The World Is Actually READY For The Antichrist

do you hear that those are footsteps the footsteps of the most Sinister man that will ever walk this Earth and if you look closely if you listen carefully if you study God's word diligently you will see the signs the Antichrist is coming the groundwork is being laid in this world and it's only a matter of time until he is revealed but before I get to him let me tell you that throughout history the world has seen many evil men there was Cain the first person to commit murder on the earth and his victim was his

own flesh and blood his brother Abel then there was Pharaoh a cruel man with a hard and stubborn heart Pharaoh was a man that repeatedly refused to release the Israelites From Slavery even while experiencing Supernatural plagues from God these 10 plagues included water turning to blood an outbreak of frogs an outbreak of lice and and flies Darkness covering the entire land and the most frightening of those plagues was to do with the angel of death but despite all of this Pharaoh's heart remained evil and hardened and there's even Judas a man who the Bible explicitly

States in Luke 22:3 that Satan entered into Judas called Iscariot who was of the number of the 12 Satan entered Judas he became possessed by the devil and betrayed Jesus but there is a man who is yet to be revealed who will be far more evil than every biblical villain since the Book of Genesis the Bible tells us in Daniel 7:25 that he will speak against the most high and oppress his holy people and try to change the set times and the laws the holy people will be delivered into his hands for a time times

and half a Time the Antichrist will literally oppose Jesus Christ in every way if you think it's hard to be a Christian now then the persecution that Christians will see when the Antichrist is in power will be unimaginable now I want to read a few verses and then we can dive into the meaning of these Revelation 13:1 Begins by saying the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and I saw a beast coming out of the sea it had 10 horns and seven heads with 10 crowns on its horns and on each head a

Blasphemous name the dragon is the devil it's Satan himself and we know this because in Revelation 20:2 the Bible clearly says he seized the dragon that ancient serpent who is the devil or Satan and bound him for a thousand years so back to Revelation 13 the dragon stood on the shore of the sea and then a beast came out of the sea this Beast is widely believed by many biblical Scholars to be the Antichrist and here's why as I read chapter 13 I want you to listen to the power and ability given to this Beast

I won't focus so much on the symbolism described in the chapter but I want us to focus on what the Bible says this Beast will do in the world verse 4 to8 reads people worshiped the dragon because he had given authority to the Beast and they also worshiped the Beast and asked who is like the Beast who can wage war against it the Beast was given a mouth to utter proud words and blasphemies and to exercise its Authority for 42 months it opened its mouth to blaspheme God and to slander his name and his dwelling

place and those who live in heaven it was given power to wage war against God's holy people and to conquer them and it was given authority over every tribe people language and Nation all inhabitants of the earth will worship the Beast all whose names have not been written in the Lamb's Book of Life life a lamb who was slain from the creation of the world so here's what we can establish from this passage there will be people in this world who will worship and idolize the Antichrist because he will suffer what the Bible calls a

fatal wound many speculate and think that it will be an assassination attempt but whatever it is it will be something that looks to be fatal but the Antichrist will somehow be healed and this will lead many to be filled with wonder and follow him moving on the Antichrist will openly blaspheme against God he will openly speak against Jesus Christ and seek to insult the name of the Lord think about that the Antichrist will be the Devil Himself but as a human he may initially be a politician a scholar a wealthy businessman whatever his background is

his agenda will be clear and his stance will be clear he will stand against the Gospel of Jesus Christ and seek to be worshiped himself now he will be given power and authority on the earth for 42 months which is 3 and 1/2 years and within that time he will have power over every tribe and people and language and Nation think about that for a moment if you have power over every tribe and people and language and Nation you must be in a position of global Authority you must be in a position of influence and

complete comination if you're able to have power over every tribe and people and language and Nation now we're not told how this power is manifested whether it's through sheer military force or some form of dictatorship regime or simply through the forces of Darkness whatever the case may be the Beast the Antichrist will have a huge evil influence over this world when the Antichrist will come to power and deceive the masses people will be forced to take a mark on their hand or forehead in order to buy or sell anything this Mark will signify allegiance to

the Antichrist and those who refuse to take it will be unable to participate or function in society imagine a world where you cannot even buy a loaf of bread or a gallon of milk without the mark of the beast imagine being completely cut off from society and forced to live off the land just to survive furthermore Christianity will be outlawed and Believers will face persecution and even death for their faith the pressure to bow down to the Antichrist will be intense families will be torn apart as loved ones choose to take the mark and turn

away from God just listen to how the Bible describes the events that will happen in that day and time Revelation 13:14 to17 says and with all the Miracles he was allowed to perform on behalf of the first Beast he deceived all the people who belong to this world he ordered the people to make a great statue of the first Beast who was fatally wounded and then came back to life he was then permitted to give life to this statue so that it could speak then the statue of the Beast commanded that anyone refusing to worship

it must die he required everyone small and great rich and poor free and slave to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead and no one could buy or sell anything without that Mark which was either the name of the Beast or the number representing his name picture a world where you cannot openly pray or worship god without fear of being caught and punished imagine having to hide your faith and your beliefs not knowing who you can trust in addition to this the fact that everyone small and great rich and poor

free and slave everyone will need a mark to buy and sell meaning that there will be some sort of One World Currency controlled by the Antichrist all Financial transactions will be monitored and controlled and those who refuse to conform will be unable to participate in society whatever the Mark is whether it's a small electronic chip or something else it will grip the world and have an effect on everyone now although the Antichrist is yet to be revealed the devil is already at work the Bible tells us that the spirit of antichrist is already at work

how you may ask well through a lot of false prophets through a lot of the Ministries that look good and sound good the pastors look the part and the church buildings are Grand but the gospel they preach is empty it has no conviction no repentance no Holy Spirit to further understand false prophets take a closer look at the analogy wolves and sheep's clothing according to zoologists and Wildlife biologists when they've studied the behavi behaviors and characteristics of wolves they have found that wolves are opportunistic predators they will eat when they have an opportunity to do

so they've also found that wolves tend to Target weak sick or young sheep as they are easier to catch and kill and lastly the presence of wolves in areas with sheep can lead to significant economic losses for sheep Farmers as sheep that are killed by wolves cannot be sold for meat or wool so three things to take note of wolves are opportunistic predators wolves Target the vulnerable the weak and the young and wolves bring loss now is it not interesting that in Matthew 7:15 we are warned against false prophets who appear to be sheep but

are inwardly ravenous wolves in other words as children of God we are being warned to be wary of false prophets who appear to be good and righteous but are actually deceivers and so these false prophets obviously have three characteristics they are opportunistic predators who are looking for the Christian who will give them an ear or a seat at their table remember that the Bible says give no room to the devil and I believe this is because the devil and all those under his influence are opportunistic predators they're just waiting for the slightest opportunity and they

will enter someone's life to wreak havoc secondly false prophets Target the vulnerable this I believe is a person who is tired and weak from whatever they're going through in life they target someone who is frustrated or on the edge of giving up and look at it this way the devil tempted Jesus after he fasted 40 days and 40 nights when he was at his weakest physically that's when the devil tempted Jesus look at job after he lost everything his family and his wealth and just when when you thought it couldn't get any worse for him

the devil finally came after his health and struck job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head when this happened job's wife did a Despicable thing and encouraged job to do the exact thing that Satan wanted and that was for job to curse God and die so you see the devil loves to attack you at your lowest or at your weakest and this is the template that all false prophets will use when you are at your lowest and at your weakest they will tell you things that will tickle

your ears they will offer a word that has no Jesus no repentance but only the Feelgood Factor this is how the devil's henchmen Operate Now the final thing that wolves do is bring destruction and loss and what does the Bible say concerning this John 10:10 says the thief comes only to steal and kill and Destroy I have come that they may have life and have it to the full wherever the devil is there will be destruction he comes to steal people's joy to steal people's time so that they will be distracted with everything but the

things of God and false prophets will employ the same strategy so you may be wondering what exactly should I do to make sure I am never deceived by false prophets how can I remain guarded against wolves and sheep's clothing well the only true way to recognize deception for what it is is to know the pure truth and who that is Jesus himself said in John 14:6 I am the way and the truth and the life no one comes to the father except through me anyone who says otherwise is contradicting the Bible and spreading deception Revelation

13 verse 16 to 17 it also forced all people Great and Small rich and poor free and slave to receive a mark on their right hands or on their foreheads so that they could not buy or sell unless they had the mark which is the name of the Beast or the number of its name five things you need to know about the mark of the beast number one Allegiance when the Antichrist is revealed to the world he will enforce a system a law where you need to take some type of Mark in order to participate

in society there is one school of thought that suggests the following in order for us to really understand what the Mark is and what it means there is a need to look back in history it is thought that at one time Rome ordered all its citizens to pledge their allegiance to it and this would be their political allegiance and also religious Allegiance as you pledged Allegiance this meant you accepted and submitted to Roman law including the religious laws of that time for you to pledge allegiance it meant you were pledging your loyalty to Rome now

with this thought the mark of the beast will be a case of people pledging allegiance to the Antichrist people will take the mark of the beast because at that time it will most likely be enforced by law although the message will be that you need the mark to buy or sell you will in fact be pledging Your Allegiance to the Antichrist and here's the proof proof Revelation 14:9 to10 says a third Angel followed them and said in a loud voice if anyone worships the Beast and its image and receives its mark on their forehead or

on their hand they too will drink the wine of God's Fury which has been poured full strength into the cup of his wrath they will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the Holy Angels and of the Lamb those who have the mark have submitted to the Antichrist and therefore rejected God which in turn results in those individuals feeling the full force of God's Wrath number two the mark no one knows exactly what form the mark of the beast will be however many speculate that it could come in the form of a small

digital chip or something called an RFID radio frequency identification tag both of these options can quite easily be planted Under the Skin revelation 13:6 to 17 says he required everyone small and great rich and poor free and slave to be given a mark on the right hand or on the forehead and no one could buy or sell anything without that Mark which was either the name of the Beast or the number representing his name this scripture indicates that the Antichrist will establish some kind of world economic system and when you look at the advancing of

Technology digital currencies artificial intelligence and the increase in globalization of the world's markets a one world monetary system or currency is the most likely way that we will see the Antichrist and force his Reign because after all he cannot control the buying and selling of the entire world until there is a universal mechanism number three the persecution Christians are warned that difficult times will come when the Antichrist comes into Power he will give you two choices worship him or lose your life Revelation 13:15 says he was granted power to give breath to the image of

the Beast that the image of the Beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the Beast to be killed if you do not worship the Beast according to the Bible you will lose your life so effectively Christianity will be outlawed any believer or anyone who refuses to bow to the Antichrist will face persecution re Revelation 2:1 says do not fear any of those things which you are about to suffer indeed the devil is about to throw some of you into prison that you may be tested and you will

have tribulation 10 days be faithful until death and I will give you the Crown of Life the pressure to bow down to the Antichrist will be intense families will be torn apart as loved ones choose to take the mark and turn away from God and think about it if you take the mark you you lose your soul you essentially reject God but if you don't take the mark you will be persecuted you will be unable to buy or sell just imagine the difficult position that some Believers will be in for some this will mean you

can't put food on the table for your family so now you have to contend with hunger and starvation for others you cannot work you cannot receive an income and therefore unable to pay for your home and mortgage and perhaps this Force es you into hiding these are just hypothetical scenarios but I just want to paint a picture that shows just how difficult things will be for believers during the time of the Antichrist number four great evil in those days the world will see a great evil like never before here are some of the things you

will see during the reign of the Antichrist Matthew 24 verse 15-6 says therefore when you see the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel the Prophet standing in the Holy Place whoever reads let him understand then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains an Abomination is something that causes disgust or hatred it's a great sin commonly worthy of death and desolation is a state of complete emptiness or destruction now when Jesus said this he was in fact warning us that someone or perhaps some event that people detested would stand in the temple

Sun someday when that horror occurred residents of Judea should seek cover without delay furthermore there will be widespread idolatry on the earth there will be people in this world who will worship and idolize the Antichrist because he will suffer what the Bible calls a fatal wound but miraculously recover in addition to this the Antichrist will openly blaspheme against God he will openly speak against Jesus Christ and seek to insult the name of the Lord Lord and when it comes to the hearts of people 2 Timothy 3 tells us that people will be corrupt and fall

away from God people that have a form of godliness but they won't have the power of God working in their lives when you read 2 Timothy 3 and go through the list of how people in society will be the Bible tells you that people will be lovers of self meaning that people will be narcissistic and self-focused and so from this you can see that there will be great evil in the last days especially once the Antichrist is in power the fifth and final thing you need to know is that when the Antichrist is revealed the

end is near and the Glorious second coming of Jesus Christ is closer than ever the Antichrist will be revealed as the tribulation period Begins the tribulation period will be the final seven years of human history this period in time will be split into two the tribulation period which lasts 3 and 1/2 years and then the Great Tribulation period which lasts 3 and 1/2 years as well this 7-year period will be the reign of the Antichrist however it all ends in the battle of Armageddon the Bible tells us demonic spirits will gather all the rulers and

their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon John then tells us the scenes he saw in Revelation 19 then I saw heaven opened and a white horse was standing there its riter was named faithful and true for he judges fairly and wages a righteous War his eyes were like flames of fire and on his head were many crowns a name was written on him that no one understood except himself he wore a robe dipped in Blood and his title was the word of God the armies of Heaven dressed in the finest of pure

white linen followed him on white horses from his mouth came a sharp sword to strike down the Nations he will rule them with an iron Rod he will release the fierce wrath of God the Almighty like juice flowing from a wine press on his robe at his thigh was written this title king of all kings and Lord of all Lords this will be the triumphant return of Jesus Christ and when he returns he will bring judgment against all of the wickedness in the world the White Horse that Jesus rides on symbolically depicts the holy and

pure power that Jesus has to overcome evil with good when Jesus returns he will not be alone he will have the armies of heaven with him and this will be made up of angels led by Archangel Michael and the Saints he first came to Earth as the Lamb of God and sacrificed himself on the cross so that we would be saved but when he returns he will return as the king of kings and Lord of lords when Jesus returns he will crush the Antichrist and all of his followers he will crush every demonic spirit and

thing that stands in opposition to him the Bible tells us in Revelation 19: 19-21 then I saw the Beast and the kings of the world and their armies gathered together to fight against the one sitting on the horse and his Army and the Beast was captured and with him the false prophet who did Mighty miracles on behalf of the Beast Miracles that deceived all who had accepted the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue both the Beast and his false prophet were thrown alive into the fiery Lake of burning sulfur their entire Army

Army was killed by the sharp sword that came from the mouth of the one riding the White Horse and the vultures all gorged themselves on the dead bodies for a moment I would like to delve into the prophetic words of the Book of Revelation and explore the imagery it presents concerning the rule of the Antichrist as Believers it is crucial that we understand these teachings to guard ourselves against deception and remain steadfast in our faith in Revelation 13: 11 to 12 we encounter a vivid description of the antichrist's rise to power it speaks of a

beast rising from the earth having horns like a lamb but speaking like a dragon this figurative language symbolizes the deceptive nature of the Antichrist at first glance the appearance may seem harmless resembling a gentle lamb however the words that proceed from its mouth are filled with venomous Spirit of the Dragon Satan and himself one of the ways the Antichrist will exert control is through the establishment of a one world religion the world will be deceived and in some cases forced to Bow Down and Worship the Antichrist as if he were a savior Additionally the scriptures

indicate that the Antichrist will establish a one world monetary system this system will impose its Authority upon all rich and poor Great and Small small regardless of their social status or wealth it will require a mark on the right hand or forehead without which no one can buy or sell this Mark will be a symbol of allegiance to the antichrist's Reign a sign of one's submission to his authority this is a sobering thought the One World monetary system represents the antichrist's desire to control every aspect of human life even our basic needs but let us

be encouraged for God has warned us of these events in advance he has given us his word to equip us with discernment and wisdom God's word has told us this so that we would always be found living in the truth that is in the Bible because when you know the truth and the light that is in the word of God you cannot be deceived by the Antichrist or the spirit of the Antichrist which according to the Bible is already in operation in this world today and so we must stand firm in our faith refusing to

compromise our devotion to Christ even if it means facing hardships and persecution we need to be vigilant and Discerning 1 John 4: 3-4 says but if someone claims to be a prophet and does not acknowledge the truth about Jesus that person is not from God such a person has the spirit of the Antichrist which you heard is coming into the world and indeed is already here but you belong to God my dear children you have already won a victory over those people because the spirit who lives in you is greater than the spirit who lives

in the world the spirit of the Antichrist is already here in this world it's a spirit that lies and deceives which is why you see that in this day and age the world calls evil good and good evil this is the spirit of antichrist in operation but let me remind you that we have the truth on our side let us cling to Jesus the true Lamb of God who gave his life for our salvation by immersing ourselves in his word and prayer we will be fortified against the deceptions of the Antichrist may we remain faithful

Until the End knowing that our ultimate Victory lies In Christ Alone the Bible is calling us to wake up the Lord wants us to wake up to the fact that there is a heaven and a hell there is a day of judgment if someone is driving down the road and they doze off or their attention wanders they could very well miss some of the road signs telling them where to go well God has given us his children many signs to watch out for the word of God is filled with signs to let us know that

time is wrapping up this world will not last forever and that's good news I don't know about you but Heaven from what I've read about heaven it seems to be the better place No More Tears no more sorrow only joy only peace oh to be in the presence of the Lord for all of eternity to be far away from the sickness and disease of this world to be done with natural disasters and Devastation Hebrews 3:12 says see to it brothers and sisters that none of you has a sinful unbelieving heart that turns away from the

Living God this is a serious warning because Paul is telling us that we need to see to it that none of us have a wicked and unbelieving heart a heart which refuses to trust and rely on the Lord a heart that turns away from the Living God and let me show you just why unbelief is so crippling to a Christian in Matthew 13 when Jesus was coming to his hometown he began teaching the people in the synagogue and verse 58 says now he did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief think about

that Jesus didn't do any Miracles because of unbelief Jesus didn't perform any Mighty works because of unbelief and so my friends you see why Paul warns us against having an unbelieving heart when you have a heart filled with unbelief you deny God's power you deny God's glory you deny the Lord of all that he is so be warned people of God see to it that none of you has a sinful unbelieving heart that turns away from the Living God now for this next warning I have to give you a little bit of context before I

go on any further the children of Israel were LED out of captivity and slavery they saw incredible miracles from God they saw the Red Sea was parted the Lord went before them by day in a pillar of cloud to lead the way and by night in a Pillar of Fire to give them light they were fed by Mana from heaven but despite seeing God's strong hand the children of Israel rebelled murmured and complained against God and so Paul in the New Testament warns us in Hebrews 3:1 15-17 as has just been said today if you

hear his voice do not Harden your hearts as you did in the Rebellion who were they who heard and rebelled were they not all those Moses LED out of Egypt and with whom was he angry for 40 years was it not with those who sinned whose bodies parished in the wilderness the warning here is that we should not Harden our hearts don't be cold and insensitive to the voice of God in the midst of all the chaos and confusion of this world the voice of God is still calling out to us the spirit of the

Lord is knocking on our hearts a hardened heart means insensitivity towards God's Beauty And Glory it means chasing after our own desires instead of the things of God but thankfully in his mercy God is offered to change our hearts God can change our hearts the third warning I believe we should be aware of can be found in Hebrews 2:1 says therefore we must give the more Earnest heed to the things we have heard lest we drift away now I believe that the Amplified translation explains this verse further as it says for this reason that is

because of God's final Revelation in his son Jesus and because of Jesus's superiority to the angels we must pay much closer attention than ever to the things that we have heard so that we do not in a way drift away from truth in essence what the Bible is telling us here is that we should be careful not to drift away from the truth that is Jesus Christ we should be careful not to slip away from the truth of the Gospel because in this world you will encounter people who give you their own watered down version

of The Gospel people who will preach a gospel that will require no repentance no commitment no denying of self but instead a gospel that tickles the ears it sounds good makes you feel good but has no power to transform you or challenge you this this is what we should be careful about let's not drift away from the truth of the Gospel the real Gospel of Jesus Christ will Challenge and convict you it will lead to a change in your sinful habits and cause you to repent and we should do just that Saints we should repent

and turn away from sin from the moment we are saved from the moment we we decide to follow Jesus hell and the devil become angry hell and all its demons are alarmed they are shaken at the prospect of another man or woman empowered by the Holy Spirit the devil is shaken by the thought of a Believer who has found joy and strength in Jesus and I want you not to miss this a soul saved is celebrated in heaven but that same Soul intimidates the devil a soul saved is welcomed and applauded in heaven but equally

a soul saved becomes a target for the enemy not because they're weak and it's not because they have no strength but they become a Target because of the potential that God has placed within them the devil knows you could be a potential Moses or an Elijah or a warrior like Joshua and that makes you a Target but this is nothing to be fearful of it should only be a reminder to remain Vigilant when you're saved the devil makes it his mission to try and get you back into the World by any means necessary he does

all he can to discourage you or to make you lose your salvation this is why you have to fight to stay saved because we have an enemy who wants to destroy us an enemy who is called the accuser of the Brethren he would rather you be unsaved and living a life of sin and if you willingly decide to take a stand and put on the whole armor of God oh well that's when you enter the realm of spiritual warfare Fair a fight between good and evil a fight between the spirit man and the carnal flesh

one of the greatest areas of misunderstanding in any person's life can be pinpointed to what they know and what they don't know and it's simple because we understand what we know and tend to not understand the things we don't know now people often have a lack of knowledge about spiritual warfare particularly about the root cause of the Warfare we experience on day-to-day basis as Christians most of us just see the issues the problems and circumstances we face as just being life we've all heard the cliches people use well that's just the way it is or

life is like a box of chocolates or even perhaps when it rains it pours but the everyday battles we Face take on new meanings when we have a better understanding of spiritual warfare the Bible teaches in 2 Peter 3:9 that the Lord is not slack concerning his promise as some count slackness but is longsuffering toward us not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance the word also teaches the enemy comes to steal kill and destroy the contrast between the two is a case of good versus evil one offers light one

offers Darkness one offers Life One offers destruction and it's an ongoing Battlefront that rages in the heart of every person someone once said you are a prime target for attack precisely because you are on the other side so when we stand on the side of God we can expect opposition from the enemy the devil will devise an offensive assault with every opportunity he gets and he will mount a strike from every side when you look throughout the Bible the devil is indeed the Prince of Darkness and evil but consider this although he is behind the

scenes who does he use yes there are principalities and rulers of Darkness that we fight against but really think who does the devil often use to attack the work of God or men men and women of God he uses people Jezebel was a person Saul was a person Judas was a person Delilah was a person harod was a person do you see the pattern it wasn't this dark demonic creature walking around but it was people men and women perhaps this is the easiest way for the enemy to attack us because well if he tried to

attack any of us with his true form we would cast him down with speed and boldness so he does it subtly through other people the prayer of Jesus as he came out of the garden of gethy was that God's people would be United as one so that the world would recognize him as the savior of the world but Saints God has been faithful through his word to give us plenty of warnings about the devil and about his schemes that way we are never blindsided and more importantly God has made available to us all of the

necessary resources and the tools that enable us to fight now the most prominent scripture about spiritual warfare is found in Ephesians 6:12 it says for we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities against Powers against the rulers of the darkness of this age against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places to put it simply when it comes to spiritual warfare the Christian man or woman will fight against principalities against powers and rulers of the darkness they will fight against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the Heavenly places now I don't know about

you but at first glance that looks like a daunting list it looks like there are ranks in the kingdom of darkness at first glance this list may look intimidating and you may be there thinking I'm fighting to just live right how can I be expected to fight principalities rulers of darkness and spiritual hosts of wickedness some Believers may even say these battles are for an Elijah type of Christian a Moses or Paul type of Christian but I would like to help you realize that you are called qualified and equipped to handle spiritual warfare the first

thing we have to realize is that a child of God is dangerous and Powerful you're dangerous to the enemy and you are powerful because greater is he who is in you greater is Jesus Christ who is in your heart than he who is in the world for you and I to be included in iians 6:12 which says collectively we we do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities and Powers this means that you and I as children of God are both eligible and capable of fighting spiritual battles it means that at the point

that we are saved and accept Jesus Christ as our Lord and savior we sign up to become a part of God's Army and therefore we have been given the appropriate resources and the appropriate tools to fight as members in the body of Christ now let's discuss our eligibility and capability in terms of our eligibility from the point that we're saved Heaven rejoices Luke 15:1 likewise I say to you there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents this verse in other words confirms that we are now eligible to

be in the army of God Heaven rejoices because your soul has been gained in the kingdom of God and in the army of the Lord now for our capability when it comes to spiritual warfare the true definition of the word capability is the power or ability to to do something or the extent of someone's or something's ability we need to look at Ephesians 6:10 which says finally my brethren be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might I need you to understand this verse because this is how we are then capable to

wrestle in the spirit to fight in the spirit according to Ephesians 6:10 we are strong when we are in the Lord and in the power of His might his might not your own intelligence not your own muscle or skill but in his mind you are capable of fighting spiritual battles not through your own strength or your own might but as the Bible says through the strength of the Lord and through his might so I encourage you not to to be intimidated by Satan we are eligible and capable to fight spiritual battles because we are saved

and we are to fight in the Lord and through the power of His might be encouraged don't be afraid of the fight you are both capable and eligible to fight so fight fight in prayer fight through God's word fight with the Holy Spirit fight with boldness don't allow the devil to just walk all over you be strong in the Lord be strong in his might you have God Almighty on your side so begin to fight like it
