2 In which at one time you walked [habitually]. You were following the course and fashion of this world [were under the sway of the tendency of this present age], following the prince of the power of the air. [You were obedient to and under the control of] the [demon] spirit that still constantly works in the sons of disobedience [the careless, the rebellious, and the unbelieving, who go against the purposes of God].
Here is another great verse that talks of the lie of free will. The Truth is that even if you believe that you are not under the control of Jesus, you are under the control of satan, who is under the control Jesus.
All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being. John 1:3
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. [For all things originate with Him and come from Him; all things live through Him, and all things center in and tend to consummate and to end in Him.] To Him be glory forever! Amen (so be it). Romans 11:36
For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him. Colossians 1:16
Satan rebelled against our Father, just as our Father knew that he would, but that in no way meant that satan was able to remove himself from the control of our Father. Satan is still controlled by God. To believe that he isn’t, would mean that you believe that satan is stronger than our Father. The Truth is that he isn’t and the Truth is that all things exist by our Father and through our Father, even satan, and the Truth is that all things work together for our good who are in Christ, Romans 8:28.
