Recently Mary (my beautiful and loves-me-better-than-I-deserve-wife) and I were talking about rap music. As you can imagine, that is not a regular topic around our home, but (to the torment of our children) we were walking down memories lane listening to some old tunes.

That is when Mary said that she missed the aggressive nature that Christian rap used to have. She reminded me that ten or fifteen years ago, Christian musicians used to highlight how strong God was and how defeated the devil was. They used to taunt the enemy in their lyrics because they knew that the God who dwells inside of believers is stronger than anything that exists in the devil’s arsenal.

I miss that. Instead of hearing Christians take authority over the enemy and put him in his place, I think we to often accept his lies as truth and embrace the misery that he throws our way.

Well, today, I am reminding myself that the demons in hell tremble at the name of Jesus. And because He lives in me, satan has abesolutely no authority over me and no right to mess with me. Jesus Christ is the victor. He is dominant….not just on the cross. Not just in eternity, but right here, right now. In my life and in yours. He is greater than anything i face and stronger than any enemy that comes my way.

It’s time we remember that our God is Great and that our enemy is a poser.

God is great and greatly to be praised.

Think about it.
