Do I Need Angels To Bring Me Blessings? - TGC Africa

WATCH: What does the Bible really say angels are? And what happens when you go wrong on angels?

africa.thegospelcoalition.org In Uganda, angels are often believed to be good spirit beings, sent by God to release blessings for the believer. But the Bible teaches something different.

www.ACFAR.org

“To gain trust, the ‘man of God’ will make you feel that you are lacking something that only he can provide. He seeks to render you helpless and make you hang on his every word—since he makes no mistakes! He perverts Scripture to suit his desires, and creates the illusion that God can only speak to you through him. Once your trust is gained, he preaches ‘love’ by force, demonstrated through a sexual relationship (one of the conditions of the ‘help’ rendered to you). Unfortunately, you are only useful for a season, and once his use for you is done he is on to the next prey. Further, he uses threats and twists the gospel to convince you to keep silent about what you’ve endured. The fake pastor seeks to make you feel indebted to him for whatever he has done for you, his victim, and may even try to make you feel honored to have been used by him.” STOP THE ABUSE—GET THE PAMPHLET HERE:
