Your statement is self-contradictory.
We have the authority through Christ, if we are covered by his blood. That is the Priesthood of the new covenant.

Good point. Authority does come to us through Christ. But what power or authority has been granted us? According to scripture it seems to be limited to making disciples, baptizing, and being His witnesses. Christ granted his apostles power to cast out demons but that does not seem to extend to us, his disciples.
But I still stand by my basic premise, if we truly believe Christ is in control over this world, then everything happens for a reason. Seeing a demon at the window should not alarm us. It should only draw us closer to Christ. What should we fear?
I would suggest our problems are not as much with Satan and his demons as they are with ourselves and our fallen natures.
