- Paul adds that we also formerly walked “。。。according to the prince of the power of the air... ” (Ephesians 2:2).
The phrase “according to” is once again taken from the word kata, the same Greek word that has already been used once in this verse to convey the ideas of domination, manipulation, and control.
Paul says we were also
dominated by “the prince of the power of the air.”
Scripture tells us three things about Satan in this verse:
1. He is a prince.
2. He has genuine authority.
3. His power base is located in the lower regions of the air.
First, this verse tells us that Satan is a “prince.”
The word “prince” is taken from the word archonta, and it
refers to
- one who is in first place or one who is in a ruling position. It describes a potentate, ruler, chief, or prince.
This shouldn't surprise us! In
- Matthew 9:34, the Bible tells
us that Satan is “the prince of the devils"
- and even ascribes a real kingdom to him called “the power [or the kingdom] of darkness” (Colossians 1:13).
- In John 12:31, Jesus calls Satan “the prince of this world.”
In Second Corinthians 4:4 the apostle Paul specifically
states that Satan is “the god of this world.” Paul continues in this verse to tell us that as “the god of this world,” Satan has
“。。。blinded the minds of them which believe not...” so they cannot see the truth.
Sorry Ozzy, you are not the true prince of darkness.
In addition to these well-known scriptures that identify Satan as a “prince,”
Ephesians 6:12 also tells of an entire ordered
demonic system that is under Satan's domain. Satan himself is lord over these demonic hosts.
**Therefore,Satan is a real prince over demon spirits and
exercises real authority over the affairs of lost men and women whom he has blinded.
Second, this verse tells us that Satan has “power.”
Paul designates Satan as “the prince of the power of the air.” The word “power” is derived from the word exousia. The word exousia would be more accurately translated “authority.” Since Satan is a real prince over a real kingdom, it should not surprise us that his dark kingdom has real authority to back up his wicked reign.
During Jesus'40-day temptation in the wilderness, the Bible says,“And the devil, taking him up into an high
mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time. And the devil said unto him, All this power [exousia, meaning authority] will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to
whomsoever I will I give it” (Luke 4:5,6).
Third,Satan's power base is located in death and
the “air.” resurrection!
The word “air” is taken from the word aer, and it was used
by the classical Greek writers to describe the lower, denser regions of the earth's atmosphere
SO WHY DOES THIS CONCERN ME?
- Satan is real - DONT DOUBT IT FOR A SECOND.
- Satan has authority - you must operate under a greater authority.
- Satan rules only over the earth from the lowest heaven. Daniel prayed 21 days before he got an answer. We war in heaven, but our answers are fulfilled on earth. It takes time.

Redemption
4 words
1 - AGORIDZO Exagorazo is used 4 times in the NT (Gal 3:13; 4:5 Redeemed unto Adoption Eph 5:16; Col 4:5) and is translated: The word here translated “redeem” literally means to purchase in the market, making the most, 2; redeem, 1; redeemed described the slave market, satan owns us as slaves before we come to X.
SLAVE markets… what you know about them from our own American history is bad, but during the time of Rome, it was much far worse in fact, completely, and utterly disgusting and repulsive.
EVERY TIME THEY WERE RESOLD THEY WERE FAR MORE BROKEN AND EASY TO MANIPULATE.
GOD SENT JESUS FROM HEAVEN DOWN INTO THE SLAVE MARKET EARTH.
Rom. 7:14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin.
The truth is even after we become reborn in Christ, Satan still wants us to think and act like a slave.
DEMONICALLY ENERGIZED Paul continues to tell us that Satan is “。。。the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” (Ephesians 2:2).
What a shocking discovery this is-to find out that before
our life in Jesus Christ, we were demonically energized by the power of Satan himself.
NOW BACK TO AGORIDZO
The word agoridzo, fully understood in the context of
“redemption,” means that Jesus came to redeem us from this miserable state of bondage.
It is imperative for us to understand the word agoridzo. This important word adequately portrays our spiritually bankrupt condition in the “slave market” of the world before Jesus Christ

How…
HOW….
Eph. 6:11 the wiles of the devil
Devil diablo…. Rapture…. A form of travel… not an event. Devil is not a person or name but actually a name for the process or strategy he uses or job description.
Balos - to throw
Dia - to separate from one side to the other
Lies, slander, accusations, memories… hit and hit and hit… pummel - to separate us from God, his word, his spirit, his plans.
If you believe satans lies - he will send an audience to applaud his accusations in the middle of the distress he created. They will reinforce satans voice… and then his most diabolical move is made…. He fills void.
- You will never have a good marriage… friends family and foes back that up…. You believe it and then satan sends Mr. Right, Mrs. Right
- You are different, you are odd, you are lonely, no one wants to be your friend, you are gay… voices back it up you believe it AND THEN SATAN BRINGS IN A MAN TO GROOM YOU INTO HOMOSEXUALITY.
- You are not a woman until you experience sex, friends, enemies, music, media, images, stories… PUMMEL HER PSYCHE, HEART, SOUL EMOTIONS, HER SELF ESTEEM….pummel a young girl into sacrificing her virginity Once a young person gives away their virginity, its easier and easier to give it to anybody.
- you will never have enough money.
Men you better have your head in Gods word daily for a good length of time…
You better teach your kids this tactic by the enemy and give them the biblical tools to stand against his attacks.

HOW DO WE SILENCE THE VOICES?
2 Cor. 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. Bring it into captivity
- WE TEAR DOWN - have a “we” that speaks into your life!
- DEMOLISH GK - Burn it to the ground
Dont stop until every voice is silenced.
Sodom and Gomorra
Jer. 23:29
“Is not my word like fire,” declares the LORD, “and like a hammer that breaks a rock in pieces?
- THE WORD OF GOD - bring it into captivity - is the picture of putting a roman soldiers sword into the back of an enemy. RAZOR SHARP
- Eph. 4:22-24 22to put off your former way of life, your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; 23 to be renewed in the spirit of your minds; 24and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness.…
Renew in the Spirit (Gods Spirit) of the mind
“Take on a NEW Spirit of the mind” - Gods spirit.
Dont just renew the mind… renew the spirit of the mind.
You can learn a scale… and only use it as a scale - you have to think about it. But once it's in you, and in your spirit, so to speak, you just play it freely..
The Holy Spirit can shatter those mindsets in seconds…. But there is always upkeep.

Road blocks suck…. Road block in Florida… totally lost and late for a flight…
Luke Happy B day!
1 Peter 3:7
7 Husbands, in the same way, treat (live with) your wives with consideration (wisdom) as a delicate (weaker) vessel, and with honor (one with value) as fellow heirs of the gracious gift of life, so that your prayers will not be hindered.
Hindered = road block, sharply cuts off the desired result… making the activity tedious.
Prayer gets tedious when you're not getting results. And maybe you've checked your whole life and everything seems good but you have forgot to check. How well you honor your wife.
....Husbands, in the same way, treat (live with) your wives with consideration (wisdom)
Consideration
knowledge gleaned from first-hand (personal) experience, connecting theory to application; "application-knowledge," gained in (by) a direct relationship
Yesterdays podcast, I started out by saying in order for this to work, you must be a man of God. And today is much the same, and that you need to understand your wife with wisdom, but not to manipulate her, but in fact, to show wisdom, to make her more like Christ.
Weaker - frail and unimpressive physically and morally…helpless.
Look, let's be honest as men there are times where our wives can get on our nerves simply because they seem helpless. We tell them what to do. We tell them how to solve the problem we tell them steps they can take and they just don't seem to follow through. And that's when we need wisdom and we need to treat them with love, regardless because they are weaker.

Eph. 5:22
Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
V. 33 Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
Respect - to obey, to desire, to win the favor of a God.
Does your husband feel desirable or desired by you?
When scripture calls the woman the weaker sex… one of the keys in understanding that verse is what it implies regarding the man…. And that is that he is stronger and will go through more trials, Temptations struggles and warfare in his relationship with God and with you and in life, then YOU the wife ever will.
- The man must be in right standing with God
No, the man can't be a bully and demand or Command but when he is a God-fearing loving husband, and he simply asks or expects out of your love for him to do the right thing -and you don't -it’s actually harder. * look if I demand my wife to do something and she doesn't well I guess - I get it because I'm being a Butthead. But when I'm truly a God-fearing loving man and she doesn't want to respect or serve or desire, then it's like slow poison to my system.
- The happiest wives and the most fulfilling marriages have wives that respect, submit and desire. Why? Because they have learned Gods ways are best…. Which means…
- Feelings are negated, they have learned to not let feelings dictate their life.
- Vows are taken in awe and fear before God. Wives ultimately will be held accountable by God to give an account of how well they served there husband…. By your actions did you make it easy for your husband to keep from temptation, to keep from being angry or bitter, to keep a soft heart towards you. Yes, he should always strive for this, but you are still part of the responsibility of making it easier for him. And you'll have to answer to God.

- The term warfare is used only 5 times in the NT and never in the context of the devil.
2 Cor. 10:3-5 Mental bondage
Tim. 1:18 a prophetic word to war the good war
2 Tim. 2:4 no man wars with the worlds affairs, details
James 4:1 war against the flesh
1 Peter 2:11 war against the flesh
The difference is stratos (warfare) and pal-ay wrestle.
We have already won the war… but we will wrestle
- pal-ay
Wrestle as if its life or death.
But the difference again is we wrestle and we war over over thoughts, mindsets and voices.
If we don’t wrestle as if it's life and death. Then we open up doors to Satan, where he can get a foothold and intern, allow demonic spirits to attach themselves to our behavior.
Eph. 4:27 and do not give the devil a foothold.
Foothold GK - opportunity, power, occasion for acting
DO NOT GIVE HIM A SEAT AT THE TABLE - HE WILL TAKE CONTROL.
Give him an inch and he will take a mile…
Give him an inch and he will take your mind.
***20 years ago in youth ministry we were trying to stop kids from cutting themselves, and now we are encouraging kids to cut things off!
WHY? We gave him a seat at the table!
The battle always starts in the mind.
Do your thoughts align with scripture?

Why you can love your spouse even when you hate your spouse… in fact you could actually rejoice when you are in moments and seasons, where you can't stand your spouse. Ultimately, it's the best thing for you if you understand what it means to be a disciple of Jesus Christ.
Your relationships (specifically marriage) is by far the very best venue in which to become more like Jesus. PERIOD! When you give up, check out, tune out, walk out, blame your spouse or God… you are just simply saying “hey this be like Jesus thing is not for me”. You may not see it that way,
(Insert excuses here… they changed, they hurt me, they're not who I thought they were, I thought I was marrying someone else, they've fallen in love with someone else, there was an fair, I just don't feel the same way about them anymore. We’ve grown apart.
but it is absolutely the very thing that is best prescribed for you to be more like Jesus. You can ignore this at your own peril… or you can embrace it and get excited about how much this is going to twin you with Jesus.
My wife gave me a Valentine's Day card yesterday with a two page letter in it praising me for what an amazing husband I am. I'm not saying this to Bragg but what I am saying is 38 years ago she would not have been able to write that letter. And the reason she can write that letter now is because there were many days and seasons I couldn't stand her. So how does this breakdown in real life, two weeks in a row? I don't want to be around her, but I've made a commitment and a covenant to be married to her so I must see God even more. Do you have the right heart and attitude towards my wife, and to love her. Moments like those throughout our life together is what has created me to be more like Jesus as well as her.
The question when you get married isn't about whether or not you want to have hot steamy sex great friendship, lots of laughter go on trips and experiences together. The question should be do I really want to be more like Jesus? Because if you - than get married, and stay committed for life! The outcome is inevitable, you have to be more like Jesus or you will be miserable..

God is a god of fashion and design and details. All one needs to do is simply look at creation, and you are overwhelmed at how much detail he put into the gift of creation for us to enjoy.
Song of Solomon is a love letter from a man to a woman and a woman to a man. As you read that you will understand, they take great details to explain how much one another means to them, and even use pictures and stories and emotions vividly to do just that.
Can you imagine if most men today wrote SS? Yeah I like your boobs and you smell like my favorite type food out at the fair…. Ahhhh the romantic
Detail starts in listening to your wife and then later that week asking her about how she is feeling about said conversation.
Recall places, conversations, feelings etc…
The truth is it doesn't take much to make your wife happy or feel loved, but it does take time and it does take details. Everyone wishes they had all the money in the world to spoil their spouse but still a spouse - in time -is wise enough to know that you put no effort into it just your wallet.
Details in your card… maybe some poetry
Heart vase, filled with chocolates, with flowers in it, and a $100 bill in it, and a hand written note of 3 favorite memories o my wife. But it really only cost me 20 bucks max.
