Victory in Christ:  satan the Defeated

Who is satan?  II Corinth. 4:4, John 8:41-44, John 10:10, Luke 4:6, James 4:7, I Peter 5:7-9

Genesis 3:1-12, Hebrews 2:6-18, Hebrews 10:1-3,

Colossians 2:14-15, Matthew 4:4-10, Luke 8:22-25, I John 5:1-5, John 16:32-33, Psalm 118:1-17, II Corinthians 10:3-7, Psalm 91:1-16, Psalm 103:1-8, Romans 8:31-39

I John 4:1-6, Genesis 3:1-12, James 4:5-7, I Peter 5:7-9

How did Jesus express the defeat of satan in his life? (I John 3:8, Acts 10:38)

Jesus acted as if satan was not the issue.  His life revolved around the will of His Father, not satan ( John 8:27-27).  This is not about the devil but about the Father and His Will (Ephesians 1:1-13)

Job 1:6-12,

What did Jesus know about the powerlessness of satan on earth? (Luke 10:17-19)

1. the weather (Luke 8:22-25)
2. the economy (Luke 10:5-10)
3. people under satan’s influence (Matt. 26:51-53, Mark 4:34-41, Luke 13:31-32)
4. sickness and disease (Luke 13:10-16, John 11:4)
5. He controlled demons at will (Mark 9:25, Luke 22:31-32)

He believed the word of God not the God of this world.

The Victorious Ones

Examples of satan being glorified by believers

I Samuel 17:23-25,33, Judges 6:14-15, Genesis 15:2-3, Genesis 24:5

John 10:34-38, Psalm 82:1-6,I Peter 1:23-25, II Peter 1:16-21

When the Will of God came I became something else! (Psalm 107:20, II Corinth. 5:17-21)

I have the Will of God.  This makes me something else altogether!! (John 5:30-38, John 6:32-40)

Knowing the Will of God exemplifies me from all other humans and insulates me from satan’s involvement.  So, it is satan’s number one objective to divorce me from the will of God.  Genesis 3:1-10, Luke 6:46-49

Examples of people who manifested the victory

Gideon, Daniel, David, Moses, Jesus and the cross
