TOPIC: The Power Of Angelic Intervention (1) (Mountain Of Fire and Miracle Ministries, MFM Devotional 25 May 2024)
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR: Esther 10, Job 1, Job 2, John 13, John 14.
FIRE SCRIPTURE: Isaiah 37:21-36 (KJV)
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
22 This is the word which the Lord hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
26 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as corn blasted before it be grown up.
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
30 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of the Lord of hosts shall do this.
33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith the Lord.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
36 Then the angel of the Lord went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.

MFM Devotional For Today 2023 MESSAGE:
Many believers are yet to fully understand and take advantage of the ministry of angels. The Bible describes them as ministering spirits that are sent to minister to the heirs of salvation.All truly born again believers are heirs of salvation. They are citizens of heaven walking on planet earth and they have the privilege to enjoy the services of angels who are God’s powerful agents and representatives. Whenever God wants to do something great and wonderful in the affairs of man, He uses His angels. They are His special purpose troops. They orchestrate supernatural intervention and bring God’s will to manifestation. Everyone who God used mightily had encounters with His angels. Today, as a believer, you are expected to use and enjoy the ministry of God’s angels.
In the Bible, there are several examples of angelic intervention. Each case produced supernatural salvation, deliverances, healings, turnarounds, and so on.
In our Fire Scripture for today, Isaiah 37, Sennacherib, the king of Assyria had turned his initial threat of invading Judah to action. This was during the reign of King Hezekiah of Judah. Hezekiah was a devoted worshipper of Jehovah. He took the frightening letter of Sennacherib to the house of God and prayed for divine intervention. The war credentials of Sennacherib were intimidating. He boasted of how the armies of several nations he invaded fell before his army and that Judah and its army will fall like them and there is no one who could stop him from taking Judah as he did with others. After King Hezekiah’s prayer, God sent Prophet Isaiah to him with a message, assuring him of divine help and stating categorically that the king of Assyria and his troop would be defeated. How did God fulfil His prophecy? He sent a warrior angel to the camp of the Assyrian army at night. Before daybreak, the warrior angel had killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers, thus giving victory and jubilation to King Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Judah. That is an example of angelic intervention orchestrated by God. The result of the operation of that single angel was salvation, deliverance and miraculous turnaround. God used that incident to showcase His almightiness and to make the whole world know that He is God over Judah and all His children in all places. Beloved, I pray that the Lord of Hosts will send His warrior angels to fight for you today. You will sing victory songs, in Jesus’ Name.
