Do I understand the following correctly, and if so, what are your thoughts on why?

The inclusion of Gentiles into the church. In Acts 10 (and elsewhere in the NT), a messenger angel directs Peter to share the Gospel's Good News with Cornelius and his family. In Acts chapter eleven, Peter recounts the event. This theme is a constant in scripture.

He saw in a vision evidently about the ninth hour of the day an angel of God coming in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius… (Acts 10:3)

I think the good news of the Gospel of Grace must come from the people of God, the church. It appears heavenly angels are sent to direct men where to go to share the Gospel; Philip is another NT example.

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. (Romans 10:17)

I have heard this before but cannot find any scriptural support to verify it. Angels are not qualified, do not understand, or are allowed to preach, teach, or share the Gospel of Grace.

Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into. (1 Peter 1:12)

In the Tribulation, angels are very busy carrying out God's judgments. If my above thoughts have any merit, the below everlasting gospel must be a different gospel than that of Grace after the harpazo angels are allowed to preach.

And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people, (Revelation 14:6)

Therefore, and by that exegesis, the Gospel of Grace, the everlasting gospel, the kingdom of God, and the kingdom of heaven cannot be synonymous and interchangeable.

So, are angels allowed to preach the Gospel of Grace to men? If so, or not, why?

The passage in Acts 10, does not have angels preaching the gospel, instead they deliver  a message .

,“Your prayers and gifts to the poor have been received by God as an offering! 5 Now send some men to Joppa, and summon a man named Simon Peter. 6 He is staying with Simon, a tanner who lives near the seashore.”

A gels are servants of God and he uses them as he sees fit.

Think angels are involved in the spreading of the gospel. However don't believe its direct contact.

Angels have many duties throughout the Bible.  The greatest good news they delivered was to the Shepherds when Christ was born.  Luke 2:8-14.  The Lord uses his angels, servants, and man for His purposes, as He determines.  While we do not see them normally preaching the gospel, we do see, in God's one final effort to warn man in Revelation 14:6, an angel flying midair with the eternal gospel to proclaim to those who live on the earth.  So, there is your examples that they have delivered the gospel.  In short, God uses His angels and his Heavenly hosts as He sees fit.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
