Walking With Angels

In what ways are we to think like angels? I was shocked to learn that so many were offended by my statement that "we are to think like angels", as if the mere idea was blasphemy; but again I say to you, unless we can begin to throw off our old habitual ways of thinking, and begin to walk in the holiness and steadfastness exhibited in angels, we will not survive the days ahead. The church must undergo total reformation of our thoughts, and conform our minds to the mind of Christ, walking as angels walk under the unction and obedience to the Holy Spirit. Of course we are not to worship or focus our lives on angels, but we can learn by their example, and one of their greatest examples is a life based on holiness. These angelic beings, who live and dwell in the presence of God, would never dream of committing an act of sin or walking short of the glory of God, because it would cost them the anointing and their intimate fellowship with the Holy Spirit. We must live the same way, a life of purity and holiness if we are to dwell in the presence of God. We must learn to think the same way if we are to overcome in the days ahead, taking our orders not from man, but directly from the Throne, whereas it is important that we will be at the right place at the right time during some of the coming judgments which are about to manifest. The greatest place of refuge cannot be found on a map, but is a life of purity, holiness and intimacy with God.
