With any and all things that have to do with Celestiology, I believe that there is a certain process or set of laws we must follow that don't apply to us unless we choose to be citizens of the messianic kingdom. This set of laws is expressed by Jesus from Matthew 5-8, and throughout the gospels. Why do we call it messianic law? Because the authority of the Messiah anointing that Jesus walked in gave him the priesthood to not just fulfill a law, but renew and add on top of the old law.
It's a shame to me that so many people read the sermon on the mount and express "oh that's just not possible." I look at it and say "this isn't even perfection. This is holiness, yes, but not completeness." However, I know that I fall short of many of these commands especially when I'm not walking by the Holy Spirit. This is the law that we have chosen to live under. This is the law of Heaven expressed in such a way that we can look at it and say "God I can for sure not do this, will you help me?" To me, if you don't have the Holy Spirit, you can try. Just as the Levites and Priests did you can actually succeed by simply memorizing the commands and constantly checking on whether or not you are following them well.
So what does this have to do with discpling angels? Well, I believe that since we live in the righteousness of YHWH, we must be willing to see ourselves through the processes of the law with which He established. By doing as such our authority begins to grow by way of living wholly with God. As I said before if you allow yourself to be led by the Spirit, eventually every point of the messianic law will be established in you and your vessel. To that point, however, we must realize that as we continue in our weakness, and in our elementary beliefs of the gospel, the authority with which we are meant to walk will likely just be handed and doubled in someone else. However, we can all choose whether to accept such authority with the realization that it also implies we have a great responsibility. We have a responsibility to disciple nations, and we also have a responsibility to Love God with all of our Heart Mind and Soul. The revelation that comes on top of that is secondary and an addon, but addons are not inherently bad. In fact, almost all of them are Holy and true.
Now, if there are specific things happening in the supernatural that we get the revelation of we must be willing to both use the Word of God against the beings that are fighting the law. Take, for instance, Enoch. The Angels asked him to make sacrifices on behalf of them. Of course, we know that there is no salvation plan for these Angels, but other than an evil desire to distract Enoch from pronouncing judgment on them, what could they have possibly wanted? They could have wanted to be corrected, to see the sons of God fulfilled, or even to see the fullness of what Enoch was walking in. What did Enoch do? He discipled them, knowing God well enough that he had read books in heaven about such angels, he commanded them to adhere to God's law. To be righteous, and to work in tandem with the Lord, not against. This is what I believe we are called to do, to walk righteously so that even we may be "taken up" with the Lord.
