“Beware of fallen angels. They lie with a brilliance you cannot match.”

Amen. But let’s get real honest here. Once you start communing with the spirit world, it’s very hard to return because your entire belief system is being undermined and corrupted through pride.

Paul spoke of those who were puffed up in their sensuous minds, going on in great detail about visions. I’ve encountered many, some very convincing. To be a drab person of faith, believing without seeing, always looks dull next to the soothsayer and their visions.

They pay a heavy price for opening that door, though!

True, "Beware of fallen angels. They lie with a brilliance you cannot match." But they are no match for the Holy Spirit that works through me. My strength comes through my weakness as if I were full of myself, and think I were strong, then I would be no match. But in my weakness, my Lord Jesus will fill me and protect me.

Many have mistaken satan as an Angel of God, But many more have refuted Angels sent by God by mistakenly thinking they were sent by satan. That's why distinguishing between spirits is critically important and is included in the scriptures as a spiritual gift:

1 Corinthians 12 New International Version (NIV)

Concerning Spiritual Gifts

12 Now about the gifts of the Spirit, brothers and sisters, I do not want you to be uninformed. 2 You know that when you were pagans, somehow or other you were influenced and led astray to mute idols.

3 Therefore I want you to know that no one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, “Jesus be cursed,” and no one can say, “Jesus is Lord,” except by the Holy Spirit.

4 There are different kinds of gifts, but the same Spirit distributes them. 5 There are different kinds of service, but the same Lord. 6 There are different kinds of working, but in all of them and in everyone it is the same God at work.

7 Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit a message of wisdom, to another a message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by that one Spirit, 10 to another miraculous powers, to another prophecy, to another distinguishing between spirits, to another speaking in different kinds of tongues, and to still another the interpretation of tongues. 11 All these are the work of one and the same Spirit, and he distributes them to each one, just as he determines.

I send a prayer to Our Father as I write this post that He fills your heart with Love. Do not hold onto fear, as you cannot be filled with the Holy Spirit when full of fear. It's that simple as the fear and Love cannot exist in the same space. The perfect Love of the Holy Spirit casts out fear. When filled with the Holy Spirit, you can walk through the "Valley of the Shadow of Death" and fear no evil for thy Lord is your shepherd.

I do not fear satan or his minions. To do so would lower me to his level and he would have power over me. Accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and allow the Holy Spirit to enter you. As also with the Holy Spirit come many gifts, the greatest of which is the experience of God's Love through His Son Jesus.

Many who have fallen asleep in Christ are lost. Be on your guard and stand firm in the faith. Be also courageous and be strong. But always remember, DO EVERYTHING IN LOVE
