We are warned by Christ that if an army comes with more men then we have; we have to assess our strength and plan accordingly. ( Luke 14:31). Since Satan is the "god of this world" ( 2 Cor. 4:4) and Christ never disputed with him about being given authority over the Kingdoms of the earth ( Luke 4:6) we only have 3 options. Namely; to either worship Satan; surrender to Him; or operate in the power of the Holy Spirit through Christ who has overcome hell and the grave and who exercises all authority over heaven and earth. ( Matt. 28:18).
The scope of Satan's rulership; therefore is interwoven throughout the world governments; institutions; and hierarchy. It is entangled throughout every false religion of the earth. The imaginations of men are blinded to the Gospel truth; and his desires are always to lead men to their destruction by giving them delusions that they can hold onto their possessions; loved ones; or positions in life forever. God therefore must do a miraculous transformation when one is "Born Again" so that they realize that they were headed for eternal damnation on the wide road until the narrow path was revealed to them. Satan himself can certainly fear Christ and knows that he is defeated; but there is no love for Him. If he can continue to control our lives after salvation and render us ineffective; we stand to lose our rewards and therefore risk an early departure from this life ( 1 Cor. 11:30).
Therefore; the war is won but many battles continue. We can be as Christ trusting God the road He has predestined for us in order to complete the works for us prepared from before creation ( Eph. 2:10). Pain and suffering are all necessary even though none of us can grasp it fully. As long as we are walking in the Spirit Satan cannot affect our soul. If we allow sin in any part of our lives; however God can and does use the enemy to oppress us. He can allow physical affliction as well as we see with Paul (2Cor12:8
Richard A proper assessment in regards to Pauls thorn in the flesh it was not his physical problems where ever he
went there were always judean rulers zealous for the law that wanted to track him down and kill him. Also he had
to deal with the unbelievers and the believers who needed to be reproved and corrected who were not walking by
the spirit which in many cases they didn't copped out on what he taught and got to the point of not believing'anymore and wanted to have no contact with him. Its was so bad that in 2 Timothy 1;15 all asia turned away from him. thats bad.

knows the devil is god of this world because it was handed to him in gen. look at luke 4:5-7 also in JAMES 1:12-17 all good
and perfect gifts come from the father of lights, also God can't be tempted neither tempt He any man. I see biblically where
that's true in respect to accomplish what he wants to bring to pass according to what His Word promises. Even in our lives
we are so to speak spiritually untouchable as long as we walk spiritually in CHRIST althiough our physical bodies die daily.
