The Triumphant Church

The Triumphant Church

are constantly ravaged by the wiles of Satan and are in
a state of continual failure and defeat.
But the triumphant Church is the biblical
perspective of the Body of Christ seated with Christ in
heavenly places far above all powers and principalities
(Eph. 1:3; 2:6). The triumphant Church scripturally
portrays a Body of believers who not only know but
exercise their authority in Christ and therefore reign
victoriously in life through Jesus Christ over Satan, a
defeated foe (Rom. 5:17).
In this age when demon activity is increasing
around the world, it is vital that believers know what
their redemption in Christ entitles them to. We need to
be fully convinced of the authority that is ours because
of the victory Jesus has already won for us over all the
power of the enemy. The only way we can have
confidence in our authority over the enemy is to know
and walk in the light of the written Word of God.
With that introduction, let's go to the Book of
beginnings, Genesis, and start our study by
investigating the origins of Satan and lis kingdom.

Hints of a Possible Pre-Adamic
Kingdom
The origin and fall of Satan, or Lucifer, as he was
called is made fairly clear in Scripture. He was called
Lucifer before his expulsion and fall from Heaven, but
Satan after his expulsion and fall. The origin of demons,
devils, or evil spirits is not made so clear.
Some Bible scholars believe millions of years
elapsed between Genesis 1:1 and Genesis 1:2. And some
believe there could have been an original earthly
kingdom before the creation recorded in Genesis chapter
