“Satan, the Lord rebuke you” are five powerful words
that will put the brakes on the enemy.
The Lord God spoke through the prophet Isaiah saying, “Indeed with My rebuke I dry up the sea, and I make the rivers a wilderness.” (Isa. 50:2) With a rebuke that powerful, Satan doesn’t have a chance. When young David came up against the giant Goliath he said, “Who is this uncircumcised Philistine, that he should defy the armies of the living God?” In the strength of the Lord, David killed Goliath with a sling and a stone.
If God is for us, who can be against us?
Jesus said in Luke 10:19, “Behold I give you authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” We hold the keys of the kingdom, and whatever we bind on earth is bound in heaven, and whatever we loose on earth is loosed in heaven.
We are seated together with Christ in heavenly places, far
above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is
named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. All things are
under Christ’s feet and we are seated with Him.
Now, there are times when the Lord will allow Satan to test us. Jesus was led into the wilderness by the Holy Spirit to be tempted by the devil. But in the middle of Satan’s shenanigans, Jesus rebuked him saying, “Get behind Me Satan! You are an offense to Me, for you are not mindful of the things of God, but the things of men.”
Therefore submit to God.
Resist the devil
and he will flee from you.
James 4:7 NKJV
