Beware of the Deceiver

The Bible speaks much about the spirit realm...but not in the "sweet polly pure bread" way that many others do today.

The Bible doesn't say that everyone is nice, nice...and everyone is out there to help you on your journey.

If we have an ounce of discernment we should already know this.

The God who created us is Spirit...He is not physical, or material...He is a boundless, or infinite Spirit [all powerful, all knowing, all wise, everywhere present, all loving, all good...etc.]

This God created everything...but is Himself uncreated.

God not only created a material/physical universe...He also created spiritual creatures as well.

These spirit creatures are called angels.

Our culture portrays angels to be either beautiful, soft looking women with dove wings...or chubby little babies...also sporting doves wings.

This is not what the Bible teaches about angels.

Angels are revealed in the Bible to be fierce looking soldiers [men], whose presence is so frightening...so terrible...that men fall on their faces in shock and trauma when confronted by them.

Angels are shown to be God's messengers. They are smarter then humans. They are mightier then humans.

And...we are told...that many of these creatures do not seek mankinds "well being".

Theses creatures not only hate the God who created them...they also hate men because God made man in His own image.

All of a sudden the spirit realm takes on a new light...more about this later...
