Matthew 2:13 (NKJV) Now when they had departed, behold, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream
I was meditating over these dreams given to Jospeh and the wise men when the Scripture popped off the page. "An angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream," so, is this one of the angels God assigned to Jesus? When Jesus is thirty Satan came to Him and quotes the following verse.
Psalms 91:11& 12 (NKJV) For He shall give His angels charge over you,
To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
Jesus was not impressed that Satan knew Scripture and He was not enticed to have the angels who have charge over Him perform. Jesus had nothing to prove to Satan. So, He didn't take the bait.
Later in the garden when they have come to take Jesus to the High Priests, Peter strikes Malcus and cuts off his ear. Jesus addressed Peter. It was not his place to protect Jesus. It was and is the Father's.
Matthew 26:52-53 (NKJV) But Jesus said to him, “Put your sword in its place, for all who take the sword will perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels?
What about for you and I? Do we have angels assigned to us? I believe we have had an angel assigned to us since we were born, maybe even from the time we were conceived in our mother's womb.
Matthew 18:10 (NKJV) “Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven.
Maybe we only have an angel assigned to us until we reach the age of accountability, when we have the choice of believing in God the Father, Jesus Christ our Messiah, Savior and Lord, and Holy Spirit. My personal belief and understanding is that there is an angel assigned to me even now. I do happen to believe my angel is at least ten stories tall, masculine and a warrior among warriors in the spiritual realm. He has been kept busy to keep God informed of all the devil and his demons have tried to do to me and my family. I do not have to fight the enemy. God says, "Vengeance is Mine." Jesus already defeated the devil. Judgement day is coming for all of us, but those in Christ are a new creation and we are made new. The devil will face his end and it isn't going to be pretty or pleasant. There is no hope for him and his demons. I believe God will punish the devil for all he has put me through and tormented me with, just like I believe He will do this for you. My part, according to James 4:7: I am to submit to God, resist the devil and he will flee from me. Nowhere does it say I have to be perfect to defeat the devil. Nowhere does it say I have to fight to defeat the devil. Paul tells us we have to take a stand and withstand the devil. I have to show up to the battle, but God enters the battlefield and goes before me. I am never alone. I fight with the strength of God. I will never fight alone. God is with me and His angels are reporting to Him when I need extra help. God will intervene. I do not worship angels, but I am thankful for them. Jesus had angels who ministered to Him. It makes me think, God assigned angels to each one of us and when they are needed, He will send them to minister to us just like they did to Jesus.
Father, I stand in awe of You. You thought of everything. You have angels fighting for me. They tell You of all the devil and his demons have done. They keep You well informed. They also minister to me. I am in awe. When my heart is broken You send them to minister to me. When I am weak, You send them to minister to me. When the battle rages around me, You send them to fight on my behalf. I am not alone because You have assigned an angel to me. Thank You for making sure I have help. I am grateful for all You have given me to stand against the devil and his demons. I will stand in triumph as You lead the way in Jesus' name amen.
