Problems with Angels and Holy Spirit Response and Podcast
A document with the heading, “MAIN PROBLEMS WITH ANGELS/HS DOCTRINE” was sent to me while I was in Ethiopia. I was finishing a series of meeting with a group of believers there, so on the way home (during times of thought in the long flights and layovers), I decided to respond to it. The document was full of assumptions and accusations of what I have taught from the Bible. I was surprised at the conclusions, so am happy to layout a more correct view in light of the assertions.
Here is the response document: Holy Spirit and Angels Response by Daniel Mesa-2.
Please ask questions if clarification is needed.
Also, a friend of mine put together an AI podcast of the document, and I thought it to be a very good overview. Consider this also if you’d like […]

Angels Studies with Daniel Mesa
Here are a few studies on the angels, and there may be more to come. =)
“In the Word of God are represented two contending parties that influence and control human agencies in our world. Constantly these parties are working with every human being. Those who are under God’s control and who are influenced by the heavenly angels will be able to discern the crafty workings of the unseen powers of darkness. Those who desire to be in harmony with the heavenly agencies should be intensely in earnest to do God’s will. They must give no place whatever to Satan and his angels.” 18LtMs, Ms 95, 1903, par. 9
