WE ARE CREATED HIGHER THAN SATAN OR ANGELS

Remember, we are created higher than Satan or Angels. Why? (NLT) Gen. 1:27 So God created people in his own image; God patterned them after himself; male and female he created them. If that is true, then we became higher then Satan, himself. Although, (NLT) Luke 10:18 “Yes,” he told them, “I saw Satan fall from heaven like lightning! Satan is a master deceiver; he came to deceive, to destroy and to kill. Satan knows he cannot harm God, because he was defeated when our Lord Jesus was crucified at the cross. The Lord Jesus said, “IT IS FINISHED!” He knows we are created in the image of God. He will pick on us, if we let him. Satan hates all that God created, mostly man. However, if we have our Lord Jesus Christ within our hearts and believe in Him, that He is the Son of God, then we have nothing to fear of Satan and his followers.
 
For true Christian believers, we have been given authority from God as written in (NLT) Luke 10:19-20. And I have given you authority over all the power of the enemy, and you can walk among snakes and scorpions and crush them. Nothing will injure you. 20 but don’t rejoice just because evil spirits obey you; rejoice because your names are registered as citizens of heaven.
 
Today (5/30/10), I have an appointment to bless an existing home for a family at 7:00 PM. As I have mentioned in my previous Internet Church Topics, the most ideal time to bless the home is during the evening, because we are dealing with the “Rulers of Darkness.” The demonic spirits don’t like the sunlight they want the darkness. People have asked me, why the darkness? Sometimes, I answer their question in a humorous way. I told them, because the demonic spirits like to go shopping during the night! They started to laugh about it. Sometimes, they have asked me, Pastor Jimmy, how can we prevent the demonic spirits from grabbing or touching us? Once again, in a humorous way, I answer by saying when the supermarket has cooking oil on sale, buy a gallon of it. When you feel something try to grab you, immediately apply the cooking oil all over you so you become very slippery and they can’t grab you at all. Then, I started to laugh about it. Some of them said, O’ Pastor Jimmy, you are so funny and then they all starting to laugh about it. I have used these humorous jokes, because many times the family seems to be frightened and all tensed up, so I try to make the whole family relax and be calm. Many times, it has worked.
 
Now, let’s get back to the words again. Okay? Amen! Angels are the messengers from God. Remember when Mary, the Mother of Jesus, was to conceive by the Holy Spirit and an angel delivered this message to Mary. Also remember about Lot, the nephew of Abraham, the angels warned Lot to move his family out of Sodom and Gomorrah. The people of Sodom and Gomorrah were doing sinful things and finally God had to destroy the city.

Today, you may also use the angels to do some of your work for you such as asking the angels to escort any unclean or demonic spirits to the pits of hell, also you can tell the angels to stand guard at the four corner of your property, to prevent any unclean spirits from entering into your property and home, in Jesus Mighty Name.
 
We should be very grateful, that God has created us in His own image, so I personally know we are higher than angels or any demonic spirits, unless you let the demonic spirits take control over you, then they will take the opportunity to do that.
 
I pray this message is very informative to you.
