God’s Authority Cannot Be Usurped
No matter how hard the Devil tries, he can never overpower the Lord and His authority.
Psalm 2:1-4, speaks of the nations’ rage against God and His anointed one but ultimately declares that God sits in the heavens and laughs at their futile attempts to oppose Him.
Those who seek to oppose God or align themselves with the Adversary will ultimately be defeated.
“For the Lord your God is the one who goes with you to fight for you against your enemies to give you victory.”
Deuteronomy 20:4
Scripture confirms that Satan is a very influential spiritual adversary who is given dominion over the power of the airwaves.
“in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient.”
Ephesians 2:2
The Bible is clear that Satan is a mighty spiritual adversary of God, and has been given authority over the power of the air (airwaves).
“Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour.” 1 Peter 5:8
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” Ephesians 6:12
However, God is sovereign and ultimately has full command over all of Creation.
“For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together.”
Colossians 1:16-17
Satan Prince Of The Air
As in Ephesians 2:2 : ruler of the kingdom of the air
Prince
Air
Airwaves are electromagnetic radiation that serves as a medium for transmitting information, including radio and television signals, over vast distances.
What Do Airwaves Have To Do With My Message?
The airwaves can be described as the spiritual realm, which is unseen but constantly present and active. Just as electromagnetic radiation travels through the air, the Holy Spirit moves and works in the spiritual realm, transmitting messages and guidance to those who are open to receiving them. And just as licenses are required to use the airwaves for broadcasting, we must seek permission and advice from God before using our spiritual gifts and resources to serve others and spread His message.
Satan’s Influence
Satan has a significant influence over the spiritual atmosphere that surrounds us. Just as airwaves transmit information, Satan can use his power to share negative thoughts, emotions, and temptations with people.
We Must Remain Grounded
As believers, we must be aware of the spiritual atmosphere around us and guard ourselves against the negative influences that Satan may try to transmit through the air. We do this by staying grounded in God’s word, praying for protection, and surrounding ourselves with other believers who will encourage and uplift us.
Airwaves are a valuable aid for transferring information; we must be mindful of the spiritual realm and the influence that Satan, the Prince of the air, has been given, by God, over it.
We must keep in mind: The Lord has complete control over Satan’s control over the airwaves, and nothing that Satan does can change that. Satan may attempt to use these airwaves to deceive and manipulate, but the Lord will always be the one with the ultimate authority, satan only does as the Lord wills.
The schemes of the enemy are nothing but mere pawns in the hands of the Almighty. Satan needs permission to act because he is not the master of his own fate, but rather a mere puppet in the grand scheme of things.
The flesh may revile at the thought of God’s complete authority, but it is a truth that cannot be denied.
God is the Lord of life and death, and everything in between. He owns the very air we breathe and is sovereign over everything in the heavens and the earth.
“For in him we live and move and have our being.”
Acts 17:28a
The Holy Scriptures teach us that the Almighty Creator is the Master of all existence, both the beginning and the end, and all that lies in between. He is the possessor of every breath we take, and His dominion extends over all the celestial and terrestrial realms.
Psalm 33:10,11 proves that people may believe in their own free will, but their plans are immediately nullified by the only one with true free will – the sovereign God. He has ordained beforehand the actions of men and planned every outcome, paving every step and calculating every second, whether physical or spiritual.
GOD ORDAINED PILOT
In the divine plan, God appointed Pilate to judge the Son, and God allowed adversaries to rise against his chosen ones. While God does not author sin, he does permit evil to occur through secondary causes to fulfill His divine purposes and bring glory to His name.
In short, Satan may think he’s in control, but he’s just a pawn in the hands of the Almighty.
