ANGELIC AFFIRMATION
ANGELIC AFFIRMATION
By Rev. Dr. Larry Delano Coleman
Tuesday, September 16, 2014
Meeting angels unawares is a wonderful experience. We’ve all met them, sans halos, at some time or another; often, when and where we’ve least expected them.
Of course, we have also encountered those whom appeared to us to be “angels of light,” but who were really “ravening wolves.”
Discerning the angels from the wolves is guess-work without angelic affirmation, proof.
Angels come to minister unto you. Wolves come but to lie to and to deceive you.
By their works, their deeds you shall know how to distinguish them; not by words or representations, however, flattering.
Deeds distinguish.
“Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show you my faith by my works,” James 2:18. Now that is angelic affirmation.
