Ephesians 2:2 KJV
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
The spirit that presently works in the children of disobedience (whether they are lost or whether they are professing believers who continue on with a spirit of disobedience) is marked, according to the Word of God, by two things:
The course of this world
There is a course this world is set upon. It is a course that it began at the moment Adam and Eve chose to eat the fruit God had forbidden them to have.
- It is a course of self righteousness
- It is a course of humanism and the deification of man
- It is a course that replaces God as the base line for morality, with the opinion of men
The prince of the power of the air
The irony of the whole thing is that men, by disobeying God, believe that they are
- Their own masters
- Their own gods
- They have rule over their own destinies
But nothing could be farther from the truth. Men who choose their own course always end up on the course of Satan.
