[11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Yes yes, especially on the issue of leaving feathers, did angels leave feathers when they visited? [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Alright so here’s what I want us to understand in the Bible , God gave different experiences to different Men and Women of God according to their calling , Faith and assignments [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: In the Bible we had a man called Daniel who had an encounter with God , and in his encounters Lions would be in Harmony with him. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: But a man called Samson would see the same lions and he would tore their mouths apart [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: These are two different men and women of God who are having different experiences with the same God [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: If these two people meet Daniel and Samson both of them will tell you a different experience that no Lions are not supposed to be touched yet Samson is telling you No God would manifest on me but I will tear the Lions apart [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: If these two don’t understand that GOD is too big to give a similar encounter they would fight and not understand God can manifest in different ways [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Now about that , whenever encounters happen, we ask are they inline with the Word of God not did this happen in the Bible? [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Because the same Bible also says they’re many miracle Jesus did that were not recorded in the Bible which means they’re miracles we can do or that can happen which you won’t find in the Bible but you ask is this inline with the Word of God [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: For example Let’s say you pray for someone who has an addiction for Alcohol, masturbation, is this in the Bible no but is it inline with the Word of God. Yes? [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: The so someone is asking do angels leave feathers okay let me give you an encounter of Jacob and an Angel. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Genesis 32:24-26 KJV - 24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day. 25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was out of joint, as he wrestled with him. 26 And he said, Let me go, for the day breaketh. And he said, I will not let thee go, except thou bless me. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Should Jacob say that when you meet an angel you’re supposed to be dislocated to prove that you met an angel? [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: The dislocation is evidence of what happened between him and the angel of God, but now understand what I want you to understand [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: This portion of scripture is when Jacob wrestled with an Angel. I think we all know this story and when Jacob wrestled with the angel the Bible says that it dislocated his joint and left him there [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Moses had a different experience. An Angel appeared like a fire , and to him his experience is a fire and burning bush. And that’s an Angel [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: It’s his own experience with an angel of God that left him dislocated and according to the Bible this Angel didn’t have wings. I want you to take note of this. Not all angels have wings some don’t that’s why we have seraphims , cherubims with wings some don’t [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: His experience is different from Moses let me show you [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Exodus 3:2 KJV And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush: and he looked, and, behold, the bush burned with fire, and the bush was not consumed. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: This is Gideon , Gideon met an Angel , and angels always leave evidence [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: If you notice in every encounter there’s always something they do to leave evidence which is different from everyone [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Judges 6:21 KJV Then the angel of the Lord put forth the end of the staff that was in his hand, and touched the flesh and the unleavened cakes; and there rose up fire out of the rock, and consumed the flesh and the unleavened cakes. Then the angel of the Lord departed out of his sight. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Our God is big and can be experienced in different ways, hence I said is it inline with the Bible that’s what we check and according to the Bible they’re different experiences with different angels when I was praying I said God visit your people , and as evidence we want to see feathers of angels. And this is our experience to those who believe that God can manifest this way. How God manifests to me might be different from you just like Jacob, Manoah and Gideon but it’s the same God [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: The story of Manoah and his wife about Samson the Angel appeared to the wife at first but the husband didn’t believe and said I want to know if you’re really an Angel of the Lord and he made a kid or goat ready and the Angel burnt it and as the smoke was rising the Angel also went up in that foamy [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: So what am I trying to say by explaining all these different experiences in support of the first brother who said this [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Personally l think God appears to you the way you understand him.. There is no proposed way in which the things of God happen, God can decide in which ever way he wants... Most people have the belief that angels have wings and can fly... To Moses God appeared as a burning bush, to the Isralites it was a cloud and fire, to Mary it was an angel, to some of us when we see the Prophet in our dream, we take it as a visitation from... But imagine if you wake up and see fire burning in your room and nothing is burning ๐๐it's better if it's just feathers otherwise God's visitations are in different undefined ways... Your belief and faith determine your encounter [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: Angels are of different caliber I’ll come with that teaching next week so you can understand. They’re angels with wings called Seraphims and Cherubims. If you study in the book of Ezekiel and Isaiah these prophets explain kinds of angels. And to us this season I asked a grace from God where angels manifest in your rooms and the goal is not just for them to manifest but they’re carrying messages , instructions and these are to also increase your faith to know you’re protected you might not see an Angel physically but they’re always with you. The feathers are what I asked from God to appear as proof. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: MEETING AND INTERACTING WITH ANGELS IS OUR INHERITANCE. Gen 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. Have you ever noticed that the bible is not shy when it comes to the ministry of God's angels . It is us who have stoped teaching and believing in the ministry of angels. Some think those who believe in the day to day ministry of angels are fanatical and extremist. Well l would say there is need for balance ,but l do not say we through away the benefit of this part of our heritage. There is great benefit saints to this ministry of angels . God can not administrate his goodness towards us with out it. We need to be aware that they minister among us each day,some even as angels, some as the force which turns us away from harm into the right parth. Some minister in our dreams as the people we interact with in dreams. If the church is to fully walk in victory we will need to revisit out understanding of these ministers and live recognizing their presence. I have been saved many times by strangers and realized later l was in the presence of angels. Pray this prayer today . Dear father l want to thank you for the ministry of your holy angels today in my life. I acknowledge them and allow them to minister as you instruct them in my life. Those that have messages for me allow my eyes and ears to hear [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: So go through these scriptures you’ll understand angels manifest for protection, interpretation, exhortation, comfort and strengthening, anyone who has an encounter there’s an area an Angel has come to address. The feather you saw is just evidence for some of you who don’t believe that’s all. The issue is not the feather it’s the faith that comes knowing an Angel visited you but for what? Then you look at all those scriptures. But like I said not all angels have wings some look like human beings I’ll teach on this some other day. [11/21, 12:44] N.CHIGIYA: What are angels ? They are ministering spirits created by God to minister to the hears of salvation an minister to the the Almighty to accomplish his agenda . ๐Hebrews 1:14 (KJV) But are they not all ministering spirits sent forth .....

His angels will keep and gard you . ๐Exo 23:20 Behold, I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way, and to bring thee into the place which I have prepared. ๐They will give devine instruction to those who believe on what to do in seasons of our lives. ๐Acts 10:1-7 ๐ Acts 8:26 Angels of Lord spake, unto philip, saying , Arise, and go towards the south unto the way that goeth down from Jerusalem unto Gaza, which is desert. ๐ They minister to us with instructions in times of destress. ๐Genesis 16:8 And he said , Hagar, Sarai's maid, whence camest thou go ? And she said , l flee from the face of the thy mistress Sarai. And the angel of the Lord said unto her, Return to thy mistress, and submit thyself under her . ๐ They Reveal to us devine mysteries, they interpret visions and dreams, explain season , events and more as given by the Lord. ๐Daniel 10:11-12 And he said unto me, O Daniel, and man greatly beloved , understand the words that l speak unto thee, and stand upright : for unto thee am l now sent. And when he had spoken this word unto me, l stand stood trembling. Then he said unto me, Fear not Daniel :for from the first day that thou didst set thine heart to understand , and to chasten thyself before thy God , thy words were heard, and l am come for thy words. ๐Angels will accompany us to prosper on God assignments ๐Genesis 24:40(KJV) And he said unto me, The Lord , before angel with thee, and prosper thy way ; and thou shalt take a wife for my son of my kindred and of my father's house : ๐The angels will lead us into possessing our promises . ๐ Behold , I send an Angel before thee, to keep thee in the way , and to bring thee into the place which l have prepared. ๐ Angels give devine strength, some missions will need you to have supernatural strength. ๐ 1 Kings 19:6-7 And he looked , and behold, there was a cake baked on the coals, and a cruse of water at his head . And he did eat and drink , and laid him down again.
