Go to Hell!

The other day I went to see a wise friend of mine. To be perfectly vulnerable, I was talking with this man about my on and off again battles with the frustratingly and subtly seducing temptations of pornography. It was during this transparent talk that my heart burst alive with a new revelation:

Because of Jesus, we have the authority to tell Satan to go to hell. Literally… its where he belongs.

I’m not trying to be cute, nor am I trying to be smug. I do admit though that every time the words “Satan, go to Hell!” now escape my lips I can’t help but smile. Why? Because I’m restoring the Kingdom of God and I’m putting him back into his rightful place… the deepest pit of Hell.

I’m sick and tired of the Enemy being something we tip toe around. We have been given all authority under the Son; he should be the one tip toeing around us. I’m sick and tired of him getting his way (look at the 6 o’ clock news and understand what I’m talking about). Most of all, I’m sick and tired of him thinking that he can claim some sort of victory over me or this world. Satan, the Prince of Lies, can speak nothing but lies (it’s his native language). It is so easy for us to fall into his webs of deceit and quickly become entangled in sin and shame. It’s so easy to lose hope. It’s so easy to be overwhelmed. No more.

NO MORE!

IT ENDS HERE, IT ENDS NOW.

I am free

You are free

“It is for freedom that Christ has set us free” -Galatians 5:1

We are not bound by his lies. We are not bound by him. Wake up and realize the truth. Through Jesus he is bound by our truth and he cannot be victorious because Jesus has already won.  He is bounded at the foot of the cross by us. We no longer have to listen to him; he has to listen to us.

Satan has lost. He can try all he wants to take others down with him, but nevertheless he is going down. All the lies, temptations, and deceptions of the Devil cannot overcome the truth of who we are: dead men and women raised and liberated by the blood stained hands of Jesus.

Live in the freedom that you were given.

Don’t give the Enemy any more power than what he already believes he has.

Put him in his place.

Tell him where he can go. Tell him to go to Hell!

Merely,

Chris Gerac
