Musings in Search of a Muse

Another question from my Bible study guide: Who do you say Jesus Christ is and why? My thoughts mirror Revelation 1:8 ("I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.") Jesus is my savior and Lord. He is the source and end of my being. A brother and a friend. A father and a confident. Both my conscience and the source of my consciousness.
 
I just need to remember all this much more often.
 
Maybe I don't hear the voices that remind me of this. Anyone who has read this blog (other than me ... raise your hand(s)) may recall that I "hear voices" that put inappropriate thoughts in my head, especially when I'm trying to behave. Not good for one who is easily persuaded and led. Why aren't I hearing the "good" voices? I know they are there.
 
Makes me think of a novel that a good friend lent to me. I forget the name and author (really, though, it was good), but I remember the premise. Angels and demons do have interactions with people, though not always on a perceptible level. A demon may, for example, clamp it's hands on someone's ears to prevent them from hearing the Word or stab it's sword at an ankle to make someone trip. Angels have the same power in the book, by the way, and both are empowered by the sins (in the case of demons, obviously) or prayers (for angels, of course) by people.
 
This struck a chord with me because, as you may recall, I've long believed in demonic influence. I'm just grateful to the Lord that I've come to believe in Heavenly power, too. Here's praying that you have.
