---Our Ministry To Angels
--By: Henry Morris, Ph.D.

“To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God” (Ephesians 3:10).

There is “an innumerable company of angels” in heaven (Hebrews 12:22) who serve as “ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation” (Hebrews 1:14).

At the same time, it is instructive to realize we also have a ministry to the angels. Despite their great power and knowledge, angels are not the “heirs of salvation” themselves, and so will never personally experience that peculiar type of love and fellowship which we share with our Lord and Savior. Nevertheless, as personal beings with the free will to reject their role as God’s servants if they choose, they are intensely interested in our salvation. “Which things the angels desire to look into” (I Peter 1:12).

In addition to serving for the protection and guidance of individual believers, apparently certain angels are also assigned by God to serve Christian congregations functioning corporately, especially in true local churches. Paul mentions the observing presence of angels in the Corinthian church (I Corinthians 11:10), for example.

In His letters to the seven representative churches, Christ addressed the individual angels of each church (Revelation 2:1, etc.). That these are heavenly angels (not human pastors or other human church leaders) is evident from the fact that the word “angel” is used 65 other times in Revelation, and always refers to real angels.

Finally, the words of our text for the day give a special incentive for our lives, for there we are reminded that it is through God’s dealings with “the church” that His holy angels are able to learn for themselves “the manifold wisdom of God.”

We must be very careful not to get caught up in the occult and New Age movement with their ideas of contacting angelic spirits. If you fool around with this type of spirit you are welcoming the 'enemy of our souls', Satan. DO NOT get involved with the occult and it's practices, even if you think it's just 'for fun'. Playing around in the demonic world is serious business and can cause bad things to happen to you.

Yes, we know from scripture there are evil spirits because when Lucifer/Satan was kicked out of heaven, a large army of demonic spirits went with him. BE CAREFUL! ~~
