How to Give Satan a Bruising

Obedience to God will Give Satan a Bruising under your feet. 

Romans 16:19-20 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.

I remember singing Satan is under my Feet in Church. 

Enemy's Camp 

Well, I went to the enemy's camp and

I took back what he stole from me (x3)

I went to the enemy's camp and

I took back what he stole from me

You know

He's under my feet (x6)

Satan is under my feet

I went to the enemy's camp and

I took back what he stole from me (x3)

I went to the enemy's camp and

I took back what he stole from me

He's under my feet (x6)

Satan is under my feet

I went to the enemy's camp and

I took back what he stole from me

You know

He's under my feet (x6)

Satan is under my feet

It appears that Satan is subdued beneath my feet only when I walk in obedience to God. Here are some scriptures to support you in your journey of obedience and spiritual warfare.

The Armor of God
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. 11Put on the full armor of God, so that you can make your stand against the devil’s schemes. 12For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this world’s darkness, and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.…

Cross References

2 Corinthians 10:3-5
For though we live in the flesh, we do not wage war according to the flesh. The weapons of our warfare are not the weapons of the flesh. Instead, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every presumption set up against the knowledge of God; and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Romans 13:12
The night is nearly over; the day has drawn near. So let us lay aside the deeds of darkness and put on the armor of light.

1 Thessalonians 5:8
But since we belong to the day, let us be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love, and the helmet of our hope of salvation.

1 Peter 5:8-9
Be sober-minded and alert. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in your faith and in the knowledge that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kinds of suffering.

James 4:7
Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.

Walking faithfully with God leaves the devil no choice but to flee. If he does not, God will battle on your behalf, and the devil will ultimately suffer defeat. Therefore, let us commit to walking obediently with God.

Prayer Requests of Children

As a child, I recall the preacher inviting prayer requests at the start of each service. At the tender age of seven, I had a significant request: I wanted prayers for my father's salvation. The laughter that ensued after I voiced my request still lingers in my memory. The congregation deemed it an impossible plea, for my father was a long-haul truck driver, a profession they considered beyond redemption at that time and place.

Prayer requests made by children should be taken seriously as they are expressions of their growing faith. They learn to trust by bringing their concerns to Jesus, as it is said, "Cast all your cares upon Him, for He cares for you." Every prayer is significant to God, regardless of whether it seems trivial or unattainable to us. Indeed, God specializes in the impossible. And in time, my father did come to recognize Jesus as his savior.

1 Peter 5:6-7  Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

Matthew 18:2-4  And Jesus called a little child unto him, and set him in the midst of them. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven. Whosoever therefore shall humble himself as this little child, the same is greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

You see, God Loves to hear children pray. God may not answer exactly like the child wants, but He will answer the child in due time.

Where are the Young People?

 

1. Matthew 19:14
   But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.
2. Mark 10:14
   But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.
3. Luke 18:16
   But Jesus called them unto him, and said, Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

4. Notice that Jesus was very displeased with his disciples for sending the children away. Jesus explains that Children are those who make up the kingdom of God. 

5. Now many churches don't like to deal with children. They don't understand that without children coming into the church, the church will lose out. It will lose the blessing of God. It will eventually lose members. The old people will not live forever and without the next generation the church will be forced to close its doors. 

6. Yes, children are messy, noisy, and difficult. That is one reason why God said, "Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it." (Proverbs 22:6). Children do not come into the world knowing how to behave. They have to be taught. It is not right to simple push them aside until they are old enough to be helpful. By that time, they will not be there. I have heard it said too often that it is a miracle that any mother is still a Christian. That statement unfortunately is true. As a mother of young children, I was pushed aside. I was told to come back after my children are grown so that I can be useful. When a mother is more or less told that her babies are not welcome because they are inconvenient, she loses the desire to go to church. Without a support system, it is hard to keep going.   This must stop. Churches must be welcoming in word and deed to children. This includes difficult children and special needs children. Jesus would have welcome all of the children.
