Commanding The Angels With Your Prayers and Your Words
These seven archangels are often held in high esteem by Christians and are often
called upon for guidance and intercession. Is that scriptural? Do our prayers influence
angels? While there is no definitive list of archangels, these seven are often referenced
in Christian tradition. An important question to ask is “Can we command angels….”
The answer is a “qualified” yes!
There are several verses in the Bible that suggest that men can command angels. One
example is found in Psalm 91:11-12, which says, “For he will command his angels
concerning you to guard you in all your ways; they will lift you up in their hands so
that you will not strike your foot against a stone.” This verse suggests that God
commands angels on behalf of his people, but it also implies that man has a role to
play in commanding angels.
Another example is found in Matthew 18:10, where Jesus says, “See that you do not
despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the
face of my Father in heaven.” This verse seems to suggest that every person has an
angel assigned to them and that those angels are paying close attention to what is
happening in their lives.
Additionally, in Hebrews 1:14, it says, “Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to
serve those who will inherit salvation?” This verse seems to indicate that angels are
here to serve and minister to those who are believers in Jesus Christ.
I have seven bronze figures on my mantel representing the seven archangels of the
Western church. Seeing them throughout the day and every morning reminds me that
angels exist and are working on my behalf. Here is a prayer to activate angels:
