How do we know Satan has power over sinners?

Answered in 1 source

The Bible reveals that Satan influences and rules over the children of disobedience, as stated in Ephesians 2:2 and Ephesians 6:12.

The Scriptural evidence of Satan's power over sinners is found primarily in Ephesians 2:2, where he is called the 'prince of the power of the air'—indicating his rulership over unregenerate individuals. Paul emphasizes that this power operates in the 'children of disobedience,' suggesting an active manipulation and entrenchment of these individuals in sin. Furthermore, Ephesians 6:12 clarifies the spiritual warfare against 'principalities and powers,' showcasing the theological understanding that Satan and his forces exert substantial influence over the moral and spiritual realm of unregenerate men, leading them away from the truth of God. This demonstrates that not only does Satan possess the ability to deceive, but he also has superior authority over those who have not been regenerated by God's Spirit.
