Matthew 4:8-11
Genesis 16

God shows us that Satan does have some power in the world...
2 Corinthians 4:4
John 12:31
1 John 5:19
Man fumbled the power and Satan took possession of it.

Revelation 5
Death caused us to forfeit control.
Jesus paid it all.
Satan tries to steal God's praise.

Satan was trying to get Jesus to compromise.
Compromise is cancerous.

Romans 14:23 anything done without faith is sin.

It often looks worse before it gets better.
