Satan's power is dynamic not static

Hello Pivot. Thank you for debating me : ) I will start out with a famous passage from Job that I believe you refer to: Job 1:6-12 (New International Version 2011) Job 1:6 One day the angels came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came with them. Job 1:7 The LORD said to Satan, "Where have you come from?" Satan answered the LORD, "From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it." Job 1:8 Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil." Job 1:9 "Does Job fear God for nothing?" Satan replied. Job 1:10 "Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. Job 1:11 But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face." Job 1:12 The LORD said to Satan, "Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger." Then Satan went out from the presence of the LORD. In the context of: Luke 6:46-48 (New International Version 2011) Lk 6:46 "Why do you call me, "Lord, Lord," and do not do what I say? Lk 6:47 As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like. Lk 6:48 They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. (And) John 15:4-7 (New International Version 2011) Jn 15:4 Remain in me, as I also remain in you. No branch can bear fruit by itself; it must remain in the vine. Neither can you bear fruit unless you remain in me. Jn 15:5 "I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing. Jn 15:6 If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned. Jn 15:7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. (And) Isaiah 45:5a (New International Version 2011) Isa 45:5 I am the LORD, and there is no other; apart from me there is no God. (And) Deuteronomy 11:26-28 (New International Version 2011) Dt 11:26 See, I am setting before you today a blessing and a curse" Dt 11:27 the blessing if you obey the commands of the LORD your God that I am giving you today; Dt 11:28 the curse if you disobey the commands of the LORD your God and turn from the way that I command you today by following other gods, which you have not known. (And Lastly) Luke 10:17-20 (New International Version 2011) Lk 10:17 The seventy-two returned with joy and said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in your name." Lk 10:18 He replied, "I saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. Lk 10:19 I have given you authority to trample on snakes and scorpions and to overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you. Lk 10:20 However, do not rejoice that the spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are written in heaven." Jikpamu: In the context of all these verses and personal experience (I believe) that as a Christian I must submit to my Lord Jesus in obedience to Him if I wish to be successful against the kingdom of darkness and be protected from it (Job's hedge of protection). If I am disobedient to the Lord God of the Bible then I cannot expect that same Lord to protect me. Jesus (God) is infinitely more powerful than satan as powerful as he is and so he must submit in the case of a "Righteous" "Christ-filled" Christian to the will of God in that said Christian's life. He cannot break the hedge of protection though he try unless God allows him to do so apparently as in the case of Job by satan accusing the believer before God. I personally believe in reference to: James 1:2-4 (New International Version 2011) Jas 1:2 Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, Jas 1:3 because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Jas 1:4 Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything. (that) these trials/tests are administered by satan only under the approval of God for the strengthening of a believer's faith. Your turn Pivot...
