The deception of the mark of the beast and 666 has been prevalent for years not only in the church but in the secular world as well. The deception was devised by demons and the purpose of it was for inflicting fear not only into the hearts of the saints, but into the hearts all men. Fear is the opposite of faith. Fear is crippling and paralyzing. Faith is strengthening and empowering and it is through faith that we overcome. Therefore, let us hear the truth that the Spirit is speaking to the church as He transforms us into overcomers.
