Are the Angels working with the Preaching Work today? How can we know that? Why can you be part of this work?

Angelic Help

 Do angels help Jehovah’s present-day servants? Yes, they do. Granted, today they do not appear visibly in order to deliver true worshipers from danger. Even in Bible times, angels only rarely intervened in such a way. Most of what they did was invisible to human eyes, as is the case today. Nonetheless, servants of God who realized that the angels were there to support them found such knowledge very encouraging. (2 Kings 6:14-17) "Immediately he sent horses and war chariots and a heavy military force there; and they proceeded to come by night and close in upon the city.

15 When the minister of the man of the [true] God rose early to get up, and went out, why, there a military force was surrounding the city with horses and war chariots. At once his attendant said to him: “Alas, my master!  What shall we do?” 16 But he said: “Do not be afraid, for there are more who are with us than those who are with them.” 17 And E·li′sha began to pray and say: “O Jehovah, open his eyes, please, that he may see.” Immediately Jehovah opened the attendant’s eyes, so that he saw; and, look! the mountainous region was full of horses and war chariots of fire all around E·li′sha."  We have good reason to feel similarly.

Jehovah’s angels are particularly interested in a special work that involves us. What work is that? We can find the answer at Revelation 14:6: “I saw another angel flying in midheaven, and he had everlasting good news to declare as glad tidings to those who dwell on the earth, and to every nation and tribe and tongue and people.” This “everlasting good news” is clearly linked with the “good news of the kingdom,” which, as Jesus foretold, “will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations” before the end of this system of things. (Matthew 24:14) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations,  baptizing  them in the name of the Father  and of the Son  and of the holy spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded YOU.  And, look! I am with YOU all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” (Matthew 28:19,20)

Of course, the angels are not preaching directly. Jesus gave humans this weighty commission.  Is it not good to know that as we fulfill that commission, we have help from holy angels, wise and powerful spirit creatures?

There is considerable evidence of angelic support for our work. For example, we often hear that in the course of their ministry, Jehovah’s Witnesses come across a person who had only recently prayed to God for help in finding the truth. Such experiences occur far too often to be dismissed as mere coincidences. As a result of such angelic help, more and more people are learning to do as the “angel flying in midheaven” proclaimed: “Fear God and give him glory.”—Revelation 14:7.

Do you long to have the support of Jehovah’s mighty angels? Then do all you can to be absorbed in your ministry. (1 Corinthians 15:58)  "Consequently, my beloved brothers, become steadfast, unmovable, always having plenty to do in the work of the Lord, knowing that YOUR labor is not in vain in connection with [the] Lord." As we freely give of ourselves in this special assignment from Jehovah, we can count on the help of his angels.

Help From the Chief of the Angels

???

Jehovah also provides us with another type of angelic help. Revelation 10:1 describes an awesome “strong angel” whose “face was as the sun.” This visionary angel evidently pictures the glorified Jesus Christ in heavenly power. (Revelation 1:13, 16) Is Jesus really an angel? In a sense, yes, for he is an archangel. (1 Thessalonians 4:16) "because the Lord himself will descend from heaven  with a commanding call, with an archangel’s  voice and with God’s trumpet,  and those who are dead in union with Christ will rise first."  Is Jesus an archangel? That word means “principal angel,” or “chief angel.” Jesus is the mightiest of all of Jehovah’s spirit sons. Jehovah has put him in command of all His angelic armies. This archangel is a powerful source of help indeed. 

The Help of the Holy Spirit

???

 Jesus promised: “I will request the Father and he will give you another helper to be with you forever, the spirit of the truth, which the world cannot receive.” (John 14:16, 17) This “spirit of the truth,” or holy spirit, is not a person but a force—Jehovah’s own active force. It is powerful beyond measure. It is the force that Jehovah used in creating the universe, in performing spectacular miracles, and in providing visionary revelations of his will. Yes, that Holy Spirit, the Angels and Christ Jesus will help us to find many ones still out there searching for the Truth. Be part of the preaching of the Good News of God's Kingdom and you will be part of that message that is heaven sent to all the earth!
