Yes ! We have Power Over Satan
Im not misinterpreting Scripture.. I quoted this Scripture to let us know that the same power given to the early disciples is still made available to us today. It is true that the Scripture I quoted was referred to the 72.... But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name John 1:12
This is to let you know whoever has received Jesus as his Lord and saviour also has this right. A right to become God's son and whoever is born of God has overcome the world and even Satan.
Jesus has given us power and still gives power to all who come to him today, that is why the demons that submitted to the 72 still submit to believers of Christ today at the mention of his name.
It is the Holy Spirit that gives us the power over satan and all his cohorts. Every child of God has His spirit living in him or her and with the Holy Spirit Satan has no grounds to battle or win.
If God doesn't give the Christian power today then Peter was wrong when he said the Promise of the Holy Spirit and the gift of the Spirit is for us, to our children and those who are afar off:
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. Acts 2:38-39
Besides whatever God said to them was also said to us all.. Mark 13:37
