I believe in angels and have felt them near. Some of you have as well.
As in ancient times, Prophets and other messengers of God were ridiculed for their teachings and beliefs. That is because those beliefs were often in stark contrast to the 'teachings' of this world and the 'god' of this world. Well...he who claims to be the God of this world? Yes, it is the adversary himself. And, he certainly does think that he has power. Inasmuch as people heed his whisperings, then, he does have power over them. This just brings sadness, corruption, heartache, misery and pain. We don't often recognize that because he is also called 'the great deceiver.'
One of the things that most sets us apart from other churches today is our belief in continual revelation and the need for the Lord to actually guide us in this day and age - just as he did the former saints in their time periods.
We don't seem to question that the Bible and different books in it - were written for those people in their several locations, circumstances, and even languages. Yet, we think to question that God would speak to us now and personally. But, I don't.
