world, but also in that which is to come:
22 And hath put
all things under His feet...”

say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from Me, ye cursed, into

persuaded, that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor
principalities, nor powers, nor things present, nor
things to come,
39 Nor height,
nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us
from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus our Lord.

habitation, He hath reserved in everlasting chains under darkness
unto the judgment of the great day.

to the earth..."

Satan And
Demonic Spirits:

NKJV
32 As they went

33 And when the
demon was cast out, the mute spoke. And the multitudes
marveled, saying, “It was never seen like this in Israel!”
Matthew 12:22,23
KJV
22 Then one was
brought to Him who was demon-possessed, blind and mute; and He
healed him, so that the blind and mute man both spoke and saw.
23 And all the
multitudes were amazed and said, “Could this be The Son Of David?”
Satan And His
Earthly Followers:
II Corinthians
11:13-15 KJV
13 For such are
false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming
themselves into the apostles of Christ.
14 And no
marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light.
15 Therefore it
is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the
ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their
works.
Faith
Is The Victory:
Encamped along the hills of light,
Ye Christian soldiers, rise.
And press the battle ere the night
Shall veil the glowing skies.
Against the foe in vales below
Let all our strength be hurled.
Faith is the victory, we know,
That overcomes the world.
Refrain
Faith is the
victory! Faith is the victory!
O glorious
victory, that overcomes the world.
His banner over us is love,
Our sword the Word of God.
We tread the road the saints above
With shouts of triumph trod.
By faith, they like a whirlwind’s breath,
Swept on o’er every field.
The faith by which they conquered death
Is still our shining shield.
Refrain
On every hand the foe we find
Drawn up in dread array.
Let tents of ease be left behind,
And onward to the fray.
Salvation’s helmet on each head,
With truth all girt about,
The earth shall tremble ’neath our tread,
And echo with our shout.
Refrain
To him that overcomes the foe,
White raiment shall be giv’n.
Before the angels he shall know
His name confessed in Heav’n.
Then onward from the hill of light,
Our hearts with love aflame,
We’ll vanquish all the hosts of night,
In Jesus’ conqu’ring Name.

corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall

be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus
Christ.

it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten
the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his
mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass,
having the harps of God.
3 And they sing
the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of The Lamb,
saying, Great and marvelous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; Just
and True are thy ways, thou King Of Saints.

fear thee, O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art holy: for
all nations shall come and worship before thee; for thy judgments are
made manifest.

Kingdom of His dear Son,
14 who
purchased our freedom and forgave our sins.

is born of God over cometh the world: and this is the victory
