Re: Demons and the believer

The last element of spiritual warfare I wish to mention is the ministry of angels. The ministry of angels includes, but is not limited to, the following:
They praise God (Psalm 148:1, 2; Isaiah 6:3).
They worship God (Hebrews 1:6; Revelation 5:8-13).
They rejoice in what God does (Job 38:6-7).
They serve God (Psalm 103:20; Revelation 22:9).
They appear before God (Job 1:6; Job 2:1).
They protect God's elect (Psalm 91:11; Matthew 18:10; Psalm 34:7).
They are instruments of God's judgments (Revelation 7:1; Revelation 8:2).
They bring answers to prayer (Acts 12:5-10).
They serve the redeemed (Hebrews 1:14).
They aid in winning people to Christ (Acts 8:26; Acts 10:3).
They preach the gospel (Revelation 14:6).
They have a degree of control over the natural elements (Revelation 7:1).
They observe and defend Christian order, work, and suffering (1 Corinthians 4:9; I Corinthians 11:10; Ephesians 3:10; 1 Peter 1:12).
They encourage in times of danger (Acts 27:23, 24).
They carry the souls of the righteous to Heaven after death (Luke 16:22).
They encourage and strengthen those experiencing trial (Matthew 4:11; Luke 22:43 )
They engage evil spiritual forces who oppose us and our prayers (Daniel 10:3; Daniel 10:13)
Angels can be called upon to respond in regards to protection, bringing judgment, bringing answers to prayer, assisting in winning people to Christ, affecting the natural elements, defending the Christian work, to offer encouragement to the weary, in carrying the souls of the redeemed to Heaven, and to engage unseen spiritual forces we might be unaware of. So, if you feel impressed by the Holy Spirit to call upon angels to assist you, do so.

More can be said about the ministry of angels. In fact, entire books could be written about many of the things I’ve briefly touched upon.
