It doesn't make sense at all that the Enemy is able to hamper Yahweh's plans in any way. Yahweh could just have smitten Satan on spot whenever he wished to. The conclusions are following:
a) Yahweh is not omnipotent and/or is incompetent (since Satan, an inferior being, is able to threaten his plans or even Yahweh himself),
b) He's really bored and set up this spectacle to amuse himself.

He would miss out on the beautiful genocide, if he prevented the scenario.

So if Jesus doing his bidding making him a believer is the wrong way round, the only interpretation I can see is he has to believe first and then Jesus will do his bidding. If that's not what you meant then all I can suggest is you need to work on your clarity.

No Jesus never does your bidding you do what he wants.

This might be a valid accusation if any of the evidence you present for Jesus' divinity was anywhere close to seeing him perform a miracle before our eyes. A guy actually walking on water, resurrecting the dead, and turning water to wine would be a heck of a lot more convincing than telling us that a specific book of myths and fables is really real.
"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."

Walking on water isn't that impressive, raising the dead, voodoo can pull that trick too, but turning water into wine is where we're talking. Just think of all the money you could save. Maybe he's got a beer trick up his sleeve too.

I can turn water into wine. Beer too. All I need is a homebrew kit.

Then later I can turn the wine into water.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Or the beer for that matter. Although for some reason I don't get thirsty imagining it.
