*The question arises, “If Satan is defeated, how does he continue to wreak so much havoc in the world?” The answer is his only weapon against Jesus followers is lying and deception. We have a choice to believe who the Bible says we are (our identity in Jesus) or who Satan accuses us of being. We have the choice to place our trust in the truth of Jesus and His word or in the world. So the only power Satan exercises over Jesus followers is the power we grant him by trusting in anyone or anything other than the one true God of the Bible.
