It’s simply understood that St. Michael’s power to defend us from “the wickedness and snares of the devil” derives from God.

Why are lies simply understood? What part of St Michael can't do anything for you don't you get? YOU are to resist satan - READ THE GOOD BOOK!!

It's a LIE to say that St Michael can defend you comes from God. Only satan would have you believe that.

"Submit yourselves to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you." James 4:7 You submit to GOD, not Mary.

"Put on the full armor of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes." Ephesians 6:11

Where is St. Michael mentioned there?

More importantly, .....

We have the Spirit of God living in us, a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance.

1 John 4:1-4 1 Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, for many false prophets have gone out into the world. 2 By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit that confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is from God, 3 and every spirit that does not confess Jesus is not from God. This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you heard was coming and now is in the world already. Little children, you are from God and have overcome them, for he who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.

[St_Thomas_Aquinas]

Of course the power that St. Michael has to defend us, like the power of all the angels, derives from God. This fact is so trivial and obvious that it’s simply understood. It goes without saying.

If I say, “American soldiers keep me safe,” is that evil or biblical? Do I have to always say, “but their power ultimately derives from God?”
