 We are not the ones desperately trying to hang on to dominion power and authority. That's been secured in Christ. It's the enemy who's working through the disobedience of wicked men and women who is trying to desperately cling to what little he has left. He's clamoring to hang on to whatever he can knowing that he has been defeated, decimated, put to shame publicly by the power of the cross and the resurrection of our Lord Jesus.
