Satan can't introduce great harm to our lives, bodily afflictions, loss of possessions, all kinds of misery.

But everything that Satan does is always under the sovereign authority of God. Satan can't move a finger without

the divine permission. As I began to learn about the sovereignty of God, I recall how relieved I was to discover

in the words of Martin Luther that the devil is God's devil, that Satan can't move a finger

without divine permission, as you just heard from R.C. Sprawl.

Welcome to the Friday edition of Renewing Your Mind. I'm your host, Nathan W Bingham.

I'm glad you're with us today.

As we conclude a week-long study of an area of theology and doctrine that is filled with confusion,

misconceptions, and in some cases even idolatry. All week you've heard messages

from R.C. Sproll's Angels and Demon series. And today is the final message

and the final day to request the DVD and Lifetime Digital Access at renewing your mind.org. So who is this angel of light? Can

Christians be possessed by him or other demons? Well here's Dr Sprawled with

this week's final message on the devil.

As we come now to the conclusion of our series on angels,

there's still much that we need to cover with respect to the activity

of Satan. We've already seen that he does not possess divine attributes, that though he's more powerful than we are, he's

not omnipotent, though he knows more than we do, he's not omniscient, and he cannot be in

more than one place at the same time because he's limited by his own

finitude as a creature.

We've seen also that he is one who is a liar, that he's clever and crafty, but yet at the same time he's

resistable. Now one of the things that's most often overlooked about the nature of Satan and his activity is his metamorphic character.

And when we speak of metamorphosis, we speak of that which changes in its outward appearance.
