They responded, we are a Regiment, we match together, we are orderly.
Satan has a highly organized and effective army and this is because, his agents or demons are not disorganized as we erroneously think when they come against you and I.
Satan & his demons are better organized.
We should have been the one taking credit for this.

When Jesus asked , what is your name in Mark 5:9 KJV
And he asked him, What is thy name? And he answered, saying, My name is Legion: for we are many.
They responded, we are a Regiment, we match together, we are orderly.
Satan has a highly organized and effective army and this is because, his agents or demons are not disorganized as we erroneously think when they come against you and I.
When Satan matches with his demons they all match with a "spirit" of unity.
they accused Jesus of casting out Satan in Satan's name..Luke 11:17-18 KJV
But he, knowing their thoughts, said unto them, Every kingdom divided against itself is brought to desolation; and a house
divided against a house falleth. [18] If Satan also be divided against himself, how shall his kingdom stand? because ye say that I cast out devils through Beelzebub.
Jesus was saying that Satan's kingdom is not divided against itself.
I will also like to remind you that from
Genesis-Revelations you will never find demons fighting demons, principalities fighting principalities, witches fighting witches, its only when we take a look inside d church that we see so much of royal rumble. Ministers of d Gospel fighting each other, churches antagonizing
each other, Methodist against Baptist, Pentecostals against Catholics and the list goes on and on and on and on.
This is so because, we don't value ORDER and in the beginning, things were not meant to be so.
Wake up, Disorder is the work of the enemy. Disorder in the church,
disorder amongst brethren, disorder in marriage amongst couple, disorder in business, disorder in one's personal life or endeavour.
1 Corinthians 14:40 KJV
Let all things be done decently and in order.. this passage emphasizes LET ALL THINGS...No exception.
We need order in the house of God.
We need order in our marriages.
We need order in everything we do
We need order everywhere.
For God is not a God or author of confusion and neither can He operate in a place where disorder is entrenched.
We need to kick out the spirit of disorder, strife, envy, lust from our churches and homes, lives etc
As for me and my house, Joshua said, we shall serve the Lord.
Set your house in order.
Set your church in order.
Set your life in order.
Set everything you do in order so
that you can continuously experience growth and increase.
The Holy Spirit will help you achieve this in Jesus name.

MDZS is laden with buddhist references. As a South Asian person, and history buff, it is so interesting to see how Buddhism, which originated from India, migrated, flourished & changed in the context of China. Here's some research (🙏🏼 @starkjeon for CN insight + citations)
1. LWJ’s sword Bichen ‘is likely an abbreviation for the term 躲避红尘 (duǒ bì hóng chén), which can be translated as such: 躲避: shunning or hiding away from 红尘 (worldly affairs; which is a buddhist teaching.) (https://t.co/zF65W3roJe) (abbrev. TWX)
2. Sandu (三 毒), Jiang Cheng’s sword, refers to the three poisons (triviṣa) in Buddhism; desire (kāma-taṇhā), delusion (bhava-taṇhā) and hatred (vibhava-taṇhā).
These 3 poisons represent the roots of craving (tanha) and are the cause of Dukkha (suffering, pain) and thus result in rebirth.
Interesting that MXTX used this name for one of the characters who suffers, arguably, the worst of these three emotions.
3. The Qian kun purse “乾坤袋 (qián kūn dài) – can be called “Heaven and Earth” Pouch. In Buddhism, Maitreya (मैत्रेय) owns this to store items. It was believed that there was a mythical space inside the bag that could absorb the world.” (TWX)

If you have a spiritual practice, this would be a good time to double down on it.
If you don’t have a spiritual practice, this wouldn’t be the worst time to start one.

Do yr spiritual practice. Even when you don't feel like it.
“Hardly does our head begin to ache than we stop going to choir, which won’t kill us either. We stay away 1 day bc our head ached, another bc it was just now aching & 3 more so that it won’t ache again.” Teresa of Avila
Ok: a spiritual practice. Something that you do regularly, and if you do it with the right intention, can transform your relationship to yourself, other people, the world and your place in it and (if this resonates with you) the divine.
Prayer. Meditation. But also: making art. Walks in nature. Going running, for some people. I wrote a whole entire book on parenting as a spiritual practice. Intention matters.
