Hebrews 2:14. There is a power of darkness. It is made manifest by the power of sin and death. The scriptures tell us that the devil has the power of death ( Hebrews 2:14, "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"). It is only through Jesus Christ that the devil is defeated at the cross. By Jesus Christ dying and then resurrecting forever, He defeated death. He showed us that through our faith we can also defeat death.

HEBREWS 2 BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Hebrews 2:14, "Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil;"

Luke 22:33. The power of darkness in no way compares to the power of God. The power of God is absolute and lasts forever. The Devil's power is limited and only lasts for a season or even an hour as with Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane ( Luke 22:33, "When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness").

BIBLE SCRIPTURE: Luke 22:33, "When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched forth no hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness."

Colossians 1:13. If we are without God, the power of sin and death will rule over our lives. Only Jesus can deliver us from the power of darkness that is in this world. Jesus demonstrated through His resurrection that He has absolute power over sin and death. Through our faith and relationship with Jesus Christ, we are transformed from the kingdom of darkness to the kingdom of light (Colossians 1:13, "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son").
