Introduction

On the basis of the scripture of Exodus 25:17-20 the Lord showed me how we as his people are able to receive more activity of angels in our lives.

Exodus 25:17-20:
17 “Make an atonement cover of pure gold—two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide.
18 And make two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover.
19 Make one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; make the cherubim of one piece with the cover, at the two ends.
20 The cherubim are to have their wings spread upward, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim are to face each other, looking toward the cover.

The above mentioned scripture reveals that the two golden angelic beings (note: "Cherubim" means “glancing appearance, lights of lightnings”) were made out of the golden covering plate at its two ends. Because of this fact it is good to know the biblical meaning of gold, which gives us a better understanding about the things which God wants us to give.
The Cherubim are angelic beings who are close connected to the throne room of God and his presence (see Psalm 99:1; Psalm 18:10 i.c.w. Ezekiel 10:1; Ezekiel 11:22).

Psalm 99:1:
1 The Lord reigns, let the nations tremble; he sits enthroned between the cherubim, let the earth shake.

Psalm 18:10:
10 He mounted the cherubim and flew; he soared on the wings of the wind.

Ezekiel 10:1:
1 I looked, and I saw the likeness of a throne of sapphire above the vault that was over the heads of the cherubim.

Ezekiel 11:22:
22 Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.

Gold, the Richness of Faith

In accordance to the word of God the precious metal gold represents among other things the richness of faith as it is written in the book of Revelation 3:18a (see 1 Peter 1:7).

Revelation 3:18a (message to the church of Laodicea):
18a I counsel you to buy from me gold refined in the fire, so you can become rich …

1 Peter 1:7:
7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
By this above mentioned explanation we can see, that the richness of faith which is supernatural wealth increases the activation of angels and the presence of God in our lives.

Angelic Activity and the Five Senses

The letter of Hebrews instructs us, that we should be spiritual mature to be authorized of receiving the solid food.
The spiritual maturity is in this context connected with the saints who trained their senses (see Hebrew 5:14).

Hebrews 5:14:
14 But solid food is for the mature, who by constant use have trained themselves (note: theirs senses) to distinguish good from evil.

Angelic Activity and the Five Senses

Angelic activity can be felt by our spiritual senses like feeling, seeing, smelling, hearing and tasting because angels serve us accordance to God's will from the outside.
The Holy Spirit on the other side is serving us from the inside.
The sense of tasting is linked to the bread of angels that is given to us by the Heavenly Father and is as well linked to Jesus Christ as THE WORD OF GOD (see Exodus 16:15.31; Wisdom 16:20-21 i.c.w. Ezekiel 3:1-3; Revelation 10:9-10; John 6:31-35)

Exodus 16:15.31:
15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to each other, “What is it?” For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, “It is the bread the Lord has given you to eat. …
31 The people of Israel called the bread manna. It was white like coriander seed and tasted like wafers made with honey.

Wisdom 16:20-21:
20 Instead of this, you nourished your people with food of angels and furnished them bread from heaven, ready to hand, untoiled-for, endowed with all delights and conforming to every taste.
21 For this substance of yours revealed your sweetness toward your children, and serving the desire of the one who received it, was changed to whatever flavor each one wished.

Ezekiel 3:1-3:
1 And he said to me, “Son of man, eat what is before you, eat this scroll; then go and speak to the people of Israel.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he gave me the scroll to eat.
3 Then he said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll I am giving you and fill your belly with it.” So I ate it, and it tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth.

Revelation 10:9-10:
9 So I went to the angel and asked him to give me the little scroll. He said to me, “Take it and eat it. It will turn your belly bitter, but ‘in your mouth it will be as sweet as honey.’”
10 I took the little scroll from the angel’s hand and ate it. It tasted as sweet as honey in my mouth, but when I had eaten it, my belly turned bitter.

John 6:31-35:
31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’”
32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven.
33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”
34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”
35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.

Pure Gold- persisted Faith

The gold that comes refined out of the fire as the book of Revelation 3:18a says, is our tested faith that persisted by the leading of the Holy Spirit through the phase of testing. It is similar to the testing phase of Jesus Christ as he was full of the Holy Spirit and tempted by the devil in the desert.
After Jesus finished the testing season, the angels of God ministered to him (see Matthew 4:1.11 i.c.w. James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 1:6-7).

Matthew 4:1.11:
1 Then Jesus was led by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. …
11 Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

James 1:2-4:
2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, 3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.
4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.

1 Peter 1:6-7:
6 In all this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials.
7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.

Centered in Christ and Supernaturally Aligned with Israel

If we come to rest in Christ by putting him as our precious cornerstone as the head over our lives and are as well supernaturally aligned with Israel by having the biblical/ Hebrew mindset in accordance to Romans 11:17-18, we will begin to see angels moving in an increased way in our lives similar as Jacob saw it and similar as Jesus promised it to Nathanael (see Genesis 28:10-12 i.c.w. 1 Peter 2:6; Ephesians 2:20; John 1:47-51)!

Romans 11:17-18:
17 If some of the branches have been broken off, and you, though a wild olive shoot, have been grafted in among the others and now share in the nourishing sap from the olive root, 18 do not consider yourself to be superior to those other branches. If you do, consider this: You do not support the root, but the root supports you.

Genesis 28:10-12:
10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Harran.
11 When he reached a certain place, he stopped for the night because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones there, he put it under his head and lay down to sleep.
12 He had a dream in which he saw a stairway resting on the earth, with its top reaching to heaven, and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.

1 Peter 2:6:
6 For in Scripture it says: “See, I lay a stone in Zion, a chosen and precious cornerstone, and the one who trusts in him will never be put to shame.”

Ephesians 2:20:
… 20 built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone.

John 1:47-51:
47 When Jesus saw Nathanael approaching, he said of him, “Here truly is an Israelite in whom there is no deceit.”
48 “How do you know me?” Nathanael asked. Jesus answered, “I saw you while you were still under the fig tree before Philip called you.”
49 Then Nathanael declared, “Rabbi, you are the Son of God; you are the king of Israel.”
50 Jesus said, “You believe because I told you I saw you under the fig tree. You will see greater things than that.”
51 He then added, “Very truly I tell you, you will see ‘heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending on’ the Son of Man.”

The apostle Nathanael (note: means “God has given”; see Ephesians 4:10-11) is at first a prophetic sign that directs to the apostles but also to the true followers of Jesus Christ. These followers are saints who live in the fullness of the knowledge of Jesus Christ (see Ephesians 4:13) because they have a divine understanding about Israel (note: symbol for the fig tree under which Nathanael sat) and the anointed Bride of the Lamb.
This has as result, that the movement of God unfolds in a powerful way by the seven angels of the church and the twelve angels of the tribes of Israel (see Revelation 1:16a.20; Revelation 21:12).

Revelation 1:16a.20:
16a In his right hand he held seven stars, …
20 The mystery of the seven stars that you saw in my right hand and of the seven golden lampstands is this: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

Revelation 21:12:
12 It had a great, high wall with twelve gates, and with twelve angels at the gates. On the gates were written the names of the twelve tribes of Israel.

The Manifestation by Angelic Activity

As mentioned before angelic activity can be felt by our five senses because it is said about angels that they are winds or fires (see Psalm 104:4 i.c.w. Hebrews 1:7).

Psalm 104:4:
4 He makes winds his angels, flames of fire his servants.

Hebrews 1:7:
7 In speaking of the angels he says, “He makes his angels spirits, and his servants flames of fire.”

These two elements (note: wind and fire) can be felt from the outside.
Let us increase in faith to comprehend stronger the presence of the Lord in our lives.

Amen and Amen.

In His Wisdom,
