All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

New Angels in the Church

New Angels in the Church

In recent years, there has been an ever increasing interest in Angels, especially among church people. More and more you see references to angels in Christian book stores, on greeting cards, bumper stickers and referenced in christian books and magazines.

Along the way, Christians are foolishly buying into a new-ager concept that Angels are teachers and care-givers for humanity. Some now believe we should even pray to angels. Others talk about how angels “love” us.

But, nothing could be further from the truth.

To begin with, nowhere in the 66 books of the Word of God does it tell us Angels love us. Not once. If anything, it indicates that they marvel at God’s love for us. (as if to say “why would He waste His time with these wretched creatures?”). Angels are always depicted as being obedient to God, in faithfully delivering his message or providing protection to His faithful people, according to God’s command.

Warnings

What Scripture does tell us is to be wary of Angels, to be careful not to be deceived by disobedient Angels, who oppose Christ. In 2 Corinthians 11:14 it is very specific that Satan himself poses as an Angel of light seeking to deceive and confuse people. Indeed the entire chapter warns not to be led astray by deception prompted by the disobedient Angels. From beginning (Genesis) to end (Revelation) the Bible is filled with examples and warnings of how Satan is working to cheat us out of our inheritance by deception, leading people away from Christ toward a false Gospel.

Throughout scripture, it warns us not to be led astray by (disobedient) Angels. It tells us in 1 John 4:1-3 to test the spirits, to be sure they are not the spirit of anti-christ. (aka “another Christ” or a “false Christ”).

Disqualified by angel worship

This is nothing new. Satan isn’t very creative, he just keeps repackaging the same old lies. In Colossians 2:18, Paul warned the church about this very deception, where he said “Do not let anyone who delights in false humility and the worship of angels disqualify you. Such a person also goes into great detail about what they have seen; they are puffed up with idle notions by their unspiritual mind.” We can see this very tactic being used today, where people will boast about their spiritual encounters with angelic beings (sometimes referred to as avatars). These people will have great appearance of humility and spirituality, but in truth they do not teach Christ, nor love his Word.

Many major deceptions or false religions will invoke encounters with angels. Mormonism was started when Joseph Smith claims to encounter an angel. Just as Islam is started by Muhammad encountering an angel. If they were liars, it would be bad. If they told the truth and really did have an encounter with an angel it’s even worse – because their messages are clearly NOT from Christ. I’ve read of Hindu gurus having encounters with spirits also, as you will also find that shamans will invoke a spirit or angel. This is nothing to play around with. Demons will come when people call. But, they will not leave.

The false Therapeutic Gospel and Positive Awareness

These days, it is very popular to motivate people and try to repattern their broken thinking; it has taken hold within and without the church. It has an appeal, because so many people have a negative and destructive personal thought process. This new ager type of Gospel seeks to synthesize or syncretize the Gospel of Christ with other messages that seem to offer a positive repatterning of thought process. Yet, when you get to their core, the messages are very self-indulgent and unglodly. Giving a person a positive self image, while leaving them in a sinful and rebellious state of defiance toward God.

So, if we are ambassadors of Christ then we must be very careful not to fall into the trap of the false prophets of old, as in Jeremiah’s day; when those soothe-sayers spoke words of comfort, peace and affirmation to a nation that was disobedient to God. There is one Gospel and one high priest who alone is able to transform people in truth. Christ must be our message. Christ is the only message worthy of our time.

These new ager christians love messages that sound Godly and feel positive. But they do not have the mind of Christ. Their message cannot save, cannot truly transform a life, cannot restore the lost fellowship with God that humanity desperately needs. Let’s not let ourselves become misguided by their appealing and soothing words. For Satan truly does have fallen angels who lurk, seeking to take captive the minds of the weak and un-grounded person.

The Real Guide and Guru

Remember what Hebrews 12:1b-2 says "...let us run with patience the race that is set before us, Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God."

We look to Jesus. We need and want no other guide, guru or encourager. Jesus is our all in all. No other is worthy.
