"“I Give Unto You Power” Like the twelve apostles, the seventy disciples whom Christ sent forth later received supernatural endowments as a seal of their mission. When their work was completed, they returned with joy, saying, “Lord, even the devils are subject unto us through Thy name.” Jesus answered, “I beheld Satan as lightning fall from heaven.” Luke 10:17, 18 . MH 94"
"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
The EGW passage directly quotes Luke 10:17, 18 and references the power given to the disciples, making it an explicit allusion.
"Henceforth Christ's followers are to look upon Satan as a conquered foe. Upon the cross, Jesus was to gain the victory for them; that victory He desired them to accept as their own. “Behold,” He said, “I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” Verse 19 . MH 94.2"
"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
EGW directly quotes Luke 10:19.
"And having spoiled principalities and powers, he made a shew of them openly, triumphing over them in it."
Both passages discuss Christ's victory over Satan and evil powers. Colossians 2:15 speaks of triumphing over principalities and powers, while EGW speaks of Christ's followers seeing Satan as a conquered foe due to Christ's victory on the cross.
"The omnipotent power of the Holy Spirit is the defense of every contrite soul. No one who in penitence and faith has claimed His protection will Christ permit to pass under the enemy's power. It is true that Satan is a powerful being; but, thank God, we have a mighty Saviour, who cast out the evil one from heaven. Satan is pleased when we magnify his power. Why not talk of Jesus? Why not magnify His power and His love? MH 94.3 The rainbow of promise encircling the throne on high is an everlasting testimony that “God so loved the world, that He gave His only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 . It testifies to the universe that God will never forsake His children in the struggle with evil. It is an assurance to us of strength and protection as long as the throne itself shall endure. MH 94.4"
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
Ellen White directly references John 3:16 in this passage.
"And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand."
Both passages speak of God's protection and the assurance of eternal life through faith in Jesus. John 10:28 guarantees that believers will never perish, while EGW emphasizes that God will never forsake His children in the struggle with evil.
"Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world."
Both passages highlight the power of God within believers to overcome evil. 1 John 4:4 states that 'greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world,' while EGW emphasizes the omnipotent power of the Holy Spirit as a defense against the enemy.
