WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO REBUKE? IT MEANS TO SCOLD, REPREMAND, TO CORRECT OR JUDGE
DEPENDING ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES, REBUKE MAY BE LIGHT, GOOD FOR THE SOUL OR HEAVY,AND DANGEROUS
IN REVELATION 3:19 “THE LORD SAYS AS MANY AS I LOVED I REBUKE”
WHEN IT COMES FROM GOD A REBUKE IS A DANGEROUS THING, IT CAN THEN BECOME A CURSE
DAVID PRAYED IN PSALM 6:1 “LORD REBUKE ME NOT IN THINE ANGER, NEITHER CHASTEN ME IN THY HOT DISPLEASURE” AND ALSO IN
DAVID PRAYED LIKE THAT BECAUSE HE UNDERSTOOD THE CONSEQUENCES OF DIVINE REBUKE SO HE PRAYED AND BEGGED GOD FOR MERCY
WE TOO NEED TO UNDERSTAND IT AND FEAR GOD SO THAT WE WOULD NOT GET INTO THAT DANGER
WE ALSO NEED TO UNDERSTAND THE POWER OF DIVINE REBUKE IT SO THAT WE CAN USE IT FOR SPIRITUAL WARFARE
PSALM 76:6,“AT THY REBUKE O GOD OF JACOB, BOTH THE CHARIOT AND HORSE ARE CAST INTO A DEAD SLEEP.”
PSALM 80:15-16, “AND THE VINEYARD WHICH THY RIGHT HAND HATH PLANTED AND THE BRANCH THAT THOU MADEST STRONG FOR THYSELF.” IT IS BURNED WITH FIRE, IT IS CUT DOWN: THEY PERISH AT THE REBUKE OF THY COUNTENANCE.”
PSALM 104:6-7 “THE LORD EXECUTETH RIGHTEOUSNESS AND JUDGEMENT FOR ALL THAT ARE OPPRESSED”HE MADE KNOWN HIS WAYS UNTO MOSES, AND JUDGEMENT FOR ALL THAT ARE OPPRESSED.”
BECAUSE DAVID UNDERSTANDS THE POWER OF DIVINE REBUKE IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE ,HE OFTEN INVITES GOD TO REBUKE HIS ENEMIES
PSALM 68:30“REBUKE THE COMPANY OF SPEARMEN, THE MULTITUDE OF THE BULLS, WITH THE CALVES OF THE PEOPLE TILL EVERY ONE SUBMIT HIMSELF WITH PIECES OF SILVER: SCATTER THOU THE PEOPLE THAT DELIGHT IN WAR.”
WHEN GOD REBUKES THE ENEMY OF HIS PEOPLE HE DOES SO WITH FIRE
ISAIAH 66:15 “FOR, BEHOLD THE LORD WILL COME WITH FIRE, AND WITH HIS CHARIOTS LIKE A WHIRLWIND, TO RENDER HIS ANGER WITH FURY, AND HIS REBUKE WITH FLAMES OF FIRE.”
WHEN GOD GOES OUT TO REBUKE THE ENEMY THERE SHALL BE DESOLATION AND CERTAIN DESTRUCTION
NOW AT THIS TIME SATAN AND HIS AGENTS MUST BE REBUKED IN ALL OUR LIVES
HIS FILTHY GARMENTS OF SHAME, CONFUSION, REPROACH AND DISGRACE MUST BE REBUKED, BY THE LORD ZECHARIA 3:1-4
AND HE SHEWED ME JOSHUA THE HIGH PRIEST STANDING BEFORE THE ANGEL OF THE LORD, AND SATAN STANDING AT HIS RIGHT HAND TO RESIST HIM.2 AND THE LORD SAID UNTO SATAN, THE LORD REBUKE THEE, O SATAN; EVEN THE LORD THAT HATH CHOSEN JERUSALEM REBUKE THEE: IS NOT THIS A BRAND PLUCKED OUT OF THE FIRE? 3 NOW JOSHUA WAS CLOTHED WITH FILTHY GARMENTS, AND STOOD BEFORE THE ANGEL.
MICHEAL THE ARCH ANGEL REBUKED SATAN IN JUDE 9 “ YET MICHEAL THE ARCHANGEL, WHEN CONTENDING WITH THE DEVIL HE DISPUTED ABOUT THE BODY OF MOSES, DURST NOT BRING AGAINST HIM A RAILING ACCUSATION, BUT SAID, THE LORD REBUKE THEE.”
IN BOTH INSTANCES HERE, SATAN BECAME IMMEDIATELY POWERLESS
WE ARE ALSO AUTHORISED TO REBUKE SATAN AND WE MUST LEARN TO REBUKE SATAN IN OUR LIVES
SATAN THE LORD REBUKES THEE IS A VERY VERY POWERFUL STATEMENT THAT IS RECOGNISED
WHAT ARE WE AUTHORISED TO REBUKEWHEN WE NEED VICTORY?
1) THE HEATHEN CAN BE REBUKED
PSALM 9:5 “THOU HAST REBUKED THE HEATHEN, THOU HAST DESTROYED THE WICKED, THOU HAST PUT OUT THEIR NAME FOR EVER AND EVER.”
PSALM 149
Praise ye the LORD. Sing unto the LORD a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.
2 Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.
3 Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.
4 For the LORD taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.
5 Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.
6 ¶ Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a twoedged sword in their hand;
7 To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;
8 To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;
9 To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the LORD.
2) THE SEA CAN BE REBUKED
PSALM 106:9 “HE REBUKED THE RED SEA, AND IT WAS DRIED UP: SO HE LED THEM THROUGH THE DEPTHS, AS THROUGH THE WILDERNESS”
3)THE WINDS CAN BE REBUKED, MATHEW 8:26 “AND HE SAITH UNTO THEM, WHY ARE YE FEARFUL, O YE OF LITTLE FAITH? THEN HE ROSE AND REBUKED THE WINDS AND THE SEA; AND THERE WAS A GREAT CALM.”
4)THE PROUD CAN BE REBUKED , PSALM 119:21 “THOU HAST REBUKED THE PROUD THAT ARE CURSED, WHICH DO ERR FROM THY COMMANDMENTS”
1 TIMOTHY 5:20, 2 TIMOTHY 4:1-4, PROVERBS 27:5
5)JESUS REBUKED THE DEVIL AND A CHILD WAS DELIVERED FROM SATANIC BONDAGE
MATHEW 17:18 “AND JESUS REBUKED THE DEVIL; AND HE DEPARTED OUT OF HIM AND THE CHILD WAS CURED FROM THAT VERY HOUR.
THIS IS A VERY USEFUL TOOL IN DELIVERANCE
WE ARE AUTHORISED TO DO THE SAME IN SPIRITUAL WARFARE AND DELIVERANCE
LUKE 10:19BEHOLD, I GIVE UNTO YOU POWER TO TREAD ON SERPENTS AND SCORPIONS, AND OVER ALL THE POWER OF THE ENEMY: AND NOTHING SHALL BY ANY MEANS HURT YO
6)UNCLEAN SPIRITS WERE REBUKED BY THE LORD IN MARK 1:25 WE ARE AUTHORISED TO DO THE SAME.YOU CAN ACTUALLY REBUKE ALL THE UNCLEAN SPIRITS IN YOUR DREAM LIFE
