Parking Lot Angels

I am convinced that the largest portion of angels must hang out in parking lots. The reason I say this… Drivers follow rules on the road (well they are policed to follow rules) anyhow people stay within the lines and speed limits right? People at least are watching what is going on around them on the road. But when people come into a parking lot FORGET THE RULES! It is like when a driver turns into a parking lot (convenient store, grocery store ect.) they get a wild look in their eye, hair grows from their knuckles and fangs appear. It seems drivers unbuckle the seat belts, stomp the gas to the floor and pay no attention to anything around them AAHHHH I am in the parking lot and there are NO RULES!!. I know that is stretching it or is it? So because there are so few wrecks in parking lots or at least reported on the news or in our daily realm of awareness angels must be watching over parking lots. Maybe there is a special news station for parking lot wrecks and I just haven’t found the station yet. In our Spiritual lives, we need to realize that we are being watched everywhere we go and are told by God to always be living perfect Mat 5:48. The main road example would be like the life of the Christian at church and around certain people (being careful watching how they act and speak) . The Parking lot attitude Christian example would be like when you are out of town around strangers or around co workers and compromised actions are so easy to take part in. There are places where you will be tempted by the enemy to compromise but don’t do it! As Gods people whether we are on the main road or in a parking lot we should always be praying to be all He wants us to be. If we do not use the Jesus power, we will also be looking like we are driving crazy (our lives have no control)? We need to be different and focused there is no lack of power in Jesus Name we just need to reach out and use it 1Cor.10:13. Recognizing evil and stopping before the failure takes place is one of the key elements to living TVP total victory perspective. God’s people have been given the Spirit to drive right on the road and in the parking lots of life. The power of the Spirit is given to any who call on the name of the Son of God (Jn 3:16) and then you are a new creation given all power to live the life of holiness. When we take our free choice to accept God’s gift to wash away sin and allow you to be a new creation, we are now empowered to live the righteous life through Jesus Christ. You are in Christ then you are now made holy, learn the TVP and be an example to the individuals around you. The Power of Jesus is more than enough against the devils schemes. TVP learn it, live it, share it!

  1. I can see how the parking lot could be a very useful analogy to everyday life. Much like the real world, the parking lot consists of people acting either with kindess or selfishness. At any givement moment you can be witness to both. At one end of the parking lot a man stops and waves on a woman and her children to assure the cross safely and smiles. At the other end a car swerves into a spot a gentleman had been waiting for before the car arrived. Words and gestures of sin are exchanged.It is a constant struggle between the angels and demons in our lives. Those who accept Jesus and try to act as he did live happier and more fulfilling lives. I would much rather smile at those who cross my way. They smile back!
