Notice that the verse says that angels are “heeding the voice of His word.” Now, who gives voice to God’s Word? We do! Each time we speak God’s Word, we give voice to His Word. And when angels hear His Word given voice, they respond!
The Bible says that at the end of Daniel’s three weeks of fasting and praying for an answer from God, the angel Gabriel appeared to Daniel and said to him, “I have come because of your words” (Daniel 10:12).
So when angels hear you saying, “Thank You, Father, no evil shall befall me nor shall any plague come near my dwelling” (see Psalm 91:10), they will come to your aid because you are giving voice to God’s Word. Even if you cannot quote the verse perfectly, they can still come to your rescue.
This was what happened to a lady in the United States. While walking home after an evening church service, she was attacked from behind by a man and dragged toward a dark corner in an alley. In that frantic state, she remembered only one word from that evening’s sermon. So she shouted, “Feathers! Feathers!” Her attacker released her and fled!
Feathers? What did she mean? She was actually referring to Psalm 91:4—“He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge.” In that state of panic, she remembered only one word—“feathers,” and it was enough to cause her attacker to flee. You see, it is not your ability to quote an entire verse perfectly that releases God’s power, but faith in His Word and His love for you. And one word from Him is enough to send your enemies scurrying away.
However, if you know God’s Word by heart but refuse to proclaim it, the power of His Word cannot be released. The Bible does not say that angels heed His Word. No, it says that “His angels, who excel in strength, who do His word, heeding the voice of His word.” So beloved, give voice to God’s Word and see His angels respond. His angels are activated for your benefit when you speak His Word!

It's great to voice God's words. To read and know and then recite the Bible is a wonderful thing. God's word gives life. It was by God's word that the entire world came into existence. God's word is powerful. Jesus is God's word made manifest. Jesus is God's word incarnate. The Bible - God's word says that "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him. Without Him not anything was made that has been made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of the men". God's word is Jesus and Jesus is your connection to God, the Father. When God sent His Son to come and pay our sin debt, He gave us all of Himself. God so loved us that He gave it all to save us from His justice. The penalty for sin is death and Jesus died in our place. Today, understand and recite God's word. Know that it is all about Jesus and that He is the light of men. Know that through Him all things were made and all of us are redeemed back to life, a new and beautiful life. A life that depends on Him and will continue forever.
