And yes, it only has the power we allow it to.

We watched 30 minutes of Nosferatu and couldn't stand the cheesy music so we went to bed!

That was an answer to prayer.

I guess I don't get an explanation on the power thing.

I didn't see this at first.

Who gave Satan power?

QUOTE JIPSAH:  Quote  

where do you see that we have any authority to empower Satan to own or not own a certain day or he has not authority unless we give it to him?

Satan has no power that we don't allow him to have.  This is the guy who  will FLEE if we simply resist him!  So if he "owns" a certain day, or anything else, it's because we've given it to him and haven't run him off as it is well within our power to do.

As for authority, who gave him any?  He has none.  If you choose to heed his blandishments then on your head be it.  He has no power to compel you to do anything.

I couldn't have said this better myself. whatsitmean keeps asking where I get the idea that satan has no power which we do not allow...

Well, it's all through the good book, WIM, and I am with Jipsah--satan has already been defeated. He's just to arrogant to admit it yet.The only people who will be with satan when he falls are the arrogant and the fools anyway. He can't hurt me. Christ is all over me and writtne in the book of life big as day is MY name!

Is there any particular part of the good book you'd like to mention?

Defeated, yes.  Imprisoned, NOT yet.

JIPSAH YOU ARE ON FIRE TODAY, MAN! ON FIRE!! :read:  :)

How about this for some scripture:

Luke 10:17-20

10:17 And the seventy returned again with joy, saying, Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.

10:18 And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.

10:19 Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.

10:20 Notwithstanding in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rather rejoice, because your names are written in heaven. :read:

Oh, you prayed that the score for Nosferatu would be realllly bad, huh? :butbut: :read:

Couldn't have anything to do with having seen it umpteen times before.

I missed whatever you're asking about the "power thing". Is that what I responded to above with Luke chapter 10? You know if you've read the Bible that we have power over Satan in Christ's name. Surely you're not asking for specific scriptures because you doubt the truth of that statement?! :read:

You didn't answer my question about other fairy tales and stories that glorify magic. Do you see those as being "battles with demons"?

To me they are all the SAME. Dracula, Beauty and the Beast, Peter Pan, Cinderella, Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, Jack o'lanterns, the Monster Mash, Snow White--all the same. FANTASY, and I don't give them any importance in my life. Not until this conversation, that is!

I do not see any of it as a battle for my soul or loyalty! I see THAT way of thinking as paranoid. My Lord wants me to love others as I love myself, and tell others about Him. I rrrreeeeaaally don't think either God OR satan takes the other stuff we're so adamantly arguing here seriously!

Demons are real, though, and they fight us where we LIVE. For instance, arrogance, pride, vanity, sloth, self-righteousness, piety; these are true demons attacking us all the time, and this attack is ongoing and it's the kind that destroys us. Watching Dracula or even Nosferatu doesn't affect me either way, except to say "Wow, I'm glad movies are better made these days!" God doesn't mind the fantasy--remember, even kids who NEVER EVER see a movie will still pretend to have magical powers!! They still pretend to fly, to be invisible, to be invincible-- It is natural, as long as you keep it in its place, which is right there with Peter Pan and don't give it any more power than THAT!!

See, that's how it's overpowered. It's just NOT IMPORTANT!

You also didn't answer my question about witnessing to strangers and obeying His command in that way. Do you do that every day? Do you seek out ways to bring strangers to Christ? Do you tithe to the Lord? Follow His commandments every day? If you don't, that's the demons you should be worried about, my brother. :read:

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
