Consider both Peter, Paul and Judas for an example in the word of the interactions between Jesus, people, Satan.

Satan entered into Judas, so Judas became possessed.
Judas though was the traitor, and also appointed to this to fulfill scripture.

Peter and Paul the LORD allowed some interaction with Satan into their life, but they were saved. For Peter, some needed disciplining, for Paul to keep Paul humble. This was under the control and authority of Jesus the entire time.

Luke 22

Peter was only oppressed, being used by Satan, Jesus rebuked Satan who was speaking through Peter.



Jesus also says to Peter, when you have turned strengthen your brothers.
Luke 22


2 Corinthians 12:7

The Thorn in the Flesh

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.
