Believe It Or Not: Angels And Demons Are Real

…be obedient to God in everything…in order that Satan might not outwit us.  For we are not unaware of his schemes. 2 Corinthians 2:9,11

Be self controlled and alert.  Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.  1 Peter 5:8

1. Angels are created beings.  

For by Him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by Him and for Him. Colossians 1:16

2.  Angels are not to be worshiped.    

3. Angels are spirit beings.

4. Angels are a multitude who worships God.

Then I looked and heard the voice of many angels, numbering thousands upon thousands, and ten thousand times ten thousand.  Revelation 5:11

5. Angels cannot be in more than one place at a time.

6. Angels are powerful.

What do angels do?  Let me highlight a couple of things:
1. They worship God.

 I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted…Above him were seraphs, each with six wings; With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet and with two they were flying.  And they were calling to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory.”  Isaiah 6:1-3

2. They are God's messengers.

Do you think I cannot call on my Father and he will at once put at my disposal more than twelve legions of angels?  Matthew 26:53

How you have fallen from heaven, O morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations! Isaiah 14:12

I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.  Luke 10:18

...a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth.  Revelation 9:1

...innumerable company of angels. Hebrews 12:22

…an enormous red dragon…His tail swept a third of the stars out of the sky and flung them to the earth…the great dragon was hurled down—that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.”  Revelation 12:3-9

...an eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels.” Matthew 25:41

…each one is tempted by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed.  Then after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and when sin is full grown, gives birth to death.  James 1:14-15

You, dear children, are from God and have overcome them, because the one who is in you is greater than the one who is in the world. 1 John 4:4

Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. James 4:7
