Satan has been elevated to a position out of proportion, or totally ignored in Christian circles for a long time. The greatest revelation that you can get out of the Bible about the devil is that he always being dealt with, defeated, and cast out. The Bible does not specify that there is a deliverance ministry as such; the devil is simply to be dealt with by casting him out when he rears his head. He gets most of his power from people who are tempted, lied to, and deceived. He has been a murderer and a liar and has been inspiring sin from the beginning. Jesus came into the world to undo all the works of the devil, which is the sin issue. We overcome the devil by understanding our full redemption through the cross. The devil cannot enter the heavenly realm but operates in a breathable atmosphere. The devil is not Lucifer, was not a worship leader in heaven, or an ex-archangel. Satan was a created being in the order of the animal world. In order for man to stand in righteousness there had to be something wicked so that man could utilize his free choice and say to a tempting enemy “no, I have all authority over you” just as Jesus did when He was tempted in the desert.
