He is not only the god of this aion of age, but also the prince of the kosmos , this world s system or organization. This world is operating under a system. Birth entitles you to operate under this system. In it, satan has counterfeited God to meet the basic needs of man. God offers us fulfillment, freedom, relationship, worship, protection, health and prosperity and satan has a counterfeit for each.
Man needs protection.
Now these things are NOT bad, but they do not match what God has. If I hadn t been born into this world, I could never have been born in God s kingdom. If it hadn t been for the world s system, a lot of us would have been dead a long time ago. I ve gone to a doctor, but the more I move on with God, the more I depend on Him. There is more power in one scripture than there is in all the doctors in the earth.
