Assignments of Angels

everybody I'm Gloria Copeland our special friend Billy Grimm from prayer mountain in the Ozarks is with us again and we are in the midst of the revelation well actually we are in the beginning of the revelation the revelation in the beginning time is getting short we're chapter one and I said to you you didn't have to invite me back because we're not going to get through it in these two weeks but if we get revelation we're going to have to do more than skim the top of that the other two we're gonna have to look at it we're gonna have to turn over every stone and see what is he saying to us in this word and in this verse because it's time for us to read the book of Revelation not to be frightened of it you need to go back and watch the archives especially from Monday brother Hilton Sutton and of course John is on the Isle of Patmos and God then he has a special epiphany he's especially brought into the things of God and he sees the Lord Jesus Christ an angel and they give him a message for the churches will read and he is to write it into a book and then deliver it to the churches so Revelation chapter 2 is John's a cover lever revelation 1 John's cover letter in verse 4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia now John it describes himself in verse 10 of chapter one saying I was in the spirit on the Lord's Day and I heard behind me a great voice as of a trumpet now this is the voice of our Lord and Savior and he identifies himself as I am the aleph and I am the table the first and the last what you see right in a book and send it to the seven assemblies which are in Asia Ephesus Smyrna Pergamum Thyatira Sardis Philadelphia and Laodicea I turned to see the voice who spoke with me and being turned I saw seven golden lampstands these churches these assemblies are called lampstands and in the midst of the seven lampstands not apart from them in the midst of them in the midst of your church in my church there is one like unto the Son of Man clothed with a garment down to the foot and Girt about the paps with a golden girdle his head and his hairs white like wool as white as snow and his eyes as a flame of fire and his feet like unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace and his voice as the sound of many waters and he had in his right hand seven stars and out of his mouth when a to sharp two-edged sword and his countenance was as the Sun that shine a--the in his strength now he is appearing here he has appeared my grandson Brandon 23 years old saw him and he appeared wearing the breastplate of the high priest he appears here as the priest he is in we know that from the garment that is Girt about the paps with a golden girdle he is our high priest he's in his high priestly ministry and he is here appearing as the Ancient of Days he is the one who walked up and down in the eternities and we see him described as the Ancient of Days in the Old Testament he can appear he appeared to my grandson and he's appeared to brother Hagin and he appears in a certain way and in wonder brother Hagins visions of Jesus he said his eyes were as liquid love but here he can appear in different ways here he appears with his eyes as a flame of fire and his hair is white like wool and he he it's a dramatic appearance and he's in the midst of the churches he has in his right hand seven stars and out of his mouth when a sharp two-edged sword in his countenance was as the Sun shines in his strength and when I saw him I fell at his feet as dead I think that would happen to me too it happened to John the most loved overtaken by love and yet he in this presence of the Lord Falls is dead and he laid his right hand upon me this Ancient of Days this Alpha and Omega in the Greek but elephant taught this beginning and ending the one we know is Savior and Lord the second person of the Godhead he lays his right hand upon me saying unto me fear not I am the first and I am the last again he ties the beginning to the ending and he's gonna give it all to us here he's gonna provide us with the last things now I am he that lives and was dead he was crucified but he was raised from the dead I am him that lives and was dead and behold I am Alive for evermore amen and I have the keys of hell and of death in his death it says in Colossians chapter 2 verse 15 he made a show of them openly triumphing over them in it he came as a man and he lived a perfect life in a body as much God as God as God as much man as man as men and he then took all of our sins upon him and loosed us from our sins when he defeated death hell and the grave and was raised and then he has the keys of hell and of death and he says to John write the things which you have seen the things which are and the things which shall be Hereafter now the Bible tells us in Timothy that we are to study to show ourselves approved unto God a workman that needs not be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth the word of truth has to be rightly divided so this is a key to the whole book of Revelation this one little verse jesus said to him write the things which you have seen that's the past right the things which are right now and right the things which shall be after these things or in the future so we're gonna have to judge between these chapters what is past what is informational what is now and what is in the hereafter what is in the future we are also going to need to divide as to who is being spoken to we already know who's doing the speaking it's him who was who is who is to come Yahweh Jehovah now in different parts of this book the church is not in every part of this book in fact we're here in the first but we're going to go out of the picture very soon and it's going to take back up with Israel and the nations and those who are here in the last so we need to know how to divide between the three groups of people that a scripture can be written to and that is first Corinthians 10:32 give no one offence neither to the Jews nor to the Gentiles that means the nation's nor to the Church of God so part of this book of Revelation is going to be addressed to the churches but very soon after that it's going to go back and it's going to pick up with those 7 years that we call the tribulation period it's going to have a lot to do with that and the church is not on the earth during that time another thing to remember when you divide the book of Revelation is there's parallel action there's action on earth and there's action in heaven and the Bible is always clear about where that action is taking place and so we know that the church is not appointed to wrath when we get over to those 7 years and we're going to beginning to that next week we will see that the church is nowhere in their rights God but right here he gives us another key a key to the whole book verse 19 write the things which you have seen the things which are and the things which shall be Hereafter the mystery of the Seven Stars which you saw in my right hand the seven golden lampstands the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches or assemblies and the seven lampstands which you saw are the seven churches or assemblies so these seven churches which were in existence at that time these are the things which are he calls him lampstands he calls an assembly course you and I we are born-again believers we are in the body of Christ individually but there were other seven churches at that time there were more but these to me they're symbolic and they were alike regions they're all in Turkey they're not some of the other churches that that were there but he calls them all lampstands so a body of believers or a region of believers that he calls like the church in Fort Worth we might say or the church in Tulsa or the church in Singapore that that region he's addressing and it is to be his light it is to reveal him to the people of Singapore to the people of Fort Worth and so he calls them lampstands and then he says that he has in his right hand seven stars what are these seven stars he tells us we don't have to wonder the seven stars are the angels of the seven churches now here again when I began to study on the book of Revelation and I studied other commentators because you know other people that have been studying this longer than I have been and I'm an agreement with brother Hilton Sutton Hoo these angels are some of the teachers of the book of Revelation will tell you that they are the pastors of those seven churches but I don't think that could be because for one thing there's a word for bishops there's a word for the leaders of those churches and it's not that word it's angels and even though that does mean messengers this book of Revelation particularly shows us the work of angels and God and heaven with what's going on in earth there are fifty five references two angels in the book of Revelation and I believe like brother dr. Hilton Sutton wrote in his book on Revelation that these are angels who are in the heavenlies somehow associated with that church they are assigned to to the seven assemblies to provide assistance they are to be God's messengers to the church and to the pastor they are God's plan of communication between heaven and earth we're not just to be having rotary clubs down here on earth we are to be having let's dance and our lamp stands and light that we give it comes from the throne and these angels that are around the throne and then assigned to us now I think a good clue to this is Hebrews 1 verses 13 and 14 and I'll read that it's talking about Jesus and it's talking about how these higher than angels in the first chapter of Hebrews but in verse 13 it says but to which of the Angels said he at any time sit on my right hand until I make your enemies thy footstool are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation so in Hebrews 1:14 it says of the angels that they are ministering spirits they are sent forth to minister for them who are to be the heirs of salvation and in the new American Standard it says are they not all ministering spirits sent out to render service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation the amplified bible says are not the angels all ministering spirits servants sent out in the service of god for the assistance of those who are to inherit salvation I remember a brother Hagin Kenneth E Hagin telling about when the Lord told him don't pray about money the way you've been praying before he said I don't manufacture don't have money here in heaven I don't if I sent money down from heaven it would be counterfeit the money is all down in the earth he said now you begin here's how you do about money you claim what you need and then you send the ministering spirits out to get it for you and and he took brother Hagin to this first are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to minister for them who shall be the heirs of salvation he told you brother Hagin I didn't say they were to minister to you in this verse but I pointed out in this verse their particular ministry for you you send them out like you would a waiter or a waitress for your order so these ministering spirits are for the church and they are to aid us they are to help us they are to assist us and I think that they are rather like in in the in the Old Testament in the Book of Daniel we see the angel of a that fighting against God's angels we see the angel of Persia we see the angel of Greece yep in the heavenlies over this earth there are there is a there is a realm that Satan has set up his angels but God also has his angels which work with us and so I think these seven stars are the seven angels of those churches the lampstands and so then he begins the first letter the first church of he addresses chapter two and verse one and two the angel assigned to assist of the of Ephesus write this now these things saith he which holds the seven stars in his right hand who walks in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks he well Kendall sticks that says King James lamp stands he identifies himself as the one who walks in the midst of the churches do you ever think about when you meet together on Sunday morning that he's there walking inspecting and this reminds me of zechariah chapter 1 if you'll turn to the book of zechariah and in the book of zechariah zechariah the prophet has eight visions in one night and we can see here the working of heaven with earth and in zechariah chapter 1 and verse 8 he has his first vision i saw by night and behold a man riding upon a red horse and he stood among the myrtle trees that were in the bottom and behind him were red horses speckled and white the myrtle tree is the Hadassah and it is israel and he saw israel in a deep situation in the bottoms it literally says in the bottoms was israel but we see a man riding upon red horses now look like we're going to find horses spiritual horses and and writers in the book of Revelation but it's not the first time we see them in the Bible we see them here in Zechariah then said I o my lord what are these and the angel that talked in me said to me I will show you what these are and the man that stood among the myrtle trees Israel Hadassah answered and said these are they whom Jehovah hath sent to walk to and fro through the earth so Jehovah who's on his throne in heaven he sends messengers to walk to and fro and to inspect in the earth and they answered the angel of the Lord some say that's Jesus that stood among the myrtle trees and said we've walked to and fro through the earth and behold all the earth sits still in his at rest that sounds good but it isn't because Israel is in the bottoms it's in the depths and yet all the nations are oblivious to that fact this is Israel who has been called by God to reveal God to them and they're not they're oblivious to the fact that they're in the bottoms then the angel of the Lord answered and said O Lord of hosts how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah against which you had indignation these three score in ten years seventy and the Lord answered the angel and talked with me with good words and comfortable words so the angel communed with me and said cry saying that the Lord of hosts says I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion with a great jealousy and I'm very sore displeased with the nation's who are at rest for I was but a little displeased and they helped forward the affliction therefore thus saith the Lord I'm returned to Jerusalem with mercies my house shall be built in it saith Jehovah host and a line shall be stretched forth upon Jerusalem it shall come back into being and my cities shall spread abroad and the Lord hath yet to comfort Zion and he will choose Jerusalem but the what I wanted to show you in all this was God in heaven sends heavenly inspectors to see what's going on in the earth in 1980 or 81 I was in Russia in January and they were having a meeting at brother Hagins the annual Holy Ghost meeting and I got a call from my daughters they said mother this meeting has been going on for three weeks and you need to get home so I did get home and they told me what had happened with sister Wilkerson and I got home in time for the meeting but this had already happened that's why they called me in Finland to tell me she was in the meeting one night they were all caught up in the spirit the meeting kept going on and on and as they were caught up in the spirit in this building out at Rhema which seats about 2,500 people sister Wilkerson saw a writer on a white horse come through the end of the building and he rode up and down those aisles and she looked at him and she said sir what are you doing I went to her house after I got back home and she sat in her little din and told me all of this and she said it was Jesus I mean he was up on his right white horse of power right and I said sir what are you doing here and he said I am inspecting the troops about that time sister Hagen aretha tapped her on the shoulder and said he wants you to come up and tell what you're seeing so she came up and and told it now this was sister grace no sister Wilkerson sister Jeannie Wilkerson and sister Jeannie Wilkerson was the one that God used to prophesy to brother Hagin more than any other person and sister Jeannie Wilkerson then came up to the front and told what she was seeing and the writer came up on the white horse and he took this scroll that he had in his hand and he tapped brother Hagin and it went into brother Hagin Kenneth E Hagin senior and it says these are your orders until no man will keep you from fulfilling them no demon not even Satan himself and your own inadequacies your own weaknesses will not keep you from fulfilling these but Jesus told her I'm inspecting the troops now look what it says here in chapter 2 verse 1 and unto the Angel of the church at Ephesus write these things saith he that holds the seven stars in his right hand who walks in the midst of the seven lampstands Jesus he's Jesus Christ the same yesterday today and forever he still is walking in the midst of the Assemblies he still is inspecting the troops he still is seeing what commends them to fulfill God's call and purpose what they need to correct and then he encourages them to be an overcomer to every one of these churches he said every one of the seven churches he said the same thing he that hath an ear to hear let him hear what the Spirit is saying to the churches the Holy Spirit is still talking to the churches he's still talking to the Assemblies we're still to hear it and to every one of them he says to be an overcomer he never tells them he never gives them a hint that they're to be overcome Satan's future is to be overcome and the ones who are to overcome them right now are the churches in the earth today he's inspecting us he's inspecting our services are we hearing what the Spirit is saying to the churches hallelujah blessed be their endeavouring to hear yes we are Billy now be right back
