Angelic Visitations And Praying In Tongues: The Link Between Angelic Visitations And Praying In The Spirit

Angels are sent to help Christians do the will of God. It is so vitally important to pray in the spirit as often as one possibly can. It seems that praying in the spirit and angel activity are tied together.

There are things that are planned for every Christian that the angels know, but they are hidden from each of us for the moment.

I am amazed at the intricacy of God’s ways and how wonderful His thoughts are toward us.

The psalmist wrote, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; when I awake, I am still with You” (Psalm 139:17-18).

I remember the first time I encountered an angel. This event happened in the spring of 1982.

I did not pray to see an angel, nor did I particularly want to see an angel.

Previously, I had sensed that angels had come into my room while I was praying.

I was fully aware of the awesomeness of the presence of angels. And I was, as well, fully cognizant of the fear of the Lord that is upon His angels. I therefore had no desire to see an angel.

I remember seeking the Lord diligently at the time. I was asking God to help me deal with the workload that I was encountering with my college work.

I was asking the Lord to help me because I had given up everything to attend this college, and I had to keep a certain grade point average to stay in the program.

I was in a darkened room. It is important to note that the door to my dorm room was double-locked with a dead bolt.

I remember that while I was pacing the floor, I would momentarily open my eyes so I would not run into something in the room.

I would approach the closed and double-locked door in my dorm room and then turn and walk the other way toward the windows.

I did this continually for hours while I was praying in the spirit.

I wanted the revelation that was in my spirit by the Holy Spirit to come up into my understanding.

I really did not care how long it took for the truth to come up. I desperately needed to hear from God.

It was as though I were suspended above my body. I could see a large angel standing in the doorway. 

As I pressed on through in prayer, I started to spiritually sense freedom in the spirit all around me, and I also was spiritually sensing freedom within my entire being.

There are times when a person prays that one can feel the warfare going on around one’s being.

Then, it can suddenly become obvious that a breakthrough has arrived. The very air clears and the person praying feels free, as if he or she is free to fully breathe once again.

During this particular prayer time, suddenly, a huge surge of power hit me like a wave from the ocean.

I fell to the floor in the middle of the room. I could not move, but somehow I was able to see the room with my spiritual eyes, not my physical eyes.

It was as though I were suspended above my body.

I could see a large angel standing in the doorway.

The door had physically opened! That was just not possible because, as I noted previously, that door was double-locked.

I still was not mobilized as I watched the angel approach me. He bent down and grabbed me by the arm.

He lifted me up, and I regained some of my strength. As I stood before him, I noticed his attire.

From top to bottom, the angel wore a full Roman centurion’s uniform.

He was very tall. He may have been about nine or ten feet tall, and he perhaps weighed eight hundred pounds.

He spoke with such authority as he began to address me.

He said that he had come on behalf of the Most High God.

He said, “I have been sent from the presence of the Most High to tell you that you must separate yourself unto God. There are individuals whom you have befriended from whom you are to separate yourself. No longer spend time with these people, for not only are they not in the will of God, but these people are about to be judged.”

While he was talking to me, I saw the individuals about whom he was speaking. The group consisted of a group of people about twelve in number who had befriended me.

The angel started to talk to me about my calling, but then he was interrupted by the Holy Spirit.

I could not hear what was being said to him by the Holy Spirit, but he held his hand up to motion for me to wait.

He then told me that he was called immediately to another place.

He asked me to go to the prayer room, which was down the hallway.

He said that instead of his completing this message from the Most High God, the Holy Spirit would finish the message.

I was impressed with the awesomeness of this angel. He was standing within three feet of me. I wanted him to continue to talk to me.

I objected to this situation. I was impressed with the awesomeness of this angel.

He was standing within three feet of me. I wanted him to continue to talk to me.

I was looking at him and was studying his armor, which was very intricate and beautiful.

The power that came from this being was so amazing, and it was a natural reaction for me to want him to complete his message because no one would have wanted him to leave.

I felt safe because of the authority that I sensed within this angel. He walked in such godly authority, and awareness of his authority within just made me boldly confident in the protection of God.

I then said to the angel, “You are already here, so please, just finish the message.”

At this, the angel became very stern with me, sterner than he previously had been.

He said, “I said go to the prayer room, and do it now!”

At this, the angel turned and pointed to the prayer room door, which was down the hallway.

Then, the angel walked quickly down the hallway. As he walked away, he disappeared into thin air!

God’s foreknowledge had been revealed to me, and that angel was sent to warn me. This situation reveals one purpose of angels, and that is that they are sent to help Christians do the will of God. 

Six months after this experience with the angel, those twelve or so individuals were all expelled from college for misconduct.

If I had not listened to the angel’s warning from that evening, I would have been implicated as being part of their group, and I also would have been expelled.

The angel was sent to help me understand a situation that I could not possibly have personally foreseen at the time that the angel revealed it to me.

The angel also knew completely what would happen to these individuals in the next six months.

God’s foreknowledge had been revealed to me, and that angel was sent to warn me.

This situation reveals one purpose of angels, and that is that they are sent to help Christians do the will of God.

I often wondered why the angel did not visit the others who were expelled to warn them about their misconduct.

However, it seems as though he came to answer a prayer that I was praying in the spirit.

I was praying in the spirit without knowing that through my prayers God would respond and would be sure to give me helpful information concerning my future.

The information that the angel revealed assisted me in my life. This situation clearly demonstrates one reason why it is so vitally important to pray in the spirit as often as one possibly can.

I have had several visitations of angels after praying in the spirit for long periods of time.

This situation clearly demonstrates one reason why it is so vitally important to pray in the spirit as often as one possibly can. It seems that praying in the spirit and angel activity are tied together.

THE LAST TRUMP - Scriptures teach that Christians today are involved in a spiritual war while they live out their lives in this present age in this present world - when the Rapture takes place and the trumpet is blown at that time, that will be a signal to them that their part in the warfare is over - Paul refers to the last trump in 1 Corinthians 15 and in the immediately preceding chapter, 1 Corinthians 14, he refers to the blowing of a trumpet and there he’s referring to a military trumpet. He has military trumpets in mind when he’s writing 1 Corinthians 15. When he refers to the last trump which will be blown at the Rapture, he has a military trumpet in mind. When you study the Roman army and some of the Greek armies and even the Jewish army back in Bible times, when they went into war, they had a “last trump” that would be blown that would tell the fighting men, “Your time of fighting is over. It is time for you to go home and rest.” A “last trump” ended their time in the warfare. By analogy, the Scriptures teach that Christians today are involved in a spiritual war while they live out their lives in this present age in this present world. When the Rapture takes place and the trumpet is blown at that time, that will be a signal to them that their part in the warfare is over; their fighting in this present age is done in this spiritual war. It is time for them to go home to be with the Lord and rest together with Him in Heaven.

ByThe John Ankerberg Show



Dr. Renald Showers: According to 1 Corinthians 15, “the last trump” will be sounded, and then according to Matthew 24 there will be the sound of a great trumpet when the Lord Jesus comes out of Heaven in His glorious Second Coming.
And so, some say, “Look, you obviously have a trumpet blown at the Rapture. It’s the trump of God. It’s the last trump. And you obviously have a trump being blown at the Second Coming of Christ after the Tribulation Period, therefore, the Rapture and the Second Coming must take place at the same time.“
Silver Trumpets Archives · Mini Manna MomentsAnd if it’s the “last” trump at the Rapture, which is what 1 Corinthians 15 says, then this has to be at the Second Coming of Christ.
It couldn’t be before because if the Rapture is taking place before the Second Coming and there’s a trumpet there which is supposedly the “last” trump, but then later on, maybe seven-years later, you have a trumpet at the Second Coming of Christ, then how could the trumpet at the Rapture be the last trump when you’ve got a trump supposedly seven-years later at the Second Coming of Christ?
IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE: DECIMATING THE MID AND POST ...Well, let me point something out to you with regard to this.
Even the trumpet that will be blown at the Second Coming of Christ will not be the absolute last trumpet blown here on planet Earth.
When you go to Zechariah 14, we are clearly told there that during the Lord’s reign upon the earth — this would be during the future Millennial Reign — that the Feast of Tabernacles is going to be observed every year here on the earth.
And we’re told in verse 16, “It shall come to pass that everyone that is left of all the nations which came against Jerusalem shall go up from year to year to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, and to keep the feast of tabernacles. It shall be that whoso shall not come up of all the families of the earth unto Jerusalem to worship the King, the Lord of Hosts, even upon them shall be no rain.”
And He goes on to indicate that, verse 18, “if the family of Egypt go not up and come not that have no rain, there shall be the plague wherewith the Lord shall smite the heathen that will not come up to keep the feast of tabernacles,” indicating that every year throughout the Thousand Year Reign of Messiah upon the earth the people of the world will be required to observe the Feast of Tabernacles.
Now, when you study what’s involved with the Feast of Tabernacles, you have the blowing of trumpets in the Feast of Tabernacles.
This means you will have the blowing of trumpets every year throughout the Thousand Year Reign of Christ.
Thoughts for Daily Devotion: WE CAN BE READY...!
So, the trumpet that’s blown at the Second Coming of the Lord will not be the absolute last trumpet that’s blown on planet Earth.
Neither can you automatically equate the trumpet at the Rapture with the trumpet of the Second Coming of Christ.
Then, why is the trump of the Rapture called “the last trump”?
Well, it’s not indicating the absolute last trump; it’s got another significance to it and there are several possibilities with regard to this.
For one thing, it’s interesting that Paul refers to the last trump in 1 Corinthians 15 and in the immediately preceding chapter, 1 Corinthians 14, he refers to the blowing of a trumpet and there he’s referring to a military trumpet.
In light of that, it would appear that he has military trumpets in mind when he’s writing 1 Corinthians 15.
So, it could very well be that when he refers to the last trump which will be blown at the Rapture, he has a military trumpet in mind. What’s the significance of that?
When you study the Roman army and some of the Greek armies and even the Jewish army back in Bible times, when they went into war, they had a “last trump” that would be blown that would tell the fighting men, “Your time of fighting is over. It is time for you to go home and rest.”
A “last trump” ended their time in the warfare.
By analogy, the Scriptures teach that Christians today are involved in a spiritual war while they live out their lives in this present age in this present world.
When the Rapture takes place and the trumpet is blown at that time, that will be a signal to them that their part in the warfare is over; their fighting in this present age is done in this spiritual war.
It is time for them to go home to be with the Lord and rest together with Him in Heaven.
In addition, when you read about the use of trumpets in the military of the ancient world, particularly with the Romans, they had a first trump that signaled when a man was to start his watch on guard duty, but then they had a “last trump” which signaled that his time on guard duty was over and again it was time for him to go home.
In other words, before that last trump he’s on watch; he’s watching, watching, watching to be on guard. But when the last trump is sounded, that tells him his watching is done, he can go home.
Scriptures also teach that while Christians are living in the world in this present age, we are to continually be watching, watching, watching and the idea again could be that when the Rapture takes place and that trumpet is sounded, it’s a signal to them, “this is the last trump signaling that your tour of duty on the watch is completed and now it’s time for you to go home.”
Raymie🦁👑 on Twitter: "#TheRaptureIsAtHand 🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺🎺 1 ...So, the expression “the last trump” there in 1 Corinthians 15 in conjunction with the Rapture does not mean the absolute last trump in a sequence but it’s tied in apparently with military terminology back in Paul’s day.
And the fact that Paul, when he mentions the last trump, doesn’t explain to the Corinthians what he meant by that indicates that they understood what he meant by “the last trump.”
And they were very familiar, being part of the Roman empire, with that terminology of “the last trump” signals used for Roman soldiers, whether their fighting is done or their tour of duty on the watch is over for that day.
So that would have a tremendous significance to them in light of those military uses of the day.
