The invisible warriors.

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. Matthew 18:10

To us the invisible dimension seems implausible, but Jesus and the scriptures speak to beings that are not human who are part of God’s creation and serve Him. Yet there was a mutiny in that ‘place’, and some had to leave their first estate.

And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. Revelation 12:7-9

One of these dimensions currently invisible to us is called ‘heaven’. Is it the fourth or fifth dimension or something else – it is not described in the scriptures, but at one point God will bring the dimensions together. Those who have had ‘near death experiences’ (NDE) and many who have had visions of heaven often remark that heaven is the REAL place and earth and this existence seems ‘lessor’.

There is this ‘spiritual realm’ / dimension that is ever present all around us — in fact that is where the spiritual warfare takes place, between the forces of God versus the enemies of God.

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Ephesians 6:12

Why do I bring this subject up? This “idea” just popped in my head this morning that angels at the orders of the King have ‘saved’ me more times than I have been aware of being hurt or killed. That in my regular goings on in this life – angels have been dispatched to make sure I stay alive and not be taken out before my ‘time’. I can recount several very obvious times in my life where I KNOW angels were there to save me from harm. But the “idea” wasn’t about those times, it was about all the times that I had no clue, yet they were there doing their duty to save and help me. The love of the Father is there to make sure I have every possible chance to choose Him at every moment He had destined for me to experience. Mind boggling.

Because of those realms being invisible we so quickly dismiss them, yet now math and science also declare their existence. To ‘walk with the Holy Spirit’ is to be aware of what He is teaching me, about the Father’s heart, intention, and creation. That includes this invisible spiritual realm we so easily forget as we go about our day.

The truth of the matter is that you are being ‘watched’. By your family, friends, and others, as well as by angels, and by many from the evil army (fallen angels, demons). Our life impacts WAY more beings than we actually know.

For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known. 1 Corinthians 13:12

The lie of the enemy is that we are alone and isolated. I believe if we could see with spiritual eyes we would be astounded at our surroundings and how busy the spiritual realm is.

When the servant of the man of God rose early in the morning and went out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was all around the city. And the servant said, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?” He said, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” Then Elisha prayed and said, “O Lord, please open his eyes that he may see.” So the Lord opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha. 2 Kings 6:15-17

Praise God for His everlasting mercy and grace who is there in our time of need – even though we don’t see it.

Shout for joy in the Lord, O you righteous! Praise befits the upright. Psalms 33:1

My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, Psalms 145:21

Let your voice be heard today in all the many dimensions praising the Lord!
