B. The StructureOf Satans Kingdom Ephesians 6:12<br />

This passage suggests there us a ranking of evil spirits. Satan is the head. Under him are rulers. These<br />

have rulership over nations and geographical regions. Dan 10:13, 20 and :11:1<br />

Authorities – these have authority over lesser regions, governments, people/ethnic groups. Powers<br />

of this dark world. Lower ranking. <strong>Spiritual</strong> forces of evil. Demons that harass people.<br />

C. Satan And Demons Have Limited Powers<br />

Satan cannot be in all palaces at all times as Gods Holy Spirit is Job 1:7, Matt 4:1,<br />

Luke 22:3<br />

Satan does not have all power to do all things Job 1:12, 2-6<br />

He cannot create or reproduce John 1:3-4<br />

Satan does not know everything about all things Col 1:26-27<br />

Demons do not understand all languages<br />

Demons cannot know your thoughts<br />

They do know Jesus and Jesus’ people Act 19:14-16<br />

D. The Mind Is The Battlefield 2 Cor 10:3-5, 4:4<br />

Satan is out to keep people captive to his own Kingdom. People are only released from his kingdom<br />

as they understand the gospel. It is with the mind the gospel is understood, Rom 10:14.<br />

Satan temps us in our minds. All sin begins with a thought. Demons speak into our minds Rom 1:28,<br />

8:7, 12:2, Col 3:2
