2:2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience,
It refers to Satan with disobedience spirit or wickedness and uncleanness spirit or the source of sin up to the peak, namely sins concerning eating-drinking such as smoking, getting drunk, drugs abuse; and marrying-being given in marriage or sexuality sin with all its kinds that bring destruction or fall and perdition.
The spirit of disobedience means the disobedience to God, pastor, and parents.
It brings unfaithfulness, even one leaves the service and ministry to God [Hebrews 10:25-27].
It is also about wrong marriage that is not in line to the Word of God in the beginning or during the marriage. It will also cause destruction and perdition.

It refers to the antichrist with the power of mammon or the love or bond of money causing stinginess and greediness until one perishes forever.
Stinginess means that one cannot give to God, referring to vertical line, and to other people, referring to horizontal line. Thus, such person does not remember the cross of Jesus.
Greediness means that one seizes the possession of God, namely tithes and offerings as well as the belonging of other people by stealing and not paying the debt.
Being extravagant means that one fulfills the flesh desire more than his or her salary. Consequently, he or she is in debt that cannot be paid and gripped by the antichrist.
Being wise means that we can endure or give the tithes and offerings back to God and use the physical blessings according to our need. Moreover, we can give to other people who are in need even our whole life to God.
If we can endure, we will be inside the hand of Jesus, the Redeemer.

10:27 "My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.

- Satan cannot snatch us out of the hand of God. We cannot be deceived. We will not fall in sin up to the peak of sin, so we do not perish. There is guarantee of assurance inside the hand of the Great Shepherd.
- We experience the intensive sanctification done by the sword of the Word, beginning from the heart which is the source of sin.

15:19 "For out of the heart proceed (1)evil thoughts, (2)murders, (3)adulteries, (4)fornications, (5)thefts, (6)false witness, (7)blasphemies.

The blaspheme increases up to the one to the true teaching Word and the true servant of God.
The sanctification to the heart in the shepherding system is from seven evil and uncleanness lusts. In such condition, we are building the house with seven pillars.
The sanctification to the heart will appear in the mouth.
James 3:2
3:2 For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.

It begins from being strong and of good courage, not doubting but holding fast to the true teaching Word, consecration or service and ministry to God as well as worship to Him.
We will be renewed to be as glorious as Jesus is when He comes a second time. We become the Bride of God that is ready to welcome His second coming on glorious clouds and enter the marriage supper of the Lamb to rejoice with Him forever in heavenly kingdom.
