 Many Christians get this wrong about Satan. They say he's the king of this world, he has authority. But this is what Jesus said, he says, all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Yes, the evil one prowls around like a roaring lion seeking to devour. But don't think for a second that he has authority. Yes, he poses as a counterfeit authority, claiming his jurisdiction, but God has provided us his power and his presence so that we can overcome any temptation that's brought about by the evil one. God is calling us now through his power to take dominion over creation. Listen, the Christian life isn't one of retreat, but rather it's a victory march where we're proclaiming to everyone else to join the procession.
