oRead Acts 12:12-25. 12:24: "the word of God grew and multiplied."

What is of interest is the way God helped this process by the use of angels.  An angel delivered Peter who had already gone to another place to preach in safety.  And an angel killed Herod who had had the arrogance to kill an apostle and to please the enemies of the cross.  Consistent with Scripture, no one prayed to angels or for angels.  Prayer was simply made continuously to God Who sovereignly moved.  This time God happened to use His ministering spirits.  How often does God use angels with us?  I believe it really doesn’t matter.  We are to pray constantly to God.  God will answer as He wills, maybe with an angel, maybe with a Christian brother or sister.  And God will get the praise, all of it!
