All Christians can be is spiritual battles. Satan is real, as real as our Lord Jesus. Do you have spiritual battles, and how do you fight is in your life. In the book of Jude, Michael the Angel. Did not even discuss with Satan, only rebuke him. In the name of the Lord. That is all. We can also and then claim victory.

Jesus has given us authority in his name to cast out demons and we must do as he commanded.
God bless.

In ancient Jewish tradition Satan is simply an angel doing the work that God assigned to Satan to do.
The word Satan means challenger. With the idea of Satan challenging us, or tempting if you will. This description sees Satan as the angel who is the embodiment of man's challenges. This idea of Satan works closely with God as an integral part of Gods plan for us. His job is to make choosing good over evil enough of a challenge so that it becomes clear to us that there can be only one meaningful or logical choice.
Contrast this to Christianity, which sees Satan as God's opponent. In Jewish thought, the idea that there exists anything capable of setting itself up as God's opponent would be considered polytheistic or setting up the devil to be an equally powerful polarity to god or a demigod.
Oddly, proof for The Christian satan/devil mythology is supposedly found in the ancient Jewish texts that were borrowed to create the bible. One can’t help but wonder how Christians came up with such a fantastically different interpretation of Gods assistant Satan in their theology.
Other hints about Satan’s role in human relations can be seen if you look at the name Lucifer. It meaning in the original tongue translates as Light bearer or light bringer. Essentially the bringer of enlightenment. The temptations of the Satan idea bring all of us eventually into Gods light. Hardly the Evil entity of Christian mythology.

He is real but ours is the victory through the shed blood of our Lord Jesus Christ. Satan is powerless over a true believer.

ultimately it rather is the devil who caues this conflict, yet we do have a say in who wins the conflict. As Joyce Meyer and a great style of others have written in books, it rather is the BATTLEFIED OF THE recommendations. and until eventually we placed up our will to Gods will on a daily basis and obey God in all issues, the conflict would be lost. WE dont conflict. God does the conflict for us. yet He tells us how via His HOly Spirit, and it isnt His fault if we wont pay attention. God doesnt make us do something, Nor does the devil. yet the two ingredient will attempt to drag us their way. one way is life, GOD< and the different is loss of life< devil. it rather is our determination who we pay attention to and in charge the devil is surely incorrect. God wont hear that execuse or any others. IF we line up our will with Gods will, devil wont succesfully tempt us with something, becasue what's vile to God would be in simple terms as vile to us. The conflict of the flesh would desire to be completely submitted to God in perfect obedience, Jesus became into tempted and HE lived without sin. HOW? by potential of perfect obedience to the daddy. in simple terms as we are commanded to do. With God all issues are accessible and convey approximately victory. without God, it is going to all circulate to break. the alternative is ours. do we would desire to sin extra, or please God extra.?? Thats a solid place each and every persons would desire to start. IF we fairly love God < fairly and are born back, we could have the character and recommendations of JEsus Christ, along with his very stunning character, and sin will now not be an argument. earlier we die or Jesus comes back to take us homestead, we would desire to be like Jesus. and because he's coming quickly. we could get waiting and stay waiting to fulfill Him whilst He comes. Hallelujah. SFCU Spirit crammed Christians United sure and Amen. Hallelujah. God bless you. Sister Shirley

Why all the attention on Satan. He is a puke! Give God the glory and speak of Him with adoration.

Actually you are incorrect satan is a hebrew word meaning adversary and not a literal character, perhaps you should reseach this.
