Question

Do angels and demons fight?

Answer

Yes, they really do. They just fight like mad all the time. Read Daniel, God sent and angel down there to do something and a demon withstood him and God finally...this angel couldn’t get past the demons, so God finally got Michael and said, "Michael you go get that demon." And Michael went down there and got that demon out of the way, which tells me something about the fact that there are different levels of angels. Some of them can handle certain things others can’t handle. But when Michael comes, he’s super angel. And by the way there’s going to be a big war of the angels and the demons, and the holy angels win. So we have nothing to fear about Satan’s hosts.
