“If you have acknowledged Jesus Christ as your Lord and have surrendered your life to him, then you can be sure that he will give his angels charge over you.”

Exodus 23:20
“Behold, I send an Angel before you to keep you in the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.”

Scripture makes it clear that the angels are God’s ministering spirits, given charge to minister to you and me who will inherit salvation. That is, God created these amazing beings to serve us according to God’s purposes. Angles are given orders concerning us to guard us and physically intervene in our circumstances to ensure our safety and the execution of God’s perfect will.

Some years back my wife Karen, my daughter Kerryn and I were touring the Greek Isles. We hired a small car to explore Naxos. It was a lovely day. As we circumnavigated the small island, we ended up on a very narrow two-way road with a rock face to the left of the road and a long drop to the right. Coming round a bend we were confronted by a large agricultural tractor on our side of the road, headed directly at us at 40 miles per hour. The tractor was overtaking a large truck, which was on the opposite side of the road. Here I was, with my wife and daughter in the car, facing a large vehicle bearing down towards us. I could not pass the truck to the left because of the rock face and if I swerved right to avoid the tractor in front of me, we would surely fall off the drop to the right. I swerved right. There was no room for our car to fit the narrow shoulder of the road. A second later I swerved back again onto the road. We passed the oncoming tractor safely. We should have fallen down that precipice. Undoubtedly the two right wheels of our car passed off the edge of the road. Yet, we were safe. Angels? Probably. He shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

If you have acknowledged Jesus Christ as your Lord and have surrendered your life to him, then you can be sure that he will give his angels charge over you. They are ministering spirits sent to minister to those who will inherit salvation. They will keep you in your way and bring you safely into the place which the Lord has prepared for you.

God-tracking is confidence in his angelic guard.

“Dear Lord, give your angels charge over me.”

“Dear Lord, I praise and thank you for your ministering spirits, the angels. I praise you that you have given them charge over me and my loved ones to guard us on our daily walk. I do not worship or pray to your angels but I do acknowledge their involvement in my life. Dear Lord, give your angels charge over me. Amen.”

“Smith Wigglesworth understood his position in Christ. He knew who was on his side (on his inside) and that if God was for him, none could be against him.”

1 John 4:4
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

Smith Wigglesworth was a great man of God who knew who he was in Christ. There’s a story told of
how, one night, he was awakened from sleep by a commotion in his bedroom. Half sitting up, he peered into the darkness only to be confronted by an awesome sight of a manifest evil spirit – a demon – sitting at the bottom of his bed. Satan knew this man. He knew he was being used mightily by God in signs and wonders, turning thousands of people to God, seeking his forgiveness and purposes in their lives.  Satan was intent on de-railing Smith through fear and intimidation. The story goes on to state that Smith Wigglesworth took one look at this manifest evil demon and said, “Oh, it’s only you,” and turned over going back to sleep! 

Wigglesworth said many great things in his lifetime but among the best quotations recorded by the man is this: “I’m a thousand times bigger on the inside than I am on the outside.”  He knew the meaning of the words, “You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world.” Smith Wigglesworth understood his position in Christ. He knew who was on his side (or on his inside) and that if God was for him, none could be against him.

Are you facing demons right now; trials and difficulties that fill you with fear?  Are you feeling small and insignificant against the mountains you face tomorrow? If that’s you then be encouraged to turn to the Creator and Author of your life – your Lord and God –  and, through Jesus Christ, claim that you too are a thousand times bigger on the inside than you are on the outside!

God-tracking is knowing who you are in Christ.

“Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I take a stand against these attacks of Satan and confess that I am bigger on the inside than I am on the outside.”

“Dear God, I’ll admit that I am intimidated by the trials I face today. It seems like every step I take I’m confronted by opposition. Forgive me, O Lord, for not taking a stand against the enemy of my soul. I have accepted Jesus as my Lord and Saviour and believe that he dwells in my heart by the Holy Spirit. Therefore, in the name of Jesus, I take a stand against these attacks of Satan and confess that I am bigger on the inside than I am on the outside. Amen.”

“Seek him to fill you with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills to fulfil your calling.”

Exodus 31:3 (NIV)
 and I have filled him with the Spirit of God, with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills

There is a clear distinction between talent and anointing. I have witnessed many talented singers and musicians lead worship with skilful musical prowess but they lacked the deeper sense of the presence of God. And, undoubtedly, these worship sessions are wonderful. However, I have come to differentiate between talented musicianship and anointed musicianship.

The Israelites who left Egypt were primarily masons and brickmakers. I doubt there were any experienced artisans or craftsmen in their number. However, when God instructed Moses to construct the most elaborate and ornate tabernacle, skilled craftsmen were required. For instance, we read how, when God gave Moses the patterns for the high priest’s attire, he anointed the able-bodied with a spirit of skill. These men, indeed, must have had a natural talent to create these decorative garments but they lack the training or experience. Therefore, the Holy Spirit comes upon them and anoints them with a spirit of skill.

Perhaps you’re feeling inadequate in your work for the Lord today. Perhaps you are a talented musician, singer or preacher yet you feel you lack the skill to minister. Let me encourage you to seek the fullness of the Holy Spirit. Seek his anointing for the skill to which he has called you. It’s not by your natural skills, power or might that you will achieve the purposes of God, it’s only by the Holy Spirit. Seek him to fill you with wisdom, with understanding, with knowledge and with all kinds of skills to fulfil your calling.

God-tracking is skilfully ministering by the Holy Spirit’s anointing.

“So, I call upon you now, O Holy Spirit, to fill me with the spirit of skill to touch lives.”

“Dear Lord, thank you so much for this auspicious opportunity you have given me to serve you. And thank you for the natural talent you have given me to function in this way. However, Lord, I feel I lack the training and experience to adequately fulfil this job, So, I call upon you now, O Holy Spirit, to fill me with the spirit of skill to touch lives for the sake of the Gospel. I surrender my raw talents to you and seek your skills anointing. Amen.

“When interference seems to come along in one way or another, the secret is to allow space for God’s will to be done. This technique involves two concepts: quietness and patience.”

Psalm 142:3
When my spirit was overwhelmed within me, then You knew my path. In the way in which I walk, they have secretly set a snare for me.

In this quest to follow God’s will, one thing I’ve discovered is that other people often seem to “get in the way” of what I perceive as being God’s purposes in my life. It seems that often, just when I’m getting somewhere, someone else comes along and sets a snare for me, usurping my position.  Ever been there? 

Scripture makes it plain, all the ways of a man seem pure in his own eyes, but the Lord checks the heart. It tells us that a man plans his way but the Lord directs his path and if we commit our works to the Lord, he will establish our steps. When interference seems to come along in one way or another, the secret is to allow space for God’s will to be done. This technique involves two concepts: quietness and patience. Quietness and trust are your strengths. So, rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.

Life’s burdens can sometimes be overwhelming but the Lord knows your path. No one knows your situation better than he does. When you don’t know what to do, you can turn to the Lord in prayer. He knows the best solution and he will show you the way. Bill Wilson said, “It’s not important what you achieve in life it’s more important what you set in motion.” I pray that you will learn the secret of waiting quietly and patiently for God to direct your path according to his purposes.

God-tracking is patiently resting in his path.

“Help me to wait quietly and patiently for your will to be done.”

“Father God, it’s happened again. Just when things seemed to be working out for me, someone got in the way and confused my path. Yet, O Lord, I know that my ways are not directed by any man. You are the director of my life. So, I turn to you now, in prayer, as I ask for your vindication and direction. Resolve this conflict and help me to wait quietly and patiently for your will to be done. Amen.”
