First Nephi 22:15

For behold, saith the prophet, the time cometh speedily that Satan shall have no more power over the hearts of the children of men; for the day soon cometh that all the proud and they who do wickedly shall be as stubble; and the day cometh that they must be burned.

Satan has power,  but unlike God who has power in himself because of his very nature,  Satan's power is external.  It comes from us.  Satan would have no power if no one paid him any heed. And in a day to come,  that will be the case.  All who choose to follow him and give him power will be removed.  Satan will have no power on this earth when those who uphold him are no longer here. God's power is infinite and eternal.  The devil's power is limited and temporary.  He struts about and glories in his little power today, but one day he will be nothing.  We do not have to let the devil have any power in our lives.
