I was walking around my yard today, just talking to The LORD and out of the corner of my eye, I saw what I think to be an angel standing in the corner of my property.

And I heard. “Four Corners and the Four Faces.”

These amazing angels not only surround our properties where we dwell, but as the angels guarded the Ark of the Covenant which carried the Presence of God, so now they also guard your body, which IS the temple of God.

“Beloved.  You are not alone.  I have commanded My angels concerning you.  As they stand at the four corners of the earth, so they stand guard over your dwelling places.

I have stationed them at the four corners.  And as cherubim guarded My Presence in the Ark of the Covenant, so now the angels guard My Presence in you.

Do you see, My Child?  You who are born again and carry My Holy Spirit, you are guarded day and night. My Mighty Ones spread out their wings above you, overshadowing you.

Wing to wing, I have you covered, Beloved.  I have sent My Spirit into your heart crying out,” Abba Father.”

Through your new birth, you dwell in the Secret Place of The Most High.  You are the Temple of the Living God. Forever, you abide under the Shadow of My Wings.

The angels minister to My Heirs and protect My Presence in you.  You are not alone, Beloved, for I dwell in you and walk among you.

I AM your God, your Father, your Savior and you are My people.  Sing for joy in the Shadow of My Wings.  I have you COVERED.”

“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.  Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.  He shall cover you with His feathers, And under His wings you shall trust,”   Psalm 91:1,3-4.

“How precious is Your loving devotion, O God, that the children of men take refuge in the shadow of Your wings,”   Psalm 36:7 (Also Psalm 63:7).

“And because you are sons, God sent the Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying out, “Abba, Father!””   Galatians 4:6.

“Or what agreement has the temple of God with idols? For we are the temple of the living God; just as God said, “I WILL DWELL IN THEM AND WALK AMONG THEM; AND I WILL BE THEIR GOD, AND THEY SHALL BE MY PEOPLE,”   2 Corinthians 6:16.

“Do you not know that you are a temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?”   1 Corinthians 3:16.

“There I will meet with you; and from above the mercy seat, from between the two cherubim which are upon the ark of the testimony, I will speak to you about all that I will give you in commandment for the sons of Israel,”   Exodus 25:22.

“You shall make two cherubim of gold; you shall make them of hammered work, at the two ends of the mercy seat.  Make one cherub at the one end, and one cherub at the other; of one piece with the mercy seat you shall make the cherubim at its two ends.  The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings.  They shall face one to another; the faces of the cherubim shall be turned toward the mercy seat.  You shall put the mercy seat on the top of the ark; and in the ark you shall put the covenant that I shall give you,”   (Exodus 25:18-21).

“In the inner sanctuary he made two cherubim of olivewood, each ten cubits high.  He put the cherubim in the innermost part of the house; the wings of the cherubim were spread out so that a wing of one was touching the one wall, and a wing of the other cherub was touching the other wall; their other wings toward the center of the house were touching wing to wing,”   (1 Kings 6:23,27).

“Lord of Hosts, God of Israel, who is enthroned above the cherubim, You are God — You alone — of all the kingdoms of the earth.  You made the heavens and the earth,”   Isaiah 37:16.

“Ezekiel’s Vision of God
¹Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the River Chebar, that the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.  ²On the fifth day of the month, which was in the fifth year of King Jehoiachin’s captivity, ³the word of The LORD came expressly to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans by the River Chebar; and the hand of The LORD was upon him there.
⁴Then I looked, and behold, a whirlwind was coming out of the north, a great cloud with raging fire engulfing itself; and brightness was all around it and radiating out of its midst like the color of amber, out of the midst of the fire.  ⁵Also from within it came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: they had the likeness of a man.  ⁶Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.  ⁷Their legs were straight, and the soles of their feet were like the soles of calves’ feet.  They sparkled like the color of burnished bronze.  ⁸The hands of a man were under their wings on their four sides; and each of the four had faces and wings.  ⁹Their wings touched one another.  The creatures did not turn when they went, but each one went straight forward.
¹⁰As for the likeness of their faces, each had the face of a man; each of the four had the face of a lion on the right side, each of the four had the face of an ox on the left side, and each of the four had the face of an eagle.  ¹¹Thus were their faces.  Their wings stretched upward; two wings of each one touched one another, and two covered their bodies.  ¹²And each one went straight forward; they went wherever the spirit wanted to go, and they did not turn when they went.
¹³As for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like burning coals of fire, like the appearance of torches going back and forth among the living creatures.  The fire was bright, and out of the fire went lightning.  ¹⁴And the living creatures ran back and forth, in appearance like a flash of lightning.
¹⁵Now as I looked at the living creatures, behold, a wheel was on the earth beside each living creature with its four faces.  ¹⁶The appearance of the wheels and their workings was like the color of beryl, and all four had the same likeness.  The appearance of their workings was, as it were, a wheel in the middle of a wheel.  ¹⁷When they moved, they went toward any one of four directions; they did not turn aside when they went.  ¹⁸As for their rims, they were so high they were awesome; and their rims were full of eyes, all around the four of them.  ¹⁹When the living creatures went, the wheels went beside them; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.  ²⁰Wherever the spirit wanted to go, they went, because there the spirit went; and the wheels were lifted together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.  ²¹When those went, these went; when those stood, these stood; and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up together with them, for the spirit of the living creatures was in the wheels.
²²The likeness of the firmament above the heads of the living creatures was like the color of an awesome crystal, stretched out over their heads.  ²³And under the firmament their wings spread out straight, one toward another.  Each one had two which covered one side, and each one had two which covered the other side of the body.  ²⁴When they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, like the voice of the Almighty, a tumult like the noise of an army; and when they stood still, they let down their wings.  ²⁵A voice came from above the firmament that was over their heads; whenever they stood, they let down their wings.
²⁶And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it.  ²⁷Also from the appearance of His waist and upward I saw, as it were, the color of amber with the appearance of fire all around within it; and from the appearance of His waist and downward I saw, as it were, the appearance of fire with brightness all around. ²⁸Like the appearance of a rainbow in a cloud on a rainy day, so was the appearance of the brightness all around it.  This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of The LORD,”   Ezekiel 1:1-28.

“Now the cherubim were standing on the south side of the house when the man went in; and a cloud filled the inner court.  Then the glory of The LORD rose up from the cherub to the threshold of the house; the house was filled with the cloud, and the court was full of the brightness of the glory of The LORD.  The sound of the wings of the cherubim was heard as far as the outer court, like the voice of God Almighty when he speaks.  When he commanded the man clothed in linen, “Take fire from within the wheelwork, from among the cherubim,” he went in and stood beside a wheel.  And a cherub stretched out his hand from among the cherubim to the fire that was among the cherubim, took some of it and put it into the hands of the man clothed in linen, who took it and went out.  The cherubim appeared to have the form of a human hand under their wings.  I looked, and there were four wheels beside the cherubim, one beside each cherub; and the appearance of the wheels was like gleaming beryl.  And as for their appearance, the four looked alike, something like a wheel within a wheel.  When they moved, they moved in any of the four directions without veering as they moved; but in whatever direction the front wheel faced, the others followed without veering as they moved.  Their entire body, their rims, their spokes, their wings, and the wheels – the wheels of the four of them — were full of eyes all around.  As for the wheels, they were called in my hearing “the wheelwork.”  Each one had four faces: the first face was that of the cherub, the second face was that of a human being, the third that of a lion, and the fourth that of an eagle,”   (Ezekiel 10:3-14).
