#2 Angels’ Preference, Proclivity and Responsiveness to ‘Saltiness’
#3 Their Preferred Means of Communication
That angels exist, many folks the world over believe,
But from that base, perceptions about them are frankly …wild!
We erroneously load them up with diverse human traits.
Many folks also believe devils exist to deceive.
Once holy angels in Heaven, they are all now exiled.
Sadly…
Many of us don’t relate our own evil to devils’ baits.
On Earth, angels are Heaven’s ‘special agents’,
Aligned with humans in a war that started imprudently,
In Heaven against forces of evil and darkness,
Against whom The Lord pronounced a harsh judgment.
Judgment execution is suspended …significantly. 1
Until it’s carried-out, angels promote righteousness.
In Heaven, holy angels were The Lord’s main line of defense,
Against angels in whom iniquity was found. 2
But when He signaled that, on Earth, the war would continue, 3
We became His main defensive line, in a very real sense!
Devils know their time is short. They’re lake of fire bound.
They want our company in their pending …judgment venue. 4
But sadly, most folks throughout human history,
Have demonstrated a strong preference and proclivity,
To align with Heaven’s enemies, than with Heaven, itself.
Therefore, through a lengthy, unfolding mystery,
The Lord sowed seeds for a new race all across humanity,
A warrior race that, when facing His enemy, wouldn’t melt. 5
Now, angels have a preference and strong proclivity,
To align with redeemed folks on The Lord’s side,
Folks He designates as spiritual salt of the Earth,
Whose spirit, in Christ re-born, aligns with The Trinity.
Working with us who in Jesus Christ abide,
Angels now serve us, whom some call His future bride, The Church’. 6
But just as angelic troops in Heaven were infiltrated,
Corrupting the one-third who became devils,
Much of The Church, writ large, is now corrupted.
From the exercise of free will that has been activated,
Against, not in favor of what The Lord wills,
Much of her saltiness has been …deducted. 7
Salt is used to preserve and also to destroy.
A key aspect in developing The Lord’s warrior race,
Is ‘…washing us with the water of His Word’. 8
(This may be like a brine bath some folks enjoy.)
Spending quality time in His Word, with Him, we interface.
That’s how to us, His saltiness is transferred.
The more on His Word you feed, and store in your heart and soul,
Increasingly and more potently salty you will become,
More clearly His voice you’ll hear,
Then, before our enemy, you’ll be more ardently bold,
And the more all spirits will know His voice that, through you, comes!!!
It’s HIS VOICE all spirits fear!!! 9
As angels hear The Lord’s voice, authoritatively in you,
They’ll know and respect you as …a son of The Almighty.
Then they will deploy to pull down devilish strongholds.
As they fight, they need: your strong faith and patience, daily renewed;
For your vocabulary to be one…of victory;
And for your Light within to disperse all doubt shadows.

4 See: Revelation 12:12.
5 See: 2 Corinthians 5:17. Ponder the parallels between (a) Hebrews freed from Egyptian slavery to fight and conquer Amorite tribes in the promised land, and (b) Christians freed from slavery to sin via spiritual re-birth in Christ, for spiritual warfare in the Earth.
