Psalm 103:20
20 Bless the Lord, you His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.
Notice that the verse says that angels are “heeding the voice
of His word”. Now, who gives voice to God’s Word? We do! Each time we
speak God’s Word, we give voice to His Word. And when angels hear His
Word given voice, they respond!
The Bible says that at
the end of Daniel’s three weeks of fasting and praying for an answer
from God, the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said to him, “I have
come because of your words.” (Daniel 10:12)
So when angels hear you
saying, “Thank You, Father, no evil shall befall me nor shall any plague
come near my dwelling,” (Psalm 91:10) they will come to your aid
because you are giving voice to God’s Word. Even if you cannot quote the
verse perfectly, they can still come to your rescue.
This was what happened
to a lady in the United States. While walking home after an evening
church service, she was attacked from behind by a man and dragged toward
a dark corner in an alley. In that frantic state, she remembered only
one word from that evening’s sermon. So she shouted, “Feathers!
Feathers!” Her attacker released her and fled!
Feathers? What did she mean? She was actually referring to Psalm 91:4 — “He shall cover you with His feathers,
and under His wings you shall take refuge”. In that state of panic, she
remembered only one word — “feathers”, and it was enough to cause her
attacker to flee. You see, it is not your ability to quote an entire
verse perfectly that releases God’s power, but faith in His Word and His
love for you. And one word from Him is enough to send your enemies
scurrying away.
However, if you know
God’s Word by heart but refuse to proclaim it, the power of His Word
cannot be released. The Bible does not say that angels heed His Word.
No, it says that “His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word,
heeding the voice of His word”. So beloved, give voice
to God’s Word and see His angels respond. His angels are activated for
your benefit when you speak His Word!
