Get Behind Me Satan‼️ - Pastor Rusty – May 29th, 2026
“But turning and seeing his disciples, he rebuked Peter and said, “Get behind me, Satan! For you are not setting your mind on the things of God, but on the things of man.” Mark 8:33
This is a confusing passage for a lot of Christians. Why was Jesus so harsh to Peter for such an understandable statement? Why was what Peter said elevated to the level of Satanic? There is so much modern Christendom does not understand or even try to understand what the Spirit considers satanic. We assume that the greatest threat to Christendom is cultic satanic activity outside the church (or inside). But we do our greatest harm to ourselves amongst ourselves in the church when we align ourselves to the most common satanic activities that we deal with on a daily basis within our own Christian community. Let me point out a few of these giving biblical basis and see if you agree. 🤔
First of all, Jesus is responding (in the verse above) to an emotional response that Peter had made concerning His pending crucifixion. Jesus’s take on it was, “You care for the things of man, not the things of God.” How many times have you been caught in that same situation, giving emotional fleshly response to a situation. We assume this is a common mistake and everybody does it. But every time you find yourself caught up in caring for the things of man more than the things of God, you are doing damage to the kingdom of God that is sometimes irreparable and permanent. Breaking relationships and fellowships because of “human” responses that are more satanic than the Coven down the street. We do more damage within with our thoughts and words than the witches with their incantations will ever do. 🤔 Break covenant with the fleshly man in this season. Quit coming into agreement with Satan with your fleshly mindsets and human responses and be renewed in the spirit of your mind. “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” Phil. 2:5. “Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what is the good, pleasing, and perfect will of God.” Rom. 12:2.
Absence of Truth
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.” John 8:44.
This is another strong statement by Jesus concerning satanic activity among the religious Jews. Again, He’s not talking to satanic cultist, but religious men buried in religious ideology. When you don’t hold truth in a high premium and are more intent on winning an argument irregardless of truth, you are coming into agreement with the “father of lies”. This is no small thing and opens doors of oppression on the participants. You may win an argument, but you will lose the war on your soul and possibly generational detriment upon your family. And most likely you will ultimately blame God for your predicament without owning your own culpability in your situation. When you deceive or practice a lie or believe a lie you are opening a door of conflict for you and your family to deal with long term. You have aligned yourself with the father lies and are creating a satanic stronghold. This happens in society as well as in the church, simply look at the hole politically people have fallen into when they no regard for truth, only a narrative, a false narrative that serves a political end. Mmmm…🤔. Religious strongholds give cover to this activity because religion doesn’t necessarily align itself with truth.🤔 But one can be set free from this by aligning oneself with the Spirt of truth. I’ve seen many taken captive in the poison of deception and end up seeking validation among fallen men and women adding to their own destruction. Lying spirits thrive under a spirit of pride but can be brought under subjection through a spirit of humility. Again, this alignment has led to some of the most destructive behavior in the body of Christ I’ve seen and It Is Satanic!
Exposure
“Have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds of darkness but rather expose them.” Eph. 5:11.
We are exposing the unfruitful works of darkness. How Satan actually works by our coming into agreement with these unfruitful works. Stop aligning yourself with Satan! Break away by aligning yourself with the Spirit of truth… In Jesus name‼️Amen❗️Pastor Rusty
