NEWS A Song Satan Hates
Christine and I were playing "I Am Love" for some new friends of ours last weekend and we got an unexpected visit from Satan immediately following the performance. The prince of darkness got Christine's attention and communicated very clearly to her that he "hates" the song. He can't stand "I Am Love." It is rubbish to his ears.
We didn't discuss the event until our friends parted later that evening. Christine was a bit shaken up by the event, and I have to admit that I was taken aback by what had happened. I told her I wasn't at all surprised. I already knew Satan hated the song and the last thing he wanted was to hear it in the world on the radio. The world, of course, needs to hear the song. It is light in the darkness. But Satan will move all hell to prevent that from happening. Why? Because the song illuminates Christ and God's never failing love.
As I explained in a previous blog (see: "I Am Love"), the song was a gift - a tremendous blessing - from the Holy Spirit. On December 7, 2002 at 3:45 a.m., I had a revelation of Christ as love. I saw Christ as love. The song is based partly on Paul's first letter to the Corinthians. In Chapter 13, the Spirit flows greatly through Paul and illuminates the Lord's love to the church in Corinth. I believe this was a turning point in the history of the world. What the Spirit described through Paul was a love like no other in the universe. God's love, said the Spirit through Paul, never fails.
God is love (1 John 4:8), and His love never fails (1 Corinthians 13:8).
Satan wants no part of these truths. They burn his ears. They blind him. He battled love when Jesus walked the earth and lost. God's love defeated Satan. God's love is eternal. It is a flame that cannot be extinguished, try as the prince of darkness might (and boy does he ever try!).
God's love is the light that always has and always will prevail over darkness. Where there is God's love, there is always light. Satan can't handle the light. He chose a different path - a path that leads to eternal darkness. We know his fate (see The Book Revelation). It cannot be altered. Satan's future is one of eternal darkness. There is no worse fate for anyone or anything in the universe.
I have no idea what plans the Lord has for "I Am Love." It is His song. He can do with it whatever He pleases. The truth is Satan cannot destroy the song. He can hate it, he can despise it. He can tell lies about it. He can do all the pathetic things he typically does. That's his nature - to tell lies and to hate.
Jesus said the truth sets us free, and the truth is "I Am Love" was a gift from God. It is the Lord's song and the Lord will do with it as He pleases. Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords and the prince of darkness is just going to have to deal with this Divine truth from here until the day God disposes of him.
May His love reign supreme in your heart.
Agape,
Steve
