In reply to: Sandy 's message, "Three angels With Three Messages" on 17:21:02 10/05/10 Tue

First let me say I do believe there are angels among us today.

What we have to be very careful of if we think we are in the presence of an angel (or an apparition appears) is to certify that it is one of God's holy angels and not an impostor.

The test is found in 1 John 4:1-2 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God: (Jesus = Saviour and is God manifest in the flesh.)(1 Tim. 3:16)

God's angels are called ministering spirits in Hebrews 1:14 so an apparition of an angel is a spirit in the form of a man. Many times in the Bible they are shown as such and they are in every instance men.

Satan also has his angels which are "spirit people" people also. God warned us through the words of Paul to be on the watch for deceivers appearing as good ministers. 2 Corinthians 11:14-15 And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15 Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

There are a few things these imposters cannot admit to and that is the atonement, deity of Jesus and that Jesus was very God of creation manifest in the flesh.

My thoughts on God's angels appearing to men in the Church age is that why would a Christian need an angel when he or she has the indwelling Holy Ghost of God to guide him in all truth (John 16:13) We also have the completed canon of scripture which has laid out in totality the events of the end time and warning after warning of what we have to do to avoid this judgment on ourselves and the world. Trouble is people won't believe the Spirit and they won't believe the Bible.

I also have stated here in the Daniel study that I believe the angels or seed of Satan are in control of many governments today at this very time. We may even have on in the White House. The "iron" of the feet in Chapter 2 cannot be of the seed of men because it won't mix with the clay which is the seed of men or seed of Adam.

Yes, I know the scriptures you are referring to Hillbilly. And of course, we need to consider the possibility of that being what is going on always.

I also know that many of these so called visitations that have happened quite often are just that also. Along with some of the things that are and have been going on in many churches that are done in the name of the Lord too. Their definitely not being the Lord because of what they are doing and saying at all.

But this one I am not sure is of the devil. But niether was I there when it happened either. It was just something that Andrew Strom sent in one of his NL, he not being someone that is prone to believe much of anything as being from the Lord necessarily like this. Having sent out many warnings about some of the things that have gone on in this country as well as elsewhere that is ungodly before. If it wasn't for me knowing what kind of person he was, not taken to frivoulously thinking everything is of God that does happen, I would have ignored it totally myself. But knowing he isn't the kind to be taken in that easily at least, I did look at it possibly being a visitation from angels.

But at the same time, I also do not take things like this to never rule what I do either. Meaning I look, and sometimes share also, when I think it might be of the Lord concerning something like this. But to live by it, no way. Same as I consider prophecy given as well. Looking at it saying, it will either happen or it won't. Whether it be personal prophecy given to me, or prophecy given to everyone. Meaning we should not take things like this to heart where it does alter our lives either. Going off in some direction that is not of God because of it. meaning not to make more of it than we should. Which I see many doing because of experiences such as this or different they do have. And that is not wise at all.

And I advise everyone to do the same with both too. Which is what I think you did partly anyway. Except I took it you did think it was not of God at all by what you said. W Whereas I do believe it could possibly be, because of what scripture does verify that there are angels certainly, and at times even today, despite our even being filled with the Spirit, they still can appear possibly with warnings such as happened here just as they seemed to do before Christ. Just as they did do in Daniels day and before. The bible even says we can entertain angels unawares. meaning not even be aware that they are amgels also.

I don't know that we have a demon or an evil angel in the white house or not. But I will say I do believe he is one of those that John speaks of that is definitely coming from the antichrist spirit certainly.

Just my thoughts on this for what they are worth anyway.

Luv Sandy
