About
I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ANGELS?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ANGELS?
I ASKED THE QUESTION IN ONE OF MY MESSAGES, "DO YOU BELIEVED IN ANGELS?" WELL, I GOT A LOT OF DIFFERENT RESPONSES I DIDN'T REALLY EXPECT. EVIDENTLY I DIDN'T EXPLAIN IT GOOD ENOUGH AS THE RESPONSES CAME FROM A LOT OF PEOPLE. WELL, I AM GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN IT A LITTLE BETTER USING GOD'S WORD ON EVERYTHING.
ANGELS DO EXIST. IN HEBREWS 1:13-14, PAUL IS TEACHING THE JEWS AND SHOWING THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN JESUS AND ANGELS. HE ANSWERS THE QUESTION WHEN HE STATED "But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?" WE CHRISTIANS ARE THE HEIRS OF SALVATION SO WE ALL HAVE ANGELS WATCHING OVER US.
DO YOU BELIEVE SATAN BELIEVES IN ANGELS? HE KNOWS THE SCRIPTURES AND SO HE CERTAINLY KNOWS ABOUT ANGEL. WITH HIM KNOWING THE BIBLE IS ONE REASON I WRITE SO MUCH ABOUT KNOWING THE WORD OF GOD. SATAN IS A DECEIVER AND WILL DECEIVE YOU THROUGH THE WORD IF YOU ARE NOT CAREFUL. HE TRIED TO DO THAT TO JESUS. NEED PROOF THAT HE KNOWS THE BIBLE? LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN MATTHEW 4:6, WHEN SATAN WAS TRYING TO DECEIVE JESUS. IT SAYS "If thou be the Son of God, cast thyself down: for it is written, He shall give his angels charge concerning thee: and in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any time thou dash thy foot against a stone." HE WAS QUOTING PSALMS 91:11-12.
GOD USES ANGELS IN MANY WAYS. WHEN WE TALK ABOUT NEW BORN-AGAIN CHRISTIANS, WE SPEAK OF THEM AS BABIES IN CHRIST. JESUS USES "LITTLE ONES" IN THE SAME WAY AND HE HAS SPECIAL ANGELS TO WATCH OVER THEM. HE GIVES A WARNING IN MATTHEW 18:10 WHERE HE SAYS "Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven."
WE ALSO HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT SATAN IS NOT OMNIPRESENT LIKE GOD IS BUT HE HAS HIS ANGELS, OR DEMONS, AND THEY ARE JUST AS DECEPTIVE AS HE IS. KNOWING THE WORD OF GOD AND BEING FILLED WITH HOLY SPIRIT WILL GIVE US THE POWER TO KNOW THEM SO WE CAN REBUKE THEM. THE BIBLE SAYS TO RESIST THE DEVIL AND HE WILL FLEE FROM US. WHEN WE RESIST SATAN, WE ARE ALSO RESISTING HIS ANGELS.
HAVE YOU HAD SOMEONE YOU DIDN'T KNOW DO SOMETHING FOR YOU THAT REALLY NEEDED TO BE DONE. I KNOW YOU PROBABLY THANKED THEM AND THOUGHT "WHAT A NICE PERSON THAT WAS". LOOK AT WHAT HEBREWS 13:2 SAYS AND THINK ABOUT THIS THE NEXT TIME THAT HAPPENS. "Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares." COULD THAT HAVE BEEN ONE OF YOUR ANGELS?
GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
