Angels...Quantum Travelers

There's been a lot written about angels in the last few years. Who are they really, and what do they have to do with Christians?
Messengers, Protectors, Providers
We see angels on many occasions in the Word. When they've appeared, it's as though the veil is lifted between the spirit and the natural, and we're given a glimpse of the Kingdom of God. They appeared throughout both the Old and New Covenants, as messengers, protectors and providers. Remember the three Hebrews in the furnace, or Daniel in the lion's den? Jacob's ladder?

God Is Good...No, Really!

Yes, God is good. Not good as in "He'll make you suffer to teach you something" or "He loves you but..." or "He loves you but sometimes the answer is 'No.'"
I'm talking about really good. Good like you want Him to be, like you long for Him to be...
I know that this is a hard concept to grasp. Culture and religion have told us that He's watching from a distance, that we have to earn His favor, that sometimes He gives and sometimes He takes away.
Get this. God IS love [1 John 4:16]...He doesn't have love, He IS love. He has already blessed with every spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ [Ephesians 1:3], and has placed Himself within every reborn spirit [John 14:23]. We are One Spirit with the Lord [1 Corinthians 6:17] and He's not withholding from Himself.

You Haven't Lost Your Faith...You've Been Deceived [Repost]

I woke up yesterday knowing that we can be deceived only in our minds...our spirits are full of God, and our bodies are physical only and as such cannot be deceived.

The battlefield is in the mind. Re-read this post [below]...remember, you can be transformed by the renewing of your mind! [Romans 12:2] Trust your reborn spirit, which is One Spirit with the Lord...trust Him with all your heart and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight! [1 Corinthians 6:17, Proverbs 3:5,6]
