As someone that was raised in witchcraft/paganism and became Christian, I can tell you demons love messy rooms, and take delight in chaotic spaces.

God is not a God of chaos.
In the original Greek New Testament, the word for "world" is kosmos (κόσμος). It literally means a perfectly ordered, harmonious arrangement, the exact opposite of chaos.
Our God is a God of Order and Cleanliness

You can’t sin less by trying to. Your efforts will always fall short. It’s not a matter of will power, if it were then Jesus was crucified in vain.
Ask God to fill you with His love, that you may transgress less, and to keep you from temptation and evil.

A great study and reminder 👇
Why did Jesus tell His Disciples to buy 2 swords?
Let's weigh the matter righteously
on the scales of the Word of God
And I am happy to explain, since it's widely used for evil instead of good
Jesus explicitly gives the reason in v. 37 to fulfill the prophecy in Isaiah 53:12 ith the transgressors”, “counted among the lawless”, “numbered with the criminals”)
This is part of the Suffering Servant song in Isaiah 53, which describes the Messiah’s atoning death.
When Jesus first sent the disciples out on mission (Luke 9:1-6 and 10:1-12), they went without money, extra clothes, or provisions and lacked nothing, God provided through hospitality.
Now the situation is changing dramatically as Jesus is about to be arrested, tried, crucified, and the disciples will face hostility, persecution, and a new era without His physical presence. They will need to be more self-reliant (purse/bag for basic needs).
The swords specifically is NOT a general command for self-defense or arming up for future ministry.
Jesus ties it directly and immediately to the Isaiah prophecy. By having (and visibly carrying) swords/weapons, the group would (appear to the authorities as armed rebels or “transgressors") a band of lawless criminals or political revolutionaries.
This would justify treating Jesus as a dangerous criminal (which the Romans and Jewish leaders did) and fulfill the prophecy that the Messiah would be “numbered with” such people. It was prophetic, the swords created the outward appearance required for the arrest and crucifixion to unfold as Scripture foretold.
“That’s enough!” (v. 38), Not “two swords are plenty to fight with,”
but either
(1) “That is sufficient [for the prophetic purpose]”
or
(2) a way of ending the conversation because the disciples were missing the point (they immediately took it literally and produced the two they already had).
Two swords among 11+ men (Judas had left) are USELESS FOR ACTUAL COMBAT or DEFENSE against a mob or Roman soldiers, exactly the point.
the swords ensured the group did "not appear" as a harmless, peaceful band of innocent teachers or pilgrims. Instead, they appeared as potential lawbreakers/revolutionaries (“transgressors”), which was necessary for the events to align with prophecy. It was NEVER about fighting or using the swords in battle.
Jesus immediately stops any use of the sword, when Peter draws one and attacks, Jesus rebukes him sharply, heals the victim, and says “No more of this!” He never intended or allowed violence.
BEAUTIFUL King Jesus could have overpowered everyone supernaturally, He references calling angels (Matthew) but chooses not to, so Scripture (including Isaiah 53) would be fulfilled. His kingdom “is not of this world” (John 18:36), IT DOES NOT ADVANCE BY THE SWORD.
The arresting party’s own words were, They come “with swords and clubs” as if against “a rebellion”/robber (Luke 22:52). The presence of even two swords among Jesus’ group made them look exactly like that, fulfilling the prophecy.
He consistently taught non-retaliation, loving enemies, turning the other cheek (Matthew 5:38-44), and laying down His life voluntarily. The apostles later emphasize the same (e.g., Romans 12:18-21; 1 Peter 2:21-23).
The early church did not take this as a call to arms; they faced persecution without violence.
At the Last Supper, as Jesus prepared to drink the cup of suffering, He gave this final instruction so that, when the authorities came, He would be arrested and executed precisely as the suffering Messiah prophesied in Isaiah: “numbered with the transgressors.”
The two swords were stage props for that fulfillment, not weapons for a fight He had zero intention of allowing or winning on human terms.
This is the unified understanding across the vast majority of biblical studies, however seems to be forgotten by those who worship Rome.
I pray this pricks your heart in understanding ✝️🫂💚🙏

Some Early Church History👇
Around 155 AD, Justin Martyr wrote his First Apology to the pagan Roman Emperor Antoninus Pius. To dispel rumors of cannibalism and incest, he provided a remarkably detailed, step by step description of early Christian weekly worship in Chapter 67.

Before 300 AD, Sunday was not a day of mandatory rest or a cessation of labor. Because Christianity was an illegal or marginalized religion in the Roman Empire, Sunday was a normal working day.
