Читать книгу Angelic Encounters - Joe Hammond Callihan - Страница 3

We are warned in God’s Word never to worship angels. We also are warned that within the spiritual realm there exist both good and evil angels who engage in combat in the Heavenlies. As for here on earth, God’s Word says we are to be careful how we choose to entertain strangers, for sometimes we may have entertained angels unaware. This can be as innocent a thing as our encountering our ministering angel, or as evil as entertaining a stripper, who is possessed by demons (which are the fallen angels, in service to satan).

When we accept Jesus as our Lord and Savior, our “relationship” with our Heavenly Father is restored to purity in His sight. When we become born again by the Holy Spirit of God, ministering angels are assigned to us, that they might help us journey safely along toward our eternal home in Heaven. Such ministering angels are referred to as our “Guardian Angel.”

Angels are fierce and mighty beings, yet we as the children of God, have authority over them, especially the evil ones; which we have been given authority in Jesus’ name to cast back into the deepest pits of Hell, where they belong. We have this position of authority over angels due to our “relationship” with God, not our “religion” with Him! Angels are beings which were brought into existence by the spoken Word of God. We, as His children, were created by God’s hands forming our earthly bodies from the clay of the earth. But when He breathed a living soul into our body, His breath gave us “relationship” with Him, which no angelic being possesses.

The stories of my encounters with angels, and in particular my own Guardian Angel, deal with the good angels of God. I have yet to experience casting out demons from my life or that of another, but would welcome as a believer, the opportunity of doing just that! My stories are not necessarily of faith. However they do bolster my faith in my Father’s Love for you and me. You may recall your own encounters with your Guardian Angel and can see in their presence, God’s loving care for you.

With that said, may you enjoy reading Angelic Encounters.
