Note 3 at Lk. 10:19: Although these are examples of God's protection from harm by the physical creation (Gen. 9:2; Jud. 14:5-6; Acts 28:3-5), this scripture is speaking of mastery over the spiritual realm of the enemy (i.e. Satan). This scripture does not say that Satan cannot inflict any harm. The scriptures abound with examples and warnings of the enemy's damage on the godly and the ungodly alike (2 Cor. 2:11; 2 Tim. 2:26; 1 Pet. 5:8-9). However, he cannot harm us when we are walking in faith in Christ's redemptive work.
