So… who wants to talk about the fallen angels, aka: DEMONS? Don't worry, our aim isn’t to freak you out, but to demystify the origin of evil, explain why the devil and demons even exist, expose their insidious agenda – AND encourage you to JOYFULLY walk out your God-given SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY! This topic isn’t often covered, but we feel it’s essential for Christians to understand the supernatural realm in order to withstand the spiritual warfare coming against us on a daily basis. We also offer the biblical perspective on tarot cards, fortune telling, and shaman type healings — because even Christians are tempted to dabble in these activities “for fun”, not realizing the spiritual connotations or repercussions. Listen to the end for prayer, verses, and suggestions -- and check out extra resources on this topic below. Let's jump in! (Series: Supernatural Realm Part 2)

VICTORIOUS VERSES:
1 Peter 5:8-9 - “Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.”
James 4:7 - “Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.”
Luke 10:19 - “I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome ALL the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.”

NOVO SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY COHORT
https://novo.org/sacohort
This is a great way to learn about your spiritual authority as a Christian. These cohorts are available in person at churches in your area OR online and are FREE! We highly recommend how they frame spiritual warfare, listening prayer, healing prayer, declarative prayer, and priestly prayer. The curriculum takes you from authority over your personal life to authority over your neighborhood and region. They use many of the books and authors we’ve recommended over the years. So check it out!

So, inspired by our own episodes on the gift of tongues, Autumn decided to do a “tongues experiment” and increase the amount of time she prayed in tongues daily. The almost instant results blew her away! She and Danica discuss the supernatural power of both tongues and “regular” prayer to transform you and impact the world around you - your home, your neighborhood, your work, your school, your state, your nation, and on and on. Also, stay to the end and join Danica in a 5 + 5 Prayer Challenge!

Once again we reference the Jackie Pullinger book, CHASING THE DRAGON, which we highly recommend. https://a.co/d/aW3hag9

Did you know you live in a SUPERNATURAL SPIRITUAL REALM? And that not only do angels and demons exist, but that they actively impact YOU on a DAILY basis? How much do you know about angels? Do angels actually have wings -- or not? Do we each have our own guardian angel -- or not? Are angels the same as cherubim -- or different? Also, is it true that someday YOU will actually judge the angels? Well, if all these questions pique your interest, then join us for today’s episode, where we cover the big juicy topic of ANGELS: WHO they are and HOW they impact believers’ lives.

In addition to explaining how angels were created and function, we share stories about real angel encounters and give tips on how to pray to Jesus to mobilize His angels on the behalf of your family, friends, coworkers, fellow students, community, and state – as well as to partner with Jesus and His angels to further God’s Kingdom here on earth.

We hope this episode empowers you and encourages you during this unsettling time in human history!

(And stay tuned for upcoming episodes on our power over the fallen angels (aka: demons) and the spiritual gift of discerning the spirits — timely reminders of our spiritual authority in Christ, no matter what surrounds or attacks us!)

Here are just a handful of the hundreds of instances of angels appearing in 34 of the 66 books of the Bible:
2 Kings 6:17 (Elisha & the chariots of fire); Daniel 6:22 (Daniel in the lions’ den); Matthew 4:11 (Jesus after being tempted); Luke 1:26 (Angel Gabriel & Mary); Luke 2:13 (Shepherds); Acts 5:19-20 (Apostles in prison); Acts 8:26 (Philip & Ethiopian eunuch); Acts 10:1 (Cornelius)

VERSES about the protection of angels:
Psalm 34:7 - The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, and He delivers them.
Psalm 91:11 - For He will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways…
Hebrews 1:14 - Are not all angels ministering spirits sent to serve those who will inherit salvation?
