An Introduction to Angels
09/30/24 • 17 min
This episode kicks off a three-part series on angels, also known as God's servants or heavenly hosts. We'll explore key questions, like: What is the purpose of angels? Where did they come from? What do they do? How can we partner with them? Do we partner with them? In this first episode, we lay a solid biblical foundation for the series and offer practical insights on interacting with these heavenly beings.
Angels are given to us primarily to help fulfill God's will by bringing heaven to earth. As we grow in understanding who angels are, we will begin to see how God empowers us through partnership with both the angelic and Holy Spirit. This also helps us discern their presence in our dream life. Angels serve many purposes, including warring, protection, revelation, delivering messages, imparting strength, deliverance, judgment, prosperity, encouragement, instruction, and bringing understanding.

“We do not exert authority over angels, not even the archangel Michael resorted to slanderous accusations or spoke of his own opinion against the devil–He used the word of the Lord. So we, too, are to use the word of God when we mobilize angels into action. And we should never slander angels nor use them for slanderous works against others.”
“Angels will only respond to our decrees when we declare out of a revelatory understanding of being a son or a daughter.”

Don't Overthink It: Live Interpretation w/ Megan Nilsen
This week Margaux’s friend and fellow podcaster, Megan Nilsen, is joining us for a live dream interpretation, where God emphasizes a common theme through a series of curious dreams. These dreams highlight God’s preeminence and power, accentuating that He is the one who goes before all things, providing the grace needed for 'impossible' situations and miracles.
If you’ve been tracking with us for any length of time, you’ve likely heard us go through these key questions while interpreting a dream:
- When did you have the dream?
- Title of the dream, if you were to give it one.
- Emotions: mostly positive or negative?
As we interpret the dreams, Megan also shares her metamorphosis—from living one way to discovering what it truly means to yield to God as the Vinedresser and experience the fruit of His handiwork. Check out the full episode to hear Megan's powerful story of letting go of the flesh and embracing the joy and whimsy of the Spirit—and discover how you can experience your own transformation!
*Scripture References: Luke 2:52; Isaiah 43:19; John 15:1-8; Zechariah 4:6
“The Spirit of God is the X Factor that you can’t predict; you can prophesy it, but you can’t micromanage it. It happens or it doesn’t happen.”
“When we’re processing our own dream, God is speaking to us about our life. We don’t need someone else to be an expert on our life, no one else can be. Sometimes another person coming in helps break patterns we get into in our minds...having someone else come in and ask those questions gives more space and permission for you to dig into what’s happening.”

Interpreting Angels in Dreams
In part two of our series on angels, we explore how to recognize the presence of angels in dreams. As we see throughout Scripture, there are many times when angels appear overtly. However, there are also times when they appear in more veiled forms both in our dreams and in waking life. Most often, angels blend into your dreams, appearing as familiar figures like authority figures or even ordinary people. We can begin to discern their presence and purpose through their names and their actions, and tuning into how God speaks to us through patterns and details in our life.
Angels in dreams can appear in various symbolic forms, such as police officers, jailers, gas station attendants, birds—yes, birds!—and many other surprising shapes. By recognizing these symbols, we can begin to hone our discernment and understand their purpose. Identifying their presence invites us to ask God what they are doing and why they are there as it pertains to accomplishing the purposes of the Kingdom. Ultimately, we are reminded of the biblical idea of "entertaining angels unaware," and learning to perceive these heavenly beings is a journey of deeper spiritual awareness. Tune in to hear Margaux's story of learning to recognize angels, and join us as we grow in discerning them!
*Scripture References: Proverbs 18:21; Luke 1:13; Genesis 1; Hebrews 13:2
“We’re not over-spiritualizing anything. The spirit realm is more real than the natural, and the spirit was actually the very first realm. It existed before God created the physical realm.”
“It’s about opening your mind to the fact that you’re probably having angels in your dreams and you just didn’t know how to recognize them yet. So start to get curious!”
