All that typing and some still don't see with spiritual eyes. God Created the Unicerse and all therein (John 1). He is the Sovereign over ALL He has created, including satan. He is Sovereign over me as well. He has given to me the astonishing gift of the responsibility to choose His Life in me or choose not to have His Life in me. I imagine that
really ticks off satan. That God would offer His Life to indwell lowly humans who decide, in the small sovereignty God has given to them over their choices, to accept such a glorious, unfathomable Gift! So satan works all the time, unceasingly, to get humans to ignore or disregard, or scoff at, or not believe that God is offering this unfathomable Gift to them.
At any moment in time upon any point in His Creation, God has the final call. Always. From the Bible and the Creation we may know that God IS and that He promises. God is Love. He said so. Can love be forced?
There is only one certain barrier to Truth, our presuppositions. Paraphrasing Edmund Spencer
