Writing to the Church at Ephesus, the Apostle Paul lets us in on the structure of the devil and his demons. He talks about the different orders and principalities: “For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places” (Ephesians 6:12). So there are principalities, powers, and rulers of the darkness of this world.
The highest cadre of this structure, wicked spirits in heavenly places (Ephesians 6:12 AMP), set up their thrones and operate in the heavenly places from where they control large dominions, rule over nations and regions. They also control the affairs of men who yield themselves to the devil.
But as you study Ephesians 2:6, you observe that you’ve been raised together with, and made to sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus. You’re seated with Christ, far above all principality and power and every organization of the adversary. That means you’re superior to even the highest ranking demons! You occupy a place in Christ, far above Satan and anything that’s connected to him.
Satan is a defeated foe, who’s been stripped of all power, influence and dominion. So, it doesn’t matter what strategies he has deployed against you, they’ve been programmed to fail! In Christ, you defeated Satan and all his demons and overcame all the manipulative and evil structures of the world set up by him.
