Do Christians have the authority to command angels?

People today are fascinated by the concept and study of angels, called “angelology.” Angels are depicted in everything from jewellery and Christmas decorations to movies and television programs. Many Christians also believe they have the authority to command angels to do their bidding, while others believe they can command angels (and even demons) in the name of Jesus.…That is a false teaching made up by those who want to claim some great power over the spirit world that they do not have.…There are no instances in Scripture where humans were able to give angels commands, either in their own name or in Jesus’ name.

There are no passages where man has control over the work of the angels. We do know that they are beings of higher rank, since Jesus had to make Himself “lower than the angels” in order to be born and suffer as a man

Hebrews 2:7-9…7 Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels… and crowned them with glory and honour.[a] 8 You gave them authority over all things."[b] …Now when it says "all things," it means nothing is left out. But we have not yet seen all things put under their authority. 9 What we do see is Jesus, who was given a position "a little lower than the angels"; and because he suffered death for us, he is now "crowned with glory and honor." Yes, by God's grace, Jesus tasted death for everyone.

Psalm 8:4-5

4 what are mere mortals that you should think about them,… human beings that you should care for them? (Hebrew what is man that you should think of him, / the son of man that you should care for him?)…5 Yet you made them only a little lower than God (Or Yet you made them only a little lower than the angels; Hebrew reads Yet you made him [i.e., man] a little lower than Elohim) and crowned them (Hebrew him [i.e., man]) with glory and honor.

As believers we do not have control over the angels.

The teaching that believers have control over angels is false. The following biblical principles show that angels do not obey the commands of men:……├ö├ç├│ Moses spoke of when the children of Israel

Numbers 20:16

16 But when we cried out to the Lord, he heard us and sent an angel who brought us out of Egypt. Now we are camped at Kadesh, a town on the border of your land.

The Israelites did not command an angel to come to them.

They appealed to God, under whose command the angels function.…├ö├ç├│ Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused to bow down to Nebuchadnezzar’s image not knowing what God would do

Daniel 3:17-18

17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty. 18 But even if he doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up."

God in His mercy “sent his angel and rescued his servants!”

Daniel 3:28

28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, "Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him. They defied the king's command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God.

The three Hebrews did not summon the angel of the Lord.

God sent him. God later “sent his angel” to deliver Daniel from the mouths of the lions in their den

Daniel 6:22

22 My God sent his angel to shut the lions' mouths so that they would not hurt me, for I have been found innocent in his sight. And I have not wronged you, Your Majesty."

ÔÇó The church in Jerusalem prayed for Peter when he was in prison

Acts 12:5

5 But while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.

When Peter was delivered, he testified,

Acts 12:11

11 Peter finally came to his senses. "It's really true!" he said. "The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders[a] had planned to do to me!"

The Christians praying for Peter were so surprised when he came to their door that they almost did not let him in. Certainly, they had not commanded any angel to rescue him.……Angels are called God’s “holy angels,” who do His bidding, not ours

Matthew 25:31

31 "But when the Son of Man[a] comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit upon his glorious throne.

Revelation 14:10

10 must drink the wine of God's anger. It has been poured full strength into God's cup of wrath. And they will be tormented with fire and burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the Lamb.

As mere humans, we do not have the right, much less the authority, to command these holy ministers of God Almighty? The answer: we cannot
