    Satan’s Limitations: Satan Is Not Omnipotent Series

    Contributed by Jenny Franklin on Sep 12, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 3,221 views

    Job 1-2 reveals Satan’s limitations. Satan is not God’s equal opposite. Unlike God, Satan isn’t omnipresent (everywhere), omnipotent (all-powerful) or omniscient (all-knowing). This session’s focus: Satan is not omnipotent; he can only do what God allows. So why does God allow suffering?

    ************* Satan Is Not OMNIPOTENT (All-Powerful) The Lord asked Satan, “Have you considered my servant Job; there is none like him in the earth.

    Hail To The King Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 6, 2025
     | 27 views

    When heaven thunders and earth falls silent, every false throne collapses — and only the true King stands, reigning in mercy and power.

    When Heaven Starts Throwing Stones The morning sky looked ordinary—blue stretched thin above the Nile, windless, calm. Then the first crack of thunder rolled across the horizon like a war drum.

    Battles are fought under a flag as their banner. The Lord is our banner, leading us forward in this life
