Thank You, I am corrected on this about Evil, all it has is to get fear in people and people use this fear also to get to mothers also.
No, I actually do not read anything, where Satan was ever given the authority. yet it seems satan has authority, in misleading many. Lost it in the risen Son FEAR= False evidence appearing real.
And has deceived many.
Fear, to us the people is the major weapon, used on us by thought(s), which include, guilt and pride, placed in our thought(s). Still out and about as a roaring lion or is Satan defeated?
Until Satan is condemned and thrown into the pit forever, he spends his time between heaven (
Job 1:6–12) and earth (
1 Peter 5:8). He will not always have freedom of movement, and he knows it. “Woe to the earth and the sea, because the devil has gone down to you! He is filled with fury, because he knows that his time is short” (
Revelation 12:12).
In
Luke 10:18 Jesus says, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven.” The context of these words is the return of the
70 (or 72) disciples that Jesus had sent out to evangelize and prepare His way to Jerusalem (see verse 1). When the 70 return and give their report, they are joyful and a little surprised that “even the demons submit to us in your name” (verse 17). Jesus’ first words in reply are, “I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven” (verse 18).
In referencing Satan’s fall from heaven, Jesus most likely had in mind
Isaiah 14:12, “How you have fallen from heaven, morning star, son of the dawn! You have been cast down to the earth, you who once laid low the nations!” The fall of Satan that Jesus saw happened after Lucifer’s sin, before Adam and Eve’s temptation in the Garden of Eden. In his pride, Lucifer had lifted himself up, but God had cast him down out of his original place in heaven (although he retains a
limited access to heaven for now, according to
Job 1:6). Jesus’ statement in
Luke 10:18 speaks of Jesus’ pre-existence and the Lord’s defeat over the power of Satan in a general sense.
However. Jesus the Messiah won for us to be new in love and mercy to all. Without fear, who hear the call of God for them in the risen Son to them, who have accepted reconciliation through Son for them, are born again (New) by God and can rest from flesh work(s) to go the done work of Son for others to see and choose belief or not conciously
Love and mercy from God casts out all fear of, includes getting beaten up, ridiculed, told they are wrong, will not fight back in flesh and blood, at least learn this truth, and be in it all the way, in trust to learn from any and all mistakes
I hope for all, not wanting anyone to perish, so God waits patiently for each person to choose to believe God or not in his love and mercy for them too.
