The Invisible World @ The Unseen Realm- By Rev Leonard Lim

The unseen realm is more real than the physical realm. It affects us every moment. Whatever we do in the physical affects the unseen realm. The wave of music and movies that received by the television and radio are real, though we do not see them.

Angels

There are angels that protect us and act on our behalf. When we are saved, we are actually entering into the angelic world. Salvation is a package of blessings. Hebrews 12:22 tells us we are surrounded by angels. “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels.” 2 Corrinthian 5:17 says We become a new creation. “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new. We were redeemed through the blood “ in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins” Colossians 1:14.

Angels are around us as surely as we stand on the hard ground. The question is, how many time we thank God for the angels He sent to protect us. We may forget God’s goodness and we might not feel the activities of the unseen world. But angels are still there. See Psalm 91:9-12 “ 9 Because you have made the LORD, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place, 10 No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling; 11 For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. 12 In their hands they shall bear you up, Lest you dash your foot against a stone.”

In the video replay of our life, we will see, not only the physical, but also the unseen activities around us. We shout be aware of the angels around us. Matthew 18:10 “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.” We have angels specially sent to watch over us. Acts 12: 1-12 – The activity of the angels were affected by the prayers of the church. Prayers affect the unseen world!! In every situation nothing is impossible to God.

2 Kings 6 – The unseen were affected by the prayer of Elisha. Elisha said “So he answered, “Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.” (2 Kings 6:16). Elisha was aware of the unseen world. One of the way to be an overcomer is to live in aware of the unseen realm. The angels are for us! The angels are sent to watch over us!!

3 Kinds of Angels

1. Warrior Angels – (Daniel 10)

War in heaven – Rev 12:7-8 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.

Michael – The chief angel.

Rev 12:12 -Therefore rejoice, O heavens, and you who dwell in them! Woe to the inhabitants of the earth and the sea! For the devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”

Prince – The chief one.

King – The minor @ smaller one.

Our prayer is not just to tickle God’s ears, but rather to move the unseen world into action.

2. Messenger Angel

Gabriel is a Messenger Angel. See Luke 1.

Why we don’t see angels?

Perhaps if we see them we might seek relationship with them rather than God.

3. The Worshipping Angels

Rev 5:11-12 – 11 Then I looked, and I heard the voice of many angels around the throne, the living creatures, and the elders; and the number of them was ten thousand times ten thousand, and thousands of thousands, 12 saying with a loud voice:

“ Worthy is the Lamb who was slain
To receive power and riches and wisdom,
And strength and honor and glory and blessing!”

There are 10,000 x 10,000 angels worshipping Jesus!

Lucifer – used to be the chief of Worshipping Angels.

But God cast him out of heaven due to his rebellion. He wanted to be God.

Ezekiel 28:12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say to him, ‘Thus says the Lord GOD:

“ You were the seal of perfection,
Full of wisdom and perfect in beauty

Isaiah 14:13-14 - For you have said in your heart:

‘ I will ascend into heaven,
I will exalt my throne above the stars of God;
I will also sit on the mount of the congregation
On the farthest sides of the north;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds,
I will be like the Most High.’

Revelation 12 – Satan thrown down from heaven.

James 4:7 says, we are to resist the devil (the power of darkness) and submit to God.

“Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.”

1 Pet 5:9 9 “Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world".

How do we resist?

Speak verbally !!

Mark 16:17
– We have the authority in Jesus name!

Amen!
