CHRISTIAN SINGLES DATING
GUIDE: WORKING WITH ANGELS
SENSITIVITY TO ANGELS
As we look at the ministry of angels, we want to point
to two facts that we have to keep at the back of our mind
so that we don’t go to extremes. On one extreme are
those who don't believe in the work of angels and don't
understand how to work with them and don’t realize that
there is a way that we can co-operate with them. On the
other extreme are those who are so susceptible that they
would be immediately deceived if satan were to appear as
an angel of light. Now not every being who comes in the
light form is necessarily from God. Those who value angels
above the importance of the word of God and their
devotional prayer life may end up being deceived.
There are two warnings in the bible that we need to
take heed of. One of them is found in the book of
Galatians in chapter one Paul says here about the gospel
of Jesus Christ. Galatians 1: 8 but even if angels from
heaven preach any other gospels to you than what we have
preached to you let him be accursed. Number one bear
in mind that angels do not contradict God's word. They
cannot come and tell you something that is not in line
with the Word. And if any being or any appearances come
that are not in line with the Word, then we ought to
reject them. And in point one we realize that it must be
in line with the word of God. All visions, prophecies,
dreams, angelic appearances must be in line with the word
of God.
Secondly in Colossians 2: 18 Let no one defraud you
of your reward taking delight in false humility and
worship of angels intruding into those things which he has
not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind.
Secondly we do not worship angels and we do not give them
the glorification that is due to Jesus Christ and to God
the Father. We just need to give the proper respect that
we need to. We do not give them praise and worship at all.
That is the other extreme that needs to be avoided. Bear
in mind these two points as we look at the ministry of
angels.
