of them, but a few, just to kind of whet our appetites a little bit. 14 00:01:08.000 --> 00:01:11.000 And then, what are some keys to co-laboring with, you know. 15 00:01:11.000 --> 00:01:15.000 And, again, you're learning this about me over the past days. 16 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:20.000 I'm a very practical person, and I like to work smarter, not harder. 17 00:01:21.000 --> 00:01:24.000 That's one of my goals. I want to work smarter, not harder. 18 00:01:24.000 --> 00:01:30.000 I'm not looking to go crazy. I just, you know, but I tend to overcomplicate things. 19 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:34.000 So, I'm reverse engineering that to just, hey, I'm going to work smarter, not harder. 20 00:01:34.000 --> 00:01:42.000 And so, if there's a long prayer line of people, typically what someone will do is they'll pray for every single person. 21 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.000 I'm like, huh, how do I work smarter here and not harder? 22 00:01:45.000 --> 00:01:50.000 Then, I think I've done things where I'm like, hey, everyone in this, I'll just start shouting. 23 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:53.000 Everyone in this prayer line, who needs physical healing? 24 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.000 And then, let's say, you know, 80% of the people raise their hand. 25 00:01:57.000 --> 00:02:04.000 And I'm like, okay, if everyone could just walk over to the wall and then touch the wall and then come back, 26 00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:08.000 then just do that. And they're like, okay. 27 00:02:08.000 --> 00:02:11.000 I just walked over here, and now I'm walking over there, and I'm doing a lot. 28 00:02:11.000 --> 00:02:12.000 I'm guessing I'm getting my steps in. 29 00:02:12.000 --> 00:02:15.000 So, anyway, a lot of people walk over, they touch the wall, they come back. 30 00:02:15.000 --> 00:02:17.000 And all of a sudden, they're like, oh, my gosh, that's crazy. 31 00:02:17.000 --> 00:02:19.000 I just got healed just in that exchange, whatever. 32 00:02:19.000 --> 00:02:21.000 And I'm like, cha-ching, that's great, okay. 33 00:02:21.000 --> 00:02:23.000 And then, you know, I work down from there. 34 00:02:23.000 --> 00:02:24.000 So, I'm always thinking that. 35 00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:30.000 And then, what happened was I gave counsel, and then power was released in that counsel, right? 36 00:02:30.000 --> 00:02:31.000 Does that make sense? 37 00:02:31.000 --> 00:02:33.000 And so, Jesus told the man with the withered hand, stretch out your hand. 38 00:02:33.000 --> 00:02:35.000 And he's like, well, it's pretty difficult. 39 00:02:35.000 --> 00:02:36.000 I don't know if I could do that. 40 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:37.000 Like, he didn't say that. 41 00:02:37.000 --> 00:02:40.000 It said he stretched out his hand because Jesus said, stretch out your hand. 42 00:02:41.000 --> 00:02:42.000 So, he's like, well, okay. 43 00:02:42.000 --> 00:02:43.000 And he did it. 44 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.000 So, what are some different roles of the angels? 45 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:48.000 We'll kind of dissect that a little bit. 46 00:02:48.000 --> 00:02:51.000 And, again, some practical keys to co-laboring. 47 00:02:51.000 --> 00:03:00.000 If you could say this with me, the king of the kingdom rarely does anything by himself. 48 00:03:00.000 --> 00:03:04.000 This really, so, a lot of people are like, well, why does God need angels? 49 00:03:04.000 --> 00:03:06.000 Or, I don't even care about angels. 50 00:03:06.000 --> 00:03:07.000 Why do we pay attention to them? 51 00:03:07.000 --> 00:03:09.000 I don't want to worship angels. 52 00:03:09.000 --> 00:03:11.000 Like, I don't want to be deceived by an angel. 53 00:03:11.000 --> 00:03:13.000 I hear a lot of talk about angels. 54 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:16.000 And it's a lot of the negative part about it, right? 55 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:21.000 And so, I don't want to necessarily elevate the problems with it. 56 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.000 I want to elevate the virtue of it. 57 00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:29.000 And this really helps me to put into the paradigm of there's a king and there's a kingdom. 58 00:03:29.000 --> 00:03:33.000 And the king of that kingdom does not like to do things alone. 59 00:03:33.000 --> 00:03:36.000 It's just not the way that God operates, you know? 60 00:03:36.000 --> 00:03:43.000 But we tend to only see God in one dimension, and we tend to only see God that he does everything. 61 00:03:43.000 --> 00:03:44.000 But that's just not the case. 62 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:46.000 And look at this. 63 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.000 The father sends the son, right? 64 00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:51.000 We could all agree on that. 65 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:56.000 Jesus is, the announcement of Jesus is coming. 66 00:03:56.000 --> 00:04:01.000 And you think that this is probably, or this is one of the most important things, 67 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.000 because the argument could be made the cross was the most important thing, 68 00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.000 the resurrection was the most important thing. 69 00:04:06.000 --> 00:04:09.000 You know, it's all the package of Jesus. 70 00:04:09.000 --> 00:04:17.000 But the arrival of Jesus and the message about Jesus was one of the most important events in all of history. 71 00:04:17.000 --> 00:04:21.000 And you think at the level and the caliber of the importance of that event, 72 00:04:21.000 --> 00:04:27.000 that Jesus, that the father would have himself come to Mary and said, 73 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.000 Mary, you are going to bear my son. 74 00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:34.000 But he doesn't, oddly enough. 75 00:04:34.000 --> 00:04:36.000 He sends Gabriel. 76 00:04:36.000 --> 00:04:39.000 I think that does something for me in my mind. 77 00:04:39.000 --> 00:04:41.000 Does that make sense? 78 00:04:41.000 --> 00:04:44.000 So in the sixth month, you guys see what's happening here. 79 00:04:44.000 --> 00:04:50.000 But Gabriel arrives to Mary and gives her this announcement about the Christ child, 80 00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:56.000 about Jesus, and about this whole schematic that's about to happen, this game plan. 81 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:59.000 And I think that alone is fascinating. 82 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.200 I love traveling in entourages, like with a bunch of people, right? 83 00:05:06.200 --> 00:05:09.320 When I go to a party, I like showing up with a bunch of people, you know? 84 00:05:09.320 --> 00:05:12.440 When I go to an event, you know, my life is an entourage. 85 00:05:12.440 --> 00:05:17.240 We got kids, you know, it's just, we go into a restaurant and we are the restaurant, you 86 00:05:17.240 --> 00:05:18.240 know? 87 00:05:18.240 --> 00:05:20.520 And like, everyone looks and they give us triple takes, right? 88 00:05:20.520 --> 00:05:24.600 You know what a triple take is? 89 00:05:24.600 --> 00:05:25.600 It's like that. 90 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:26.600 So we get that all the time. 91 00:05:26.600 --> 00:05:27.600 Like, it's just the way that it is. 92 00:05:27.600 --> 00:05:28.600 But I'm like, I like this. 93 00:05:28.600 --> 00:05:32.160 It's just an entourage, you know, and it's just like, I have this company that I travel 94 00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.160 with. 95 00:05:33.160 --> 00:05:39.000 Psalm 18 says that the Lord has this chariot and he rides on top of the wings of the wind 96 00:05:39.000 --> 00:05:42.720 and wherever he seems to go, the cherubim go with him. 97 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.320 So it's not like, the Lord's not hurting, he doesn't need, you know, the Lord's like, 98 00:05:47.320 --> 00:05:50.960 I'm not lonely, I need people to be, I need beings to be around me. 99 00:05:50.960 --> 00:05:52.120 It's like, that's not the case. 100 00:05:52.120 --> 00:05:57.880 It's just the Lord wants to involve everything into everything that he does because he's 101 00:05:57.880 --> 00:06:00.240 not afraid of competition. 102 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:03.440 Some of us are afraid, like, oh, if I involve these people, they're gonna cut me out. 103 00:06:03.440 --> 00:06:06.560 And the Lord's like, no, no, I wanna involve you and you'll be greater than me. 104 00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:07.560 Like, that's the Lord's paradigm. 105 00:06:07.560 --> 00:06:11.680 But he's like, I wanna pull you into this whole world I'm doing. 106 00:06:11.680 --> 00:06:17.360 So he empowers the angels to be able to do stuff in this space. 107 00:06:17.360 --> 00:06:26.980 All right, biblical context, we have both the Hebrew and the Greek talk about angels 108 00:06:27.080 --> 00:06:28.220 as being messengers. 109 00:06:28.220 --> 00:06:32.260 So angels are beings that carry a message. 110 00:06:32.260 --> 00:06:33.260 Angels are not God. 111 00:06:33.260 --> 00:06:34.260 Say that with me. 112 00:06:34.260 --> 00:06:35.940 Angels are not God. 113 00:06:35.940 --> 00:06:38.520 Angels are not Jesus. 114 00:06:38.520 --> 00:06:41.660 Angels are not the Holy Ghost. 115 00:06:41.660 --> 00:06:49.300 They are distinctive from, that's okay, you don't have to, but they, I wonder how far 116 00:06:49.300 --> 00:06:53.380 we could go with that and be like, we're on break now, we're on break now. 117 00:06:53.380 --> 00:06:56.960 Okay, so I see an angel, I see an angel, okay, so you get it. 118 00:06:57.940 --> 00:07:01.280 But the angels are the ones that carry the message, and they're the ones that carry the 119 00:07:01.280 --> 00:07:03.440 message of the King. 120 00:07:03.440 --> 00:07:10.700 And the message of the King is just as important as what the King, it holds such a high importance. 121 00:07:10.700 --> 00:07:15.200 And so Jesus even says, or God says in Jeremiah chapter one, right, we talked about that earlier, 122 00:07:15.200 --> 00:07:17.200 hey, Jeremiah, what do you see? 123 00:07:17.200 --> 00:07:18.200 A branch. 124 00:07:18.200 --> 00:07:20.640 And then God says, hey, you see accurately. 125 00:07:20.640 --> 00:07:25.680 And then God makes this amazing statement and he goes, I watch over my word so that 126 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:27.720 it comes to pass. 127 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.280 How does it come to pass? 128 00:07:30.280 --> 00:07:32.240 A lot of times it's the angels. 129 00:07:32.240 --> 00:07:35.080 The angels are the administrators of heaven. 130 00:07:35.080 --> 00:07:39.560 And so some of you are like, oh, I just, you know, I'm always finding myself in an administrative 131 00:07:39.560 --> 00:07:40.560 role. 132 00:07:40.560 --> 00:07:45.480 You are like a messenger, you are like an angel, you are a mediator, you are one that 133 00:07:45.480 --> 00:07:49.720 brings the structure that needs to happen. 134 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:54.120 And I mean, I think Chris shared it beautifully this past week in the prophetic conference, 135 00:07:54.120 --> 00:07:58.400 but there's so many times that things are happening and the angels are there making 136 00:07:58.400 --> 00:08:00.200 sure it all happens. 137 00:08:00.200 --> 00:08:03.920 And I've done this so many times where I go to a church I've never been to before, and 138 00:08:03.920 --> 00:08:07.560 I fall into a trance, and in the trance I see a vision, and in the vision I see someone 139 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.840 sitting on the third row wearing a specific outfit with a specific name and this whole 140 00:08:11.840 --> 00:08:15.720 thing or whatever, and I either draw a picture or I write it down or whatever, and I come 141 00:08:15.720 --> 00:08:20.320 into the church and I say, hey, there's a woman third row, you know, or whatever, whatever. 142 00:08:20.320 --> 00:08:24.820 And then the lady says, that's so funny, because I walked out of my house this morning 143 00:08:24.820 --> 00:08:28.900 dressed in an outfit, and I thought, no, I got to turn around and change. 144 00:08:28.900 --> 00:08:33.559 And she turns around and changes and walks back out and goes, oh, this isn't right either, 145 00:08:33.559 --> 00:08:35.240 and goes back into her room. 146 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:36.240 What was happening? 147 00:08:36.240 --> 00:08:40.360 There was an angel at the door going, no, no, no, that's the wrong outfit, no, no, not 148 00:08:40.360 --> 00:08:41.360 that one either. 149 00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:45.840 All right, third time, okay, you got this one. 150 00:08:45.840 --> 00:08:51.960 And so what happened, right, so it's, this happens all the time with us, where it's like, 151 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.420 you know, you're delayed, you're in church, and you're like, oh, you've been thinking 152 00:08:55.420 --> 00:08:58.680 about a friend, and you're like, oh, I just really got to connect with that friend, and 153 00:08:58.680 --> 00:09:01.520 then you're talking to someone, you're like, I got to get out of here, you know, and just, 154 00:09:01.520 --> 00:09:05.960 and then you go to your car, and then someone is like really slowly getting into their car, 155 00:09:05.960 --> 00:09:14.340 and you're like, the gift of peace be upon me right now, and that there's no compassion 156 00:09:14.340 --> 00:09:18.380 in you, like someone's getting in their car, and you're like, okay, just, you know, I was 157 00:09:18.380 --> 00:09:21.980 compassionate an hour ago, now I'm not compassionate, just get in your car already, I got to get 158 00:09:21.980 --> 00:09:26.300 out of here, you know, and with all of those delays, finally, then you end up getting to 159 00:09:26.300 --> 00:09:31.780 the store, you walk in, you look by the fruit, and all of a sudden, you see the person that 160 00:09:31.780 --> 00:09:35.260 you've been thinking about for the past six hours, and you're like, they're right there, 161 00:09:35.260 --> 00:09:38.420 and you're like, oh, my goodness, and they're like, oh, that's so funny, I never, and they 162 00:09:38.420 --> 00:09:41.180 say, that's, how many times does this happen to you? 163 00:09:41.180 --> 00:09:43.100 I never come to this store. 164 00:09:43.100 --> 00:09:45.340 I didn't even know it existed. 165 00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:48.900 I've been living in this town for a hundred years, you know, like, you know what I mean, 166 00:09:48.900 --> 00:09:52.020 like, like, how many times has that happened, you're like, I just, I just never, I do that 167 00:09:52.020 --> 00:09:55.300 all the time with people, I'm like, I never come to this store, you know, and they're 168 00:09:55.300 --> 00:09:59.940 like this, and then all of a sudden, they're like, oh, my, the Lord is administrating this. 169 00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:02.000 But what is happening there? 170 00:10:02.000 --> 00:10:07.280 The angel is making that poor sister take her time to get in the car so that he could 171 00:10:07.280 --> 00:10:10.920 have other angels on the other side of town, hurry the other lady up, okay, get to the 172 00:10:10.920 --> 00:10:14.360 fruit already, you know, and like, okay, okay, okay, move it, move it, you know. 173 00:10:14.360 --> 00:10:17.760 And sometimes I'm like, I'm feeling, like I'm walking, I'm walking, I'm walking to the 174 00:10:17.760 --> 00:10:22.840 car, I'm like, is there someone behind me, kicking me, it's like, oh, the angels, they're 175 00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:26.600 administrating that space, right, does that make sense? 176 00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:30.440 And so sometimes there's this whole unseen thing that's happening that if we actually, 177 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:34.160 if we actually just took time to look into it, rather than get frustrated about a situation, 178 00:10:34.160 --> 00:10:38.440 now, I think that there's also demonic attack, I have this, every time I'm late somewhere, 179 00:10:38.440 --> 00:10:42.220 there's always a white car that comes in front of me and just driving outrageously slow, 180 00:10:42.220 --> 00:10:47.120 it's like they're on dispatch, like, Francesco just left his house, quick, I'm pulling in 181 00:10:47.120 --> 00:10:53.560 front of him right now, okay, quick, go 10 miles an hour, okay, slow it down to six, 182 00:10:53.560 --> 00:10:57.440 the speedometer doesn't even register six miles an hour, please, please, we're in a 183 00:10:57.440 --> 00:11:01.800 residential neighborhood, I know, I know, but the speed limit is 25, please, please, 184 00:11:01.800 --> 00:11:04.800 and I don't wanna drive around them because when I get to the meeting, that person is 185 00:11:04.800 --> 00:11:08.080 gonna park next to me, you know, and they're gonna be like, and then they're gonna wave 186 00:11:08.080 --> 00:11:14.360 and be like, hi, you know, and I'm like, oh, hello, you know, and so, anyway, this, clearly 187 00:11:14.360 --> 00:11:21.400 this has never happened to any of you, but this is where we're at, you know, but so there 188 00:11:21.400 --> 00:11:26.480 is demonic attacks, but a lot of times it's the angels that are administrating things 189 00:11:26.480 --> 00:11:31.640 along the way to get us into the right spots and that whole thing, right, so here's some 190 00:11:31.640 --> 00:11:36.600 roles of the angelic that just helps me out of what's happening with the angels, angels 191 00:11:36.600 --> 00:11:41.240 are guardians, right, according to Psalm 91, they guard us up in all of our ways, angels 192 00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:46.000 are messengers, right, we have Gabriel coming to Mary, hey, I have a great announcement 193 00:11:46.000 --> 00:11:51.040 for you, pretty much the greatest announcement that's ever been given or ever will be given, 194 00:11:51.040 --> 00:11:55.120 I'm giving it to you right now from the heart of the Father in heaven on His throne, we 195 00:11:55.120 --> 00:12:01.320 have angels that function in a function of war, right, we have 2 Samuel chapter 5 where, 196 00:12:01.320 --> 00:12:04.160 you know, they're getting the battle strategy and they're like, hey, when you hear the angels 197 00:12:04.160 --> 00:12:08.840 walking on top of the balsam trees, then circle around this way and so they're like, okay, 198 00:12:08.840 --> 00:12:13.180 I'm only gonna wait to when I hear the angels walking, when I hear the angels marching, 199 00:12:13.180 --> 00:12:18.080 I'm going, but if the angels aren't marching, I'm not going, right, and so that's submitting 200 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:22.480 to the plan, I love how Joshua sees the commander of the armies of the Lord and he goes, are 201 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:26.120 you with us or against us, and the commander's like, no, no, no, you got this wrong, are 202 00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:30.920 you with me, you know, so I think there's a beautiful recalibration there because sometimes 203 00:12:30.920 --> 00:12:35.280 we're like, you know, angels, are you with me, and the angel's like, no, no, no, no, 204 00:12:35.280 --> 00:12:40.960 you're either with us or you're doing your own thing, so we have angels that are functioning 205 00:12:40.960 --> 00:12:44.800 in war, we have angels that are functioning in worship, one of their roles, their primary 206 00:12:44.840 --> 00:12:49.400 functions and roles is worship, you know, Revelation chapter four and five, there is 207 00:12:49.400 --> 00:12:54.160 a door standing open in heaven and a voice that called out to me, come up here, and instantly 208 00:12:54.160 --> 00:12:57.640 I was in the spirit and I saw, right, and this whole thing happens with John when he's 209 00:12:57.640 --> 00:13:01.800 on the island of Patmos and so we have these angels that are worshiping tens upon thousands 210 00:13:01.800 --> 00:13:06.960 of angels and I think, this is a little humorous, but I think sometimes we get into spots and 211 00:13:06.960 --> 00:13:11.920 we're like, oh, I went to this place and I saw an angel, and we celebrate over the one 212 00:13:11.920 --> 00:13:16.360 and I'm like, that's great, but listen, all of us have angels that are guarding us right 213 00:13:16.360 --> 00:13:21.880 now and let's say there's, what, 200 people here, 100 people, 50, whatever, whatever the 214 00:13:21.880 --> 00:13:26.520 number, there's 200 people times, let's say, there's maybe two or three or four angels 215 00:13:26.520 --> 00:13:32.160 each per person, you know, and so that's like, whatever the math is there, 600, 800, 900, 216 00:13:32.160 --> 00:13:35.760 so now there's pretty much probably about a thousand angels floating around in here, 217 00:13:35.760 --> 00:13:41.400 just kind of hanging out, just busy, they're busy, they're doing things, they're administrating 218 00:13:41.400 --> 00:13:45.240 the people on text messages back home, they're administrating things, they're coordinating, 219 00:13:45.240 --> 00:13:48.680 there's a vast network of communication, we get excited about telecommunications, like, 220 00:13:48.680 --> 00:13:53.160 oh, I got the new iPhone 100, you know, whatever it is, it's like there's such a network of 221 00:13:53.160 --> 00:13:59.000 communication through the angelic that's happening and so we obviously have that. 222 00:13:59.000 --> 00:14:03.320 So there's so many angels that are always around and what they're doing, we have angels 223 00:14:03.320 --> 00:14:08.720 that are ambassadors, we have Daniel chapter 7, he's in this dreamlike state and he's seeing 224 00:14:08.720 --> 00:14:12.920 these visions and he's like, he's perplexed at these visions that he's having and then 225 00:14:12.920 --> 00:14:18.200 he just, he's in a vision and he looks over and he sees a dude standing there and this 226 00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:23.000 one guy who is an angel goes, hey, let me tell you, let me tell you what this is happening, 227 00:14:23.000 --> 00:14:26.880 you know, and so we have an angel that's an ambassador, like a translator, just kind of 228 00:14:26.880 --> 00:14:32.280 translating, hey, this is what's happening, we have angels that are healing, listen, this 229 00:14:32.280 --> 00:14:35.880 is interesting to me, people are like, wow, like, you know, who really cares about the 230 00:14:35.880 --> 00:14:37.920 ministry of angels? 231 00:14:37.920 --> 00:14:38.920 Jesus. 232 00:14:38.920 --> 00:14:45.320 Jesus is, Jesus in two places, he's in the wilderness, he's in the garden of Gethsemane 233 00:14:45.320 --> 00:14:51.220 and it says at the end when he was in the wilderness that he was tired, he had fasted 234 00:14:51.220 --> 00:14:57.520 for 40 days, he overcame and conquered the devil and all of his craziness and all of 235 00:14:57.520 --> 00:15:00.080 a sudden it says that and angels were ministering. 236 00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:09.280 to him there. Jesus is the highest being in all of creation. Jesus is our model for ministry, 237 00:15:09.280 --> 00:15:17.280 Jesus is everything, and angels were coming to minister to him. That's beautiful. Jesus 238 00:15:17.280 --> 00:15:23.200 is in the Garden of Gethsemane, and in Luke chapter 22, where are we at here? 239 00:15:23.200 --> 00:15:33.480 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven strengthening him. If Jesus could have angels 240 00:15:33.480 --> 00:15:40.680 strengthen him, I want angels to strengthen me. I don't worship angels, I don't even do it part 241 00:15:40.680 --> 00:15:47.080 time. I don't worship angels, I worship Jesus. But if the Lord decides to send an angel to me 242 00:15:47.080 --> 00:15:54.040 to strengthen me, I'll take it. I'll take two. It's great. So we have that. We have angels of 243 00:15:54.040 --> 00:15:58.520 celebration. When one gets saved, do you know that angels are all over heaven celebrating? How 244 00:15:58.520 --> 00:16:02.720 beautiful is that? We have angels that are commissioning. We have an angel of the Lord 245 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:09.360 showing up to Gideon in Judges chapter 6. He shows up to him randomly. Hey, God is with you, 246 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.760 mighty warrior, right? What is he saying? He's affirming identity. He's commissioning him into 247 00:16:13.760 --> 00:16:20.400 his identity, into his God-given state of identity when he's in hiding. I think that's beautiful. 248 00:16:20.400 --> 00:16:26.640 So those are just some roles of how to function in that. And let me just say this. I want to share a 249 00:16:26.640 --> 00:16:31.760 few stories as we talk about keys to co-labor, just to build a little bit of hunger and excitement 250 00:16:31.760 --> 00:16:35.920 in that space. Because some of you might be sensing things, feeling things, perceiving things 251 00:16:35.920 --> 00:16:42.000 right now, and the angels are just busy. They're busy around the room. And when we talk about angels, 252 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:50.720 they work in overdrive. They just get excited. I think if we just understand where we're at 253 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:57.120 and what we do in our relationship with the Lord, that also is a magnet for angelic activity. 254 00:16:57.120 --> 00:17:02.800 For example, I shared earlier, when I treat my wife beautifully and I love her with a pure heart 255 00:17:02.800 --> 00:17:09.119 and we have a great space and I'm honoring her as my bride, it actually attracts angelic activity. 256 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:14.319 How do I know that? Because the Lord said to me, I love when your heart is pure. Now, there's also 257 00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.880 verses on this, right, about keeping your heart sweet and not allowing the root of bitterness 258 00:17:18.880 --> 00:17:23.680 to take offense. And there's that. And when all the sacrifices in the Old Testament, 259 00:17:23.680 --> 00:17:29.680 2 Corinthians 3, this was a sweet-smelling aroma that was to the Lord, you know. 260 00:17:29.680 --> 00:17:35.920 And so we have all this biblical understanding on that, that it actually, 261 00:17:35.920 --> 00:17:39.280 angels are attracted to that because that is an aspect and an element of worship, 262 00:17:40.000 --> 00:17:46.800 an aspect of sacrifice, an aspect of beauty in that way. So if we understand that, like the Lord 263 00:17:46.800 --> 00:17:52.560 said to me one time, he goes, Francesco, you're funny. And I said, thanks, Lord. Thank you. And he goes, 264 00:17:52.560 --> 00:17:58.320 when you make people laugh, it actually attracts angelic activity. And I was like, oh, that's... 265 00:17:58.320 --> 00:18:03.440 So now when I go into situations, people are like, oh, Francesco, you're being funny. I'm like, no, 266 00:18:03.680 --> 00:18:09.120 I'm attracting angelic activity. I'm attracting a heavenly activity. So there's a different purpose 267 00:18:09.120 --> 00:18:12.880 in mine. I'm not just being funny to be funny. Like, I guess I'm funny. I don't know. I don't 268 00:18:12.880 --> 00:18:17.440 think. I'm just talking and, you know, words come out. But I think there's even a mindset shift that 269 00:18:17.440 --> 00:18:23.440 I'm having over the years of like, oh, when I'm doing this, when I buy my wife flowers, when I 270 00:18:23.440 --> 00:18:27.440 treat her well, when I go out of my way to love her, when I go out of my way to do something for 271 00:18:27.440 --> 00:18:34.320 my kids, something is happening there that is greater than just, okay, I made food for my family 272 00:18:34.320 --> 00:18:39.840 even if I didn't want to. You'd be like, oh, yeah, I made breakfast this morning for the family, 273 00:18:39.840 --> 00:18:43.600 whatever, whatever. No, that's not the case. There's something greater that's happening 274 00:18:43.600 --> 00:18:47.520 in the spirit realm that's reflecting in our actions, if we understand that. 275 00:18:48.240 --> 00:18:54.320 Keys to co-laboring. I'll share this story. This is fun. We're sitting one day with a few people 276 00:18:54.320 --> 00:18:58.960 around the table, and I look at this one guy. He's sitting to my side, and I look at him, and I just 277 00:18:58.960 --> 00:19:05.280 do a double take. So it's not a triple take. It was a double take. A double take is twice, right? And so 278 00:19:05.280 --> 00:19:10.000 I look at him. So he's sitting there. He's wearing glasses. We're eating dinner, and I look at him 279 00:19:10.000 --> 00:19:15.680 once, and then I look at him again, and when I looked at him the first time, it was blurry, but 280 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:20.480 only over his eyes. And now the first time, I'm like, oh, no, do I have a medical condition? 281 00:19:21.040 --> 00:19:25.920 Is the first thought in my mind. I'm like, do I look up WebMD? Don't do that. If you have a 282 00:19:25.920 --> 00:19:30.560 random pain in your body, don't look up WebMD. You want encouragement? Do not go to WebMD. 283 00:19:30.560 --> 00:19:35.680 You come out, and you have some sort of life-threatening disease that you got to 284 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:41.920 admit yourself to a psych ward. Don't do that. So I was like, oh, no, do I have a medical condition? 285 00:19:41.920 --> 00:19:46.480 And then I looked again, and it was still blurry, and it was only blurry just over his eyes. So the 286 00:19:47.360 --> 00:19:52.640 whole area was totally fine. Everything was totally in focus, but over his eyes, it was blurry, 287 00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:56.800 and I thought, I wonder if there's angelic activity happening over his eyes. 288 00:19:57.600 --> 00:19:59.920 And so I just said to him, hey, I feel like there's 289 00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:02.960 It's just some angelic activity happening over your eyes. 290 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:04.520 Check out your eyes. 291 00:20:04.520 --> 00:20:07.560 And he goes, takes his glasses off, 292 00:20:07.560 --> 00:20:09.280 puts his glasses back on, 293 00:20:09.280 --> 00:20:11.640 takes his glasses off, starts laughing. 294 00:20:11.640 --> 00:20:13.620 And he goes, my vision's correcting. 295 00:20:13.620 --> 00:20:16.040 And I was like, oh, nice. 296 00:20:16.040 --> 00:20:16.880 And then that was it. 297 00:20:16.880 --> 00:20:19.120 And then we just went on to the next thing, you know? 298 00:20:19.120 --> 00:20:20.360 Like, it wasn't a big deal. 299 00:20:20.360 --> 00:20:22.320 It was like, oh, oh, that's awesome. 300 00:20:22.320 --> 00:20:23.560 Okay, and so how's your cousin? 301 00:20:23.560 --> 00:20:26.200 You know, he says, and so it was just, 302 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:27.960 do you like the coffee?
