Luk 10:18 And He said to them, I saw Satan falling out of Heaven as lightning!
Luk 10:19 Behold, I have given you the authority to tread on snakes and scorpions, and on all the power of the hostile one, and nothing shall hurt you, no, never!
Luk 10:20 But stop rejoicing in this, that the evil spirits submit to you. But rather rejoice that your names are written in Heaven.
Pride goes before destruction,and a haughty spirit before a fall.
It seems you have your spiritual entities confused, like you think there is only one kind.
Perhaps the best examples for you would be to read how those greater than you dealt with Satan. In Jude the Archangel Michael did not even rebuke Satan. And in Matt and Luke 4 Jesus when tempted answered with Scripture.
Are you two greater than Michael and Jesus that you have the power to rebuke and slander celestial beings?
I assume you are speaking of when Jesus was led in the wilderness to be tempted of the devil, this occasion is, as was everything Jesus did while he was on the earth, on our behalf, he had to be tempted and overcome the temptation, because the first Adam fell to temptation.
The archangel is not a earth being in a physical body, nor is he higher than God's children.
Authority on the earth from the beginning was man's as was the earth's, I have never agreed to the lie that man was not given the earth in the garden.
The first thing he was given was Dominion:
Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
1:28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
1:29 � And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.
1:30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
1:31 � And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.
2:1 � Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
Not only did he give Adam dominion, he also gave him the earth and all that was in it.
The second thing he gave him was seed, the law of sowing and reaping.
Mt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
This statement was made after the cross and the resurrection, Jesus as a man gained back man's authority, but the curse is still in operation on the earth, until the time orginally given to man is up, and thus satan is still the God of this world, and the authority that Jesus was given was passed on to the church.
George I didn't make the this post you did all I did was answer the question thru scripture. I do not mind saying I enjoy exposing satan though, it would be more like humility not anything close to pride, not to mention it is honoring the lord when you believe his word.
I believe it is pride at work when christians do not take their place, against satan and his cohorts, if you will study james and 1st peter in context it mentions humbling oneself that they might obey God, and deal with Satan.
Are you under authority,or do you believe that you have authority.
Mat 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
Mat 8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
Mat 8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
Mat 8:8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed.
Mat 8:9 For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
Mat 8:10 When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
35That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, �Let us go over to the other side.� 36Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, �Teacher, don�t you care if we drown?�
39He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, �Quiet! Be still!� Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40He said to his disciples, �Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?�
41They were terrified and asked each other, �Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!�

Matthew 17:18-Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy, and he was healed from that moment.
John 14:12
I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.
Are you two greater than Michael and Jesus that you have the power to rebuke and slander celestial beings ?
*** Hummmm...No one human is stronger than GOD, Jesus, Holy Spirt, Arch Angel Michael & Celestial beings oviously...but...a Born Again Christian is In~ Powered by Christ Jesus* Holy Spiirt...there for by His WORD...we " Christians " can and do...Rebuke & Cast out ALL Demons and Fallen Angels which...by the way are NOT Celestial beings...Slander isn�t part of the package deal though�
Jesus speaking ~ Matthew 12:28 ~ But if I cast out devils by the Spirit of God, then the kingdom of God is come unto you.
Jesus speaking ~ John 5:20~[ For the Father loveth the Son, and sheweth him all things that himself doeth: and he will shew him greater works than these, that ye may marvel. ]
Jesus speaking ~ John 14:11~ Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake. 12~ [ Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me,] [ the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; ] because I go unto my Father. 13~ [ And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. ]
*** We Born Again are the Most Highs sons and daughters�so by his WORD�it could be no other way�Blessings�.xo
Well George I thought you would know, if you are under authority, you have authority.
Ro 5:17 For if by one man�s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.)
2Ti 2:12 If we suffer, we shall also reign with him: if we deny him, he also will deny us:
Re 5:10 And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
Mt 10:1 And when he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of disease.
Mt 9:8 But when the multitudes saw it, they marvelled, and glorified God, which had given such power unto men.
Mr 3:15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
Why do the answers I get only prove the one answering hasn't read the post?
To repeat: Demons and Fallen Angels are not the same thing, Yes, Jesus gave us power over demons, yet not one of you has given Scripture saying we have power over fallen angels.
