Angels work harmoniously. Perfect order characterizes all their movements. The more closely we imitate the harmony and order of the angelic host, the more successful will be the efforts of these heavenly agents in our behalf. If we see no necessity for harmonious action, and are disorderly, undisciplined, and disorganized in our course of action, angels, who are thoroughly organized and move in perfect order, cannot work for us successfully. They turn away in grief, for they are not authorized to bless confusion, distraction, and disorganization. All who desire the co-operation of the heavenly messengers must work in unison with them. Those who have the unction from on high will in all their efforts encourage order, discipline, and union of action, and then the angels of God can co-operate with them. But never, never will these heavenly messengers place their endorsement upon irregularity, disorganization, and disorder. All these evils are the result of Satan’s efforts to weaken our forces, to destroy courage, and prevent successful action. {1T 649.2}

Englene virker i endrægtighed. Alle deres bestræbelser bærer præg af fuldkommen orden. Jo nøjere vi efterligner engleskarens endrægtighed og orden, desto mere frugtbringende vil disse himmelske sendebuds arbejdere for os, blive. Dersom vi ikke indser nødvendigheden af harmonisk handling og mangler orden, disciplin og organisation i vor gerning, så kan englene, der er grundigt organiserede og handler i fuldkommen orden, ikke virke for os med held. De vender sig bedrøvet bort; thi de er ikke bemyndiget til at velsigne forvirring, splittelse og uorden. Alle, som ønsker de himmelske sendebuds medvirken, må arbejde i harmoni med dem. De, som har salvelse fra det høje, vil i alle deres bestræbelser støtte orden, disciplin og enig handling og da vil Guds engle kunne samarbejde med dem. Men aldrig, aldrig vil disse (650) himmelske sendebud give deres bifald til uregelmæssighed, uorden og mangel på organisation. Alle disse onder er en følge af Satans bestræbelser for at svække vore kræfter, fratage os modet og hindre frugtbar gerning.
