Hebrews 1: 1 - 14
1 Going through a long line of prophets, God has been addressing our ancestors in different ways for centuries. 2 Recently he spoke to us directly through his Son. By his Son, God created the world in the beginning, and it will all belong to the Son at the end. 3 This Son perfectly mirrors God, and is stamped with God's nature. He holds everything together by what he says - powerful words!
The Son Is Higher than Angels 4 far higher than any angel in rank and rule. 5 Did God ever say to an angel, "You're my Son; today I celebrate you"? Or, "I'm his Father, he's my Son"? 6 When he presents his honored Son to the world, he says, "All angels must worship him." 7 Regarding angels he says, The messengers are winds, the servants are tongues of fire. 8 But he says to the Son, You're God, and on the throne for good; your rule makes everything right. 9 You love it when things are right; you hate it when things are wrong. That is why God, your God, poured fragrant oil on your head, Marking you out as king, far above your dear companions. 10 And again to the Son, You, Master, started it all, laid earth's foundations, then crafted the stars in the sky.
11 Earth and sky will wear out, but not you; they become threadbare like an old coat; 12 You'll fold them up like a worn-out cloak, and lay them away on the shelf. But you'll stay the same, year after year; you'll never fade, you'll never wear out. 13 And did he ever say anything like this to an angel? Sit alongside me here on my throne Until I make your enemies a stool for your feet. 14 Isn't it obvious that all angels are sent to help out with those lined up to receive salvation?

Ever think of angel worship? And what is worship anyway? Attending to one person, thought, idea, activity more than all others. Giving the last word of consideration to. Living one’s life around and for. Regarding higher than others. Devoting to. Remember angels are both of the nature of God and of the nature of satan. We see a lot of the nature of satanic angels in our world, because they have fallen from the heavenlies and try to rule here, because they could not rule the way they desired to rule there. Their desire has not changed and this is the realm they govern when allowed or when given power to by us, or when attended to in idea, activity or thought. What have we given our thoughts to? That we worship. Ever hear "You are what you eat?" What is "eating"? Taking in and making to become a part of my life. Taking from what is outside and putting it inside of my being, therefore becoming one with my being and my life. What have I taken in from the "outside" that I’ve mulled over on the inside and "eaten"? Is it heaven’s manna, or the world’s bread dished out for me in great and free portions? What have I "swallowed"? "Consumed"? Or what has "consumed" me? Has my faith-walk been given increase by it, or decreased and possibly been threatened? Am I being well served in my walk of salvation by forces I perceive greater than I, or am I being warred against in my relationship with God? If it is warring against me, I must give it/them NO place. God has sent me here to take back "land" for the furtherance of His kingdom. My life is being used by God to take back this land, and so is yours, when you become aware of it and stand for no other occupied spaces. Do we know who we are? Whos we are? If we are seated with Him, in the heavenlies, far above ALL principalities/powers/mights/dominions AND Christ is IN us, so that He and I are ONE as He and the Father are NE, than who am I? I am one who has been given dominion by God, stewardship of the souls of the earth. (Gen 1:28, Mk 16:15-17) Do I believe the risen Lord Jesus Christ is in me or not? I show what I believe by the way I "eat", the way I live, the way I talk, how I fellowship Him, if I do or don’t, it shows what or how I believe. There are more who are with us than those who are with "them", Amen !
