How would you put it?I wouldn’t put it that way, but okay.
Satan runs the world. Scripture says so. Jesus gave me authority over myselfAnd Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to keep all that I commanded you; and behold, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.”
— Matthew 28:18-20
Hopefully this clears up the confusion that Satan is currently running things.
Because this is so, we see that God waits for us to pass authority over ourselves, to Him. We surrender to the Good Shepherd out of recognized need for Him. It's the only thing that we have to give. That is Bold Faith... yetSatan runs the world. Scripture says so. Jesus gave me authority over myself

I myself never claimed to be perfect. Paul was weak with great fear and trembling. The godless have no fear.Because this is so, we see that God waits for us to pass authority over ourselves, to Him. It's the only thing that we have to give. That is Bold Faith... yet
1 John 4:18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love. 19 We love because He first loved us.
Can I join you in the SS Not Perfect? I'm right there with you.I myself never claimed to be perfect. Paul was weak with great fear and trembling. The godless have no fear.
Yes. There is plenty of room I think.
Amen. Plenty of room my friend.Psalm 16:5 You, Lord, are all I have, and you give me all I need; my future is in your hands.6 How wonderful are your gifts to me; how good they are!7 I praise the Lord, because he guides me, and in the night my conscience warns me.8 I am always aware of the Lord's presence; he is near, and nothing can shake me.9 And so I am thankful and glad, and I feel completely secure,10 because you protect me from the power of death. I have served you faithfully, and you will not abandon me to the world of the dead.11 You will show me the path that leads to life; your presence fills me with joy and brings me pleasure forever.
This passage is what I thought of when I read your OP full of inspirational things. Link to your inspiration OP
That God ordains all things that come to pass.How would you put it?
How can Jesus give you authority if Satan is running all things?Satan runs the world. Scripture says so. Jesus gave me authority over myself
.
Jesus says otherwise. I’m going with Jesus.How did the apostles authority work out? It got them killed and abused. Satan runs this world.
God ordained my daughter to be raped at 7 years old?That God ordains all things that come to pass.
My wife suffered that way too. Many people probably do. This world is like revelation 18. Its a cage for unclean birds. People think its a lovely place however where we live like kings and queens happily ever after. Their church doesn't teach them properly in my opinionGod ordained my daughter to be raped at 7 years old?
See Matthew 28:18.John 14:30 I will no longer talk much with you, for the ruler of this world is coming, and he has nothing in Me.
For going against the world system.Jesus said that the the apostles didn't die in their body? You know he didn't say that so why were they killed?
I’ll answer you by asking a question. What was the greater injustice…the rape of your daughter (which is horrible), or the crucifixion of Jesus?God ordained my daughter to be raped at 7 years old?
Hopefully this clears up the confusion that Satan is currently running things.
