"And when Paul had gathered a bundle of sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand." - Acts 28:3.
Here we see that Paul was on assignment, prior to the incident above, in Acts 27:23-25 Paul said "For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve, Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar:..." verse 25 Paul said "... for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me."
The Apostle Paul was so confident about God's word of him appearing before Caesar; that when the viper attacked him, he was too certain he wouldn't be hurt.
When the viper fastened on Paul hand, Acts 28:5 said "... He shook of the beast into the fire, and felt no harm." there was no record that the snake ran out of the fire again, meaning it died completely on Paul's hand. When one is on His assignment he cannot be the prey, rather the predator.
I know one may say; but, it was the Angel that spoke to Paul, if an angel appear to me today, I will believe and have the Paul kind of faith, then I won't be afraid.
I will advise that you shouldn't seek to have encounters with angels before you believe what God is saying; because in 2 Cor. 11:14 it says "And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light." the Holy Bible is now the most authentic way God speaks to us, in 2 Peter 1:19 says "We have also a more sure word of prophecy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the day dawn, and the day star arise in your hearts:" you see, by constant meditation on the Word, light/understanding/revelation/insight will arise telling you the way to go.
Once, you get clear direction on what to do and where to go, His divine protection follows you, to keep and guide you.
Spend time on His Word, for in His word is life, protection, provision, prosperity and guidance. 1 Thess. 2:13 "For this cause also thank we God without ceasing, because, when ye received the word of God which ye heard of us, ye received it not as the word of men, but as it is in truth, the word of God, which effectually worketh also in you that believe." believe the Word.
The question is; What has He ask you to do, are you on it?
If you are not, you will be vulnerable.
Realign today and be blessed.
