While there is great diversity among the angelic host, each category of angels has a specific assignment and distinct attributes. But there are three primary functions listed in the scriptures concerning all the angelic hosts. 1.   According to Psalms 148:2, 5 All the angels are commissioned to praise and worship God. This is their first and most prominent ministry. 2.   According to Hebrews 1:7, 14 All the angels are ministering spirits, flames of fire called to render service to those who will inherit salvation. 3.   According to Psalms 103:20-21 Angels excel in strength, obey the voice of His word, and perform God's [...]

LESSONS FROM THE MORAVIANS A Prayer Meeting that Lasted 100 Years by Leslie K. Tarr FACT:  The Moravian community of Hernnhut, Saxony, in 1727, commenced an around-the-clock “prayer watch” that continued non-stop for over a hundred years. FACT:  By 1792, 65 years after commencement of that prayer vigil, the small Moravian community had sent 300 missionaries to the ends of the earth! Could it be that there is some relationship between those two facts? Is fervent intercession a basic component in world evangelization?

In the Footsteps of Abraham One of the first great intercessors in the Bible was Abraham, and his most famous intercessory prayer was for one of the most sinful places in the ancient world! Sodom and Gomorrah have become synonymous with sin, sexual debauchery, and sodomy, yet the great Patriarch of Israel, the “father of faith,” interceded passionately that those twin cities of sin be spared! I believe it was this kind of compassion that led God to say, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?” (Gen. 18:17) When God told Abraham that He planned [...]
