Ephesians 6:12 says, ” For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.” There is a lot of confusion about the spiritual realm. There are some who believe that angels are simply human beings who have died. Yet the Bible reminds us that angels are created beings, who are watching the plan of God revealed in history. The Bible is clear that there is a distinct difference between angels and mankind, and it is important for us to understand our similarities and our differences, The truth of the matter is that there is a spiritual war going on around us, and we need to decide which side of the battle we are on. We need to understand that this battle affects our hearts and minds! The key to gaining the victory is not to worship the angels, but to understand our position in the kingdom of God. God sent His Son as a Man, not an angel. In the Old Testament, we see the “Angel of the Lord” appearing, which was a visible manifestation of the Lord, but it was not until “The Angel of the Lord” became a man, that He was able to deal with the dilemma of mankind. Provision for sin was made through the sacrifice of Christ, and our enemy, a fallen angel, Satan, will do all in his power to confuse and blind us to the Truth. Choose today to submit yourself to the Lord, and live in the victory over the war that is going on around us.
