A divine encounter should not be expected or wished for, as it is never promised to the Christian. We are to follow by faith, not by sight (2 Corinthians 5:7). Colossians 2:18, (CEV) “Don’t be cheated by people who make a show of acting [...]
Since God is a spirit being, we don’t really know, because humans cannot see spirit beings. There were times in the Bible when spirit beings created a human-like body to communicate with people. But what the people saw was a temporary human image, not [...]
Evil spirits are spirit beings that, through disobedience to God, were cast out of God’s favor and light and into darkness. For this reason, they are sometimes referred to as “fallen angels.” The first of these beings to disobey God was Lucifer. The scriptures [...]
In Mark 1:21-26, Jesus cast out demons. In Matthew 10:1, Jesus also gave the apostles power to cast out demons. In Mark 9:28,29, after the disciples were unable to cast out a demon, Jesus said, "This kind can come forth by nothing, but by [...]
1 Peter 3:18-20 (KJV), “For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened (made alive) by the Spirit: By which also he went and [...]
When Jesus was begotten by God, he was an angel. He was called the Logos (the Word) of God. God and the Logos created everything and every being together. John 1:3 (NKJV), “All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made [...]
1 Peter 3:18-20 (ESV), 18 “For Christ also suffered once for sins, the righteous for the unrighteous, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit, 19 in which he went and proclaimed [...]
Jesus taught that angels can see God. "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven." Matthew 18:10 (NKJV)Micaiah the prophet [...]
No. Angels are spirit beings and they inhabit a spirit realm. They do not live in the natural universe that we see. When God directed the creation of Earth and of man, the Logos and the other sons of God (the angels) rejoiced in the [...]
In the Bible, there are only a few appearances by holy angels. These angels came to people with special messages from God. Examples include angels sent to Abraham, Gideon, Daniel, Mary, and the Apostle John. The content of these messages had information that would [...]
Isaiah 66:7-8 (NIV), “Before she goes into labor, she gives birth; before the pains come upon her, she delivers a son. Who has ever heard of such things? Who has ever seen things like this? Can a country be born in a day or [...]
God, Satan and the angels ARE souls. God speaks and identifies Himself as a soul in Isaiah 42:1, “Behold my servant whom I uphold; mine elect in whom My soul delights…" God is the author of all life, including the angels. Job 12:10, “In whose [...]
It can be either or both. When Adam sinned and was cast out of Eden, the Lord told him: “Cursed is the ground because of you,” Genesis 3:11. God had specially prepared the garden for man and man could have had everlasting life. The area outside the garden, [...]
Jesus never focused on the power of Satan and his fallen angels. If this were an important issue, Jesus would certainly have warned us! We know Satan works to oppose us through our fallen flesh; the present, evil world; and maneuvering forces to hurt [...]
The word "angel" in the Bible is translated from the Hebrew word malawk in the Old Testament and the Greek word angelos in the New. Both words mean "messenger." These messengers could be in the form of human or spiritual beings. For example, both [...]
Yes, it is possible. Satan can cast out Satan by promoting contradictory partial lies. His response to combat the legitimate increase of knowledge is to “transform” himself into an “angel of light.” 2 Corinthians 11:14-15, 3, 1 Corinthians 15:24-26, Matthew 7:22-23. He disguises himself [...]
In general, God used messengers to speak to humans. Examples would be when Gabriel spoke to Mary, “During Elizabeth’s sixth month of pregnancy, God sent the angel Gabriel to Nazareth, a town in Galilee, to a virgin” (Luke 1:26, 27), and also spoke to Zacharias, [...]
The heavenly being, Michael, is only identified as the archangel in Jude 1:9, “Michael the archangel.” The word “angel” means a messenger or ambassador. Archangel would include the thought of chief messenger or representative of God. “Michael” is Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance Hebrew #4317 and [...]
We only know the names of three angels, Michael the archangel, Gabriel and Lucifer the devil. Michael the archangel is in Daniel 10 & 12 and Jude 1:9. Michael means "one who as God" and refers to Jesus. (The Revelation 12:7 reference refers symbolically [...]
It sounds as if you are asking, “will Christians have a higher position in heaven than angels?” The answer is - yes and we don’t know. There are two classes of Christians during the present period. They are represented as wise virgins and foolish [...]
