Gabriel's Approach by PCHC(m): 7:55am On Oct 12, 2023
*2* Then the angel Gabriel went down by God's order to the garden, and told the Cherub as God had commanded him.

*2* In accordance with God's orders, the angel Gabriel descended to the garden and relayed the message to the cherub as instructed.


Gabriel descended to the Garden, but did not jump fences into the Garden. The Garden was made in such a way that one had to walk into it or use the entrance Doors (Gates). Though descend to the Garden was used here, it's not as if the open roof of the garden was easily an entry way into the Garden's court. No one could jump fences into the Garden of God, but must use the entrance Door. Gabriel did as God taught him to do, and thus he spoke to the Cherub. And when you follow God's order as examplified, you will not just be bearing the order but the order will also be bearing and empowering you as you go and speak as well.

You already know messengers that come to tell people what God said to those people, and but here is a messenger that came to tell the Lord God said commanded or sent him. He's not just messenger that comes to tell you God sent him to you, but has become a messenger that comes to tell you God sent him beyond you or through you: For his message does not end with you, but just passes through you and goes on after leaving you to other points and acts before fulfilling it's mission/purpose.

(SPIRITUAL) MANNER OF APPROACH

The choice thing I should learn and teach from this verse is the "Truest Manner of Approach;" and that "Manner of Approach" also connects with "Manner of Advance." How you advance connects with how you approach.

I tried looking up humans' ideas and understanding of "Manner of Approach" and I got these things interalia:

When approaching someone, it's important to be friendly, polite, and considerate. Here are some tips for a good manner of approach: (1). Smile: (2). Use appropriate body language: Stand or sit up straight, maintain eye contact, and use open and relaxed body language to show that you are approachable and interested in the conversation. (3). Introduce yourself: Start by introducing yourself with a friendly greeting. (4). Be clear and concise: Get to the point quickly and express yourself clearly. Avoid rambling or going off on tangents. (5). Use polite and respectful language: Choose your words carefully and be mindful of your tone. Use polite phrases like "please" and "thank you" to show respect. (6). Listen actively: Pay attention to what the other person is saying and show genuine interest. Respond appropriately and ask follow-up questions to keep the conversation flowing. (7). Be mindful of personal space: Respect the other person's personal space and maintain an appropriate distance. Avoid invading their personal bubble. (cool. Show empathy and understanding: Be empathetic and understanding towards the other person's feelings and perspectives. Avoid being judgmental or dismissive. (9). Avoid interrupting: Give the other person a chance to speak and avoid interrupting them. Wait for them to finish before sharing your own thoughts or opinions. (10). Be patient and flexible: If the other person seems busy or not interested in engaging, be polite and understanding. Respect their boundaries and be flexible in adjusting your approach if needed. Remember, everyone is different, so adjust your approach based on the specific situation and individual you're interacting with.

Now all those are society's way of teaching you "Manner of Approach" which is centered on how the person you are approaching or interacting with is feeling or would feel, especially to avoid getting the person (people) feeling hurt, depressed, angry or uncomfortable. That's how men's philosophy thinks and teaches.

But do you think angels or spiritual beings observe these humans' definition for manner of approach? Hollywood movies and social media may project angels, elves or fairies, that have these human kind of mannerism. But the true Angels and Hosts of God have manners of approach that are different from those in human ways. Do you think fearful angels, thunders, etc, would approach you smiling or doing those things listed among humans' manner of approach? Behold, there are spiritual beings that are violent in their approach, and yet even their violence or forceful approach is better manner of approach than humans' idea of manner of approach.

Therefore I tell you a different "Manner of Approach" that's not based on the feelings and views (impressions) on/in the person(s) you are approaching or interacting with, but rather based on what God said or ordered you to do and say to whomever you approach.

You see angel Gabriel descended to the Garden following God's order, and still following God's instruction he told the Cherub the exact word God put in his mouth to say. That is the Truest Manner of Approach and also the Truest Manner of Advance: Going (advancing) to where God told you to go, in the way or manner God told you to go, and doing or saying what God said you should do and say in the manner God told you to do and say them.

Whereas those ten listed humans' definition of Manner of Approach are useful in social relationship and interaction, they are not spiritual "Manner of Approach:" You may have all those ten items listed above as manner of approach, and still not bear the fruit of the Spirit (Love, Faith, Patience, Kindness, Gentleness, Peace, Long-suffering etc). It's called the Fruit of the Spirit, meaning you must be walking in and by the Spirit to bear them. They are not just "Virtues" but "Fruit of the Spirit." Virtues of Character are good and praised in the Old Testament, but walking with God is to bear Fruit of the Spirit of God, not just bearing fruits (virtues) of your own good character or home-training.

You bear the Fruit of God's Spirit or God's Word by fully advancing or approaching people and things by every word of God or move of the Spirit of God. That's the greatest Manner of Approach: The Fruits of the Spirit of God, not the fruits (virtues) or evidence of good and well trained character/habits. It should rather reflect the Will of the Spirit of God as the fruit of the Spirit, than reflect manners of humans' comfortability, pleasantness, acceptability and humanity.

Thus, where Gabriel went and what Gabriel said were as it is in heaven, not according to the order of angels but, according to the order of God. There is the order of angels which defines protocols and hierarchies among them. But the order of God is supreme over all orders including those of cherubs, angels, stars, and all existing ordinances. Even though the order of angels was ordained by God as well, obeying God's last order is more required than obeying God's previous or preceding order. Obey God's last order first.
