<font size="3">In this connection is is well to remember some
scriptural teaching about angels. The Scriptures teach that angels
have a part in the ministration of the Holy Spirit. Since <b>“the
spirits (or angels) of the prophets are subject to the prophets” (1
Corinthians 14:32), </b>angels have some part in prophetic utterance
when a prophet speaks under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. The
visions John saw on Patmos and the revelations he had there when he
was <b>“in the Spirit”</b> were given him through an angel
(Revelation 1:1, 10). Angels therefore have something to do with
being in a trance, seeing visions through the Holy Spirit, and
getting revelations through the Holy Spirit.</font></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Each true church has, perhaps, a special angel to
minister to that particular church (Revelation 1:20). Every saved
person has an angel to minister to him (Hebrews 1:14, Acts 12:15).
Every child has the ministry of angels, for the angels of children
have constant access to the throne of God in heaven. <b>(“Are they
- the angels - not all ministering spirits, sent forth to do service
for the sake of them that shall inherit salvation?” Hebrews 1:14.
</b>The disciples believed not that it was Peter knocking at the
gate. <b>“They said, It is his angel.” Acts 12:15. “See that
you despise not one of these little ones: for I say unto you, that in
heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father who is in
heaven.” Matthew 18:10. Adullam believes we have guardian angels,
as the Bible declares. When anointed by the Holy Spirit, so that
their spiritual eyes were opened Adullam children have always seen
angels about them.) </b>Angels always see us, <b>(“We are made a
spectacle unto the world both to angels and men.” 1 Corinthians
4:9) </b>though we seldom see angels. Angels differ in rank.</font></p>

</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">Both the Old and New Testament furnish sufficient proof
for the reality of angelic ministry in the Adullam Home. We have
already told of the visions of angels rescuing children whom demons
had bound with awful chains and were dragging to hell. Angels, then,
apparently have a part in saving the lost. Since angels led these
children to heaven and escorted them through the golden streets and
the glories of Paradise, it seems that angels have something to do
with the visions given Adullam. As most of the children who spoke in
other languages did so when they were dancing and singing with the
angels it may be that angels have something to do with speaking in
other languages, for it is is possible to speak with <b>“the
tongues of angels” (1 Corinthians 13:1) </b>at times of mighty
outpourings of the Spirit.</font></p>

<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">The children also had wonderful visions of multitudes of
angels flying in the heavens, and sometimes they saw them fly from
heaven to earth.</font></p>

<font size="3">At the times when the presence of the Holy Spirit was
especially manifest many of the children saw angels near by or in the
room. When they were hindered by demon power they saw angels come to
their release. On occasions of the most blessed sense of the presence
of the Lord in our midst and of the sweetest harmony and love in the
meeting, just above the room was a large angel, while the room was
entirely surrounded by smaller angels standing side by side each
touching the other to the right and left, so there was not a space in
the whole circle for the entrance of any demon. On these occasions,
when one or more of the children saw our angel garrison about us,
there were never any visions of demons in the room, as was very
frequently the case. One evening when our angel guard was about us in
such perfect rank children said they could hear demons outside the
circle of angels making an angry commotion because of their inability
to hinder the blessed fellowship in the Holy Spirit that was within
the angels' circle. Boys in Kotchiu had also seen this circle of
angels.</font></p>

<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left">
<font size="3">I shall never forget the blessed sense of the very
presence of God that was in those meetings in which the children saw
the angel just above our happy, Spirit-filled people. This angel
looking down upon us, smilingly turned from side to side to look at
the angels that encircled us and to see that there was not an
entrance for the powers of darkness. I wondered if the angel above us
was not the special angel of Adullam and if the smaller angels of
lesser rank around us were not our individual guardians. At any rate,
the children saw the angels. Their eyes were usually closed when they
saw them, but sometimes they saw them with wide open eyes. We could
believe, without question that we were indeed in the presence of
angels.</font></p>

<font size="3">And a larger guardian angel over each local church, each
city church and each nation - Does this not have Scriptural warranty?
In the Book of Daniel we see that Michael the Archangel has been set
as the guardian angel of the nation Israel. He was able to defeat
Satan's prince of the power of Persia (Iran) - and allow Gabriel to
finish the task God gave him in information for Daniel, concerning
Israel.</font></p>
