 DEDICATION

I dedicate this book solely to he Lord Jesus Christ, who by he

Holy Spirit granted unto me access into certain spiritual truths and
mysteries in the prophetic which I know were beyond my normal
range of sight to be able to understand, comprehend and document
for the beneit and ediication of all. I also want to dedicate this book
to everyone that so desire to function in the prophetic, and to those
that care so much to have an understanding of how the prophetic
functions and inluence the earth from the heavens. Angelic Encounter
and Visitation have never been exclusive, preserved for a few elites,
it is a realm that is open to all by God. he prophetic and vision is a
manifestation that all are called into in God. May you not be excluded
from the manifestation and functioning of the prophetic in our day
and time!

Blessings to you all!

I thank he LORD for all those sacriicial servants who have upheld
my arms as we continue with endurance to run the race that is set
before us. I also want to thank the pioneers who have gone before us

Angelic Encounter and Visitaion 1

 ANGELIC
ENCOUNTER
AND
VISITATION

E
ncounter should be a normal experience for every believer. As a
believer, you should be full of encounters with God’s Spirit and
with the heavenly. he more you encounter the heavenly, the
more heavenly minded you become. One of the most controversial
encounters that people debate on daily basis and try to validate is the
encounter with angels. his encounter is not an exclusively reserved
for a group of elites, but an encounter for all in God. he angelic realm
is opened to whosoever God chooses to relate with in that dimension,
whether a believer, unbeliever or even an idol worshipper.
From the beginning of the scriptures, we see how concurrently God
sent angels to communicate and relate with humans on earth and this

2
 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

people of old never considered it strange a manifestation as seen in

our day. he subject of the angelic cannot be overemphasized. I cannot
write much about the angelic in this chapter, nevertheless I will shed
a little light for the purpose of this chapter. If you so desire more light
and revelations on the angelic, then I urge you to study the scriptures
on the dealings of God with humans via the angelic.
he angelic has been misunderstood by many, although many
books have been written to address and give more light on the subject.
Ask he Holy Spirit to lead and direct you on some of the books to
read, so that you will have a clear picture and the perspective of God
regarding the angelic and its manifestation.
he visitation of God has the ability to preserve people. We have
seen God visit people in times past and His visitation was done by
many angelic encounters that resulted in tremendous manifestations
on the earth. he visitation and encounters of the angelic is an
announcement of a new thing on the earth. When God sends an angel
to a man on the earth, He is willing to do something supernatural that
will have great impact overtime.
In the Old Testament, angels appear frequently to men and were
even seen eating with humans face to face. When the angels of he
LORD were going to destroy Sodom and Gomorrah, they came to
Abraham and fellowshipped with him. Abraham gave them food and
they did eat before they let. As they ate, they spoke to Abraham about
the birth of his son Isaac as a plan in God’s purpose and Abraham
pleaded for the saving of his cousin Lot who resided in the land they
were sent to destroy.
Lot on the other hand dwelt between Sodom and Gomorrah and
as the angels came, he welcomed them and took them to his house to
eat and fellowship. It is normal in times past for angels to eat food with
men. Angels are products of light, but by the permission of God can
take a nature of lesh to relate with humans on the earth. Angels are not
disembodied spirits because that nature still resides within them. On
the other hand, demons are disembodied spirits because the potential
and ability to take a body of lesh was taken away from them when they
backslide into darkness.

3
 Philip฀Cephas

Angels being products of light sustain the covering weight that

can materialize as lesh nature on earth to be seen by humans, but
that nature is never revealed at any time except if permitted by God
he Father Almighty. Angels don’t just invade the earth, they come
by the permission of God to execute a function. he earth realm is
that of body and lesh and for anyone to relate efectively on earth,
the nature of a body and a lesh is needed. If you don’t have a body,
you are on earth illegally and can’t function until permitted in a body.
No wonder demons seek earnestly for a body to possess so that they
can be legal to function on earth. he angels are not disembodied as
demons are, just that they don’t take the nature of lesh and body unless
permitted by God. Angels can take you to the realm of the spirits when
summoned by God since you have a spirit. Angels are saddled with
many responsibilities on earth even though they are not visible to most
humans.
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for
them who shall be heirs of salvation?
Hebrews 1:14
You don’t have to be a spiritual person to see an angel. God’s angel
can be sent to anyone to minister to him in a season. I once had a
friend that was not very spiritual according to human measure, but he
sees angels frequently. Also, there are many people, young and old that
since they were born they naturally see angels. his people may not
even know how to relate and welcome the angels, but they still keep
seeing the angels and their manifestation.
Holy angels are never given the permission to possess humans, but
they can surely inluence our lives on earth. You can be inluenced by
an angelic presence and even share in their strength and glory. his
may look strange to people, but it is true. When you constantly have
angelic encounters, a time will come when you begin to share in the
strength and glory of the angels. Supernatural strength and abilities can
begin to function in your life and this sharing in strength and power is
also permitted by God.
he children of Israel were fed with “manna” which was the
bread of angels for many years. he power of that manna was seen

 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

manifesting in their lives. hey moved and travelled by foot without

getting weary. heir cloths and sandals grew with them and they never
got old. Elijah was given food by an angel and the angel demanded
he eat and eat again. Ater he had eaten, he was able to move in the
strength of that angel food for 40 days and 40 nights. hat was the
inluence of the food of angels. Angelic inluences can be extraordinary,
but God has to permit it to happen. When God does not permit any
inluence of the angels on humans, it will always result to evil and
propagation of darkness on the earth overtime. his occurred in
Genesis 6, when the angels of God came and slept with the daughters
of men. his unholy alliance with each other resulted in the birthing
of Nephilim who were giants that ruled and terrorized the earth at that
time. hese Nephilim encouraged men into rebellion that God had to
intervene by destroying the whole earth. his may look controversial
but it is the truth.
Giants like Goliath and some recorded in the scriptures were a
products of unholy alliances of humans and spirit beings. People of
old were that rebellious to God’s commandment and precepts. In the
house of Lot when the angels came to dine with him, the people of the
land that were perverted into iniquity came and sought to sleep with
the angels, but Lot ofered to give his daughters to them instead of the
angels. hey never got to sleep with either the angels or his daughters
because the angels intervened. hat was how terrible it was in times
past. People abused the privilege God gave them of relating with angels.
I believe one of the reasons why angels are not that common and
visible in our days is because of the abuse of the privileges given in
time past and how fallen angels now always seek to corrupt every
genuine thing that God seek to initiate on earth. Nevertheless, angels
are still friends to humans as God has put them as ministering spirit to
minister to us heaven’s realities. It is true that God has set His angels to
watch over each and every one of us. He sets His angels in charge over
all His creations. Many refer to them as “guardian angels.” he word
‘guardian’ means watcher and one who looks over you. If it is true that
God has set His angels to watch over His creation of which we are a
part of and since we are mobile as humans, then the angels are mobile
as well. here are more spirits on earth than there are human beings.

5
 Philip฀Cephas

It was never an issue whether angels will not be suicient for each
creation because God created angels even before humans were given
birth to on the earth.
Angels are mostly categorized by the nature of the work they do,
their degree of light and closeness to the throne of God. he throne
of God is the centre of power and light. he closer an angel is to that
throne, the more light and power he carries and sustains. Angels always
radiate and illuminate light because they are products of light, high
ranking angels radiate more degree of light when you see them and
some even cause earthquake as they walk the earth. Most times, angels
and spirits don’t touch the ground when they are not materialized on
earth because it is illegal for them. hey surely need a body for that to
be possible. hey are usually seen loating on the air.
Angels are ministering spirits sent by God to His creation to
minister to them. here are angels that are referred to as messenger
angels. hese angels are sent to deliver messages by God on consistent
basis. Arch angel Gabriel is the chief angel among that category of
angels that God sends to deliver messages to mankind. here are others
that are in charge of warfare and combat, they are warring angels
that ight with darkness and demons when God permits. Arch angel
Michael is the chief among that category.
here are some angels that are in charge of watching over people,
places and things. hese are referred to as watchers like the cherubim.
hese angels guard territories with spiritual resources and guard people
of value that God is jealous of. here are angels that guard people daily.
hey are referred to as guardian angels. hese angels are believed to be
attached to everyone on earth whether good or bad. Jesus spoke and
said, we should be careful not to hurt the little ones for their angels are
standing in the presence of God. hat is to give us an understanding
that, there are angels that stand by us and report to God our dealings in
life. hese are our guardians on earth even if men don’t care to watch
over us. here are also ministering angels that come to take our prayers
and petitions to heaven, as it is written in the book of Revelation that,
the angels of he LORD take our prayers and petitions to heaven in the
form of an incense.

6
 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

here are angels that guard the holiness of God. hese are the
seraphim. Also, there are those that guard the glory of God, these are
the cherubim. he seraphim are also referred to as the “burning ones,”
they are angels that are jealous of the things of God. hey have a holy
anger to protect the holiness of God. he cherubim are also referred
to as the “zealous ones”, they are very zealous for God’s kingdom.
You don’t see such angels until you have a holy jealousy and zeal for
God and His kingdom. he living creatures are another dimension of
the angelic that stands by God. hey contain His glory and light. he
wheels are another dimension of the living creatures upon which God
uses to move and travel as a chariot on earth.
here is so much about the angelic that I cannot cover all, but
surely all you need to know about the angels are written crystal clear
in the scriptures. When you study the dealings of angels with human
overtime, you will have an understanding of the pattern of their
dealings. hat understanding is necessary so that you can be able to
relate with one when God sees it it to send him to you on earth. Angels
are not to be feared, they don’t hurt human beings.
Most times when you see an angel, it is because they are on an
assignment that involves you directly or indirectly. here is also
ranking even in the realm of the angelic and angels never break their
ranks before God. Not all angels stand in the presence of God, so also
not all are sent by God. Arch Angel Gabriel was in charge of delivering
messages of redemption to mankind. Also, Arch Angel Michael is
always involved in battles and warfare.
he ranking of the angelic is diferent from the categorization of
the angelic. Angels can be categorized into many categories as I have
shown by their functions and they can be ranked by the degree of light
and how close they are to the throne of God which is the centre of
power and inluence. As I study on the subject matter, I found several
categorization and ranking of the angelic that are worthy of note. his
ranking is based on the proximity of the angels to the throne of God
and the power and degree of light they sustain. he closer an angel is to
the throne, the more strength and power they possess above the others
because not all angels stand in the presence of God. here is a chain of

7
 Philip฀Cephas

command from the top to the bottom and God made it so in the very
beginning.

he Angelic Ranking
• Living Creatures
• Wheels (Owphanim)
• Seraphim
• Cherubim
• Arch Angels
• Angels
• Spirits

his is the ranking of the angelic that I found and ascertained as I

studied. he living creatures are found to be the closest to the throne
of God. hen, the wheels which is another dimension of the living
creatures, but they take that dimension when God wants to move from
His throne to the earth. he Seraphim and the Cherubim are found
together as one relates to God’s glory and the other God’s holiness.
Some scholars believe that the Cherubim should come before the
Seraphim and that is also accepted because they are all referred to
as the burning ones and they are very jealous for the throne of God
protecting His glory and holiness.
Ater the seraphim and the cherubim, it is the arch angels, then
other angels and inally spirits. hese spirits are part of the celestial
beings that God created that responds to Him when needed for an
assignment on earth. Lucifer was a special kind of creature. He was the
light bearer and the most anointed among the angels of his time. He
was puriied always as he walked up and down the coals of ire in the

8
 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

presence of God. He was both the arch angel of worship and a cherub
that covered the presence of God. He was referred to as the morning
star and admired by the angels of God. Jesus Christ is the bright
morning Star and Jesus is the only Star that is ranked above Lucifer the
morning star.

Moreover, the word of the LORD came unto me, saying, Son of
man, take up a lamentation upon the king of Tyrus, and say
unto him, hus saith the Lord GOD; hou sealest up the sum,
full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty. hou hast been in Eden
the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the
sardius, topaz, and the diamond, the beryl, the onyx, and the
jasper, the sapphire, the emerald, and the carbuncle, and gold:
the workmanship of thy tabrets and of thy pipes was prepared
in thee in the day that thou wast created. {sardius: or, ruby}
{beryl: or, chrysolite} {emerald: or, chrysoprase} hou art the
anointed cherub that covereth; and I have set thee so: thou wast
upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down
in the midst of the stones of ire. hou wast perfect in thy ways
from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in
thee. By the multitude of thy merchandise they have illed the
midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned: therefore, I
will cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God: and I will
destroy thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of
ire. hine heart was lited up because of thy beauty, thou hast
corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast
thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may
behold thee. hou hast deiled thy sanctuaries by the multitude
of thine iniquities, by the iniquity of thy traick; therefore will
I bring forth a ire from the midst of thee, it shall devour thee,
and I will bring thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of
all them that behold thee. All they that know thee among the
people shall be astonished at thee: thou shalt be a terror, and
never shalt thou be any more.
Ezekiel 28:11 - 19

 Philip฀Cephas

How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the

morning! how art thou cut down to the ground, which didst
weaken the nations! {O Lucifer: or, O day star} For thou hast
said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my
throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount
of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend
above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.
Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit.
hey that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee, and consider
thee, saying, Is this the man that made the earth to tremble,
that did shake kingdoms; hat made the world as a wilderness,
and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house
of his prisoners? {opened...: or, did not let his prisoners loose
homeward?} All the kings of the nations, even all of them, lie in
glory, every one in his own house. But thou art cast out of thy
grave like an abominable branch, and as the raiment of those
that are slain, thrust through with a sword, that go down to the
stones of the pit; as a carcase trodden under feet.
Isaiah 14:12-19
hese scriptures reveal to us how God in times past crowned
Lucifer with so much glory and beauty that he became perfect in
beauty, but he was imperfect in the heart until evil inally was revealed
and found in him. his made him lose the place of the beloved of God
and was cast out from the holy mountain of God, his glory was taken
away from him as well. His sin was the desire to put himself above the
stars of God and be like he Most High God. he word ‘stars’ refer to
the angelic princes of God created in heaven and on the earth.
he living creatures rank far from the devil. He was an arch angel
and a cherub but of a special kind. It was recorded that arch angel
Michael and his subordinate fought against Lucifer until he was cast
out from the mountain of God as profane. Evil became his companion
and darkness his dwelling. Lucifer which became the devil that now
dwells in darkness with his subordinate which are now called fallen
angels and demons. hey only seek to deceive and pervert the things of
God on earth knowing that they have but a limited time until they are
judged to the lake of ire.

10
 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

he devil wishes to deceive and pervert creation so that God

cannot help but judge him and also judge His creation including the
man He love. But thank God for redemption and Christ Jesus he
Anointed One who has anointed men and women to bring many
souls from darkness to light. With the help of the angels of God and
a partnership with holy men, the kingdom of heaven will invade the
earth and the devil will be put to shame.
Seeing angels and having prophetic experiences can never
automatically make you more spiritual than others that can’t see,
nevertheless, it can build some spiritual structures within you to
believe and contain more of God’s dimension on earth. here are many
beggarly believers that see angels’ oten, but seeing angels have nothing
to do with your spiritual maturity. God can choose to permit you that
privilege by grace to access that realm even as a spiritual babe. Seeing
angels will do no good to you if it doesn’t add up to your knowledge
and revelation of Christ Jesus. Angels are sent to release impartations
and deliver messages to mankind. If you only but see and receive
neither an impartation or a message, then your encounter of the
angelic is devoid of truth and spiritual realities and as such, it will not
add up to your processes in God.
Angelic encounters are supposed to be supernatural. hey may
not be spectacular, but they are not usual. Angels don’t just come to
do business in this realm if not sent by God, but people can be carried
away in the amazement of seeing them that they forget the main reason
why they came to them. When you are visited by an angel, seek to
gain an understanding of the purpose of the visitation than just being
amazed that you have seen an angel.
In times past, people encounter angels and their lives take a new
cause, but others also saw angels and asked for an unholy alliance like
the people of Sodom and Gomorrah. Your heart posture also matters
when you see an angel. he scripture says we should be careful not to
say in the presence of an angel that we made a mistake because angels
are sensitive to the words we speak and whether it’s a joke or not, they
take words said seriously.

11
 Philip฀Cephas

In Genesis 6, people had the privilege of meeting with angels

and this resulted in more darkness due to unholy fraternity and
partnerships. his act resulted in the perversion of the whole human
race in that time. When an angel is not sent and assigned to you by
God, they will do you no good and even if you seek to relate with them
to partner, you will end up either hurting yourself or mankind. his
is also true about prophetic encounters and experiences. God has to
initiate it then you respond by faith.
I can be designated for an encounter and a visitation on a particular
day by God and you may be in my room and the presence of God
will come to me alone releasing that encounter without you knowing.
You can partake of that encounter if God so wishes, but prophetic
encounters and experiences are personal and given by God in seasons
of demand; you don’t manipulate them to happen. When you try to
manipulate prophetic experiences to occur in your life, you begin
to practice witchcrat and wizardry. It is true that people do have
spirit transport by he Holy Spirit, but it is also true that witches and
wizards travel and ly by night and day also; this they do at will by the
agency of demonic spirit and princes. Elijah was able to call down ire
to consume the prophets of Baal by he Spirit of God, but there are
wizard that do that by demonic spirits. he picture I want to paint is
that, the very moment you try to force yourself into having a spiritual
prophetic experiences, you will end up attracting demonic spirit that
will open you to certain astral realms that is counterfeit to the original
divine. You don’t have to be that desperate to see angels, if God so
desires it for you, you will one. He will send him to you and you will
not have to do anything to see him. But if you do see angels, then
begin to develop a habit of welcoming them and try to understand the
messages they bring and partake of the impartation they give you.
here are so many angelic encounters and visitations as seen all
through the scriptures, but I will highlight but a few for the beneit of
understanding. Mary the mother of Jesus had an encounter with arch
angel Gabriel, who told her she would be pregnant with a son by he
Holy Spirit and He will become he Messiah that will take away the
sins of the whole wide world. his encounter changed her life and gave
her a new designation as one beloved among women forever.

12
 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

Jesus Christ lived a supernatural life till death. His death, burial
and resurrection, His birth was prophesied by the prophets and spoken
by wise men. Wise men saw His star that lead them to the very place
where He was born. His preservation was supernatural because angels
appeared to His father to give him direction on what to do to prevent
the child from being killed by the evil decree of the king. When He was
of age and ater the baptism of John the Baptist, it was recorded that as
He fasted and angels came to Him to strengthen Him.
Abraham the father of faith had numerous angelic encounters
which were normal to him. Being able to see angels is not a big deal
for people of faith. he realm of faith is that of the angelic. Jacob also
wrestled with an angel for His blessings which resulted in the change of
his name from Jacob to Israel. Paul the apostle on his way as they sailed
on a ship had an encounter with an angel that told him that they will
encounter a shipwreck, but no life will be lost and so it came to pass.
Gideon was hiding from the enemies threshing wheat not knowing
that God planned to give him an encounter through an angel on that
day. he angel brought a message that God has made him a deliverer
in that time. While he was hiding, an angel appeared to him and called
him a mighty man of valour which is the way God sees him. From the
speaking of that angel, Gideon’s life took a new cause of destiny and
purpose to deliver the people of God.
And there appeared unto him an angel of the Lord standing on
the right side of the altar of incense. And when Zacharias saw
him, he was troubled, and fear fell upon him. But the angel
said unto him, Fear not, Zacharias: for thy prayer is heard; and
thy wife Elisabeth shall bear thee a son, and thou shalt call his
name John.
Luke 1:11-13
Zachariah, a high priest was blameless and walking with God as
was his wife Elizabeth, but she was barren and could not conceive a son
for him. As he ministered to God as it was his time in the temple, Arch
angel Gabriel appeared and encountered him. he angel told him how
his wife will give birth to a son who will announce the coming of he
Messiah to the earth. he name of the son was given by the angel to be

13
 Philip฀Cephas

John. Zachariah objected and spoke words of unbelief which resulted

in the rescinding of his ability to speak until the birth of John.
Joshua was a warrior in Israel and a leader ater Moses. When
they were set to take over Jericho, he encountered an angel and he was
instructed as to what to do to conquer Jericho. As they followed the
instructions given by the angel, Jericho was conquered. So also in like
manner, people have had tremendous encounters with angels that have
changed the cause of their lives. Samson’s birth was spoken of by an
angel and the instruction for his preservation was given by the same
angel. Angels are not to be sought ater by us, but when God wants to
use them to minister to us, we will have an encounter with them. here
are times you don’t see them, but the impartation needed is released to
you by them at God’s command.
Angels are encountered mostly in the place of prayer. Prayerful
people always have encounter with angels knowing and unknowingly,
angels come to bring answers to prayers. Daniel had numerous
encounters with angels that came to give him answers to prayers
and petitions. Understanding and strength can be given by an angel,
revelation to secrets and things can also be given to us by angels.
Most ministers and prophetic individuals have this realm open
to them which makes them active in the spirit realm. Many years ago
as I began to pray and fast oten, I began to have angelic encounters
and visitation. hese encounters were strange to me until I gained
understanding of them overtime. Angels come to take me on a tour of
the heavens showing me heavens’ realities and truths. Such encounters
open me to the spirit world and increases my awareness and perception
in the spirit.
Angels are beings of light and carry power and as you relate with
them, you share in their strength and power overtime. Angels can talk
to you via your spirit. hey can come to deliver spiritual gits to you as
impartations in co-operate meetings and personal time of fellowship.
While praying during my times of angelic encounters, I do perceive a
presence around me that carry light and strength.
I do have angelic encounters in dreams and visions of the night.

14
 Angelic฀Encouter฀&฀Visitaion

here are few times when I see angels without being asleep. here was
a season in my life I can recall that God permitted His angels to come
teach me spiritual truths and realities for close to a month. It was a
season I can’t forget because the encounter was so supernatural. Most
of the spiritual truth I know and function with are products of such an
encounter of many years with those angels. hese angels come to my
room frequently and remain, communicating with me till morning.
hey relate with my spirit and release light, strength and illumination
upon me. his impartation I know was real and alive in me daily, one
day as two were standing by me, I was on the phone talking to a friend
when I said am tired of this angelic companionship, immediately the
one by the let stretched out his hand towards me and light hit me and
slain me for a long time. It was like a rebuke to me not to speak such
folly without knowledge concerning them. Angelic presence can open
portals that will grant you access to spirit realities. hose seasons in my
room was like heaven with a diferent atmosphere. his manifestation
was visible to others who can attest to it well.
Heaven has gates and windows and those portals can be opened
by the angels when they come to visit in a place on earth. When the
portals [gates and windows] of heavens are opened, spiritual resources
are transacted between realms. When Jacob laid to rest and saw heaven
open, he saw angels ascending and descending upon a ladder, there was
an exchange between the two realms. It was also an invitation for Jacob
to come up higher to a realm not known by too many. he opening of
the heavenly is as a result of the entrance of angelic princes into the
earth.
When angels encounter people, they release impartations on them
to fulil the will of God in their lives. When the portals of heaven is
opened, the blessing of God permeate the earth realm. When it comes
to the angelic and its function, faith and prayer is a vital tool to hold
onto. Angels are perceived by faith during prayers as they come to
minister to us. We must believe that they exist and are on our side
ready to do us good.
God still wants to partner with man on earth. hrough the ministry
angels, things are made easy when angels are engaged to help mankind.

As God send angels to help and assist us on earth, we must learn to

welcome them by faith and walk with them to fulil the will of God.
You welcome them by believing in them and the message they came
to profess, giving them an open heart to speak that which God sent
them to communicate. You are never to worship an angel because they
are also part of the creation of God, but they need to be believed by
humans.
I pray that as God sends angels to come help you in fulilling His
will and purpose on earth, you will be able to welcome them and walk
with them. You will not be deceived by the devil into darkness and
witchcrat because your love for God is your security and it will prevail
against all cratiness of the devil. May God watch His word over your
life to fulil it. Amen.
Shalom!!!
