Be sure to factor these verses (esp #11) into your appraisal of Satan.
We do have the advantage, in God.
II Corinthians 2:
10If you forgive anyone, I also forgive him. And if I have forgiven anything, I have forgiven it in the presence of Christ for your sake,
11in order that Satan should not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.
12Now when I went to Troas to preach the gospel of Christ and a door stood open for me in the Lord,
IMV, God has the advantage, and we pray for help.
