THE FRIDAY SPECIAL - Faeries | The “Elemental Spirits” (Colossians 2:8)

Theology Applied

NOTE

The Glory of Faith

The speaker emphasizes that everything in nature, even the most mundane things, are interconnected with spiritual matters. They believe that every visible thing points towards the unseen and engages us in an eternal realm. The presence of spiritual influences over geographic areas is considered possible to ensure the execution of God's will. The speaker acknowledges the temptation to anthropomorphize creation but stresses the importance of seeing it as praising God by fulfilling its intended purpose. They suggest that even existential feelings in certain places may hold significance. The idea that creation praises God is supported by biblical references, mentioning how all elements of nature are commanded to praise and accomplish His will. The speaker entertains the notion of spiritual beings overseeing natural elements like wind or trees in their worship of God. The concept is extended to celestial bodies like stars, some of which are believed to be fallen and worshipped in place of God.
