I worked as a waiter throughout my entire time studying become a pastor.
And it paid the bills.
I did very well, but I also met some pretty interesting people.
Almost every Saturday morning there was a lady we called "the angel lady"
that would come into my restaurant right when we first opened.
And she would tell people their future, supposedly, by talking to the angels.
She was a hack.
She's a con artist.
She was just trying to get money out of people.
Angels don't know the future.
They don't.
They only know as much as what God allows them to know.
They are not omniscient.
They don't know all things like God does.
But there's a lot of misunderstanding when it comes to angels.
This week we're going to talk on understanding angels.
That lady encouraged those people who spoke with her
to pray to the angels,
to talk to them,
and ask the angels to do their work, and their bidding.
But yet, God tells us in 1 Timothy chapter 2,
That our prayers only go to and through Jesus.
We should not pray to anyone other than the triune God.
But yet this lady was telling these people to pray to the angels.
The angels do God's work, not ours.
Imagine a military convoy is going past your house for some reason
and you stop the convoy and say, "Woah, woah! Can you come into my house?
My toilet is stopped up, the dishes are piled up,
the laundry is there. I need your help."
They're probably going to run you over because you're not the commanding officer.
But if the commanding officer of that military convoy looked at his watch
and said, "No, we've got time. All right. Hop to."
All those soldiers instantly would pour into your house
because the commanding officer
commanded them.
There's guardian angels, which we're going to talk about tomorrow,
but they're commanded, not by us,
they're commanded by God.
And so pray,
not to the angels.
but pray through Jesus.
Pray with faith to God, asking him to send his angels to protect us
and to watch out over us.
