Slandering Celestial Beings

2 Peter 2:10b “bold and arrogant, these men are not afraid to slander celestial beings,”

            Lord, Peter is really outlining in these verses all that false teachers would present as truth.  They will say that they are of the Lord, but deny the very One who bought them.  They include just enough truth, just like their father Satan, to make them sound credible while they, subtly at first and then boldly, bring heresy.  Satan would cause them to slander the celestial beings because of his rage and rebellion in heaven.  Only one third of the angels followed him, so he hates and sees as enemies the two thirds who are true to God and the Savior.  Lord, there are no boundaries to his evilness.  He is the one who deludes his followers and raises up these false teachers.  He always derides and discredits the Father, You, the holy angels, and all those who truly follow You.

            However; without reading and studying Your whole word, one might not “know” our enemy and believe his lies.  That is why I must constantly study to know Your Truth, so as not to fall prey to his lies or the lies of those “preachers” who teach heresy!

            Thank You, Lord, for not leaving me on my own to wonder about You and Your Truth, but through inspiration had this love letter written to me so I could live the life You intended and be blessed not accursed.
