God does not want the enemy to control us – He wants us to be in control of the enemy! Satan no longer has any power over the children of God, except what we allow him to have in our lives – Jesus took his authority away at the cross.
When our minds are concentrated on the things of God, and His Word, then the blessings of God will overtake us. Satan cannot stop the work of God at large, but He can stop it in individual lives, by distracting the saints, and causing them to put their attention on the things of the world, getting them to get out of the position required to receive the blessings.
Key Scriptures: Ephesians 4:17-27, Isaiah 14:12-16, Colossians 2:11-14, 1 Peter 5:5-8
