Job 1:6, for a unique look at the ability of that supernatural being, Satan, to cause havoc in this world. "Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them. And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.'
Satan's to God answer was, "I was on the earth, going to and fro in it, and walking up and down in it." Now, this is incredible, because we conceive of the earth as being a pretty big place, even by today's modern standards. But, it is not a big place to Satan, for he can just going to and fro and walk up and down in the earth. The picture here is that of you and your garden; you certainly can going to and fro and walk up and down in it, can't you? To you, a garden is not a terribly big place, and you are its undisputed master. The earth is the same type of thing with Satan. For this supernatural demon, the earth is a mighty small place, and its human inhabitants are easy pickings. We humans have no concept of the power of Satan and his demonic host, for not only are they more than a match for any human, they hate all mankind with a vengeance, because we are all "made in the image of God". This brings me to point 2 in my discussion of the power and ability of occultists to achieve their goals.
2. God is in control, even of the demonic host and their leader, Satan/Lucifer
God is in such control of world events that Satan and his demonic host cannot do anything that is not allowed by God.
