Alan,
If you truly wish to understand my perspective, read the passages below. I see that God is light, that we are to walk in the light, and that it is upon the Earth as it is in Heaven. If Satan is not in Heaven, then he is not upon the Earth either. I have reflected much upon the passages below, and determined that if God is light, and I am to walk in the light, all that is not light is to be disregarded and dispensed with, whether it be external, or within me. We cannot walk in the light and stop to examine what exists in darkness at the same time. When you shine a light upon a shadow, he ceases to exist, for he only was a lack of light. To believe in lack of light is to keep it alive, and to keep darkness within us. Jesus did not achieve his greatness by thinking about sin and the devil, he did so by restoring light, and sin and the devil ceased to exist by this very act. We do not need to fight evil. If we simply embody light, the shadows will flee from our footsteps. Take out a flashlight and see how it works. : )
1Jo 1:5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.
1Jo 1:7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
Peace,
