What does the power of darkness include in this teaching?
According to this teaching, the power of darkness includes the power of Satan, the principalities and powers incumbent upon the human race, and also "that little Adam" with all his power. Believers have been delivered from this darkness and translated into the kingdom of God's dear Son.
Les explains that the power of darkness is a whole ball of wax, so to speak. It includes the power of Satan and the principalities and powers that are incumbent upon the human race. But it also includes "that little Adam"—the old Adamic nature discussed a program or two earlier—and all of his power. In salvation, God has delivered believers from this past-tense power of darkness and translated them into the kingdom of His dear Son, which is in heaven. That same kingdom will one day come and be established on the earth, and believers will be there, ruling and reigning with Christ over the kingdom they now belong to by virtue of their salvation experience.
