You’ve been in those boring staff meetings before, right? The excruciatingly long staff meetings. Staff meetings that make you want to go read some Leviticus, just to live a little. Yes, we’re all familiar with a staff meeting.

Did you know that Heaven has staff meetings? In fact, Heaven’s staff meetings are where the affairs of earth are dictated. They involve various spiritual beings who are assigned authority over various territories. And they all get together and hash out their plans. 

And unlike your workplace’s staff meetings, I’m sure the ones in heaven aren’t boring at all.

Now, perhaps you’re hearing all this and you’re thinking: I think if God had staff meetings, He would have told us something about it in the Bible.

And if that’s you, you’re in the right place. Because guess what: this is all through the Bible. So if you listen through to the end, I’m going to demonstrate three outlandish things, and you’re probably going to be skeptical that I can really do this, but give me a chance here. In the next 20 minutes, I’m going to prove:

1. That God has staff meetings to determine the affairs of man
2. That both good and evil spiritual beings are invited to attend and contribute at these meetings
3. That this is mentioned in various places of scripture

Pretty wild, right? But if you’re willing to listen until the end, I’ll back it all up with Bible.

And we’ll start with I Kings 22. Turn there in your bible, and let’s get weird.
