Satan's Defeat

Some Christians become fearful whenever the devil or demons are mentioned. They'll even lower their voices to a whisper when talking about them. Others take an opposite stance and feel that it's their responsibility to "wrestle" against principalities and powers. The truth is, neither group really understands the authority Jesus gave them over Satan and his demonic forces. They don't know they don't have to be afraid of the devil or "war" against the forces of darkness.

Jesus defeated Satan through His death at Calvary. During His three days in hell, Jesus conquered the devil and all of his demonic forces. He also took the keys of hell and death from Satan (Rev. 1:18). Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, He transferred His authority over the devil and demonic powers to every believer, not to just a few select Christians or to those called to the five-fold ministry. (See Matt. 28:18–20 and Mark 16:15–18.)

This authority belongs to us whether we realize it or not. Satan doesn't want us to learn about the authority we have over him and will do everything he can to hide this truth from us. He will fight believers more on this subject than on any other truth. If he is able to blind our eyes to our authority, he can easily defeat us in every area of our lives.

Once we know that we have authority over our enemy, it's up to us to exercise or enforce that authority. It doesn't work automatically. Simply knowing that we have authority over Satan is not enough. If we don't use it, we are allowing the devil to dominate us. Only knowledge that is acted upon will bring results.

Because Jesus triumphed over Satan, we don't have to "war" against our enemy. Our combat with the devil should be from the viewpoint that Jesus Christ has already defeated him. Our battle, so to speak is simply enforcing what Christ has already won for us. Satan can't dominate us unless we allow him to. When we realize this and walk in our authority, we will enjoy the reality of what is rightfully ours and face the devil without any fear or hesitancy.

Satan's Defeat

1. Some Christians become fearful whenever the devil or demons are mentioned. They'll even lower their voices to a whisper when talking about them. Others take an opposite stance and feel that it's their responsibility to "wrestle" against principalities and powers.

2. The truth is, neither group really understands the authority Jesus gave them over Satan and his demonic forces. They don't know they don't have to be afraid of the devil or "war" against the forces of darkness.

3. Jesus defeated Satan through His death at Calvary. During His three days in hell, Jesus conquered the devil and all of his demonic forces.

Before Jesus ascended into Heaven, He transferred His authority over the devil and demonic powers to every believer, not to just a few select Christians or to those called to the five-fold ministry. (See Matt. 28:18–20 and Mark 16:15–18.)

1. Ignorance as far as what the devil is, is the reason the fear of him.

2. Did Jesus Christ really give anyone authority over Satan or is that a lie culled from the doctrines and traditions of men, which Jesus Christ proclaimed were lies where the Truth of God is concerned?

3. Jesus did not defeat Satan through His death of the cross. Satan never had any real power over Jesus Christ since Jesus Christ , who is God over His followers, easily rebuked him long before His death. Death is God's own curse of mankind - Genesis 3 vs 16 - 22... and in dying and coming back to Death, Jesus Christ overcame the curse that God put on mankind for our sakes.

The devil lives inside of all those who claim to believe in God but remain under the curse. Billions of so-called Christians walking around are children of the devil because in their hearts are lies born of the doctrines and traditions of men, instead of the Truth of God - John 8 vs 31 - 44

Yeah powerful in the minds of brainwashed sheepishs.

All power belong to JESUS

The devil is about as powerful as a comic book villain, I wish you Christians would see that and stop disturbing public peace with your prayers against this imaginary character.

OP, just a side note

The pic used cam be changed. I dunno if you have issues with devil being depicted as the black man as i do. Just sincerely speaking.

It depends on man.

1 John 5:19
We know [for a fact] that we are of God,
and the whole world [around us] lies in the power of the evil one [opposing God and His precepts].

Luke 4:6
And the devil said to Him,
“I will give You all this realm and its glory [its power, its renown];
because it has been handed over to me, and I give it to whomever I wish.

Yes, the Devil is powerful, but is not more powerful than God nor children, daughters, sons, women or men of God

After the first point. You just wasted your time writing nonsense from the second point to bottom and your points did not make any sense neither did it make any direction. It is clear you're ignorant about the scriptures so I won't waste time debating with you. I'm guessing you belong to the occult Jehovah Witness or Mormon that's why you don't even know what you're saying. I will advise you go to a good Protestant Biblical school and learn more so your eyes can finally be open. Shalom.

Romans 1:15-17
15So, for my part, I am ready and eager to preach the gospel also to you ...
16I am not ashamed of the gospel,
for it is the power of God for salvation [from His wrath and punishment]
to everyone who believes [in Christ as Savior],
to the Jew first and also to the Greek.
17For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed,
both springing from faith and leading to faith [disclosed in a way that awakens more faith].
As it is written and forever remains written, “THE JUST and UPRIGHT SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.”

Argue with 1 John 5:19 and Luke 4:6

Psalm 8:2
Out of the mouth of babies and infants, you have established strength
because of your foes, to still the enemy and the avenger.

Well isn’t that the tent, telling the pyramid, to learn more and dive deeper to be pointy.

loll, the question was 'Is The Devil Powerful?' but it can only be a foetus, that has a problem with my comment that said 'Yes, the Devil is powerful, but is not more powerful than God nor children, daughters, sons, women or men of God' which is just a similar answer to what Truvelisback has written that 'The Devil is powerful but he is not as powerful as his Maker'

After you have re-read the comments, write back a line of apology for your puerile petulance. Thank You
