Personal Angels - Our Match Made in Heaven

Mark Virkler's picture

Today we're going to have my daughter, Charity Kayembe, share the next segment of her awesome blog series with us.

Be blessed!

Welcome to part nine of Angels: God's Servants, My Friends. If you would like to read about the day Jesus introduced me to my guardian angels, as well as some Scripture verses He highlighted for me about them, please check it out here.
 

Look Look Looking

Daniel's life was filled with exciting visions of angels and it's no secret why. The Bible makes it clear that the reason he saw and saw and saw is because he looked and looked and looked (Dan. 7:2,9,13). It says the same thing about Zechariah's extended six-chapter-long visionary conversation with an angel. He kept on looking too (Zech. 1:18; 2:1, 5:1).

And in Revelation John said over and over, "I looked and behold...", "I looked and I saw...", "I looked and I heard..." (I love the looking and listening going together like that - Rev. 5:11, 8:13).

So while it seems obvious, I don't think it can be overstated. Taking the time to look is a definite key to seeing! Not just a quick glance, but fixing our spiritual eyes. Gazing intently. Focusing without distraction. That kind of looking.

I don’t see angels all the time, but I do see them whenever I look. I don’t see much in the natural realm with my eyes closed shut either. So in the same way I need to make sure and constantly be praying that the eyes of my heart be wide open and enlightened and looking to see what I can see (Eph. 1:18).  

Who Can’t Do This?

My brother Josh’s daughters have both seen angels. And Bekah especially is a totally different kiddo because of it. Before she used to be shy and timid and would sooner sit on the sidelines than go play with other kids on the playground.

Now, she’ll happily join in and make new friends at the park, or visit a new children’s church service – even without her brother and sister. She’s not afraid anymore because she sees that she’s not alone.

You ask her where her guardian angels are and she motions to either side of her. They’re always there, and she can always see them, and that makes all the difference in the world. No fear... a peaceful heart... new confidence. That’s some good fruit! And if it works for seven-year-olds, it can work for anyone.

A Kingdom of Joy

Job 38:7 says angels shouted for joy at creation. And since they're always in God’s presence (Matt. 18:10), and in His presence is fullness of joy, that would explain why my angels are always in such a good mood. They rejoice over one sinner getting saved, right? And sinners are getting saved all the time around the world.

Point being, I think angels in general, and God specifically, are all a whole lot happier and more fun than we might have figured them to be. They live in heaven, with no tears or sin or sadness. On earth as it is in heaven!

Multiple Personalities

That being said, I do also recognize that God is infinitely creative. So for as many different personalities that people have around the globe, I imagine angels also have an equally diverse range of them as well. Even my angels aren’t the same – definitely two distinct dispositions.

When my dad sees his angel, he is a giant soldier decked out in armor from head to foot. Since Mark means “strong defender” that’s perfect for him. God realizes that for dad, as the ‘fighter for truth’ that he is, a huge valiant warrior angel is what he would want to see. Anything less would be a disappointment!

Confessions of a Recovering Perfectionist

I’m a first born, Type A, goal-oriented perfectionist (read: control freak). Which means my angels have their work cut out for them! And also shows why their perfectly laidback, fun-loving, peace-keeping, joy-guarding personalities are exactly right for me. God wants to help us maintain emotional equilibrium and bring us into balance, so He will give us whatever we need and whoever we need to get us from where we are to where He wants us to be. 
 


What About You?

What kind of personalities do your angels have? One reader commented how she was naturally very disorganized, so the Lord sent her an angel of organization to help her get her home in order.

So what do you need more of in your life that your angels are helping provide you? And do you see any ways that their personalities may be complementing yours? Please feel free to share your angel stories with us. Thanks!

Charity, you are absolutely right concerning the transformation in Bekah's personality since she began seeing her two personal guardian angels. She has gone from fear to faith. Wow! Amazing. So much easier than trying to convince Bekah academically she does not need to be afraid.

As the church learns to see and hear in the Spirit world, the church will also move from fear to faith. They will see the Most High Rules, not the defeated foe. And yes, it is comforting to know that God has given me a warrior angel to stand at my side. The Lord told me I could send him to fight, and he would go, he would fight and he would win. Hm... as I write this, I am being reminded of a battle I should commission him on right now, so let me go do that. Charity, keep up the great work. Dad

Have you ever wished you could just sit down and have a long talk with the Lord? Wouldn't it be wonderful to move beyond having a theology that states that God loves you to actually hearing Him whisper words of love into your heart? When you're worried or confused, wouldn't you love to see the situation from His perspective and hear how He wants you to respond? When things don't seem to be going your way and your prayers aren't answered the way you had hoped, wouldn't it be great to hear Him tell you where He is in the midst of it, and what He is working out in your life?

We recommend that you order the newest revision of this book titled 4 Keys to Hearing God's Voice. It includes 95% of the content of How to Hear God's Voice but is reorganized so it fits perfectly with the 10 DVDs on this subject by Mark Virkler.

Twelve Weeks to Spiritual Mastery - Group Coaching

A group coaching experience with Mark Virkler

Because I could not find a Spirit-anointed teacher/coach, I spent ten extremely frustrating years seeking to hear God’s voice!!! Suggestions offered did not help me, things like: “You just know that you know. It is a still small voice. He speaks from your heart.” No one could give me the answer I needed which was: Hearing God’s voice is as simple as quieting yourself down, fixing your eyes on Jesus, recognizing His voice as spontaneous, flowing thoughts and writing down His flow as it is coming. Test what you have written after the flow is done, NOT while it is occurring.

Counseled by God

by Mark and Patti Virkler | 146 Pages

Have you ever been defeated by negative emotions such as anger, fear, guilt, inferiority, condemnation or depression? Have you tried to fight them off unsuccessfully? Is there an answer that is deeper than simply trying to mentally reason yourself out of these emotions? Is there a way that Jesus can speak a word of life into the depths of your emotional despair and bring healing on a deep level? Is there a form of Christian counseling that begins and ends with the movement of Christ within your heart, rather than simply with the words of man?

Do you often wake up feeling there was a significant message in your dream, but you’re just not sure what it is? Like Daniel and Joseph, do you long to be able to help others understand their own dreams and win them to Christ as you explain His night messages to them? Wouldn't it be nice if you could receive mid-course corrections from the Lord while you sleep? Do you wish you could be receiving divine inspiration, creative solutions to problems, and direction from the Lord during that third of your life that you’re “just” sleeping?
