1 Kings 19:5-6 Then he(Elijah) lay down and slept under the broom tree. But as he was sleeping, an angel touched him and told him, “Get up and eat!” He looked around, and there by his head was some bread baked over hot coals, and a jar of water. He ate and drank and then lay down again. Siri can be used as an alarm in devices such as iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and HomePod.

Matthew 2:13 When they had gone, an angel of the Lord appeared to Joseph in a dream. “Get up,” he said, “take the child and his mother and escape to Egypt. Stay there until I tell you, for Herod is going to search for the child to kill him.” Siri can give us smart assistance with navigation and location. She can help us with the shortest route, traffic and road conditions, closest gas station, coffee shops and locations. The Apple Assistant is an in-built smart assistance guide, and she is just a call away! It would feel like we are...

Ecclesiastes 5:6a Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger (angel) of God that it was an error. To get information from Siri, we need to give clear instructions. If we say, “Hey Siri, call Ben,” she’ll respond by asking which Ben we mean — ‘Ben Baker’ or ‘Ben Black’? The instructions to Siri must be clear and precise for her to carry out the task given. If not, the Apple Assistant will not be able to assist us. Allegorically, Angelic Assistants are our divine Siris who carry our prayers, petitions, requests and...

Psalm 103:20 Bless the LORD, all His angels mighty in strength who carry out His word, who hearken to the voice of His command. Siri, our digital voice assistant, can make calls or send text just by following our instructions. However, those who have not voice activated Siri cannot use the Apple Assistant. They might have the latest iPhone or iPad which has the Apple Assistant built-in yet, they cannot use it. Allegorically, we have angels around us waiting to help and assist yet, if we have not voice activated their services they will not be able to assist us....

Colossians 2:14-15 Having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. In this way, He disarmed the spiritual rulers and authorities. He shamed them publicly by his victory over them on the cross. Above All Spiritual Indebtedness Spiritual indebtedness made us slaves to satan. Through the power of the cross, Jesus cancelled all our sin and spiritual indebtedness and has liberated us from the clutches of the evil one. The borrower is a slave to the lender. It was the ancient Middle Eastern custom...

Ephesians 1:21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come. Above All Principality The resurrected triumphant King Jesus is seated far above all rulers or authorities, powers or leaders. “Far” refers to a great distance beyond human visualization and imagination. Far extends over a large expanse of space that is beyond reach. The distance from the earth to planet Neptune is about 4.5 billion kilometers and rocket scientists estimate that it would take 160,704 hours, (6696 days) or 18.3 years to travel...

Romans 8:27 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. Above All Emotions Emotions are our feelings and responses to internal and external stimuli that affect the way we think, act and behave. Emotions are God given expressions to convey our thoughts and feelings. Emotions are good only until they are under control. Once emotions take control over us, we will be like rash drivers and are certain to crash. Our spirit/heart must always have control over our soul/mind. Soul/mind is the seat of our emotions. Spirit/heart is where the Holy Spirit dwells....

Genesis 26:12-13 Isaac planted crops in that land and the same year reaped a hundredfold, because the Lord blessed him. The man became rich, and his wealth continued to grow until he became very wealthy. Above All Circumstances We are above all chaos, catastrophe and climatic conditions when the Lord God is with us. We are above all circumstances and will never be knocked down by the storms of life. We will be the head; we will lead and not be dragged around by the crucible circumstance like a tail. We will face the same storms that the people of...

Peter 2:24b “By his wounds you have been healed”. Above All Sickness Jesus took all our sickness to the cross of Calvary. When Jesus was on earth, the power of the Almighty was trapped in His body. People thronged in multitudes to receive a touch from Him. Power was emanating from Him. Even those who touched the hem of His garment were healed. His presence and words brought healing. But, after the death and resurrection of Jesus, the Holy Spirit was sent to be with us on earth. Now the incredible power of God is not restricted to one place....
