Jesus saved me by the power of the gospel, by the word of God through faith by the grace of God. Not by being murdered by wicked men and by the power of darkness. (Satan)Wrong.
First of all, the term 'Theos' is NEVER used in reference to Satan's status.
Anywhere.
Satan can aspire to be 'Theos', but he can never attain it.
The example that you provided is, once again, Pre-Cross scripture in which Satan has NOT yet been bound, and, even then, he is only referred to as 'ruler'.
Time that you stopped denying what Christ did for you upon The Cross, and then turning around and heaping undeserved praises and power upon The Devil.
Paul said in 2 Thessalonians 2, that they pleased not God in killing Jesus, if they pleased not God, then it was wrong and sinful to kill him. Jesus even said to pilate, those who handed me over to you have committed the greater sin, so it was a sin to murder Jesus. It's wrong to glorify that cross, we should glorify God and Christ by denying ourselves and baring our cross and truly follow Christ and letting the life of Christ and the love of God shine through us into this world of darkness bringing the light to others. The true cross is the cross that Jesus bore and the blood is his life, and thats the cross and blood, that we are saved through, not the natural one.
Satan murdered Jesus not God, and God strengthened him to bare it, because Jesus had to bare whatever was set before him and deny sin, and overcome Satan, including being crucified and he overcame Satan with the love of God. Bringing love in the place of evil. Bringing love and not revenge, with father forgive them for they know not what they do. Jesus came by love, mercy and forgiveness and he brought us a new and living way, and those who truly follow him live by this new way, because he is the way, the truth and the life, and his way is the only way to the father.
Satan has the power over this world of flesh and lust, he can only bruise the heal he can't go any higher than the earth, he's crawling on his belly through the dust which is the flesh and those who belong to him live by the lusts of the flesh and not by the will of God.
Satan is certainty loose, he is the adversary and the stumblingblock going against God and tempting us daily to try to make us fall. But if God is with us, he will show us Satan and show us our sins and help us to overcome through Christ.
Jesus said, have no fear for I have overcome the world, and if we have true faith, then he can help us to overcome too.
