Many years ago I heard a message about how the angels of God are there to do our bidding. God didn’t leave us powerless.

Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth to serve, for the sake of those who are to obtain salvation (Heirs of Salvation)? (Hebrews 1:14)

Angels Are Ministering Spirits So, I started to put some things together in my head. If the angels are there to serve us, God’s own people, through salvation in Jesus, then what is stopping me from calling on their services when I need them?

Can you answer that question?

I began to formulate scriptures to encourage my faith to activate this benefit to those of us who are heirs to the Kingdom of God. We are all heirs, but not everyone believes that or accepts it. But if you are an heir to eternity with God then you are a candidate!!

God has revealed to us through the Holy Spirit, for the Spirit searches everything, even the depths of God. (I Corinthians 2:10)
And He who searches the hearts of men knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. (Romans 8:27)
For there is nothing hid, except to be made manifest, nor is anything secret except to come to light. (Mark 4:22)

When you pray the word of God, you activate your faith, for you know you are praying according to His perfect will and you are hearing yourself say it…it is a release of your faith. His word will always accomplish what He wants to accomplish and will never return to Him without performing what your faith is releasing.

So, what prevents us from using this knowledge when we have lost something we need to find. Even if it’s just our keys? He cares about every tiny detail of our life. He WANTS to be involved and to be asked. We have not because we ask not He tells us in His word.

These scriptures can also be used to reveal hidden things in a relationship or a person’s life that needs to be uncovered.

And it works! As a matter of fact it works so well that I would recommend you NOT pray these scriptures unless you are prepared for what you might find out. I have shared this truth with some who just thought they wanted to see truth, but when it was revealed to them, they ignored it because they wanted their way and not Gods way.

The choice is yours.

My husband and I use this prayer all the time…even to find our keys that we just had with us. I can even reveal that at times I KNOW I looked in a certain place a dozen times…then I stopped and prayed, felt this nudge to look again, and there the thing would be that I was looking for.

I have witnessed rings found in snow drifts, that would have been impossible, toxic relationships stopped when hidden things came out that were not seen before, contact lens that were dropped suddenly start sparkling and clearly seen, and lost money reappear.

My purse was stolen in Wal-Mart one day, right out of the cart when I turned my back. We raced through the store and locked the doors and the employees checked every bag leaving the store, to no avail. The Police were summoned and came to me to take a report. While I waited I prayed this prayer of finding things. While talking to the Officer he told me that I might as well forget about finding it and cancel all my cards…I did cancel the cards, but believed it would come back to me.

I asked the officer if he believed in angels. He said that he did, as a matter of fact. I then told him that I believed the angels would bring the purse back to me. He smiled and said, would you promise me you will call me at the station, (here’s my name), and let me know if this happens. I said I most certainly would.

I kept praying the prayer to keep my faith out there.

One week later I got a call from the store. They had found my purse hanging in the purse section as if for sale. It had everything in it with nothing missing.

Coincidence? I think not!

I called the officer that day. When I told him my purse was found inside the store, hanging out in plain sight, with nothing missing, he started laughing and called out to all his buddies to tell them the story.

This prayer is so effective I have shared it with everyone I know and have had wonderful stories returned to me of finding priceless treasures long ago lost. It is so fun to rejoice with them.

And to see their faith elevated.

And the angels smile.

So, here is the prayer I put together. Now, this is not a formula, or a religion. It is simply a Word prayer I put together of the above scriptures I shared with you. It is a help to get you started in exercising your faith in this area. You can use it anyway you wish or write your own to pray or just use your memory of the scriptures.

I personally have used this prayer for years. Here it is:

“Father, I know there is nothing hidden, except to be revealed and there is nothing kept secret except it be make known. So, I ask you now, in the name of Jesus, that Your Holy Spirit would search diligently, explore and examine every area, and bring every hidden thing into the light (insert here the name of the person or thing). I ask that You would release the ministering spirits (angels) who are there to do the bidding of the heirs of salvation, of which I am one, to go forth, find, and bring that hidden ____________back to me. (or bring every hidden thing to light with this person). I trust that wherever it is you will cause me to either remember, or have it materialize to my sight. I trust You to bring it to me today. Amen!!”
