00:00Satan is no match for the power of Jesus Christ, why do people still compare them?

00:09Let me start by asking a question that might challenge your understanding, why do people

00:14still compare Satan to Jesus, even though Satan is no match for Jesus' power?

00:19I want you to hold on to that question as we dive deep into this conversation, because

00:24the truth we are about to explore will change the way you see the spiritual battle forever.

00:29We all know that Jesus is the Son of God, our Savior, and the Redeemer of the world.

00:35His power, grace, and love are unmatched.

00:38Yet, many people, consciously or unconsciously, give Satan more attention and fear than he

00:44deserves.

00:45They compare his evil power to the goodness and authority of Jesus, but this is where

00:50we need to correct our thinking.

00:52First of all, Jesus' authority is absolute.

00:55He isn't just more powerful than Satan, he is infinitely more powerful.

01:01Satan is a created being, fallen from grace, but Jesus is eternal, the creator of all.

01:07To compare the two is like comparing a drop of water to the ocean, or a flickering candle

01:12to the blazing sun.

01:14Colossians 1 16 reminds us that everything, including Satan, was created by Jesus, for

01:20by him all things were created, things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible,

01:25whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities, all things have been created through him and

01:30for him.

01:31Satan may have some influence in this world, but he is bound by limits that Jesus himself

01:36set.

01:37If we read the Gospels, we see that every time Jesus encountered demons, they trembled

01:42in fear and begged him for mercy.

01:45They knew who he was and that his authority was supreme.

01:48In Mark 1 24, a demon cries out, What do you want with us, Jesus of Nazareth?

01:55Have you come to destroy us?

01:57I know who you are, the Holy One of God.

02:00Even demons, servants of Satan, acknowledge that Jesus had power over them.

02:05So why do people still compare the two?

02:08One reason might be fear.

02:10Fear of evil is a common human experience, but we must remember that fear is often a

02:14tool Satan uses to distract us from Jesus' power and love.

02:191 John 4 18 tells us, There is no fear in love.

02:23Perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment.

02:28Jesus' love is perfect, and when we trust in him, there is no room for fear of Satan

02:33or any of his schemes.

02:35Another reason might be misunderstanding.

02:38Some people give Satan more credit than he deserves, thinking that his power is closer

02:42to Jesus than it actually is.

02:45The Bible is clear that Satan has already been defeated.

02:48When Jesus died on the cross and rose again, he disarmed the powers of darkness and secured

02:53our victory over sin and death.

02:56Colossians 2 15 says, Having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle

03:02of them, triumphing over them by the cross.

03:05Satan is not a rival to Jesus, he is a defeated enemy.

03:10So how does this truth apply to our lives today?

03:13It's crucial that we recognize the power of Jesus in our daily battles.

03:18When temptation comes, when fear rises, when doubt creeps in, we must remember that Jesus

03:23is far greater than anything Satan can throw our way.

03:27The enemy's tactics are real, but they are no match for the victory we have in Jesus.

03:32For example, think about the times when you've struggled with guilt or shame.

03:38Maybe you felt like your mistakes were too big for Jesus to forgive, or that you were

03:42too far gone to be redeemed.

03:45But that's a lie from Satan.

03:46Jesus' power to forgive and redeem is limitless.

03:50His grace covers all our sins, and he invites us to rest in the freedom he offers.

03:55Romans 8.

03:57One assures us, therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.

04:03Satan can't condemn you when Jesus has set you free.

04:06Let's look at this from a real-life perspective.

04:09Imagine a person walking through a dark forest at night, feeling completely surrounded by

04:14danger.

04:15Every noise, every shadow, seems like a threat.

04:19But then, a powerful light shines through the trees, cutting through the darkness.

04:24That light represents Jesus.

04:26It's not just a small flicker, it's a blazing beam that illuminates everything, exposing

04:31the dangers for what they really are, small, insignificant, powerless in the face of the

04:36light.

04:38That's what Jesus does, he reveals Satan's lies and shines the truth that sets us free.

04:43The mistake we make is allowing Satan to appear bigger than he is.

04:48When we focus on Jesus, Satan's power fades away because it's nothing compared to the

04:53overwhelming love and authority of Christ.

04:55Now, if you're hearing this and thinking, how do I live in that victory every day?

05:01Let me offer you some practical advice.

05:04Stay connected to Jesus through prayer and the Word of God.

05:07When you pray, you are not only talking to Jesus, but you are also aligning your heart

05:12with his truth.

05:14And his word is your sword against the enemy's lies.

05:17Remember how Jesus defeated Satan in the wilderness?

05:20He used scripture.

05:22Every time Satan tried to tempt him, Jesus responded with, it is written, Matthew 4,

05:271-11.

05:28You have access to that same power.

05:32Let me also encourage you to surround yourself with fellow believers who will remind you

05:36of the truth when you're feeling weak.

05:39The enemy loves to isolate us, but Jesus created us for community.

05:43Together, we are stronger, and we can support one another in the faith.

05:48To sum it all up, Satan is no match for the power of Jesus.

05:53There is no comparison.

05:55We need to stop giving Satan more attention than he deserves and start focusing on the

05:59victory that Jesus has already won for us.

06:02Jesus' love, power, and authority reign supreme, and when we trust in him, we have

06:08nothing to fear.

06:10If this message spoke to you today, I want to lead you in a prayer to Jesus.

06:14Jesus, I thank you for your victory over sin, death, and the enemy.

06:20Thank you for reminding me today that Satan is no match for your power and love.

06:25I ask that you help me to live in the truth of your word and to trust in your authority

06:29over every challenge I face.

06:32Strengthen my faith, Jesus, and guide me closer to you each day.

06:36I love you, and I know that you have already defeated the enemy.

06:41Help me to rest in that victory.

06:43In your mighty name, Amen.
