Come Out Of The Control Of The Evil One
In the model prayer that Jesus taught mentioned in Matthew 6 we find the verse - Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
What does that show? Everything on the Earth is under the devil’s control. It is our decision to allow God to take charge over our lives. The moment we receive Jesus as our saviour, we are under his authority.
In the garden of Eden, when Adam and Eve were under God’s authority, they did not face any troubles. But the moment Eve listened to the serpent and ate of the forbidden fruit, she was deceived and came under the devil’s authority. God does not control us but has given us freewill to make our choices.
The government of the country does not control each person individually. Instead the government looks after the overall needs of the people. In the same way, God has given us the freedom of choice.
Philippians 3:21 ‘ who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.’
The verse above states that the time will come when God will transform our lowly bodies into a glorious body like His.
Hallelujah!
There are different types of control:
John 10:10
‘The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.’
Job 1:6
‘One day the angels came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came with them. The Lord said to Satan, “Where have you come from?”
Satan answered the Lord, “From roaming throughout the earth, going back and forth on it.” Then the Lord said to Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job? There is no one on earth like him; he is blameless and upright, a man who fears God and shuns evil. ”“Does Job fear God for nothing?” Satan replied. “Have you not put a hedge around him and his household and everything he has? You have blessed the work of his hands, so that his flocks and herds are spread throughout the land. But now stretch out your hand and strike everything he has, and he will surely curse you to your face.”
The Lord said to Satan, “Very well, then, everything he has is in your power, but on the man himself do not lay a finger.” Then Satan went out from the presence of the Lord.
One day when Job’s sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, a messenger came to Job and said, “The oxen were plowing and the donkeys were grazing nearby, and the Sabeans attacked and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The fire of God fell from the heavens and burned up the sheep and the servants, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” While he was still speaking, another messenger came and said, “The Chaldeans formed three raiding parties and swept down on your camels and made off with them. They put the servants to the sword, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!”
While he was still speaking, yet another messenger came and said, “Your sons and daughters were feasting and drinking wine at the oldest brother’s house, when suddenly a mighty wind swept in from the desert and struck the four corners of the house. It collapsed on them and they are dead, and I am the only one who has escaped to tell you!” At this, Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head. Then he fell to the ground in worship and said: “Naked I came from my mother’s womb, and naked I will depart. The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised.” In all this, Job did not sin by charging God with wrongdoing.’’’
Whatever Satan tried to do to destroy Job was all in vain. Because the relationship between Job and God was strong.
Why did God allow Satan to destroy Job’s family?
Job 3:25
‘What I feared has come upon me; what I dreaded has happened to me.’
Fear is a snare. And Job was constantly afraid that something would happen to him or his family. Satan was able to enter through this door.
Summary
God has given us the freedom of choice. The choice to be under his authority and control. Everything on this Earth is under Satan's control. And the moment we receive Jesus as our saviour, we are no longer a slave but free in Christ our Savior.

There are different types of control:
- God’s control
- Devil’s control
- If we don’t resist the devil, he can control us in a passive way. Just like everyone we too live. Example : Lying, cheating.
- Joining cults, serving the Devil by doing witchcraft etc.
