Satan, You’re Under Arrest!*

This is a citizen’s arrest

For I bear on my body the Lord’s crest

Heaven is my final destination

And a citizen I am of God’s holy nation

Devil, you are fired

You will never ever be required

For all the calamities you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I don’t want you around me, devil

’Cause you are Machiavellian and so full of evil

I am arresting you, devil

You’re so jam-packed with evil

I arrest you on reasonable suspicion

Of various counts of gross insubordination

Devil, you are fired

No more are you hired

For all the misfortunes you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I don’t like you one bit, devil

’Cause you are conniving and brimming with evil

I arrest you in the name of Jesus

God’s Son who came to save us

And deliver us from your oppression

Following Adam’s initial transgression

Devil, you are fired

You were never ever required

For all the devastation you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I don’t want you near me, devil

’Cause you are deceitful and busting with evil

To remain silent when questioned is your right

But of this important fact you must not lose sight

It would harm your defense if later you rely

On something you could have said today in reply

For the avoidance of doubt whatever you say

Will stand against you at your trial on judgment day

Devil, you are fired

 No more will you ever be hired

For all the catastrophes you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I don’t like you at all, devil

’Cause you are sly and so satiated with evil

Your failure to carry out my instructions as a child of God

Appears from others to be a familiar pattern you have trod

Your willful disobedience amounts to a declaration of war

Enough is enough, I cannot continue with you as before

Devil, you are fired

You were never ever required

For all the disasters you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I can’t stand you, devil

’Cause you are devious and overflowing with evil

I now break your yoke, destroy your burdens and bind you

In the name of the exalted Lord Jesus who was born a Jew

Who on the cross of Calvary became sin and was of evil men slain

But rose from the dead and sat at the right hand of God to reign

Devil, you are fired

No more are you hired

For all the tragedies you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I don’t like you, devil

’Cause you are a very bad devil

I scatter your assignments, your mission

I frustrate and thwart your goals, your vision

I deny you reinforcement of any provision

I bind you and refuse you any sort of permission

I forbid you my sphere of influence to permeate

I decree today, “Thou shall not within my space operate!”

Devil, you are fired

You could never ever have been hired

For all the adversities you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

I don’t want you around me anymore, devil

’Cause you are devious and so full of evil

Satan, in the name of Jesus I put an end to your repression

I declare that henceforth I am free from every demonic oppression

By the power in the name of Jesus I undo every satanic subjugation

With the authority in the Word of God I put a stop to every devilish domination

Devil, you are fired

You were not even ever hired

For all the debacles you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

In the name of Jesus I bind you, devil

You who epitomize all that is evil

From now on I say no to your suppression

From this time forth I exercise my power of expression

I destroy, demolish, and dismantle the power of concealed sin

I proclaim, profess, and confess that I am in Christ, yes “I am in”

For whom the Son makes free is liberated, triumphant, and victorious

Thank you, Jesus, for helping me in all things to become auspicious

Devil, you are fired

You could never ever have been required

For all the fiascos you inspire

I pour on you the Lord’s unquenchable fire

Now get thee behind me, devil

You scheming sneaky crafty cunning conniving embodiment of evil
