The Holy Spirit is not merely a mystical presence but the very breath, wisdom, and power of God working in and through believers. Isaiah 11:2 offers one of the clearest biblical outlines of the Holy Spirit's attributes, describing seven distinct manifestations—often called the seven powers or spirits of the Holy Spirit. These powers were fully embodied in Jesus Christ and are given to believers to live godly and victorious lives. Isaiah 11:2 (KJV) " And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord. " Let’s look at each power in detail: 1. The Spirit of the Lord This is the foundational presence of the Holy Spirit—the sovereign power of God that rests upon a person for divine assignment. It represents God’s anointing, approval, and presence. ...
Asking what the devil can do, is like asking what an anaconda can do when it sees its prey. The devil takes no chances in doing what he knows how to do and because of what he is doing, many souls are perishing, stealing, killing, and destroying souls (John 10:10a) and become famous because that is the only thing he knows how to do.
In this teaching, we will get to the best he operates by doing things, and also about someone who outsmarted him by proving his doings are no match to this divine person.
The devil operates in various ways, this means you cannot say he operates in this way or that, he walks about all around the world(Job 2:2) looking for an opportunity to cause chaos or catastrophe in a person's life. And since he is a spirit being, he needs a physical body to carry out his operation in a physical world, and in Genesis 3:1a the serpent became his physical abode. According to the King James Bible, the serpent was more subtle and another Bible translation says more clever, so the reason why the serpent became more clever to the extent of going against God's ordinance in Eden is because the devil was dwelling and using the serpent.
When he made Adam and Eve disobey God, he got them defiled for God to vacate from dwelling in them, and he(the devil) packed in and became the new landlord. That is from a landlord in the body of a serpent to a landlord in the body of the first man and woman created by God and ever since then, human beings became his dwelling place to plot and execute evil for the world to see what he can do.
Thus, mankind today is so available for the devil’s use that he does not need to use the form of the serpent again to do whatsoever he desires. Look around you, the devil's doing is no longer hidden because he is not using the serpent at this time but human beings. That is why most people are the devil’s incarnate because the life they live they dedicated to serving the devil.
What else can the devil do that he has not done? People, kingdoms, and Nations are suffering because of him. But there is someone who can do more mighty things than the devil because even the devil knows that he is no match for this person. Someone who remains powerful, undefeated, and even the head of all doings is confirmed in Colossians 2:10. The devil fought to kill this person immediately after its birth was announced, but God still proved HE is smarter than him in Matthew 2, and that person is no other than JESUS Christ of Nazareth who came into this world to undo all that the devil has done. 1 John 3:8; Acts 10:38; Matthew 1:21
In case you do not know, the name of Jesus Christ fears that a believer who has a revelation of that name fears the devil, and the reason why the devil is still actively using people to do evil to this day is that mankind neglected Christ's gift of salvation. Hebrews 2:3
"Your life is in danger and at the mercy of the devil's doings if you are not saved by Christ"
JESUS IS LORD
