How Does the Devil Control Human Life? ... This study revealed that among the 3,546 persons interviewed, belief in the devil's existence was up 11 per cent and the certainty of God's existence was down 8 per cent. Though Satan is neither omnipotent nor omniscient, he has tremendous powers of manipulation. The Bible says, "And we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness" I John 5:19. His sword of craftiness is wielded in the time and space container in which we dwell. The most catastrophic blunder man can make is ... you the whole amour of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having on the breastplate of righteousness; and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith you shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God" Ephesians 6:13-17. Click Your Choice Go To Start: WWW.BIBLE.CA ... https://www.bible.ca/su-devil-control.htm

There are implications in Scripture that Satan is a spirit being who was formerly an angel. The Bible alludes to fallen angels in II Peter 2:4 and Jude 6.
