Every time something goes wrong, someone says,
“Well, Satan’s the ruler of this world…”
And while that used to be true.
That’s not the whole story anymore.
“Now is the judgment of this world;
now will the ruler of this world be cast out.”
— John 12:31
Jesus said that before the cross.
At Calvary, Satan was publicly humiliated.
“He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in Him.”
— Colossians 2:15
Let’s be clear.
The devil isn’t in charge anymore.
Jesus crushed him.
Jesus reigns.
And the only power Satan has now,
is what we give him.
So why do so many Christians act like he’s winning?
Because bad theology breeds weak soldiers.
If you think Satan is ruling the world, you’ll bunker down.
If you know Jesus is ruling, you’ll storm the gates.
“The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet.”
— Romans 16:20
Not under Jesus’ feet.
Your feet.
The Church is the boot.
That doesn’t mean the devil isn’t real.
It doesn’t mean we won’t face warfare.
But it does mean we fight from victory, not for it.
So stop giving Satan credit for what apathy caused.
He doesn’t own this world.
He doesn’t own your city.
He doesn’t own your family.
“All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me…”
— Matthew 28:18
All. Authority.
That means the devil has none.
So Church,
stop acting like Jesus lost.
And start living like the King already won.
