What does the Assemblies of God teach regarding angels and demons?

The Assemblies of God teaches that angels are ministering spirits created by God to serve His purposes and assist believers. This perspective is supported by various biblical references that describe angels as agents of God's will, delivering messages, providing protection, and offering guidance to humans.

In this teaching, demons are understood as fallen angels who rebelled against God. Their existence is a result of their choice to turn away from God and His authority. This viewpoint emphasizes the reality of spiritual warfare and the ongoing battle between good and evil, where demons seek to oppose God’s work and lead humanity away from Him.

This understanding aligns with theological principles found in scripture, such as Ephesians 6:12, which speaks of a struggle against spiritual forces of evil, affirming that while angels serve God and His people, demons actively work against them. By acknowledging the distinct roles of angels and demons, the Assemblies of God provides a framework for understanding spiritual realities that affect believers' lives and the importance of reliance on God’s power in the face of spiritual opposition.
