Angels
Angels are spirit beings
who were created before the earth was created.
We
have
4
Great
videos.
This page
is formatted
to do
in
6 parts.
Introduction
The subject of "angels" is becoming more prevalent.
Christians and non-Christians
need to understand what God says about angels.
This page will answer most of your questions.
And...
On this page, you will learn
why
you should NOT
try to
contact angels.
(The videos will explain in detail.)
To begin with - note...
Only
Satanic fallen angels
respond
when you request an angel to speak to you.
Satanic angels pretend to be good angels.
God's angels - only - respond to God's voice.
There are many - even in the church - who are now
trying to contact
angels.
This is DANGEROUS.
Pray about sharing this information
with individuals that God puts on your heart.
Angels
There are Good Angels who serve God.
There are Fallen Angels who serve the devil.
I have lots of facts
about angels
further down the page.
Monday
Our first video reveals
why it is
dangerous
to try to contact angels or pursue them.
I define and explain in detail
angels, fallen angels, Satan, etc.
on
Wednesday, Thursday, and especially Friday.
In the following video,
Steven Bancarz gives insights.
Steven Bancarz
is the man in the suit.
I do not know anything about David Heavener.
I have lots of helpful information about this topic below the video.
Attention:
If someone prays to an angel or tries to contact an angel,
one of the
wicked fallen angels or demons
will be the entity
who answers you.
That is why those activities are so dangerous.
-
Most people NEVER see an angel.
Some may see one once in their life.
(And if you do, be very careful - Galatians 1:8.)
Other than that - BEWARE!
Many Christians today are being deceived!
Even Christian leaders!!
Because
they are putting supernatural experiences
above Bible verses!
There have been a
handful of times
EVER
of instances where angels
were sent to deliver messages.
They never come to give new information
to add to Scripture.
Galatians 1:8
-
Beware of Christian teachers or prophets who talk about their
frequent angel encounters.
They are deceived by the enemy of our soul.
I have never seen an angel and never expect to.
Angels do not come to chat with people.
Tuesday
Doreen
was recently saved by Jesus.
She used to
consult angels and do all kinds of
supernatural things.
Doreen will give us important warnings.
Her picture is chosen in order to
draw people who are still in the occult.
Disclaimer: I do not agree with everything Doreen says. I am just endorsing THIS video.
Testing the Spirits
All angels from God will be all about
obeying God, reading the Bible, and repenting of sins.
Angels will NEVER say anything to contradict the Bible....
BUT - that means you need to KNOW the Bible.
Fallen angels come and deceive
those who
don't know their Bible and follow their Bible.

Here is a great video about
Testing the Spirits
https://youtu.be/RL1XM6a-8Zo
Note:
Necromancy is forbidden in the Bible.
Necromancy
is
talking to the dead.
This includes your dead relatives.
God will NOT let your dead relatives come to you from heaven.
Demons can easily look like your dead relatives.
The Following Sins are Forbidden by God....
There shall not be found among you
any one that
maketh his son or his daughter
to pass through the fire,
or that useth
divination,
or an observer of times, or an enchanter,
or a witch.
Or a charmer,
or a consulter with familiar spirits,
or a wizard
or a
necromacer.
Deuteronomy 18:10-11
To see various Bible translations for the word "necromancer."

Wednesday
Important Facts about Angels:
All the angels were created at the same time
before the earth was created.
One angel, named Lucifer, rebelled against God and
led 1/3 of the angels to rebel against God.
This happened before Eve ate the forbidden fruit.
Lucifer
is also called many other names.
For example
Satan, the devil, the dragon, the old serpent, Beelzebul, or The Father of Lies.
Lucifer and all the fallen angels
work against God and try to hurt humans.
They steal, kill, and destroy all that they can.
They discourage, distract, and they tempt people to sin.
They want to get people to doubt the Word of God is true.
1 Peter 5:8 says...
Be sober, be vigilant;
because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,
walketh about,
seeking whom he may devour.
In Genesis 6,
some of the fallen angels decided to take human women as wives. They had sex and gave birth to beings who grew to be giant beings called the Nephilim - which were part human and part angel. (They probably were beings like Hercules, and the Titans.) The Nephilim apparently died in the flood of Noah.
Most people think the angels of Genesis 6 were punished after Noah's flood
by putting them in chains until right before
The Tribulation begins.
2 Peter 2:4 and Jude 1:6
Some people think the
spirits of the Nephilim
(who died during Noah's flood)
are what we call "demons" today.
Other people think the term "demons" is just another term for the fallen angels.
Satan
rules over all the fallen angels
(and the demons if they are a separate category).
I will call Satan and all his forces the following terms interchangeably - evil forces, wicked forces or demonic forces or satanic forces.
God
wants us to fight
against the Satanic forces.
How?
?
In Matthew 4:1-11 - the devil tried to tempt Jesus to sin. .Jesus always answered him by quoting Scripture.
I give tips on HOW to do this in our page
Shield of Faith tips
Next...
James 4:7 is important to defeating
the devil and his forces.
This site has a page on that verse.
The verse says...
Submit to God
Resist the devil.
And he will flee from you.
James 4:7
Another important aspect is
putting on the
Full Armor of God that we read about in Ephesians 6
starting in verse 10.
This site has many prayers for putting on
Ephesians 6
Stand therefore,
having girded your waist with
truth,
having put on
the breastplate of righteousness
and having
shod your feet
with the preparation of the gospel of peace
above all, taking the
Shield of Faith
with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the
Helmet of salvation,
and the
Sword of the Spirit
which is the word of God..
And verse 18
And we are to PRAY!
We fight most of our battles on our knees!
Notice that
when God introduces the Full Armor,
God lets us know that
Satan puts these wicked beings in ranks.
See the red words.
Ephesians 6:10-13
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. 11 Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Then verses 14-18, God lists the armor.
This site has pages on each of these...
Helmet of Salvation
Belt of Truth
Breastplate of Righteousness
Shoes of Peace
Shield of Faith
Sword of the Spirit
Thursday
In speaking about good angels and fallen angels,
the topic of demons will come up.
Most Bible translations use the word
"demon"
multiple times
especially in the Gospels
(Matthew, Mark, Luke, John)
where Jesus cast out demons.
The King James Version uses the word "devil" instead.
For example - https://biblehub.com/matthew/9-33.htm
Demons
are also called
evil spirits, unclean spirits, familiar spirits, spirit guides.
Who are these demons / devils?
The Bible does not give us a clear answer.
Some people think the
spirits of the Nephilim
are what we call "demons" today.
Other people think
the term "demons"
is just another term for the fallen angels.
In the video
below -
Steven Bancarz
thinks the demons are spirits of the Nephilim.
He has some compelling reasons.
I think Doreen Virtue views them as fallen angels.
Next,
we have a more in-depth video from
Steven Bancarz.
I do not know anything about the other man.
Correction
to the video below:
Enoch was actually the Great Grandfather of Noah. Genesis 5:21-29.
At 29 minutes - 32 minutes,
Steven Bancarz discusses
2 Corinthians 11:14 NLT
"Satan disguises himself as an angel of light."
Two Comments posted on Youtube under the video
Comment One...
I repent of calling warring angels to help people in the name of Jesus. Thank you Steven BANCARZ.
Comment Two...
Whenever Steven Bancarz speaks, there is clarity! Thanks, Steven, for sharing your gift of untangling complex ideas... it always leads me to a better understanding and deeper appreciation for scripture!
Friday
Today I will give
lots of insights into angels.
To get the print larger on a computer,
hold down the control button
and press the + sign.
God gives us a lot of information about angels. God does not want us to try to find out more information by seeking after angels or running after people who have encounters with angels.
Angels are spirit beings who were created by God to serve him. Nehemiah 9:6, Colossians 1:16
Angels are messengers of God. They follow God's orders. They do not respond to our prayers. They only respond to God's orders. Luke 4:10-22
Angels rejoice when a person repents. Luke 15:10
Angels are not plump, cute babies. They are POWERFUL beings. See 2 Kings 19:35.
There are different kinds of angels - such as Cherubim (Genesis 3:24 and Exodus 25:18-22) and Seraphim which have 6 wings (Isaiah 6:2 and Isaiah 6:6)
Guardian Angels - The Bible seems to indicate that children have guardian angels. Matthew 18:10 The Bible is silent on the idea of adults having guardian angels.
Revelation 4:6-9... The four living creatures may be angelic.
The Bible only gives us information about male angels. There may or may not be female angels. Note that angels do not marry. Matthew 22:30
The Bible gives us the names of 3 angels...
Michael is an archangel Jude 1:9 Revelation 12:7.... Daniel 10:13 seems to indicate that he protects Israel. Here he is called a Chief Prince.
Gabriel - Luke 1:19, Luke 1:26 and Daniel 9:21. In Daniel, Gabriel looked like a man. Angels can cover themselves and appear like a man. See Hebrews 13:2.
Lucifer - I explain details about him on my page...
Who is the devil? And on my page Spiritual Battle.
Raphael - He is not mentioned in the Bible. He is an angel only found in the book of Enoch. Since he is not in the Bible, we do not take his existence as fact. He may or may not be real.
Angels are sometimes called "sons of God." Job 1:6, Job 38:7, Genesis 6:2
Good and bad angels have a will, intellect, and emotion.
Fallen angels -
some are serving Satan and some are bound.
Angels are forbidden to have children.
But the Bible tells us that some of them did
and they are being punished.... See below.
Before Adam and Eve sinned...one third of the angels chose to rebel against God and go with Lucifer / Satan. And later in Genesis 6 we learn that some of the fallen angels had sex with human women and are now kept in eternal bonds under darkness waiting for the judgement of the great day.
Jude 1:6, 2 Peter 2:4
When we are living in sin,
we give the demonic forces an opening to interfere in our life.
For example, Ephesians 4:26-27.
Good angels sometimes guard us. Psalm 91:11
Angels are much stronger than humans. 2 Kings 19:35 Go through walls Acts 12:7-10
God's angels sometimes fight against the fallen angels. Daniel 10:13 and following tells of Michael against the demonic forces and Jude 1:9 tells of Michael with Satan.
Angels are not to be worshipped. Colossians 2:18, Revelation 22:8-9 To worship them would be idolatry and paganism.
Angels can fly. Revelation 14:6
There are lots of angels. Daniel 7:10, Psalm 68:17, Luke 2:13, Hebrews 12:22, Revelation 5:11, Deuteronomy 33:2
Good and Bad angels can appear as men.
They can hide the powerful essence that they would normally show. Galatians 1:8 (Both fallen angels and angels who have not fallen can appear as a man.) Hebrews 13:2
Sometimes they wear shining garments. Luke 24:4
No more angels are being created. Genesis 2:1-2
Angels cannot die. Luke 20:36
Angels are not to be prayed to. Jesus said, WHEN you pray say... "Our Father" Matthew 6:9 - Also 1 Timothy 2:5 says there is only one mediator who is Jesus Christ. Also see our Mary page where we give more verses about not praying to anyone but God.
Angels are intelligent and they are curious about things. And God's angels are always obedient to God. 1 Peter 1:12
Angels shouted for joy when God made the earth. Job 38:7
When the Bible says Angel of the Lord - such as Genesis 22:11 - it may mean an angel that comes from God or some theologians think that the term refers to Jesus who came had not come in bodily form yet so that was the term they used. If it is referring to Jesus, it does NOT mean that Jesus is an angel. The Bible is very clear that Jesus is not a created being but instead Jesus is GOD. Please see our Trinity page.
The only way we are talk to angels
is indirectly
by quoting
the Scriptures where God tells us to
speak certain words to angels.
For example,
Psalm 103:20-21
Praise the Lord, you angels,
you mighty ones who carry out his plans,
listening for each of his commands.
21 Yes, praise the Lord, you armies of angels
who serve him and do his will!
And
Psalm 148:1-2
Praise the Lord!
Praise the Lord from the heavens!
Praise him from the skies!
2 Praise him, all his angels!
Praise him, all the armies of heaven!

A Teaching Video
A Mighty Song
And a Full Armor of God Prayer
Another video
from
Doreen Virtue
Disclaimer: I am not endorsing everything that Doreen says on her videos. I'm just endorsing the videos that I post.
We are not to rejoice because angels help us.
They just do what God tells them to do.
We are to rejoice because
OUR LORD
is the
Commander and Chief
of
ALL
the angel armies!
I invite you to join me in
Putting On
The Full Armor of God
Mighty God of all Creation,
Today I will put on your Amazing Armor.
I put on the Helmet of Salvation.
I will proclaim the Saving Power of my Lord!
I put on the Belt of Truth.
I will proclaim to the world that your Word is TRUTH!
I put on the Breastplate of Righteousness.
I will proclaim to my Savior
that Righteous Living will reign in me this day!
I put on the Shoes of Peace.
I will proclaim in my mind
the
blessings of living
in peace
with God and with His Word!
I pick up the Shield of Faith.
I will raise my Shield
and
proclaim my Faithful devotion to God
each time
the devil
tries to tempt me to disobey God.
I pick up the Sword of the Spirit
which is the Word of God.
I will raise my Sword
and
proclaim the Words of God
out-loud
when trials and trouble
come my way!
Philippians 4:13 tells me,
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
Habakkuk 3:19 tells me,
“The Lord is my STRENGTH.”
Ephesians 6:10 tells me to,
“Be Strong in the Lord and the Power of His Might!”
Joshua 1:9 tells me to,
“Be Strong and Courageous
for the
Lord
will be with me always!”
James 4:7 tells me to,
“Submit to God,
resist the devil, and he will flee from me!”
God reminds me in Romans 8:31,
“If God is for me, who can be against me?”
Today,
I will stand up
and be
BOLD, STRONG, and COURAGEOUS.
I will choose God’s ways
- and -
I will reject the devil’s ways.
I pray these things
in
Jesus’ POWERFUL name,
AMEN!
