Read this after having just read their book on dreams and visions. I'm not one who attends a Charismatic Church, nor have I ever, and nor do I have any desire to do so. I consider myself an evangelical and a man of the Word (i.e. the Bible). Yet I am one who has had supernatural encounters with God since I was saved. I've never sought supernatural experiences. I've only sought Jesus and the Father through prayer and the scriptures. In recent years God-given visions and dreams and other prophetic-like experiences have increased in my life. So here I am, reading about such things in a book like this. The authors of this book show a maturity and wisdom and right handling of scripture which is extremely rare among Charismatics. They give out warnings and instruction. However, I had unease when I came to one of their chapters about "partnering with angels." I've heard Charismatics on the Internet use this phrase and it makes me cringe. We are not to focus on angels. A number of us Christians have encountered angels, but they always draw our attention to Jesus, to God the Father, and never to themselves. Thankfully the authors explain their intention of the phrase "partnering with angels" only as decreeing God's words which will enable angels assigned to us to carry out God's works. It actually sounds similar to declaring aloud God's scriptures, His promises, which is what evangelicals are taught to do, and expecting God to work things out as He wills (which we know may involve the use of angels although we don't necessarily say it). The lingo of "partnering with angels" is misleading and unwise in my opinion, and has caused some Charismatics to run with it and alter the meaning. It also causes people to "look for" angels and focus on them which we are not to do. The authors know such foolish behavior already exists which makes me wonder why they still chose this misleading phrase. Despite all that, there is an extensive appendix of metaphors & symbolic imagery often found in God-given dreams and visions. This appendix is intended to be a resource for those who receive such visions and dreams. Everybody in the world can dream, and not all dreams are from God; and even Satan can create visions (see Luke 4:5). So if you know for certain God is communicating to you in visions or dreams, or through the natural world--and this is all secondary to Him speaking to you through scripture--then this book may be of value to you.
