4 Kingdom Laws for Understanding Angels
There
are certain kingdom laws in the Word of God that angels abide by, and if we are
to benefit from having angels as our allies, we too must abide by those laws.
The kingdom of God dwells within us. If Jesus is Lord in our lives, then His
kingdom has come through us. The kingdom of God is also yet to come. Its
"fullness" is still to come because we are still waiting for Jesus to
return. All who are saved are children, yet the rights of sonship — which include
angels, miracles, and signs and wonders — belong to those who have been
baptized in the Holy Spirit. The kingdom of God brings power and life into the
world - angels are a part of that realm
we call the kingdom of heaven

It is essential for us to know how to be in a
prime position to receive and activate God's supernatural (and often
miraculous) influence of angels in our world.
One of the main things we need to understand
is how the kingdom of God works in relation to us and our earthly realm.
There are certain kingdom laws in the Word of
God that angels abide by, and if we are to benefit from having angels as our
allies, we too must abide by those laws.
Here are a few points to help us understand
God's kingdom and make this connection between His laws and our angelic allies.
1. The kingdom of God
dwells within us. If Jesus is Lord in our lives, then His kingdom has come
through us (Luke
17:21).
Yet we will only have full access to it and
its resources when we are born again by the Spirit of God (John 3:5).
This access to kingdom resources requires a
willingness to change (repent) and a submissive, broken spirit (Matthew 3:2; 6:33.)
With the kingdom of God present all around us
through angelic miracles, with old walls between churches being broken down,
and with miraculous conversions occurring in the Islamic countries, it's clear
that we are living in a time of kingdom breakthrough.
2. The kingdom of God
is also yet to come. We do not yet see all the aspects and inner workings of
God's kingdom (Hebrews
2:8-9).
Its "fullness" is still to come
because we are still waiting for Jesus to return.
Jesus also confirms this in John 18:36 by
saying the kingdom of God is "not of this world."
3. The kingdom of God
intensifies through the Holy Spirit.
In the letters of the apostle Paul, he
calls the baptism of the Holy Spirit a guarantee of the powers of the world to
come in the here and now.
Furthermore, the powers of the kingdom are
released at our sealing and anointing (2 Corinthians 1:21-22; Ephesians 1:14).
I'm convinced that many Christians are
children of the kingdom but are not sons.
All who are saved are children, yet the
rights of sonship — which include angels, miracles, and signs and wonders — belong
to those who have been baptized in the Holy Spirit.
4. The kingdom of God
brings power and life into the world.
Angels are a part of that realm we call the
kingdom of heaven.
When a church or a believer is willing to
sell out to all God has, the angelic activity will increase exponentially.
In a suffering, sad and dirty world we need
this kingdom that is "righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy
Spirit" (Romans
14:17)
to be activated.
