Michael’s aware that his position
Is an important one
Chief, among the warring angels,
His work is second to none.
People do need his protection…
The Lord put him in charge.
Demons still claim earth’s dominion
And Satan’s still at large.
The sky and air above it
Remain a warring ground.
He escorts requests to Heaven
And brings the answers down.
He does battle with the forces
Who try harming God’s elite.
Although, at times, he’s been delayed
He has never known defeat.
Fighting principalities and powers
Are Michael’s main concern
Yet he’s also trained to minister
And to strengthen those who turn
Away from sin and slavery
And all evil entities
He’s in service to each heir
Whom Jesus has set free.
He commands legions of Angels
Whose vast numbers are unknown.
We read of the children’s’ Angels
Standing at the Father’s Throne.
Jesus spoke of tens of thousands
He could have called to His rescue.
God has a great army of Angels
And one’s assigned to me and you.
If our spiritual eyes were opened
To see into those unseen realms
We’d be shocked and so amazed…
I’m sure completely overwhelmed!
Although we’re not to worship Angels
We must give thanks to up above
That the mighty warring Angel
Is one more gift of God’s great love.

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities , against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world , against spiritual wickedness in high places.
