220: Angels Need Direction | Bralynn Newby

Spirit-Centered Business™ - A podcast by Bralynn Newby - Fridays

I’m going solo in this episode because there’s a lot of confusion, misinformation and even fear around working with angels as a Christian.  But mostly there’s just a lack of awareness of these helpers God has provided to us as the heirs of salvation, as Hebrews 1:14 tells us.As with anything I do or teach, we do NOTHING without eyes on Jesus, and under His guidance.  I do NOT endorse engaging any spiritual beings outside of those the Lord has specifically assigned to you or introduced to you.  And, of course, relationship with the Godhead is the first thing we seek…even though we’re invited to seek first His kingdom, I believe that means first AFTER seeking God himself.In Ephesians 3:10 it says that “through the church the manifold wisdom of God might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places.”I don’t go into this in the episode, but essentially that means that spiritual beings may not already know all the multifaceted wisdom of God, and his plan is for us—the church—to reveal it to them.In fact, 1 Peter 1:12 says that angels long to peer into the affairs of men.  I love Romans 8:19 in the Passion Translation: “The entire universe is standing on tiptoe, yearning to see the unveiling of God’s glorious sons and daughters!”Also, keep in mind that angels aren’t used to working with us from the heavenly realms because most Christians have not taken their position as “seated in heavenly places with Christ” seriously.  From the encounters I’ve had either personally or with my clients, both angels and the people in white from the cloud of witnesses are very happy and excited to work with us.  It’s just a new experience on both sides.  Fun times we live in!!That said, here are the juicy bits…HIGHLIGHTS:Partnering with Heaven in Business: Your business is a Kingdom venture, and Heaven is ready to co-labor with you. But like any partnership, relationship comes first, and then clear agreements—such as the Declaration of Trade, your covenant with Heaven.Angels Need Clarity Too: Unlike God, angels aren’t omniscient. They need clear instructions, just like earthly employees. Although they are awe inspiring and incredibly knowledgeable and resourceful, don't assume they "just know" what you want—lay it all out.Operations Manual in Heaven: Just as businesses have SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures), your business needs one in the spirit realm too. It really helps the angels out when goals and strategies have been documented.Clearly Identify Your Ideal Clients: If you don’t define the people you really want to play in the sandbox with and can serve well in your heavenly business plan, angels won’t know who to bring. Be specific about your Kingdom assignment and who you're called to serve.Angels Co-Labor with You, Not Instead of You: They won’t replace your hustle, but they orchestrate divine connections while you do the footwork. Kingdom business is about faith and action.Time Chunking is a Spiritual Strategy: Time management isn’t just practical—it aligns you with Heaven’s flow. Writing time-blocking strategies into your heavenly operations manual (and sticking to them in your daily routine) helps your angelic team.Your Business has a Destiny: Before you ever had a business idea, Heaven already had a blueprint for it. You’re not just making things up—you’re walking out a divine plan. Be sure to receive it and unpack it with Holy Spirit.Scripture is a Business Growth Strategy: Like Psalm 103:20 says, angels move when you speak out God's Word over your business. Use personalized scripture as declarations to activate Heaven.A Cloud of Witnesses Are Cheering You On: You’re not just building alone. Saints from generations past are invested in your success because your business is...
