We discussed Satan's power; did he lie to Jesus when he said he could give him the kingdoms of the Earth? It is clear that Satan had some power on Earth (See 1 John 5:19 and 14:3) but our group believes that once you become a Christian, you are no longer of this world. Sadly, even though as a believer your sins are forgiven, there continues to be consequences of your sining and even though you are saved, you are not physically safe; 1 Peter 5:8 - Be sober-minded: be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. God gave Satan some power on Earth but our group believes that his power is limited by God. How much he has over us, who knows for as it is written in John 8:44 - ...he is a liar and the father of lies.
