GOD CREATED ANGELS - THE ELECT ANGELS OF GOD SERVE AND WORSHIP HIM
By Synthia Esther
A.W. Tozer has said concerning God and His angels, "I am a Bible Christian and if an archangel with a wingspread as broad as a constellation, shining like the sun, were to come and offer me some new truth, I'd ask him for a reference. If he could not show me where it is found in the Bible, I'd bow him out and say, 'I'm awfully sorry. You don't bring any references with you.'"
There are many occult, New Age convert prompters and mediums who teach, usually for money, or the purchase of their book or CD, "Summoning your angels, spirit guides, or Midwayers." This is not Biblical. In fact, if you do seek Angelic contact and communication, you will be connecting and conjuring up Satan's demons, certainly not God's elect, holy Angel messengers.
SIGNS FROM ANGELS AND HOLY ANGELIC COMMUNICATION IS IN ACCORDANCE WITH GOD'S DIVINE WILL AND CONTROL
Many false teachers claim that Angels and departed loved one's frequently send signs, including birds, butterflies, and flowers, or perhaps a unique scent that we associate with an individual who passed on. A favorite perfume, for instance, or even the smell of cigarette smoke many occult promoters contend is a sent sign. Your Angel's desire to communicate with you, they state. As such, they may present you with signs, such as flickering television signals or house hold lights, burglar alarms going on and off. Or they may send you repetitive numerical prompts. The false and deceptive, 11:11 awakening and make a wish meme prompt is one such erroneously belief that has gained occult touting 21st century origin and support.
According to the Word of God, all such sent signs and wonders serve to promote a false-blasphemous gospel. Additionally, technology advancements that I have investigated and written about at: www.techchronicity.com, can also serve to mimic the same like, 11:11 fake prompting sign.
Cheryl Welch - Mind Justice founder: www.mindjustice.org, has vastly reported on such mind control - tech advancements:
US News & World Report January 3-10, 2000, John Norseen Reading your mind-and injecting smart thoughts, Douglas Pasternak described Norseen's work; "The key is finding 'brain prints'." "Think of your hand touching a mirror," explains Norseen. "It leaves a fingerprint." BioFusion would reveal the fingerprints of the brain by using mathematical models. "Just like you can find one person in a million through fingerprints," he says, "you can find one thought in a million."
Signal Magazine, Decoding Minds, October, 2001 by Dr. John D. Norseen of Lockheed Martin reported; "We are at the point where this database has been developed enough that we can use a single electrode or something like an airport security system where there is a dome above our head to get enough information that we can know the number you're thinking,"
BEWARE: AI -VIRTUAL REALITY AND LIKE TECHNOLOGY STRONGHOLDS WILL CONTINUE TO MOUNT IN THE 21st CENTURY
Beware of any and all sent occult messages that can serve to entice you to follow other worldly words filled with wicked vice and deception. Any person promoting such false gospel - doctrines of demonic enticements are making money off of your desire to be misled. God has sent you this word of warning for a reason. For it is His will that you not be deceived (Col. 2:8; Eph. 5:6).God loves you - John 3:16-17. He desires a relationship with you. He has sent you much in the way of communicating His will and ways within the Holy Bible. He desires that you read His words of guidance within His divinely inspired, and not New Age and like occult promoters false words filled with hyped-up deceptions.
TRUE BIBLICAL FACTS ABOUT GOD'S ANGELIC KINGDOM
God's everlasting Kingdom includes His creation of angelic beings (Psalm 148:2,5; Colossians 1:16; Revelation 4:11). There is divine order in God's Kingdom, with God in control of His Holy order (Matthew 6:9-10; 2nd Peter 1:11; Hebrews 12:28). The Hebrew word for angel is "malak" and means "an agent, a messenger." The Greek word for angel is "angelos" whose meaning is also "messenger."
The Bible tells us of the order of angels. There are archangels, principalities, powers, seraphim, cherubim, the Angel of the Lord, and myriads of angels. Jesus could have asked our heavenly Father to send by His command, legions of angels, and even He did not do so (Matthew 26:53). However, angels were often "sent by God" to minister unto Jesus, His Son (Mark 8:38; 13:32; Matthew 13:41; 2nd Thessalonians 1:7; John 1:51; Hebrews 12:22).
ANGELS WERE CREATED BY GOD WITH PERSONALITY AND FREEWILL
God created His angels as immortal spiritual beings (Luke 20:34; 1st Timothy 6:16). They have personality (Matthew 18:10; Psalm 103:20-21; Revelation 4:8), and freewill (Isaiah 14:12-14; 2nd Peter 2:4; Jude 6,9). Angels are ministering spirits devoted to the worship and ministry of God. They work for God, to protect the children of God (Hebrews 1:14).
Angels have also been used in judgement and blessing (Exodus 12:18:30). Angels are physically stronger than man, mighty and obedient they are (Psalm 103:20; 2nd Peter 2:11). Angels are wiser in knowledge then man (2nd Samuel 14:20; Matthew 24:36), and are filled with insight and understanding above that of man (Daniel 9:21-23; 10:10-14). Though they have all of these powerful attributes, they are not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent like that of their creator and God - Jesus Christ.
WE ARE NOT TO TRY TO CONTACT OR USHER IN GOD'S ANGELS
Angels are under our heavenly Father's command, to be used for His service, will, and plan. Angels do God's bidding on earth and in the heavenly realm (Psalm 103:20-21). Another words, "angels work for God, not us." We are to seek after God's will, not our own. No where in the Bible does an Angel appear according to mans bidding. It is God alone who determines the course, plan, and action of His angelic host. In as much, God knows what is best for His children. He alone will meet our needs, and send His angels to work on our behalf.
At birth we all have a guardian angel (Matthew 18:10; Acts 12:5-16). However, when sin is aloud to flourish within a person's life, the guardian angel sent by God does not protect them from their self-willed erroneous choices. Repeated sin brings about the forces of demonic hosts of angels. Not God's holy protection.
WE MOST CERTAINLY CAN "PRAY TO GOD" (NOT ANGELS), FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF HIS ANGELS. AS WE HUMBLY ASK IN THE NAME OF JESUS, "SEND YOUR ANGELS LORD, ON MY BEHALF LORD. THEN WE SUBMIT TO GOD'S WILL AND PLAN FOR OUR LIFE, NOT OUR OWN."
Warning:
We must "never seek" the assistance through prayer or ritual, nor strive to contact angels directly. By doing so, "We are ushering in demonic spirits who desire to deceive us," instead of God's angels. We are not to usurp God's authority.
* "For HE will give His angels charge concerning you, To guard you in all your ways (Psalm 91:11)."
* "Bless the Lord, you His angels, Mighty in strength, who perform His word, Obeying the voice of His word! (Psalm 103:20)."
SATAN'S KINGDOM
Satan also has a kingdom (Matthew 12:25-26). At his command are a host of fallen angels (about 1/3 of God's created angels) who, along with Satan, rebelled against God. Through self-will, they became slaves to Satan (Matthew 12:22-30). They blind the minds of unbelievers (2nd Corinthians 4:4), and pervert the Word of God through deceptive means, as they work to hinder the true light of the gospel (1st Thessalonians 2:18). God moves through the power of His Holy Spirit, likewise Satan provides counterfeit deceptions through his evil, demonic spirits. When we invite angels to communicate with us, we open the doorway to Satan's demonic kingdom of fallen angels!
CONTACTING YOUR GUARDIAN ANGEL IS A DEMONIC INVITATION FILLED WITH OCCULT DECEPTION - THEY CANNOT COME IN UNLESS YOU INVITE THEM!
Eric Rankin is author of the fictional book, "The Aquarians: An Ancient Mayan Prophecy - A Modern Phenomenon," which relates to the 11:11 phenomenon. Rankin writes concerning the character Vern, who was in deep water kept a float only by a life vest. Vern then experienced an unexpected thought (pages 3-4) stating, "I mean, before I die, I want to talk to my guardian angel...if I have one. " Vern then hears a soft and feminine voice, repeating an indecipherable string of words, which become clearer. "Hello? Vern called out into the night. Is someone there?"
The voice replied, "I'm here, Vern" To which Vern questioned, "Who...who are you?" The voice then proceeds to confirm, "I'm the one you asked for." Vern responds, "My guardian angel?"
After a long pause the voice responds, "If this designation brings you comfort, you are welcome to refer to me as such." Vern becomes convinced that he was not generating both sides of the conversation, for he knew he would not respond to anyone, much less himself, with words like designation or as such. "Your here because I am dying, aren't you?" Another moment of silence followed by the reply, "I'm here because you invited me here." "Because I invited you here? You mean that's all I've ever had to do?"
In their book, "Ask Your Angels," by author's Alma Daniel, Timothy Wyllie, and Andrew Ramer, this occult doorway invitation is mentioned. The authors write (page 98), "You see, there is a simple rule of angel physics that we must all obey. We angels cannot enter your world - unless you open a window or a doorway for us. Even a crack is enough, a crack of a desire to connect. Once you do that, we can come in."
OPENING OCCULT DOORWAYS
This is God's "freewill" plan, not angel physic rules. When you, by your own free will, open other worldly occult doorways, you will receive evil, demonic influence and consequences. To invite communication with Satan's angelic host of fallen angels, is in fact, a matter of opening yourself up to demonic influence, obsession, and/or possession.
God's Holy Spirit always confirms His word, causing people to come to the revelation of the fullness of His gospel.
While Satan's counterfeit spirit brings people into deception and bondage (Exodus 7:8-25; 8:1-19). We are told in the word of God to tests the spirit, and to not believe every word (1st John 4:1). The spirits can be tested by the fruit they yield (Matthew 7:19-23), by fulfillment (Deuteronomy 18:21-22), the truth of Christ's coming in the flesh, His incarnation (1st John 4:2-3), and in accordance to His holy word (Isaiah 8:19-20).
A FEW BIBLICAL EXAMPLES OF GOD SENDING HIS ANGELS ON BEHALF OF HIS CHILDREN:
"The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them." - Psalms 34:7
"My God sent His angel, and He shut the mouths of the lions." - Daniel 6:22
"Last night an angel of the God whose I am and whom I serve stood beside me and said, 'Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trail before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you." - Acts 27:23-24
An angel ministered to Hagar and Ishmael (Genesis 16:10, 21:17).
Two angels rescued Lot out of Sodom from the fire and brimstone destruction (Genesis 19:1-24).
Three angels visited Abraham and Sarah (Genesis 18:2).
An angel brought food and drink to Elijah which served to strengthen and instruct him (1st Kings 19:5-7; 2nd Kings 1:3, 15).
The angel Gabriel announced to the virgin Mary, the birth and the name of the Christ Child in her womb. His name is Jesus (Luke 1:26-35).
WE ARE FORBIDDEN TO WORSHIP GOD'S ANGELS
"Let no one keep defrauding you of your prize by delighting in self-abasement and the worship of the angels, taking his stand on visions he has seen, inflated without cause by his fleshly mind," - Colossians 2:18
John was told by the angel of God not to worship him. Revelation 22:8-9, “I, John, am the one who heard and saw these things. And when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who had been showing them to me. But he said to me, “Do not do it! I am a fellow servant with you and with your brothers the prophets and of all who keep the words of this book. Worship God!”
God's voice, through the power of His Holy Spirit, is often heard by means of a whisper ...
When we draw close to our Heavenly Father, His Holy Spirit whisper's to our spirit, confirming His word, will, and ways. When God's prophet Elijah ran from threats made by the evil, power and control freak Jezebel (who worshipped Baal and many other foreign gods), he ran away afraid for his life and hid. We read in 1st Kings 19:3-18, And the word of the Lord came to him and asked:
"What are you doing here, Elijah?"
He replied, "I have been very "zealous" for the Lord God Almighty. The Israelites have rejected your covenant, broken down your altars, and put your prophets to death with the sword. I am the only one left, and now they are trying to kill me too."
The Lord said (verses 11 - 14), "Go out and stand on the mountain in the presence of the Lord, for the Lord is about to pass by."
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earth quake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire came "a gentle whisper."
When Elijah heard it, he pulled his cloak over his face and went out and stood at the mouth of the cave.
Then a voice said to him, "What are you doing here, Elijah?"
He replied, "I have been very "zealous" for the Lord God Almighty."
God's voice was heard by Elijah through a whisper. How can we learn to hear the Holy Spirit of God's whisper?
By being "zealous" for the Lord (1st Kings 2:2; Luke 9:23-24) just like Elijah was, who is considered one of the greatest prophets of God to have ever lived. Elijah's walk was so close to God, he went directly to heaven without having to experience death (2nd Kings 2:11). Enoch was another of God's "zealous" Christians, who God took directly to heaven (Genesis 5:24). Noah is another who walked close to God (Genesis 6:9), even in the midst of wickedness. As such, Noah found favor with the Lord. And we likewise can too, when we are "zealous" for God and His Holy word.
We also hear God's voice by reading His word, the Holy Bible. The closer we get to God, we realize He was there all the time. The closer we get to God, the more in tuned we are to hear his still small voice from within. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith (Hebrews 12:2). Let us leave the elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity (Hebrews 6:1). God is not unjust, He will not forget your work (Hebrews 6:10).
John 10:27, "My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand."
