God fulfils His promises in Scripture and is revealed in the New Testament or New Covenant It is with a saddened heart that many will say it doesn’t apply because that was in the Old Testament or Old covenant. I assure you that Satan is real today; he still lives on and proved He does in confronting moments in Jesus’ life.
In Genesis 3:14-15… God talks to the Serpent.
14 The LORD God said to the serpent,“Because you have done this, cursed are you above all livestock and above all beasts of the field; on your belly you shall go,
and dust you shall eat all the days of your life.
15 I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and her offspring; he shall bruise your head, and you shall bruise his heel.”
In Revelation 12:9… The great dragon was hurled down--that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him.
The good news is that in the New Testament or New Covenant Satan is going to be destroyed.
Romans 16:20 …The God of peace will soon crush Satan under your feet. The grace of our Lord Jesus be with you.
Colossians 1:13
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves.
My friends this is how he was defeated. We have been brought in the light of the gospel. This is how Satan was bruised. God in human form took our place on the cross and was bruised for our Iniquity. When we come to know Him. We are His forever. John 10:29… My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand.
Because of Jesus Christ God’s only son died on the cross for us, we are His forever and more powerful than Satan.
1 Peter 2:24 …"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed."
Matthew 4:10,11 When Jesus was in the wilderness…
10. Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only,
11. Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.
Let us then Worship The Lord our God and continue to defeat the Devil by the Holy Spirit in the age of the Church as the Old covenant is revealed in the New Covenant which includes the Church.
John 16:11… and about judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned.
