Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son.- John 3:18
Satan is the God of this world and he is God’s main enemy. An abomination whose main intention is to promote and execute slavery, bondage, fear and destruction. God designed mankind within his own image to demonstrate his love.
Satan who is also known as Lucifer wanted power and control over mankind. He was one of the great archangels that were created by God before he created us human beings. Satan was beautiful, intelligent, talented, and self-willed. He didn’t want to serve God he wanted to be God and rule within his own prideful system of disobedience.
Where our true God is love, the God of this world is hate and reflects everything that is detestable to what is right and originally planned.
No matter how much confusion and havoc Satan produces upon the earth God is still in utter control and Satan’s capacity is limited. Satan isn’t able do anything without God’s permission or authority. Satan’s threat of death and the fear thereof through sin and bondage was conquered by Jesus Christ. We were set free to be lead into the new kingdom of God.
Satan has been defeated and knows that his time is short and he is eager to take as many of us down with him as he can in the most deceptive and misrepresentative of ways. He tries to manipulate through our thoughts, feelings, and actions.
As Jesus offers us new life we must draw near and stay close to God, seek out and incorporate his plan into our lives, and God will secure a triumph over Satan on our behalf as he fights our battles for us. We cannot do it by ourselves and we aren’t supposed to. The Lord tells all who hear his words-Jesus said, “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. –John 5:24
In conclusion, we have authority over Satan. He has no true power over us who follow/believe in Jesus Christ. Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. -James 4:7
The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give
us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us
not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power, and the glory, forever and ever.
Amen.
