Have you ever wondered about the presence of angels in your life? By an extraordinary gift God has given him, Blake Healy hasn’t had that problem since he was a child.
From a very young age, Healy has been able to see both angels and demons. The director of the Bethel Atlanta School of Supernatural Ministry, he’s been labeled a seer in the Spirit.
Healy has always realized the extraordinary gift God has given him and the opportunity to interact with them. As a youngster, he hardly ever seized the chance to do so.
But as his role in the kingdom has flourished over the years, Healy says his interaction with angels has increased so that he can better serve those around him as one of God’s messengers.
Because of his gift, Healy has been asked by many curious believers if we, as human beings, have the power to command angels. His answer is simple.
“If there’s a specific message for a ministry that I serve now, a church that I’m ministering at, if there is a direction for the church, that’s where I’ll run into that kind of conversation a little bit more,” Healy tells Charisma News’ John Matarazzo in a recent interview. “It’s interesting because the conversation of commanding angels comes up pretty frequently now.
“I’ve heard strong arguments on both sides that, one, you should absolutely not command angels,” Healy says. “But others say that you absolutely should have the ability to command angels. My rule of thumb is one of the most beautiful facets of the gospel, and that is that Jesus is our only intermediary between us and the Father. So again, what is beautiful about the gospel is that we have actually been invited into a relationship with God without intermediary.”
As a seer, Healy says he believes angels “respect the reality” that they don’t exist as an intermediary between human beings and God, but that they exist as servants of God who are partnering with God for His purposes.
“I do hesitate to do anything that would put an angel between me and the Lord to feel like I have to do a certain thing,” he adds. “But one thing I do see constantly is when people are doing the things that God has designed them to do, angels are constantly partnering with them.
“It can be things of traditional ministry like leading worship or preaching or praying for talks or things of that nature,” Healy says. “But it’s also in all the other godly things that we are called to in our life that we don’t always think of angels in this way. Many of us are called to be in the world and to bring God’s kingdom to those that we think of as non-ministry areas. Even though the whole world belongs to God and doing anything good in the world is an expression of God’s kingdom. So, I see angels partnering with that.”
In essence, if you, as a believer, are partnering with God to do what He has called you to do, then having angels at your side to help you with your kingdom tasks is one of the benefits that come along with the partnership.
“If I’m partnering with the purposes of God in my life, He is undoubtedly prepared and has sent angels to partner with those purposes,” Healy says. “So, rather than being concerned about ‘Should I tell an angel to do that?’ I think it’s more of an aspect of, ‘Should I be doing that? Should I be stepping out in authority in this particular area?'”
Healy says we must continue to look for opportunities to partner with angels, and with their help, God will send those opportunities to bring us heavenly help to do His will.
