From Glory Company's East Anglia Away weekend, hosted by Heartbeat, Liberty Church, and Wellspring Church in Poringland and Bungay. After a rollicking joyful time of worship, we picked up on the foundation laid the night before and taught on engaging faith and engaging with angels.
The angelic realm is all around us. They are God's messengers, created beings, sent to do His bidding. The bible names only a few, yet it also often speaks of hosts of angels throughout the old and new testament, of different types of angels, of different purposes for them.
Yet we, the church, are not engaging with the angelic host that is clearly (in scripture) all around us! Why not? If they are here to do God's bidding on earth, to war in the heavenly places on our behalf, why are we not engaging with them more?
We spent an evening laying a foundation of using faith to begin to engage with the angels all around us, to begin to see them with our faith eyes, to begin to speak with them.
So long as we only worship the One True God, why shouldn't we be engaging with the creatures He created to help us?
We want to thank, honour, and give credit to Ian Clayton, Patricia King and Bill Johnson for their wonderful teachings that have encouraged and influenced us, and from whom we have borrowed and incorporated some of their exercises into our own beliefs, teachings and practical exercises.
