Introduction - Embracing Angelic Ministry

Dancing With Angels School of the Supernatural Level II Advanced Course

I want to thank you for your heart to learn more about Christ’s Kingdom. Thank you for attending the Dancing With Angels School of the Supernatural Level II.

Of course we are here to learn about the hidden mysteries of the Kingdom of God. This school is based upon the trilogy of books; The Reality of Angelic Ministry Today, published by Destiny Image America. Much of what we will study in the Holy Scriptures in this school will help us to understand more about angelic ministry, and how it affects our lives. You can work with God’s angels. Understanding this can be life changing. However, we need to realize that angelic ministry is only one arrow in the quiver of spiritual weapons that God has placed at our disposal.

We need to place our hope and faith squarely upon Jesus Christ. Jesus must be the absolute cornerstone of our faith in God. We need to major on the Atonement, and Christ’s immaculate work on the tree of Calvary. However it is important in the day and hour in which we live that people begin to understand that angelic ministry can play a very important role in our lives, prosperity, livelihood, and wellbeing.

I have made this point briefly here, but let me assure that we will look at this important principle in much greater detail in the lessons to come. We must focus and worship Jesus alone. However, by understanding more mysteries about Gods angels we can begin to ‘loose’ or activate God’s angels to ‘work for’ us. Understanding how to work with God’s angels can transform our lives.

I discovered this dynamic of Christ’s Kingdom when Jesus Himself revealed it to me. I began to embrace angelic ministry as a new believer. Over the past decade the Lord has methodically shown me keys, or methods that have enabled me to work with God’s angels. I want to share these with you in this school. Working with God’s angels is really quite easy! These spiritual and scriptural principles that the Lord has taught me are universal. In other words, they apply to any believer in Christ. We can all ‘co-labor’ with God’s angels to bring the Lord’s plans and purposes to pass upon the earth and in our lives.

In the two books that I have written I have penned about 124,000 words. Trust me when It was impossible for me to outline clearly every fact and aspect of the ministry of angels in God’s kingdom in 124,000 words. That is why I believe the Lord is leading us to teach these schools. To be honest with you I would rather preach on the Atonement and the Cross. I would rather bring a message of total salvation and healing. However, I also want to be obedient to the Lord and teach these messages about His angelic host. I believe that these are timely and important messages at this hour.

Quickly, let me say this to help prepare your hearts.

We do not always have to see God’s angels to work with them. If seeing angels is a desire of your heart the Lord will give that to you. However, you can work with God’s angels in many ways, but it is not always necessary to see them to co-labor with God’s angels. It is important that you understand this.

Let me begin to lay a foundation by sharing two very basic and very important keys to this school and activating your ability to work or co-labor with Christ’s angels.

Key # 1- We need to have faith or believe.

First of all the Lord has told each of us in His word this fact; For as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. (Proverbs 23:7).

And we see this kingdom principle again in Matthew 12:37 "For by your words you will be justified, and by your words you will be condemned."

To put it another way, we will have what we say. As a new believer I began to thank God for His angels that were working on my behalf or as Hebrews 1: 14 says the angels that were ministering for me.

Mark 16: 17 also says; "These signs will follow those who believe.

So we need to purpose in our hearts to believe, or to at least have an open mind as we go through this school. You will need to be open to what the Holy Spirit is doing within your heart and spirit man.

I have found that some of the most harden people to believe in our right or ability to work with God’s angels are those who are the most mature in the Lord. (No offence meant here). It is often the mature believer that has a very strong foundation in God’s word.

However, they do not always really believe God’s Word, rather they believe what they have been taught about God’s word, or they believe what they think that God’s Word says. Let me say that again: They often believe what they think God’s word says. Sometimes we are wrong in our interpretation of God’s Word. This leads to ungodly mindsets. Scripture calls this kind of mindset a stronghold. So we need to be open to having the Holy Spirit transform our mind into the very mind of Christ. What does God’s Word really say about His angelic host? Lord I pray that you will reveal these things to us in these lessons!

So if you don’t believe that you can work with God’s angels that will greatly diminish your ability to activate of loose angels because sign follow those who believe. If you don’t believe you will l have a difficult time. Some people may believe in angels, but they may not have the revelation of the fullness of the availability of angelic ministry in their lives. So we may miss it in this way.

As we go through this school I want for you to focus on two specific keys to activating angelic ministry in your life. You have angels who are assigned by God to you. They are with you on a constant basis. They are listening to what you are saying. Some well-meaning Christians have the mindset that it is God in heaven who sends angels out to work. Of course that is true.

However in reality we are the ones who are responsible for releasing or losing angelic ministry the majority of the time in our lives and in others’ lives. Some of us are waiting around for God to send His angels to help us, and the Lord is up in heaven saying; “You give them something to eat”. You do it, you send the angels to correct this situation, I already gave you the authority to do it, so don’t ask me! You do it!”

Key # 2- We loose or activate God’s angels with our words

The reason for this is that your angels are listening to what you are saying. Remember that Jesus taught us this important principle in Matthew 16:19; “I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."

You could call this the principle of ‘binding and loosing’. You can loose the things that in heaven. This includes angels. On the other hand you can also bind the angels of heaven. How, With your words. Your angels are listening to what you speak with your mouth.

When you speak God’s words and decree Gods words over your life that looses God’s angels to go and minister for you in that way. For example when you say that you shall prosper and be in health, you loose your angelic co-laborers to begin to orchestrate prosperity and health to manifest in your life.

Finally Psalm 103:20, 21 is crucial: Bless the LORD, you His angels, Who excel in strength, who do His word, Heeding the voice of His word.21 Bless the LORD, all you His hosts, You ministers of His, who do His pleasure.

When we speak or decree God’s eternal work over our lives and circumstances we are losing angels to minister for us in our circumstances. It is just that simple. We will look at this in great detail as we progress through the school.

God’s angels are listing to the words you speak and you will either bind them or loose them with what you say. We should also remember that angels do not think like you. We will look at this in more detail later in the school.

Many people bind their angels from working on their behalf. Our goal is to learn that we can co-labor with God’s angels and loose them to work on our behalf to accomplish God’s purposes for each of us.

We play an important role in loosing or activating God’s angels to release protection, provision, answered prayers, revelatory knowledge from God’s throne, healing and miracles, deliverance, signs and wonders, salvation, and to truly manifest Christ’s Kingdom upon earth and in our sphere of influence.

Again pay attention to these two basic keys as we study Gods anointed word in the Dancing With Angels School of the Supernatural. Again two basic keys are:

#1 Faith or believing --- #2 Word Confessions

So I want you to prepare your hearts. Pray over the course of this school and ask the Lord to help you to really get the true revelation from the scriptures that we will study. Ask the Lord for His help and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Amen!

Prayer of Preparation-Pray this prayer out loud:

“Father, in the might name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, I ask you today to send the Holy Spirit to guide me and to teach me about your kingdom. Lord I am asking You for understanding and wisdom about You and your kingdom. I am asking for Your good gifts, and Lord, I am asking that you would begin to reveal the ‘hidden mysteries’ of your kingdom to me, reveal them to my spirit.”

“Lord, I ask that you open my eyes to see, and open my mind to comprehend what your Word really says and reveals to me in this hour. Lord, I ask that you would open the eyes of my understanding and the eyes of my spirit man or heart. Lord, I cover myself in the blood of Jesus, and I ask for Your forgiveness. Lord, forgive me for any area in my spirit, mind, or heart that been unacceptable in your sight. Lord forgive my unbelief, and help me to believe and to understand the reality of what Your Word truly says, and not what I think that it is supposed to say.”

“Lord, I thank you that the kingdom of heaven is already within me. Lord, I ask you to help me to understand that your kingdom is a supernatural place, and that I am already a citizen of light. I am your child, and I ask you, Father, that you would give me your good gifts today. Lord, I as for wisdom and understanding, and I thank you for the revelation that you are going to release to me about your kingdom and the angels that are within Your created realm. In Jesus name I pray, Amen.”

Final Reflections – You Are Enthroned With Christ


Ephesians 2:6; (God) has raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Insert mine).

God has given every person the ability and opportunity to grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. What a glorious thing the Lord has done! God has sent His only begotten Son to humanity to restore the communion and fellowship that is our inheritance. The Messiah has reinstated the open heavens over us, and given us the opportunity to ascend through those open heavens and to enter into His very presence. Jesus has reestablished humanities inheritance, communion with God Almighty. We can walk in fellowship with God just as Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden because Jesus has opened the heavens over mankind once and for all.

Once we get the revelation that it is possible for us to overcome and to 'lay aside every weight, and the sin' that tethers or binds us to the carnal or temporal realm we can begin to enter into a wonderful communion and fellowship with God. We can access the open heavens and sit with Christ in heavenly places. Hebrews 12:1,2 tells us this; Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, (through the Atonement) who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is enthroned down at the right hand of the throne of God. This passage gives us another wonderful example of Christ's ministry for us to follow, or emulate and it also gives us the key that will empower us to pursue or go after Him. Christ overcame sin and empowered us to rise into the heavenly places with Him.

We Are Seated With Christ

The scriptures give us a wonderful promise in Ephesians 2:6; (God) has raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. (Insert mine). We are seated with Christ. This was already established and finished by Christ's finished work of Atonement on the Cross. Notice that this scripture is in the past tense. We are already seated with Christ in heavenly places. It does not say that we are going to be seated with Christ after we complete enough work, or become 'worthy' enough to enter God's presence, or die. No, Because of Christ's shed blood you and I are now seated with Christ. It has already happened. It is a done deal!

Our place and spiritual inheritance is one of ruling and reigning with Christ in the heavenly places. We are seated in a position of power, authority, and honor. We are triumphant (see 2Cornthians 2:14)! Because we believe that Christ is the Messiah through simple faith in His Atoning work this is our inheritance now, today. You can have it. When Jesus overcame death and was seated by the right hand of the Father in triumph over the devil we were also seated in this heavenly place of power and Kingly authority. We are royal priests after the order of Melchizedek.

The Weymouth translation of Ephesians 2:6 tells us that God: Raised us with Him from the dead, and enthroned us with Him in the heavenly realms as being in Christ Jesus. The Father has enthroned us in the heavenly places with Christ Jesus! It is finished. We are victorious and triumphant in Christ as we begin to appropriate the revelation that we are seated with Christ or enthroned with Christ in the heavenly places. We are seated as joint heirs or joint Kings with Christ. We are His ambassadors with His authority, power and triumph. We are able to rule and reign in this life!

We have the privilege and God granted right to benefit from, enjoy, and luxuriate our joint seating with Christ in heavenly places. This is a position and place of victory and the place of God's over comers! When we sit down with Christ in the heavenly places we are seated in victory over all powers and

principalities of this world. Our minds will be stayed upon the Messiah and we will be given Gods perfect double peace (see Isaiah 26:3). Not only that but we will walk in power over our foes.

You can have this position in Christ. It has already happened because Jesus achieved this victory for us to make us joint heirs with Christ in the heavenly realms or places. When we begin to appropriate and walk in this revelation of our position in Christ it will transform our lives! We will be able to walk in the commanded blessing and anointing of Ephesians 2: 7; in order that, by His goodness to us in Christ Jesus, He might display in the Ages to come the transcendent riches of His grace. We will be authorized to display or manifest Christ's Kingdom. We will be empowered to do the greater works that Jesus has called us to work and recreate Christ for the ages to come. (See John 14:12). We will evolve and metamorphosis into the victorious and triumphant people that God has preordained for us to become.

Revelation For God's Over Comers

The key is the revelation of the Messiahs' Atonement that enables us to overcome the weight of sin that tethers us to the carnal or temporal realm. This supernatural knowledge or understanding comes to us easily once we have managed to open the heavens over our lives with the help and guidance of the Holy Spirit. Once Christ's finished work becomes real or alive in our spirit man we can follow Him to the same place that He ascended to, the very presence or throne room of God. In that place we will find the power to triumph and be transformed into over comers (see Revelation 3:21, 22).

However, many of us are just like Cleopas (see Luke 24:18-33). We are carnal minded and spiritual babes in our revelatory knowledge of Christ's Atonement and His kingdom. Even though we have the revealed Word of God, and Christ has actually visited, and continues to visit the earth to reveal to us this Good News many people have no Idea that we can walk in harmony with God.

Few of us understand the ramifications and outworking of the Atonement that the Messiah purchased for us on the cross. But the Lord wants us to have this revelation, and we are living in the day when He will begin to make this knowledge and understanding of the Messiah's Atonement readily available to His creation, you and me. As the heavens open over our lives we too will come to the place where we will say; "Our heart burns within us while He talked with, and while He opened the Scriptures to us?" Because the Lord will begin to reveal and release supernatural revelation to His people as the heavens are opening in this hour, and many will go boldly through the open heavens to join Christ in heavenly places, enthroned at the right hand of the Father.

The Lord has restored His good treasure the open heavens to His creation mankind. We are living in the day that the fulfillment of the prophetic promise given to us by God in Deuteronomy 28:12 has come to pass. "The LORD will open to you His good treasure, the heavens." The heavens have been opened by God Himself. We can pass through the heavens like Jesus (see Acts1:9, 10, and Hebrews 4:14). We are called to be royal priests after the order of Melchizedek. We can come boldly before God's throne of grace and power. We can enter into the open heavens and obtain supernatural revelation that we can implement upon the earth to manifest Messiah's Kingdom according to Christ's model of Luke 11:2, and Matthew 6:10.

As we learn to 'rend' the heavens over our lives we will begin to understand our true calling. The Holy Spirit will begin to expand our 'spheres of influence' and anointing to proclaim Jesus as the Messiah. Once the heavens are open over us we will begin to garner the wisdom and revelation of God. We will be born from above and recognize and understand heavenly things. [(See John 3:3, 3:16) the literal translation of this familiar phrase 'born again' is literally 'to be born from above']. The Lord will open the heavens over our lives through the outworking of the Holy Spirit as the Spirit reveals, uncovers, or unveils the mysteries of Christ's Kingdom that indwells within to us. Then we will be transformed and actually 'born from above'. We will grow in the power and anointing of the Holy Spirit and into the very image of Jesus. We will begin to recognize and discern heavenly things and see into the spiritual realm on a regular basis. We will develop a heavenly perspective.

There will be times when God will open our understanding and the eyes of our hearts allowing us to see and recognize His angelic hosts. God's angels are all around us at this moment. The angels of God are our co-labors who have the testimony of Jesus and they are ready to work with us. There is no need to 'hyper spiritualize' angelic ministry, angelic sightings, or angelic visitations. These should all be a normal part of walking with the Messiah once the heavens are open over our lives.

There are many ways that you can work with God's angels. This should just be a normal part of your daily life as a brother or sister of Jesus or "in" Jesus. Prayer is perhaps the most important and practical way to co-labor with God's angels. I believe that every believer in Messiah has at least one angel that has been assigned to their life and ministry. The more obedient and active we become to step out and share our faith in Christ, or 'go with the gospel', the more God will accelerate the ministry of His angels within our lives and spheres of influence. As you proclaim God’s truth and His written Word over your life and your family you will be empowering angels to work on your behalf. God’s angels always perform His word. (Psalm 103:20). As we decree God’s word we activate or ‘loose’ angels to co-labor with us and to work on our behalf.

God's people have the privilege and authority to work with God's angels in many ways. God can release or activate His angels to bring us revelation and direction. God's angels can bring us messages of release prophesy and prophetic ministry in our midst. The Lord will begin to increase the numbers of people who will consciously work with His angels in releasing the gifts of healings and miracles in these last days as well as many other ways. God can release angels at any time or place that the anointing of the Holy Spirit is hovering and in manifestation.

Working with angels will become very common for people as they learn to work in harmony with the Holy Spirit. We can accomplish this through the marvelous unction of the Holy Spirit. The Lord is giving His people a supernatural understanding of the anointing or unction of the Holy Spirit. God is helping them learn how to work in concert or symphony with His Spirit and His kingdom to glorify Christ as the Messiah.

As we truly begin to understand the anointing and function of the unction of the Holy Spirit we will begin to implement Jesus' model of prayer upon the earth. We will pray like Christ and at times the Lord will give folks the authority to 'loose' His angels to accomplish specific assignments or missions of mercy for His glory and honor. (See Matthew 16:19, 18:18). Working with angels in this fashion will not always be a 'super spiritual' affair. Rather at times it will be quite common place and anyone will be able to step into this aspect of the Lord's kingdom and co-labor with the God's angels. This God ordained ability or gift will come as we grow and begin to understanding how the precious Holy Spirit works in symphony with angelic ministry and open heavens to impact the earth for Christ's purposes as it is in heaven. This dynamic or aspect of Christ's Kingdom is based upon and activated by the restoration of the gift of the discerning of spirits.

Ordinary people will begin to understand and work in harmony with the Holy Spirit. They will have God ordained revelation of the role of the Holy Spirit in the expanding their sphere of influence. The key to growing and maturing in this aspect of Christ's Kingdom is repentance and obedience to the Lords callings and wooing.

What a time to be alive! You are living at the most exciting moment in history. Christ will return soon. The Lord in His wisdom and grace is going to use regular folks to implement the greatest revivals and outpourings of His Spirit that have ever touched the earth in the coming days. God is inviting you to take part in releasing these revivals, and He has equipped you to do it. We can rend the heavens over our lives through the finished work of Calvary. We can ascend through the open heavens just like our Messiah, Jesus. We can begin to manifest God's glory and kingdom in every place that we set our foot.

We have an open invitation to set our feet into the heavenly realms and have communion with Christ. We can ascend into heaven today and come boldly before our Father. The promise of Hebrews 4:16: Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of

need, is much more than flowery alliteration. This verse is a spiritual truth! We can ascend into the heavens today! What will it look like in your life when we begin to ascend into and through the open heavens and to enter into the heavenly places? The hour of Hebrews 4:16 is at hand!

In the final book of the trilogy: The Reality of Angelic Ministry Today - Book Three - Dancing With Angels 3: Angels In The Realms Of Heaven, I will share dozens of other visions and heavenly experiences with Christ and His angels that transpired in heavenly places. As a result I can relate to the reader’s detailed portraits and descriptions of the places that I walked through in heaven, or the heavenly realms. This will help you to understand your personal role as a royal priest after the order of Melchizedek. These kinds of open heaven or heavenly experiences do not have to be hyper spiritual events. Rather these kinds of supernatural experiences should be normal, and it should be a common place event for you to access or ascend through the open heavens and into the very presence of God.

These kinds of angelic experiences transpire in the spiritual realm, but that does not invalidate their importance or impact upon your life. The testimonies will inspire and encourage the reader. In fact, several people who have read excerpts from the third book were moved to tears of hope and joy. Heaven is a real place and the third book of the trilogy, The Reality Of Angelic Ministry Today, describes heaven's attributes, and appearance. I will describe these places in great detail and hopefully give the reader glimpses into the realms of heaven. Along this journey we will also see how angels move about, appear, and seem to 'work' the heavenly realms. This will help you to understand more facets and dynamics of how to co-labor with God's angels. May we all greet one another in that place one day? Heaven is real! And Christ has already prepared a place for you to dwell with Him in heaven. Your heavenly home awaits you.

In John 14:1-6 Jesus told us that: "I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also." The Lord is referring to a season of time after His resurrection. That is the hour that we live in now. It is only through the finished work of Christ and the atonement of Calvary can we hope to access heaven. It is only through the shed blood of Christ that covers mankind's sins, can we ascend into the heavenly places through Gods open heavens. Jesus said: "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." Jesus Christ is the open heaven. The Lord has sent the Holy Spirit to guide us and to lead us into His very presence and into the heavenly places.

This is a very important key to accessing these kinds of heavenly experiences and angelic visitations. We must come to the Father and to the Father's house or heavenly places through Christ. A person can access the realms of heaven while they live upon the earth or in this temporal realm though 'spiritual experiences'. Anyone can do this. Hopefully you will also access heaven when you die and live in heaven as an eternal spirit. However, as we learned you can access the realms of heaven as a royal priest after the order of Melchizedek. I want to encourage you that the testimonies in the subsequent book will bring a smile to your face and joy into your heart as you read them. We hope that you enjoy them and that you find these diminutive portraits of the heart of Jesus and of heaven beneficial and entertaining to you today. Ephesians 2:4-8 show us this aspect of the possibilities of our lives in Christ: God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God.

May the Lord bless on your spiritual journey into the supernatural and into the realms of heaven!

Salvation

Perhaps you would like to be born again and receive Jesus as your Lord and Savior now. Just pray this prayer out loud:

‘Father God, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Savior or Messiah. I believe that Jesus is the only begotten Son of God and that He died upon the cross to make payment for my sins. I believe that Jesus was buried in an unused grave, but that after three days He rose again to conquer death and sin. Lord, because I was born a human being I was born a sinner. Lord I ask you to forgive my sins now in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth. God cover my sins with the blood of Jesus forgive me now. Amen.’
