How to whup the devil

Not much is written on the subject of the devil and how to deal with him. A few Christian authors may tackle the topic from a historical point of view, explaining where he came from, how he was lifted up in pride and was kicked from heaven; and some reference the fact that he was once an angel who was in charge of the music or worship in heaven; but few talk about how he and his wicked spirits work in the earth to attack man. As a matter of fact, it appears that far too many preachers are afraid to tackle the subject at all.

Newly published author, Dorothy Bracy Alston has released a new book in order to awaken the world to the notion that the Devil is alive and well. CISBA Communication Services announces the release of minister Alston’s new book: How to Whup the Devil: A Spiritual Weapons Guide.

Many years ago, comedian Flip Wilson popularized the saying; “the devil made me do it.” That saying caught on like wildfire and people began to talk about the devil, even if it was only offhandedly. When you start talking about the devil; that means you’ve got to discuss demons and evil spirits and the supernatural; and that’s downright scary for some Christians…but not so with the secular world. Today you can turn the TV on to any major television network and you will see stories about the supernatural, ghosts and psychics: Bones; Ghost Whisperers; Supernatural; Wizards of Waverly Place, and so on. So, I figured if the world is not afraid to tackle supernatural subject matter, then why can’t Christians tackle it.

The bible says of Satan, Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it (John 8:44). The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly (John 10:10). We all need to grease down and whup the devil like he stole your last dollar—and more than likely it was him.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that entereth not by the door into the sheepfold, but climbeth up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. (John 10:1). Whoso robbeth his father or his mother, and saith, It is no transgression; the same is the companion of a destroyer (Proverbs 28:24). That's exactly who we need to "whup." His name is Satan, Lucifer, that old serpent, the devil. Let's give him two black eyes when we smack him upside the head with the Word of God.

CISBA believes Ms. Alston is on the cutting edge of an award winning best seller. Why, because who wouldn’t want to know how to "whup" the devil.

In Dorothy’s humorous approach to this topic, she says, “Whup him like he stole something;” that’s what my momma would have done to me had I brought something home that didn’t belong to me. And really he did steal something, because the bible describes the devil as one who comes to steal, kill and destroy.

If you’re looking for a how to guide on how to “whup” the devil, How to Whup the Devil: A Spiritual Weapons Guide is the book for you. It’s biblically sound with scripture references from the King James Version of the Bible, and it guides you on how to wage war with our chief enemy, Satan and win. We all need to get mad at the devil and whup the devil like he stole your last dollar—and more than likely it was him.
