That has nothing to do with doctrine, but rather giving the devil an opportunity by sinning in anger. You wrenched it out of its context.

It is always telling how Satan tries to limit God as Word into little boxes of meaning as non-creating speech and 'holy information' and each little box somehow never seems to expose Satan's lies without, in the eyes of those deceived by Satan, self-invalidating their meaning. It's a nice little system for him in his own mind. But it is lie and those contained in the speech that supposedly understands all those little boxes and has arranged them just so in a certain order cannot see Satan past the system, speech or boxes no matter their arrangement. It is a most ingenius camouflage but nothing one would not expect of a former covering cherub deceived he has free will.
Yet God says to Satan and his system through us as real, literal new creations in Jesus Christ: Peek-a-boo all over you.
...and even so, So What? Merely seeing past Satan as lie is no big thing but just a beginning in real, literal new birth. Praise the Name of Jesus Christ forever.
Isaiah 47:10-12 For thou hast trusted in thy wickedness: thou hast said, None seeth me. Thy wisdom and thy knowledge, it hath perverted thee; and thou hast said in thine heart, I am, and none else beside me. Therefore shall evil come upon thee; thou shalt not know from whence it riseth: and mischief shall fall upon thee; thou shalt not be able to put it off: and desolation shall come upon thee suddenly, which thou shalt not know. Stand now with thine enchantments, and with the multitude of thy sorceries, wherein thou hast laboured from thy youth; if so be thou shalt be able to profit, if so be thou mayest prevail.
In the Name of Jesus Christ, Amen
