GOD HAS NO OPPOSITE

Bad may be the opposite of good, but satan is not the opposite of God. There is no self-existent supernatural power in opposition to God, for God has no opposite... none whatsoever, and He is the only uncreated entity in existence. There are angels, some of which defied God with their free will -- just as man is inclined to do -- becoming devils, fallen angels, alienated from their creator. Satan, the chief devil, is defeated and doomed, powerless outside the scope of God’s allowings. He knows his fate is eternally sealed -- no power in Heaven or Earth can change what God has decreed -- and God’s clock is ticking. The finite cannot withstand the infinite, nor the created its creator... we human kind need to remember that.
GOD IS: God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent. If God is All Powerful, All Knowing and Ever Present – and He is! --  then there can be no supernatural power in opposition that He does not allow, and if He allowed it then it cannot be in opposition, but rather working out in some grand way His will. We see this clearly in Job where satan had to get permission from God to attack Job, and God set the type and limits of the attacks. God knew satan would rebel when He created him, knew man would disobey, knew He would sacrifice His beloved Son to redeem mankind, and wrote the saints names in His Book of Life before creation... eons before they even existed. God was... is... and will always be in control, and neither satan, his demons, nor mankind can oppose His will. GOD IS… IN CONTROL!
FAR ABOVE EVERY NAME: There is nothing “proper” about satan! I never capitalize his name, for he is not even worthy of the recognition give to a proper noun. God, on the other hand, is worthy of all our praise, glory, and honor, and is exalted “Far above all rule and authority and power and dominion and every name that is named -- above every title that can be conferred -- not only in this age and in this world, but also in the age and the world which are to come.” (Eph. 1:21, Amplified Bible) Capitalizing His name and any name that refers to Him -- even the pronouns that refer to Him -- is a constant reminder of Who and What He is to me, my King of kings and Lord of lords, a small way to honor Him in my writings. Some may call these grammatical errors… I call them worship!
“AND HE (GOD) PUT
 ALL THINGS
UNDER HIS (JESUS’) FEET”
ISN’T EVERYTHING A THING?
