What Satan Can & Can’t Do

Nature of Satan: What He Can & Cannot Do

Satan has limited powers. He can only do what God allows him to do. Although he prepares a snare to trap and devour the unrepentant and those weak in faith (1 Timothy 3:7), we have victory in Christ.

Devils are evil and scheming, but they can’t fool Christians who seek the mind of Christ. They play to win, and their moves are calculated according to Dr. Karl Payne, who worked with demon possession.

They’re also organized with a clear plan as they move in groups and territories, relates ex-Satanist John Ramirez. In the Philippines, a former Satanist said they devote themselves to prayers every Friday at 3 a.m., aiming to divide families.

However, demons are weakened when we pray. They fear the light of Christ in us. As disciples of Jesus, we have delegated authority to cast demons out and refuse their presence.

SPIRITUAL WARFARE & DELIVERANCE.

1. The devils pretend to be good and of God

2 Corinthians 11:13-15
“For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. No wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light.

Therefore it is not surprising if his servants also disguise themselves as servants of righteousness, whose end will be according to their deeds.”

2. Satan seeks someone to devour

1 Peter 5:8
“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary, the devil, prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”

“Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one who accuses them before our God day and night.”

4. He is a murderer and father of lies

John 8:44
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. 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.”

9. He steals God’s word & chokes faith

“…The sower sows the word. And these are the ones along the path, where the word is sown: when they hear, Satan immediately comes and takes away the word that is sown in them.”

“For we wanted to come to you—I, Paul, more than once—and Satan hindered us.”

DANIEL 10:12 COMMENTARY.

11. Sets traps to captivate our mind to do his will

2 Timothy 2:25-26
“Opponents must be gently instructed, in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of the truth, and that they will come to their senses and escape from the trap of the devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.”

12. He can cause sickness or disease

COPING WITH TERMINAL CANCER.

13. Satan can torment if God permits

Job 1:12
And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person.” So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.

Matthew 4:1
Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil.

2 Corinthians 12:7
“Because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!”

SIGNS OF CHRISTIAN DEMONIZATION?

15. Satan can possess or demonize a person or animal

Luke 8:30
Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “Legion,” he replied because many demons had gone into him.

Matthew 8:31
The demons begged Jesus, “If you drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs.”

16. The Devil once had the power of death

Hebrews 2:14
“… the Son also became flesh and blood. For only as a human being could he die, and only by dying can He (Jesus) break the power of the devil, who had the power of death.”

Satan may have released death unto humankind when he tempted Eve, but Jesus alone has the keys of Hades and death” (Rev. 1:17–18)

Satan’s power is limited

The Book of Job illustrates the limited power of Satan. The LORD said to Satan, “Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his… (Job 2:1-11). Satan could not even mention the name of Job until God allowed him to do so.

  13. He Is A Coward

1 John 4:4
“You are from God, little children, and have overcome them; because greater is He who is in you than he who is in the world.”

God’s children are Satan’s trophies

God’s children are Satan’s trophies, but he can only harm us if God allows him. However, unbelievers are easy prey. He wants to devour God’s children (1 Peter 5:8); so they can fall into sin and fail in misery.

The enemy loves it when we’re full of anxiety, miserable, and defeated because it mocks God, whose image we bear. But the “glory of God is man fully alive,” Saint Ireneaus. Do not succumb to sin and allow the enemy to gain a foothold.

Do not give in to sin and allow the enemy A foothold.

What Satan wants for us

  • John 10:10 – To kill, steal, and destroy.
  • 1 Peter 5:8 – Satan hunts and wants to devour you.
  • 1 Samuel 18:10 – Harmful spirit rushed to King Saul to kill David.
  • John 10:20 – The man has a demon and is insane.
  • Luke 22:31–32 – He wants to sift God’s workers like wheat

What God wants for us

  • John 10:10 – Have life to the fullest and live it abundantly.
  • James 4:7 – Resist the devil so that it will flee.
  • Matthew 17:14-18 – Rebuked the enemy in Jesus’ name.
  • Luke 6:18 – Seek Jesus to heal our troubled minds caused by impure spirits.
  • John 15:5 – To bear fruit and be victorious by abiding in Christ.
Atheists, agnostics, and Satanists think Lucifer and his devils are harmless. Satan blinds their minds; they can’t see the truth, but Christians have victory through Christ!
