The thing that has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors operates through the desires of the flesh. As far as being alive in Christ Jesus, only the grace of God can make that happen. There is no human effort that can change minds and emotions to bring Salvation.

Subjection to the Prince of the Power of the Air.
The prince of the power of the air is the spirit that works through the tumultuous population that is seen today. That is a direct quote, “the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now works in the children of disobedience:“
Today, the airways are known as television, radio, internet, computers, Alexa, phones, etc. There is no question that the global government uses the airways in harmony with governing through the mark of the beast. It is claiming itself to be all-knowing, ever-present, and all-powerful. With its power over the airways, it is eliminating the Gospel of Jesus Christ and tramples on the Holy Spirit. It keeps people locked into their transgressions and sins against God.
The prince of the power of the air also relates to the thing that has power over physiology and is able to form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Through it, people are “gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts.” It appeals to the desires of the flesh to make itself very appealing to the global population. It provides the flesh with physical healings, youthfulness, vitality, physical health, happiness, extraordinary knowledge, intuition, skills, sexual appeal, etc. Those are sins relating to the desire of the flesh because people choose those benefits of the flesh over the Gospel of Christ. It requires acknowledgement that it is all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present. It sets itself up as God. Keeping people dead in sin is to prevent them from living in the Holy Spirit which comes by serving God through Jesus Christ.
Those who walk according to the prince of the power of the air are the “children of disobedience.” They take to the streets to aggressively protest to change laws and constitutions to conform to a one world constitution. That constitution is rooted in the mark of the beast. All around the world, governments are changing laws to favor homosexuality, to eliminate Godly foundations, to rework school curriculum to favor an ungodly agenda, to legalize abortion, to dissolve the family as God ordained it, etc. Leaders of every type, public officials, work managers, housing managers, school officials, city officials, law enforcements, etc. are required to live by the mandates of the prince of the power of the air. The mark of the beast is being mandated.
Those of us who live by the Spirit of Jesus Christ know the stark contrast between living for God and walking according to the prince of the power of the air. The mark of the beast enflames emotions of sensual desire towards some while enflaming emotions of hostility towards others. It causes thoughts to be formed about various people, some for the good and some with malice. It causes behaviors to be done to others according to its will, either good or bad. Its only purpose in everything that it does is to reward those who live by it and harass and bring harm to those who reject it. Those of us who live for Jesus Christ are no longer dead in the transgressions and sins that the prince of the power of the air thrives on. The benefits of the desires of the flesh, that are given through the mark of the beast, no longer appeal to us.
Our sin nature no longer desires the mark of the beast, but now we desire the Holy Spirit of God that is given through Jesus Christ. “Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.“
“As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins,
Wherein in time past you walked according to the course of this world,
according to the prince of the power of the air,
the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh
and following its desires and thoughts.
Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath.”
Ephesians 2:1-3
Alive with Christ by the Grace of God.
With all the power that the prince of the power of the air has, it cannot and will not enliven us to the Spirit of Jesus Christ. Although it has power over physiology and can form thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, it is powerless to bring life to the goodness that is found in God through Jesus Christ. It is incapable of conforming to the image of Jesus Christ. It is evil and cannot be changed because it is of Satan who works in this world through the inner presence of the mark of the beast. It hasn’t a clue of what the love of God is because it creates an artificial love through the emotions, thoughts, and behaviors of those who serve it. It is not a love that brings Salvation.
A perfect comparison can be made between the grace of God and holding a person captive to the desires of the flesh. Human nature has inherited sin, and there are two ways of dealing with it. The prince of the power of the airways uses that sinful nature to twist a person’s arm to live by the mark of the beast. Those who live by the mark of the beast are known as the “children of rebellion.” They are kicking up a storm in the world today. On the other hand, God deals with the inherited sin of human nature by sending His Son Jesus Christ to make atonement for sin. That is God’s grace. Not one single person has to obligate themselves to the mark of the beast because God has given another option. God’s option brings Salvation through Jesus Christ. We are known as the “Children of God” and we bring the Gospel of Jesus which is the Light of the World.
In the days to come, those who choose Jesus Christ by the grace of God will inherit the riches of eternal life. Those riches are incomparable to the benefits of fleshly desires given in this world. That is God’s kindness to a fallen sinner who returns to God through Jesus Christ. He makes us alive with Christ.
“But because of His great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy,
made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—
it is by grace you have been saved.
And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him
in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages
He might show the incomparable riches of His grace,
expressed in His kindness to us in Christ Jesus.”
Ephesians 2:4-7
Human Efforts Does Not Bring Salvation.
The prince of the power of the airways has a form of Godliness but denies the power of Salvation. That is what the momentum towards a one world constitution is all about. It wants to clean up the world with all the power that is within human hands. The fight against “Global Warming” is one such example of the world’s human effort to save humanity. Every nation around the world is pressured to join the effort to save humanity. Gun violence is another global pressure-point to urge nations to join the human effort to save humanity. The list goes on and on of all the issues that government leaders are tackling to clean up the world and save humanity. They portray themselves as the Christ, and those false Christs abound around the world. Their cleanliness is not next to Godliness, it is merely a form of Godliness with no Salvation power at all. There is nothing from us, nothing from humanity that can save. Salvation is a gift of God through Jesus Christ.
The thing that has power over physiology sets itself up as being all-powerful, all-knowing, and ever-present. It sets itself up as God. All the power that it has is earthbound, it’s worldly, its abilities are limited to what has already been created. It is nothing more than a very sophisticated way of trying to use human effort to save the world. In fact, it is working through humans in its attempt to create an earthly utopia. The power of human effort is its engine that is propelling the world. It is able to form emotions, thoughts, and behaviors, but it is still nothing more than an earthbound attempt to succeed through human effort. It discards the need for Jesus Christ and tramples on the Holy Spirit. It is the mark of the beast working within a person. The world needs Jesus Christ.
Global warming gives warning that the earth is bound for destruction. In fact, in Revelation 16:8-10, the sun’s intense heat is a judgment of God that corresponds to the end of the system that governs by the mark of the beast. The destination of the world is in God’s hands, not ours. Humanity is God’s handiwork created in Christ Jesus to do good works. That’s the way it has been designed from the beginning of creation. To intrude on God’s handiwork by imposing power over physiology is disastrous and opposed to God’s will. God is all about grace, not twisting arms to force obedience. Imposing formed thoughts, emotions, and behaviors onto a person opposes God’s plan of Salvation that comes through Jesus Christ. Human efforts come through the mark of the beast, but God’s grace comes through Jesus Christ. Salvation is a gift from God, meaning global warming isn’t solved by human effort, the answers come through Jesus Christ.
“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works,
which God prepared in advance for us to do.”
Ephesians 2:8-10
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:11
