IMO the only ideal condition is heaven
In Acts there was great revival and satan still managed to deceive Ananias and Sapphira

Okay, ideal conditions in this life then. He has authority to try to do something in this world but that is no more authority than you have over me if you are nearby. It basically means he exists here at all.

I'm not a Johnson fan. He is too rooted in Latter Rain.
Much of the younger generation has to have sound bites because they are too busy for much else.

Under ideal conditions he can try to do something but if he cannot succeed then it's questionable if he can be said to have "authority" in relation to his perpetual failures. Authority normally implies an actual ability to make something substantial happen.
If you tell me "please join me in this sinful activity" and I simply ignore you then your authority over me should probably be said to be non-existent.

Paul doesn't call satan the 'god of this world' for no reason. Paul understood clearly satanic authority which he battled against to bring the gospel to the gentiles
We have authority over satan from Jesus but that doesn't mean satan has no authority

He has authority over those who do not believe, obviously. And he can buffet us through those. But what authority does he have over us at the most basic level ? Let's say you have all faith in all of God's promises, what authority does he have then ? Be specific.
