Demons and angels

God created angels in the first place but Lucifer the leader of the angels and a powerful archangel chose to rebel and led 1/3 of the angels away from God. There was a great war in heaven and Lucifer now called Satan is banished out of the third heaven and exiled to the second heaven. Third heaven is where God is but the second heaven is the cosmos and universe that we are under, so satan is here to torment us and lead us astray. He could still access God's throne in OT times but after Christ Jesus was risen, he no longer had access but he came down to earth together with his demons to attack Christ's followers and the Jews, God's people. But Jesus is here in His Holy Spirit among believers and He raises a standard against the gates of hell and they cannot prevail. The 2/3 of angels left are also here to help the believers. They also act as messengers for God. So there are more with us than those who are against us. Since the Holy Spirit of Christ is in believers, so He who is in us is greater that he(satan) who is in the world. Do not love the world for what profit does a man get if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul? Demons and angels are real and there is war in heaven right now, albeit second heaven. Demons are still trying to lure people away from God and cause temptations. But God is drawing all men to Himself thru Jesus. Many psychics who follow so-called "good" spirits are actually following evil demons and spirits. Only God's Holy Spirit is good and holy. The rest are all deceivers leading people to hell. I pray all will come to faith in Jesus and be filled with His Holy Spirit and not listen to demons or be blinded by them. I pray in Jesus name unbelievers'eyes will be opened to the supernatural happening and see that Christ is true and the only Savior for all. God is spirit and we can only worship Him in spirit. We need to be born again spiritually to enter heaven. This can be achieved by believing in Jesus as the Messiah and Saviour and making Him Lord of one's life and repenting of our sins. Come to Jesus. Now is the day of salvation. Why wait?

In the Shadow of His Wings

"He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart."

An article in National Geographic several years ago provided a penetrating picture of God's wings. After a forest fire in Yellowstone National Park, forest rangers began their trek up a mountain to assess the inferno's damage.

One ranger found a bird literally petrified in ashes, perched statuesquely on the ground at the base of a tree. Somewhat sickened by the eerie sight, he knocked over the bird with a stick.

When he struck it, three tiny chicks scurried from under their dead mother's wings. The loving mother, keenly aware of impending disaster, had carried her offspring to the base of the tree and gathered them under her wings, instinctively knowing that the toxic smoke would rise. She could have flown to safety but refused to abandon her babies. When the blaze arrived and the heat singed her small body, the mother remained steadfast.

Because she had been willing to die, those under the cover of her wings would live. And because Jesus was willing to die for us, all who dwell "under the shadow of his [God/Jesus'] wings" will live too—forever.

Suggested prayer: "Dear Jesus/God, thank you that you were willing to die for me so I could live. Help me to be willing to live for you so that I can be used of you to help win others to you so that they, too, will find refuge under the shadow of your wings and your gift of forgiveness and eternal life. Thank you for hearing and answering my prayer. Gratefully, in Jesus' name, amen."1. Psalm 91:4.
