Greetings, hopeismercy,
I believe you are laying yourself open unnecessarily, here, if how you have expressed yourself is what you mean.
What I mean is, that we should be asking what we believe God's will is, in the name of Jesus (Perhaps this is what you mean by 'I apply'.) and He or the Father (who are One) will do it. There is nowhere we are instructed to call upon angels. I believe they are directed by the Lord Himself. He knows how to accomplish His work.
I mention this because I've heard of doctrines of angels, and even though angels exist and are a powerful army at God's command, it [u]is[/u] only [u]He[/u] who commands them on their missions.
[color=6633FF]John 14:13
And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
John 14:14
If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do [i]it[/i].
John 15:7
If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you.
John 15:16
Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and [i]that[/i] your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Colossians 2
18 [u]Let no man beguile you[/u] of your reward in a voluntary humility and worshipping of angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind,
19 And [u]not holding the Head[/u], from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
Ephesians 4
7 But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ.
8 Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, [u]he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men[/u].
12 For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:
13 Till we all come in the unity of the faith, [u]and of the knowledge of [b]the Son of God[/b][/u], unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:
14 That we [henceforth] be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, [i]and[/i] cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, [i]even[/i] Christ:
16 From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.[/color]
I hear your heart cry for the salvation of souls, who will be added to the body of Christ, and know that as you focus on Him alone, such as should be added to the church, will be added, and you will know the power of His love working in your evangelism.
It is the Holy Spirit who applies the blood to the repentant heart. We all need our minds renewed, but this is a work of the Spirit, after new birth. It is the word of truth preached in its fulness, which will open minds and hearts to their need for a Saviour, but they have to take that step for themselves, and make Him their own.
