How does the invisible ministry of guardian angels make you feel?

That God created ministering spirits to mediated by angels is comforting. While one part of the invisible world is fighting against me, it stands to reason another invisible force is fighting/ministering to me.

Honestly, I’m really unconcerned about it. There is nothing I can do except pray and try to stay conscious of how God wants me to live my life. Try to put on the full armor of God so when the attack comes I can be ready. But I’m not gonna lose sleep over an invisible battle of angles and demons that I can do nothing to control. Just keep being thankful to God for my life

Why did Satan become a fallen angel? How does this explain his current activity in the world?

He rebelled against God. Satan wouldn’t submit to God because his pride wouldn’t let him. Satan became a fallen angel when he was cast from heaven.

Because he rebelled against God by wanting to ascend to His throne. Because pride was found in his heart and he wanted to take God’s place he was cast out of heaven and lost his role as the most powerful of all angels. Satan hates God and is attacking the pinnacle of God’s creation man, by causing man to rebel against God and prohibit them bringing God glory. Satan wants to destroy all that God has made so he is attacking humans and creation.

Satan rebelled against God. Satan did not want to submit himself to God’s authority. In committing sin he fell. He wants us to join in his rebellion and sin against God. Satan was and is, focused on himself and tries to get us to focus on ourselves. In taking our eyes off God and looking to ourself, we drift away from him.

Satan’s pride did not allow him to submit to God’s authority and wanted to be equal to Him. He rebelled and was cast out of Heaven with his minions.
Beacause he was cast out, Satans mission is now to destroy God’s people any way he can. This includes temptation, false doctrine, possession of non-believers etc. -
Satan is a powerful angel who rebelled against God. He and the other fallen angels who joined in his rebellion can provoke the worst abilities and desires within us. They willingly dominate those who refuse to surrender their hearts to God.
