The Sword of Gilead & The Book of Angels

newly founded evangelistic organisation, Flame
Ministries International and the St. Mary’s
Cathedral Praise Meeting, when the Lord God
spoke audibly to me saying, “I am sending you an
Avenging Angel.” This not only took me by
surprise, but also scared me a little wondering
what I had done wrong, and yet somehow I knew
in my spirit that the words I had heard were real.
As I walked away from that area of my kitchen,
the voice spoke again saying, “He is The Sword of
Gilead.”
Again surprised by this heavenly voice,
the title of the angel sounded familiar - However,
not easily accepting such revelations, I shared this
with my fellow directors of the time who both
acknowledged that the title sounded familiar to
them too and so further investigation began.
Searching in the Bible, I found no reference
to an angel with that name or title. Neither did I
find it among those angelic names accepted by the
Church in the apocryphal books or ancient
Hebrew angelology.
In addition, I knew that any name given to
an angel expresses its work and God’s nature and
character in its relation to God. In spite of this, the
message and the title would not leave my mind - I
knew of the Balm of Gilead, and so that part did not
bother me and so I embarked on a deeper research
and began the discerning process. 1John 4: 1,
“Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits
