When we think about the spirit world, it is possible to spend all our time thinking about the "black hats." πThat's what Dr. Mike Heiser calls the dark forces in the demonic realm. To be true, it is important to know we have a spiritual enemy and to know how to walk in victory over darkness.
However, it is important to also understand our allies. πͺ The problem with this is much of what the average Christian knows about angels comes from pop-culture πΊ and not the Bible.
Below are two videos.
One is a promo and the other is part one of a series on angels. In this study, Dr. Heiser wades through many topics concerning angels. Perhaps you will find answers to questions like:
- Does everyone have a guardian angel?
- What do we get wrong about angels? (spoiler alert: angels don't look like babies with wings.)
- What do angels look like?
- Do all angels have wings?
- Is the word "angel" just a job description? If so, what different types of angels are there?
- Did the devil start out as an angel?
I hope you enjoy because, as we are learning in our current series on Matthew, "The more we dig, the more we find."
