Are you aware of you surroundings?
Mommy's Little Angel
Is this your concept of angels? Are they just the a figment of our imagination? Are they the departed spirits of good people and children? Do angels have any part in our lives? The subject of the world of spirits can be unnerving and unknown.
We are surrounded by a world that we often never consider. I asked the question, "Are you aware of your surrounding?" If that means do we see the other people, other cars, other scenes, the answer is normally yes. We do a pretty good job of having our eyes open to what's around us. I certainly hope every other driver on the road remains alert to the other drivers. When I go to a baseball game we are instructed to remain aware of the game lest a bat or ball flies into the stands! Being watchful and vigilant is important in life.
So, also, is being vigilant to remember that an invisible world exists around us. in 2 Kings 6 Elisha prays that those with him would have their eyes open to see the "chariots of fire" that encircled the city! They were already there. It's just that the servants didn't see them. Balaam's donkey saw the angel standing in the way when Balaam was blind to it. It wasn't until after a conversation with his donkey that the Lord opened Balaam's eyes to see the angel. The angel was already there. It's just that Balaam didn't see it.
Both good angels and evil demons are all around us. Satan is called the "prince of the power of the air" in Ephesians 2:2. One of his domains is the atmosphere we live in. Demonic spirits are all around us trying to distract us, delay us and destroy us. Satan and his army of evil minions work hard to keep us from serving the Lord. And, they work hard to keep people from coming to the Lord as their Saviour and Lord.
On Sunday we will begin an investigation into a biblical theology of the world of the spirits. Join us as we study this most important subject. Today we are being influenced more and more by demonic doctrines, demon possession, occultic practices and Satanic attacks. Be hear, or listen in, as we probe this topic.
