Of course, angels
do exist, both the holy and un-,
And both groups serve
as their captain’s messenger.
Here is a question worth
pondering that just might stun:
Between an angel and you, who
is mightier?
The captain of holy
angels is Jesus, Savior.
He’s the chief subject in the Bible and its
gospels.
satan, captain of
devils, once known as lucifer,
Became and remains captain
of un-holy angels. 1
There is no doubt,
angels and devils are mighty!
With powers that
overwhelm our wildest imagination,
Expressed spiritually
and physically.
But compared to us,
their powers warrant investigation.
Since there is only
one source that is exhaustive,
On powers to
angels-versus-us, distributive,
Then about what it
has to say, let’s be pensive.
The Bible is that only
source, authoritative!
Angels, created to serve
God and humans elect,
We, who to His plan
of salvation, would subscribe,
Who in Jesus Christ
are saved from lives that were sin-wrecked,
And to whom
righteousness in Christ would be ascribed. 2
But all devil angels
use their powers to deceive,
To swell the number
of humans to join their ranks,
To be company in
God’s judgments devils received, 3
But their powers
are like bullets …that are blanks!
Imagine such
powerful beings, eternal,
Who, both in Heaven
and Earth, details of life observe,
Equipped to twist
and bend many laws physical,
But who, by The
Lord, are limited to …trick-or-serve.
Mankind, apex of
God’s earthly creations,
Is ranked just
below God, not angels as thought! 4
In every facet of
life’s known dimensions,
Rank indicates power and might, we are
taught!
Paul, the Apostle,
after a tour of Heaven,
Wrote that saints
will judge angels. That time is coming!
Whether this
applies to all, or just those darkened,
Is not clear, but the inference is mind-boggling! 5
Yep, angels may be
so much mightier than us!
But they are
limited to serve or to trick us!
In God’s hierarchy,
they are ranked below us!
And in coming days,
they/some will be judged by us!
So, within God’s
construct of life’s design,
You both out-rank
and thus have more power than they.
Let this insight
change your life’s paradigm,
By letting it
change your thoughts and the words you say.
Here’s why…
Angels who serve you
only hearken to God’s Word,
Whether in faith it
is He or we who speak it. 6
Devils who trick you must hearken to your own words.
To us the choice is
…to be wise or a dimwit! 7

1 See: Isaiah 14:12-15, the sin and
fall of lucifer, former musical angel of light
2 See: Hebrews 1:7, which interprets
and clarifies the grammatical object of Psalm 104:4
3 The devil, who deceived [tricked] them, was cast into the lake
of fire and brimstone [to] be
tormented day and night forever and ever. And anyone not found written in
the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire. (Revelation 20:10, 15) [This is a vision Jesus gave to His apostle/disciple, John, of a distant future event.]
4 See: Psalm 8:5 (Amplified and Young’s Literal translations). Then ponder why so many other versions of the Bible got this particular verse so horribly WRONG!
5 See: 1 Corinthians 6:3
6 See: Psalm 103:20. See also: Working With Angels (Series)
7 See: Ephesians 5:15. ‘Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine
brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many
to righteousness, [will shine] like
the stars forever and ever. Many will be purged, purified [made righteous] and refined, but the wicked will behave wickedly.
None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are [spiritually] wise (i.e., not dimwits) will understand.’ (Daniel 12:3,10)
