"POWERS of the SECOND SPHERE - CHRISTIAN HIERARCHY"

Powers are the warrior angels who work through love instead of fear. Call them when you are in trouble or need to identify another's hidden agenda. They will bring clarity to your assessment of a puzzling situation. These angels will defend your home, property, children, or any group of people who call on them for protection and defense.

"IF YOU CAN'T HEAR THE ANGELS, TRY QUIETING THE STATIC OF WORRY. ~ TERRI GUILLEMENTS"


PA:
The first featured angel on the second sphere - the Powers or Authorities. At first, I thought that, Powers are associated only with strength and might.  Powers are also called Authorities  mainly because they are related with influence and control. They record everything, keep track of the times gone by and guard those who call upon them. Powers also are in charge of carrying one's ethics. They see to it that principles and morals values are being reminded every now and then. People who tend to disregard their conscience, technically, makes the duties of the Powers more challenging.

CI:
The "Powers" (lat. potestas (f), pl. potestates), or "Authorities", from the Greek exousies, (see Greek root in Eph 3:10) appear to collaborate, in power and authority, with the Principalities (Rulers).

The Powers are the bearers of conscience and the keepers of history. They are also the warrior angels created to be completely loyal to God. Some believe that no Power has ever fallen from grace, but another theory states that Satan was the Chief of the Powers before he Fell (see also Ephesians 6:12). Their duty is to oversee the distribution of power among humankind, hence their name.

Paul used the term rule and authority in Ephesians 1:21, and rulers and authorities in Ephesians 3:10. He may have been referring to the rulers and authorities of humanity, instead of referring to angels.
