Christ
Jesus said this concerning the Prince of this World, Satan:
'You
heard Me say, I AM going away and I AM coming back to you.'
If
you Loved Me, you would be glad that I AM going to the Father,
For
the Father is Greater than I.
I
have told you now before it happens,
So
that when it does happen you will believe.
I
will not speak with you much longer,
FOR
THE PRINCE OF THIS WORLD IS COMING.
HE
HAS NO HOLD ON ME,
But
the World must learn that I Love the Father
And
I do Exactly what My Father has Commanded Me.
(John
14:28-31, NIV)
The
same verse from the Amplified:
You
heard Me tell you, I AM going away, and I AM coming [back] to you.
If
you [really] Loved Me, you would be glad
Because
I AM going to the Father;
For
the Father is Greater and Mightier than I AM.
And
now I have told you [this] before it occurs,
So
that when it does take place you may believe
And
have Faith in and Rely on Me.
I
will not talk with you much more,
FOR
THE PRINCE (evil genius, ruler) of the World is coming.
AND
HE HAS NO CLAIM ON ME--
He
has Nothing in Common with Me,
There
is Nothing in Me that belongs to him,
He
has No Power over Me.
But
[Satan is coming and] I do as the Father has Commanded Me,
So
that the World may know (be convinced)
That
I Love the Father,
And
that I do only what the Father has instructed Me to do--
I
Act in Full Agreement with His Orders.
(John
14:28-31, AMP)
From
these verses we lean many important things.
We
learn that the Satan is the Prince, the Evil Genius, Ruler of this
World,
And
that he is coming to have Christ Jesus Crucified.
We
learn that Satan has Noting in Common with Christ Jesus;
There
is Nothing in Christ to give Satan Power over Him;
Satan
has No Hold on Him.
The Crucifixion of Christ Jesus was by Permission of God the Father.
The
willingness of Christ Jesus to Die for the Sins of the World,
Should
be Sufficient to convince anyone that He Loves the Father
And
does Exactly what the Father Commanded Him.
Satan
does have Power Over this World;
He
Owns the World, as it has been given to him,
And
he can give it to anyone he pleases. (Luke 4:6)
The
Sin Nature in every person gives him that Power.
However,
when a person turns to Christ Jesus and Surrenders to Him,
According
to Scripture,
And
Christ Jesus takes up Residence in that person,
Satan
cannot Touch them. Listen:
We
know [absolutely] that any one Born of God
Does
not [deliberately and knowingly] practice Committing Sin,
But
the One Who was begotten of God
Carefully
watches over and Protects him--
Christ's
Divine Presence WITHIN him Preserves him against the Evil--
And
the Wicked One does not lay hold (get a grip) on him or Touch [him].
We
know [positively] that we are Of God,
AND
THAT THE WHOLE WORLD [around us]
IS
UNDER THE POWER OF THE EVIL ONE.
And
we [have seen and] know [positively]
That
the Son of God has [actually] come to this World
And
has given us Understanding and Insight Progressively
To
Perceive (recognize) and come to know better and more clearly
Him
Who is True;
AND
WE ARE IN HIM WHO IS TRUE,
In
His Son Jesus Christ, the Messiah.
THIS
IS THE TRUE GOD AND LIFE ETERNAL.
(1
John 5:18-20, AMP)
Why
is America and the World in the Mess they are in?
It
is because they are Under the Power of the Evil One
Who
came to Steal, Kill and Destroy;
He
was a Murderer from the beginning, not holding to the TRUTH,
For
there is No Truth in him.
When
he Lies, he speaks his Native Language,
For
he is a Liar and the Father of Lies.
(John
8:44)
Why,
today, do we witness Stealing, Killing and Destroying;
Murdering
and Lying?
Because
Satan Rules those who do such things;
He
Rules ALL who do not belong to Christ Jesus.
The
Only Hope for any person or any Nation is REPENTANCE
And
Surrendering to the Rule of Christ by His Spirit.
