Spiritual Warfare Our Struggle Is Not Against Flesh & Blood But Against The World Forces Of This Darkness The Spiritual Forces Of Wickedness In The Heavenly Places (Ephesians 6:12)

2. Spiritual Warfare – Origin of Angels
In waging spiritual warfare, it is of benefit to have a basic understanding of the origin of angelic beings.
All things, including angels, were created by and for Jesus (Colossians 1:16).
The “sons of God” (i.e., angels) were present at the creation and, therefore, came into existence before time began (Job 38:4-7; 1:6).
Angels are of a higher “order” than man but minister (or serve) those in fellowship with God (Hebrews 2:6-8; 1:14).

3. Spiritual Warfare – Activity of Angels
The Bible presents a clear and convincing message concerning the fact that angels minister to Christians.
Angels are “fellow-servants” who engage in spiritual warfare with Satan and demons on our behalf (Revelation 22:9; 12:7-9; James 4:7).
This spiritual warfare includes their activity in the rise and fall of nations (Acts 17:26; Daniel 10:1-13, 20, 21; 12:1; 4:13, 17; 1 Timothy 2:1-4).
Angels have a keen interest in the progress of the church (Matthew 18:10; Ephesians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:12; 1 Timothy 5:21; Luke 15:7; 16:22).

4. Spiritual Warfare – Activity of Angels
Angels are active participants in the growth and development of the church.
During the infancy of the church, angels were active in the conversion of sinners (Acts 8:26; 10:1-4; cf. 2 Chronicles 16:9; Colossians 4:3).
As agents of providence, angels most certainly work for the betterment of God’s children (Acts 12:5ff.; Mark 1:13; Luke 22:43; 1 Peter 5:8-10).
We accept by faith that angels play a role in our eternal destiny (Psalms 91:1-4, 11, 12; Matthew 4:5-7; Romans 8:28, 35-39).

5. Spiritual Warfare – Activity of Angels
Angels will be present and involved in events surrounding the return of Christ.
Angels play a significant role in the execution of God’s judgment (Genesis 19:1, 12-14; 2 Samuel 24:15, 16; Revelation 8:1, 2, 6; 9:20, 21; 11:15; 14:17-20; Matthew 13:41, 42).
Angels will accompany Christ at His return (Matthew 13:36-43; 16:27; 25:31, 32).
The angels will not only work in the execution of judgment, but they will (with Christ) bring “relief” to the saved (1 Thessalonians 1:6-10).
