Get behind me SATAN


We must not allow anything, whatsoever to get in between us and obedience to Jesus because the devil will use those the closest to us to derail and to distract us, your wife, your husband, your closest friend, your pastor, those whom you trust, good people. Satan will use them to prevent you from doing the will of God. He will use them to make you disobey God, to disobey Jesus.
We read in Matthew 16:21-23”From that time Jesus Christ began to show His disciples that He must go to Jerusalem, and suffer many things from the elders and chief priests and scribes, and be killed, and be raised up on the third day. 22And Peter took Him aside and began to rebuke Him, saying, “God forbid it, Lord! This shall never happen to You.” 23But He turned and said to Peter, “Get behind Me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to Me; for you are not setting your mind on God’s interests, but man’s.” 
His closest companion, Peter, Jesus rebukes him, He says to him:”GET BEHIND ME SATAN.” Satan was trying to use Peter to stop Jesus from doing what God the Father had sent Him to do. We often make the mistake of allowing ourselves to be derailed, taken off track by a brother, a sister, a child, a father, whomever, satan will use anybody.
Adam should have said to Eve, “GET BEHIND ME SATAN,” but he didn't, he listened to Eve and was why he died. That is a lesson to us. Do not allow anything or anybody to come between you and Jesus. It doesn't matter who it is, LISTEN to the voice of the Holy Spirit and OBEY Jesus. DO what He tells you to do and to those who try to prevent you, you say:” GET YE BEHIND ME SATAN!”
May Jesus bless you.
