MY FRIENDS, IS THE POWER OF SATAN RELEVANT IN THE 21ST CENTURY?
Then that voice, richer than any music that ever fell on mortal ear, is heard, saying: “Your conflict is ended.” “Come, ye blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.”
Now is fulfilled the Saviour’s prayer for His disciples: “I will that they also, whom Thou hast given Me, be with Me where I am.” “Faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” Jude 24 (KJV)
“Faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” My friends with that promise why do we ever talk of the power of Satan? To a child of God, Satan and the forces of evil must be only relevant in the past tense because if we serve a risen Savor then “it is no longer [you or] I who lives.
[in other words Satan is no longer a factor in our lives, but only Christ who now lives in us]; and the life which [we used to live when the god of this world abounded supreme] in our flesh [we] live by faith in the Son of God, who loved each of us and gave Himself up for [our Salvation.]” Gal 2:20 (KJV paraphrased)
And then my friends, when it is all over “the sea gave up the dead which were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead which were in them; and they were judged, every one of them according to their deeds. Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire this is the second death, the lake of fire.” Rev. 20:13-14 (KJV)
My friends, Satan sentence can’t be overturned. It was final when Christ said “it is finished” on Calvary, which also meant that our sentence of death was overturned if we believe and endure. So we cannot allow the god of this world to blind our minds to what the plan of Salvation was all about which was Satan and the fairness of God’s law, and Satan lost His case with no appeal given.
That is why we must study and pray daily as we seek the “Spirit who will guide us into all the truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come.” John 13:6 (NIV)
That is the power we must speak and focus on because that power gives us the power that far exceeds any created being who for some reason thought he could “ascend above the heights of the clouds; and be like the most High.”
And if we allow one created being, Satan, to reign supreme in our lives who are also created beings, then we also begin to feel like we can “ascend above the heights of the clouds; and be like the most High.
Yes my friends, Satan has us thinking what we see with our eyes, hear with our ears and the places we go that are an abomination to God that we place above God and His law are right and just, “But they only lead to death.”
And that is the limitations of Satan’s power which in the end will cause so many who gives him so much credit for his power to became his slave and enter that wide gate that has such a broad path.
That is also such an easy path to travel that leads only to destruction and eternal loss, and there are many who will enter through it. Because they refused to believe in the power of The Son of God whose power gives us Salvation and life eternal.
Every excuse we may give as the reason we cannot serve Christ, was challenged and answered at Calvary.
