God Is Driving Out Your Enemies One by One

Conquest of the Land
20"Behold, I am going to send an angel before you to guard you along the way and to bring you into the place which I have prepared.
21"Be on your guard before him and obey his voice; do not be rebellious toward him, for he will not pardon your transgression, since My name is in him.
22"But if you truly obey his voice and do all that I say, then I will be an enemy to your enemies and an adversary to your adversaries.
23"For My angel will go before you and bring you in to the land of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Canaanites, the Hivites and the Jebusites; and I will completely destroy them.
24"You shall not worship their gods, nor serve them, nor do according to their deeds; but you shall utterly overthrow them and break their sacred pillars in pieces.
25"But you shall serve the LORD your God, and He will bless your bread and your water; and I will remove sickness from your midst.
26"There shall be no one miscarrying or barren in your land; I will fulfill the number of your days.
27"I will send My terror ahead of you, and throw into confusion all the people among whom you come, and I will make all your enemies turn their backs to you.
28"I will send hornets ahead of you so that they will drive out the Hivites, the Canaanites, and the Hittites before you.
29"I will not drive them out before you in a single year, that the land may not become desolate and the beasts of the field become too numerous for you.
30"I will drive them out before you little by little, until you become fruitful and take possession of the land.
31"I will fix your boundary from the Red Sea to the sea of the Philistines, and from the wilderness to the River Euphrates; for I will deliver the inhabitants of the land into your hand, and you will drive them out before you.
32"You shall make no covenant with them or with their gods.
33"They shall not live in your land, because they will make you sin against Me; for if you serve their gods, it will surely be a snare to you." (Exodus 23
)

This angel may be in the form of a female. Just be sensitive to the Spirit so that you don't miss your blessing from God. Remember angels are neither male nor female. When they come in human form which we are used to so that we do not run away from them, they may appear as men or women. Many times the Bible has recorded them as men. And many times people have seen women and men they have never seen before who have helped them in times of trouble and danger.
mal'ach (mal'achim) plural in Hebrew (מלאך)
means “messenger,” especially the envoy of a leader or king who communicates the king's wishes and represents the king. God is our King so He sends messengers to us in a form that will not bring fear to us, but whic hwe embrace, for God is Love, full of grace and mercy.
