Was satan so powerful he broke the curse God placed upon him? Or did God release him from the curse?
ME: Gen 3:14 ME: Genesis 3:14 states that the curse itself is as much a death curse as the curse of death is for Adam and Eve and all mankind. The reason God mentioned the animals is that the angel became less than the animals, whose spirit would return to God. The angels are bound to die in the Lake of Fire, which represents eternal death or becoming nonexistent, as if they were never created. He was “cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field.”
To further comprehend the curse imposed upon the angel, it was decreed that it would limit its lifespan. This curse is governed by the lifespan of mankind living in sin. As long as there exists a human being who sins, the angel will continue to exist. The angel sustains itself or exists because there are humans on Earth who have not overcome their sins. Humanity is the dust upon which the angel feeds, and it will pursue its own desires until the end of the 1000-year reign.
The curse itself doesn’t restrict the travel or movement of the angel in any way. He is free to be wherever humans can be or travel to. The angel is connected to humanity as an anchor is to a ship. I believe his deepest wish is that humanity will continue to produce offspring. More babies mean a longer life for this angel and his angels who follow after him. This is why he doesn’t want humanity to overcome. Overcomers don’t have children and are not human mortals capable of sinning.
The angel (Satan) possesses no more supernatural power than any other being created by God. While he shares the same abilities as other heavenly angels, his existence is granted by God and governed by Him. His power is a mere afterthought or a fleeting wish; it is a manifestation of God’s will. When the Lord permitted the temptation and tribulation to befall Job, He allowed the angel to employ any means imaginable to break Job, except for the ultimate act of killing him. This was a singular occurrence, and there is no record of the angel possessing such extraordinary supernatural power in any other part of the Bible. The only other occurrence that tells of supernatural abilities by the angel which every comes close to experiencing a similar temptation is with the Lord Himself during His wilderness trial.
God’s children, particularly those who possess the Holy Ghost and are well-informed about who and what adversaries are, should not fear angels or any supernatural entities or creations, including demon processions.
Fallen angels can only influence humans through the same means as the Lord does—through His words and ideas conveyed through any available communication channels. That is his power; he are the prince and power of the air.
Eph 2:2 Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
God has never released the fallen angel or his angels that have followed him, their is no redeemer for a fallen angel and no repentance given nor accepted. The angel has been sentenced to die and is struggling and fighting to keep mankind producing more and more babies. He has to stop overcoming at any cost and is influencing the children of disobedience every single moment of his lingering existence.
He is not our greatest enemy; we are our greatest foe. The Old Man is and has more power than the fallen angel. However, the Old Man is the fallen angels’ best friend. The Old Man was the first man the angel ever had a conversation with, influencing her to do wrong.
