Several years ago, actually about 3 decades back, my wife and I were at a concert and a song was sang by the group that stuck in my mind. I was able to find the song online, let me share the words with you;
You’re about to hear a truth that will loose you from the noose
The devil’s been using to defeat you
To you it may be shockin’, to him you will be lockin’
The power you thought he had over you
I learned that God put all things under Jesus’ feet
And since we are His body, I’m sure we are His feet
I think you’ve got the picture and now know what to do
Write a message to the devil (devil) on the bottom of your shoe (shoe, shoe, shoe)
Chorus:
Write a message to the devil on the bottom of your shoe
Tell him you rebuke him and he’s a liar too
You’ve finished list’nin’ to him, God’s word you will do
And be sure to write this message on the bottom of your shoe (shoe, shoe, shoe)
When Satan tries to blind you by depression or confusion
He’s trying hard to defeat you
To you he is lyin’, tell him you’re denyin’
The power you let him have over you
Remember God put all things under Jesus’ feet
And since we are His body I’m sure we are His feet
Now that you’ve got the picture, remember what to do
Write a message to the devil (devil) on the bottom of your shoe

Too often we listen to our enemy rather than the voice of our Savior! Let me share a couple of passages with you, I think the song says everything else that needs to be said:
“And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.” Ephesians 1:22-23
“And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen.” Rom 16:20
“And do not give the devil a foothold.” Ephesians 4:27
“Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” James 4:7
It’s just a thought!
God Bless…
