Who Are They?
‘For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways’ Ps.91:11
Who are angels in terms of reality? Angels are worshippers. ‘And when he brought his supreme Son into the world, God said, Let all of God’s angels worship him’ Heb.1:6. Jesus is the only person that has lived on earth that angels of God were instructed to worship. So Jesus must be God and He must be supreme. [Read Rev.5:11-12]. Secondly angels are warriors. ‘That night, the angel of the Lord went out to the Assyrian camp and killed 185,000 Assyrian soldiers…’ 2Kings 19:35. One angel killed 185,000 men.

In His Will
‘Praise the Lord, you angels, you mighty one who carry out His plans, listening for each of His commands’ Ps.103:20.
Scripture points to the fact that little children have angels assigned to them and their angels are constantly in the presence of God. Jesus says that unless we are like little children, then we shall not enter the Kingdom of God [Matt.18:3]. There is something about the heart of little children that is acceptable to God and which makes it possible to for them to have angels around them. However, as we begin to grow and dabble into all sorts of negative things, we begin to rebel against God and against what God will have us do. A Read the rest of this entry
Angels
‘Regarding the angels, he says, He sends his angels like the winds, his servants like flames of fire’ Heb.1:8.
There was an old man that lived in the Mediterranean among the Semites. One morning his protégée got up from the bed and went to perhaps fetch water to prepare the house for the day. And the protégée discovered that their house was surrounded with warriors. So he ran to his master and he said ‘Master, there is trouble! What shall we do, they have come for you and we are surrounded’. And his master got up from the bed still robbing his eyes from sleep and said to the young man ‘don’t be afraid for they that are with us are Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware VIII
‘My husband is not at home; he has gone on a long journey… With persuasive words she led him astray; she seduced him with her smooth talk’ Prov.7:19 &21
The third thing you must know is that we don’t flirt with darkness. ‘Let no one be found among you who sacrifices his son or daughter in the fire, who practices divination or sorcery, interprets omens, engages in witchcraft, or casts spells, or who is a medium or spiritist or who consults the dead. Anyone who does these things is detestable to the Lord…’ Deut.18:10-12 [NIV]. Some believers flirt with the devil by practicing divination, sorcery, and interpreting omens. The enemy will suggest that it is harmless to Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware VII
‘in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes’ 2 Cor.2:11 [NIV]
God wants you to be free. So you need to battle satan. And in battling satan, the first thing you need to know is that we don’t treat our enemy lightly. In a war situation, it is kill or be killed, fire or be fired at. ‘But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!’ Jude 1:9[NIV]. Do not treat the enemy lightly. One of the major lies of the devil that I have seen him use to destroy destinies is he Read the rest of this entry

‘The Spirit clearly says that in later times some will abandon the faith and follow deceiving spirits and things taught by demons’ 1 Tim.4:1 [NIV].
Thirdly, demons scheme to lure us away from God. You go for a powerful prayer meeting but you find that all you can do is sleep. Perhaps there is a demon on your case. Apart from those things, demons try to confuse our doctrine and even our understanding of God thereby luring us away from God [1 Tim.4:1 NIV]. ‘Some will abandon the faith’ – what is the faith? The simplicity of the faith; Jesus says ‘I am the Way, I am the truth, I am the life’ by putting my faith in Jesus and accepting His forgiveness I have salvation – Read the rest of this entry
Be Aware V
‘But for twenty-one days the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia blocked my way. Then Michael, one of the archangels, came to help me, and I left him there with the spirit prince of the kingdom of Persia’ Dan.10:13
You need to know what satan and his demons try to do. Firstly, demons influence the leaders of nations because they know that if they can negatively influence the leadership of a nation, they will affect many more people. ‘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’ Eph.6:12 [KJV]. This is why as the church we have to influence leaders of nations because influencing the leaders Read the rest of this entry

‘Look, I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you’ Luke 10:19.
Fifthly, you must know that you as a child of God you have power over satan and his demons. You must know that you have power as a child of God; which is why the qualification is a child of God. If you are not a child of God well I pray that you become one today because this life is too dangerous. We have all sorts of terrible things happening, you need God on your side. ‘Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and Read the rest of this entry

‘Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ’ 2 Cor.10:5[KJV]
The fourth thing we need to know about satan and his demons is that the devil thrives in darkness. The devil loves darkness and confusion. It is this same darkness and confusion he orchestrates in marriages because the devil hates for husband and wife to be at peace. The devil will plant conflicting thoughts in the mind of both the husband and wife. Thoughts that if not cast down and out will stair up confusion. There was a case of a man who walked into the house to see his wife and her Read the rest of this entry

‘…He was a murderer from the beginning. He has always hated the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, it is consistent with his character; for he is a liar and the father of lies’ John 8:44.
The second thing you need to know is that satan and his demons hate you. I know they hate me. Do you know why they hate you? It is because you are a human being and you are made in the image of God. You don’t have to do anything to upset them just because you are a creation of God made in His image, they hate you. In fact John 10:10 says they have only one objective to steal, to kill, and to destroy – there is nothing else. It is a three-fold mandate – to steal, to kill, and to destroy. So don’t Read the rest of this entry
