NOVEMBER 17 “And He was there in the wilderness for forty days, tempted by Satan, and was with the wild beasts. And the angels ministered to Him.” — Mark 1:13

The Bible and Angels

We seem to be living in the time when angels are getting much attention, even in movies or television. One of the most common myths is the idea that an angel was once a human being and now is in the process of earning his wings by returning to earth and doing good things. But an angel never was, and never will be, anything other than an angel. And a human being never was, and never will be, anything other than a human being. They are separate orders of creation.

All of the angels were made at once. They did not descend from original parents as we did, but they were all created at the same time and they do not procreate.

Angels are far superior to us in almost any way that you can imagine. They are wiser and they are holier—at least those who have kept their first estate and are not fallen angels. The devil and demons are all angels. They are fallen, sinful angels that took part in a rebellion and now are loosed upon this earth, but they are still fallen angels.

Angels are also much more powerful than we are. We realize that in the Old Testament we read of one angel who destroyed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers in one night. The Bible makes it very plain that you are not to take on the devil in your strength, and only by Christ do we have any possibility of winning any contests that we may have with him.

Jesus, King of the Angels, give me strength today to know my place in creation, a little lower than the angels, but crowned with glory and honor. Thank You, Lord Jesus, for having dominion over both Your angels, the ministering spirits who do Your will, and the fallen angels who seek to cause us harm. Thank You for Your angels who do Your will…
"BY GOD’S STRENGTH, WE CAN WELCOME THE HELP OF HIS ANGELS."
