Partnering with the Angels

Dream received in April of 2018:

In my dream, I found myself prophesying: "The most important thing for the Church right now is to understand how to employ their angels... This has not been widely understood, but that is all changing, and God is now beginning to teach the broader Body of Christ about the angels."

The Role of Angels

Angels Worship God and Serve Us (the Saints):

"Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?" (Hebrews 1:14 NIV)

Here are two examples:

1. Elijah was strengthened by an angel (1 Kings 19:5–7).

2. Jesus was ministered to after temptation (Matthew 4:11).

Angels Are Messengers:

The name for angels in Greek is angelos, which means "messengers." They carry words or (orders) to be delivered from God.

"Just then an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. But the angel said to them, 'Do not be afraid! For behold, I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people: Today in the city of David a Savior has been born to you. He is Christ the Lord!'" (Luke 2:9–11 BSB)

Angels Execute Judgment and Breakthrough:

"Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shone in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. 'Quick, get up!' he said, and the chains fell off Peter's wrists." (Acts 12:7 NIV)

"But the prince of the Persian kingdom resisted me twenty-one days. Then Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia." (Daniel 10:13 NIV)

"The Son of Man will send out His angels, and they will weed out of His Kingdom everything that causes sin and all who do evil." (Matthew 13:41 NIV)

Testimony of Angelic Assistance

Testimony from October 15–16, 2022:

I was at a church in Eau Claire, Wisconsin, and on the evening of October 15, 2022, during worship, the pastor of the church pointed out that a satanist had entered our gathering. I saw him across the auditorium. He was wearing a hood over his head and stood in the back during worship. I walked to the opposite side of the auditorium to discern what he might be up to, and I recognized the Holy Spirit was drawing his heart towards the flame of God!

As I observed him from afar, I suddenly saw a vision over this man, and I knew what specifically had happened in his life that had made him the way he was. I watched in the vision as his dad beat him and cursed at him, and I saw gaping wounds in his heart. (Photo via Pexels)

As soon as I discerned this—even though I hadn't said anything to him—the demons inside him saw that I knew why he was that way and that they weren't safe anymore. Instantly, his eyes went dark; he glared over to me and immediately ran out of the building. I left the meeting and ran after him.

When I caught up to him, I said, "Man, God loves you! And the reason you hate yourself is because of the physical beatings you received." I then proceeded to share further details from my vision.

In that moment, he came to his right mind, and with tears coming down his face, he said, "How the #$@* do you know me?"

To which I responded and said, "I don't know you, but Jesus does—and He loves you!" Then I asked the man, "What do you want from God?"

Now deeply crying, he said, "I want freedom from these demons, and I want to live for Jesus, but there is no way He will accept me. I'm evil."

He then pulled up his shirt to reveal a large, deeply burned, upside-down cross branded on his abdomen.

I said, "None of this has any power against God's love and forgiveness that He gives us in the cross of Christ."

I had the great honor of leading this man in a prayer of repentance and salvation. I declared freedom over him from demonic power, and he began to be set free. I told him, "If what took place here is real, come back tomorrow and get baptized in obedience to Jesus!"

He showed up the next morning, and I proceeded towards him. He said, "After last night, all of my suicide demons left me."

I then said, "Well, let's get you baptized." At that point, I discerned some wrestling within him; his expression seemed to turn to stone. So I began to pray over him, but it seemed like nothing was getting through, and he was resisting the desire to be baptized. I then sensed the Lord at that moment say, "Let the angels assist you."

I thought, "Okay, they are here to help serve us." So without speaking out loud, by faith in my heart, I said, "Angels, according to the Word of God, assist me in this man's freedom and deliverance right now, in Jesus' name."

Almost immediately, this man's stone-faced expression broke; tenderness came into his eyes, and he began to weep. I asked him again, "Do you want to make Jesus your Lord and be baptized?"

He said, "More than anything."

Angels Bringing Breakthrough

Dream received on January 20, 2026:

My daughter, who is on mission trip in a foreign country as I write this, sent me a picture of a coffee shop she had just been to. At that moment, I literally remembered I'd had a dream I'd forgotten from that morning. Here is what I texted her:

"I literally just remember having a dream last night, and in the dream I saw you and her friend [who also happens to be on the same mission trip with my daughter] at a beautiful coffee shop! I was telling someone that the coffee was amazing there. I was also there, and then my friend Gabriel showed up beside me. All of a sudden, I began to see huge butterflies of all colors appear all around us. (Photo via Pexels)

"In the dream I suddenly had a knowing that Gabriel was the angel Gabriel, and the butterflies were symbolic of other angels assigned by the Lord to help advance His Kingdom in the nation.

"All of a sudden I spoke up and prophesied: 'Gabriel and the angels are here to be commissioned.' As soon as I said that, hundreds of butterflies as large as a person lined up like an army staring at me and Josie and some others.

"I announced loudly, 'It's time to release them by prayer and prophetic declaration.' I said, 'Angels, go forth to the nation in swift flight and bring the breakthrough of God's word in the power of His spirit.'"

"At that, we all began to pray and declare specific things, and the butterflies—one by one, and some dozens at a time—would fly off and disappear. The whole time I knew the butterflies were actually symbolic of angels. Dream end!"

What It Means to Commission Angels

It's not that we are commanding angels by our own authority. God is the Captain and Commander of the hosts of Heaven. But the saints "employ"/co-mission these ministering spirits through prayer and the declaration of God's word.

"Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command. Bless the LORD, all His hosts, you servants who do His will!" (Psalm 103:20–21 BSB)

Angels are not obligated to obey man, nor are they there to fulfill our own will. They serve us, by God's authority, and are responsive to His voice and words, not ours alone. Our job as saints is to discern God's will, pray it into being, and declare His word—the voice of His commands in our mouth.

Here are some more Biblical examples of how prayer "employs" angels:

• Daniel prayed and fasted, and an angel later appeared, saying he was sent because of Daniel's prayer, though he was delayed by spiritual conflict (see Daniel 10).

• The Church prayed for Peter, and an angel freed him from prison (see Acts 12:5–11).

• An angel appeared to Zechariah in response to his prayer for a child (seen Luke 1:11–20).

• An angel was shown presenting the prayers of God's people before Him like incense (see Revelation 8:3–4).

How Angels Are Involved in the Harvest of Nations

It's important to understand that when we pray according to God's will, and declare His words and prophetic promises, angels are being commissioned. The awareness that there is a heavenly host involved in our mandate on the earth should both encourage us and give us faith to know we can be part of how the angels are commissioned on behalf of the harvest of nations!

Here are a couple of examples from Scripture of how angels are involved in the harvest of nations:

"The harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels." (Matthew 13:39 NIV) (Photo via StockCake)

"There is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents." (Luke 15:10 ESV)

False Flags

Dream received on January 11, 2026:

(I had this dream on a night when I had spent time praying and asking God to send angelic assistance in my dreams to see what I needed to know for this time.)

In my dream, I was walking with a woman whom I knew represented someone that loves God and our nation, but was also someone from more of the "mainstream" group of people who are "less informed" about the deeper aspects of what is going on behind the scenes in our nation.

As I was walking with her in the dream, we went through a narrow path between a house called "Madison & Union" and a large pine tree. As we walked through the path, suddenly we turned the corner and walked out into a wide clearing.

As soon as we turned the corner, the woman had a revelation and she said, "I feel like so much of what has been going on in our nation has been a movie production."

And I knew that things had reached a point where those who really didn't know what had been going on were now beginning to see the orchestration behind events, and it was becoming obvious to the masses that most events were not real, or in part fabricated, to manufacture desired outcomes.

I looked at this woman and said, "I've been saying it for a long time, 'False flags.'"

When I said this, I actually knew that we had been in a long season where the "good guys/patriots/white hats" had been using the deep-state playbook (false flags) against them (the deep state) for the sake of our nation. And I also had an immediate thought in the dream that more events were coming.

Dream end.

Here are some thoughts on this dream:

1. Madison & Union

President James Madison is considered the father of the constitution, and the union of the states is nothing without our constitution.

2. The Pine Tree

The pine tree is a prophetic reminder of the "An Appeal to Heaven" flag with the pine tree, first flown in the revolutionary war by G. Washington to depict the call to God for justice when all earthly means fail.

3. False Flags

I believe the events (false flags) that have been orchestrated by the patriots have funneled the masses/the mainstream through the narrow path, where we are being united again through the American Constitution, and faith in God.

We are at this place where we are now turning the corner, and many eyes are being opened to see the "movie" playing out before our eyes. Obviously, many don't see it yet, and some may never, but I believe the dream is letting us know that the main-stream mass of Americans are not being emotionally manipulated anymore. They are beginning to see the production, orchestration, and manufacturing of present events and realities.

Americans are beginning to recognize much of the war for this nation has been psychological. Operations for decades have been conducted against us with globalist and nefarious agendas. Now we are beginning to get the "behind the scenes" look in real time.

I believe the awakening that is happening in the seeing of false flags is training the future generations never to yield our freedoms due to emotionally driven events! We are becoming a logical and rational people again, who are wise to the playbooks of tyrants and controllers!

Ultimately, as the patriots conduct more events, this is preparing everyone for the type of public justice that must come and is coming! Stay in prayer! Stay in faith!
