can you speak directly to Satan?

[~Shalhevet~]

I am wondering this because I had some issues with my anxiety on Monday and I said some words to Satan, basically telling him to get out of my life and I am no longer his, that I belong to God now. Is this wrong of me to do?

IMO, if you're rebuking satan in the name of Jesus....you're doing the right thing. But never enter into a conversation with him without donning the full armor!

I suppose it's possible. I don't see why it wouldn't be. I'm quite aware that he can come to us, but for us to communicate with him as we do with Jehovah is up for debate, I suppose. Nevertheless, speaking the name of the Messiah to ward off his advances is certainly orthodox.

Well done.

Hi ASC although i just now finished sending you a PM unknowingly addressing this question somewhat, i will repeat it here for others.

Michael the Arch Angel dared not rebuke Satan, but only replied "the LORD rebuke you".

While we are not to be scared of Satan or men, we are foolish if we think he is impotent. He is an ancient being with much knowledge and malice.

Why did Paul warn of some "making shipwreck of their faith" if Satan were not a menace.

A friend of mine who has stood in victory and joy among very severe trials, once said to me that many Christians rebuke Satan and claim this or that, but that Satan says "thats alright i meet you further down the road".

"Greater is He that is in me than he (Satan?) that is in the world." Just do not act in pride.

Involve the Holy Spirit in the conversation, i.e "Holy Spirit, Satan is accusing/attacking me, what do you say or what should i say to him?"

Grace to you,

Martin Luther used to flatulate when he felt satans presence in the room

Rebuking a foul dead evil spirit in Jesus Christ's name is not beyond scriptural mandate.

Just remember;

Jude

[~Shalhevet~]

I was speaking on the side of Jesus Christ and I said "Satan, be gone. I belong to the Lord now. I do not want you in my life and you cannot have me anymore. Jesus has rescued me. The Lord is more powerful than you." Then I prayed for God to banish satan from my life.

Grace to you,

In other words, Jude is saying not to mince words with a wordsmith, you have a mere brutes understanding of the spiritual. Therefore be wise like Michael who understands these things and use the only rebuke necessary, "The Lord Jesus Christ rebuke you."

Peace,

I see what you are saying. Thanks.

Do you think it's better to pray to the Lord than confront satan in such a manner as I did? It was a very emotional moment for me and something in me (perhaps the Holy Spirit?) wanted to speak directly to satan (though Jesus Christ). I just wanted to make sure what I did was okay. I wish I could completely banish him from my life completely, but I know he is always going to be there to tempt and torture me.

When we belong to Jesus, we have power over satan. I believe in rebuking satan in the name of Jesus. I mean some crazy folks may have talked to him in just a regulation conversation, but no doubt they were satanists????? I have seen many demon possessed people delivered in church services and it was not by some namby pampy supplication either. The early apostles cast out demons in Jesus name. But first a person must be a christian that the devil fears or he can turn on you.

I have been prayed for many many times when an oppressing spirit tried to take hold of me, but after prayer by a person annointed of God, I would feel a release. Satan has to obey the name of Jesus. I'm sure some may read this and disagree, but if you do, then you disagree with the miracles of God. God gave US power over the forces of the enemy because we are filled with the spirit of God and it is in Jesus name. Of course if you do not have on the whole armour of God, and are not qualified spiritually, than the spirits of satan will not listen to you when you try to cast them out.

Do some churches still perform exorcisms? Do you think maybe that is what needs to be done in order to rid the anxiety?
