Rebuking the devil is like telling it to keep its distance from doing some sort of spiritual inner or external harm. Telling demons or the devil to keep its distance away from where you are and that is of your properties that should be not touched by evil forces.
 
FORCE a REBUKE towards Forces of Evil with your connection with GOD The Almighty and do it with Righteousness.
 
God is the only answer.
 
Whatever you may be suffering: emotions, feelings, sickness, ill feelings, headaches, migraines, agony, soreness, etc.
 
“Jesus woke up, rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, 'Quiet! Be still!' The wind ceased and there was a great calm.” – Mark 4:39
 
Did Jesus rebuke the storm?
 
Matthew 8:23-27 New International Version (NIV)

But Jesus was sleeping. The disciples went and woke him, saying, “Lord, save us! We're going to drown!” He replied, “You of little faith, why are you so afraid?” Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.

What does Jesus say about rebuking?  

There are several things to consider with your question. Rather than seeing a wide divide between judging and rebuking, there is some overlap. Jesus said, “If your brother or sister sins against you, rebuke them; and if they repent, forgive them” (Luke 17:3).

Jesus Christ rebuked his disciples for their unbelief and lack of faith, particularly during a storm on the Sea of Galilee. He also rebuked the Pharisees and Sadducees for their hypocrisy and lack of genuine faith. 

Jesus admonished his disciples to, “Pay attention to yourselves! If your brother sins, rebuke him, and if he repents, forgive him” (Luke 17:3)

Examples of Jesus' rebukes:

  • To his disciples' unbelief: "O you of little faith, why are you so fearful?". 
     
  • To Peter's suggestion: "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are not thinking about the things of God, but about the things of men". 
     
  • To the Pharisees and Sadducees: "You snakes, you brood of vipers! How can you escape the condemnation of Gehenna?". 

READ THE BIBLE

In Christianity, "rebuking the devil" or "rebuking evil" generally refers to a prayer or declaration of authority in the name of Jesus Christ to assert dominance over Satan and his works. This practice is rooted in the belief that Christians are empowered by God's authority to resist evil and cast out demons.

The Bible generally encourages rebuking (or correcting) others, particularly those in sin or error, but it also cautions against doing so with anger or a spirit of judgment. Rebuking should be done with love and humility, aiming for restoration and not condemnation. The Bible doesn't explicitly prohibit all rebukes, but it does warn against certain types, such as hypocritical judgment or harsh reprimands. 
Here's a more detailed look:
  • Leviticus 19:17:
    "Do not hate your brother in your heart; you must rebuke your neighbor directly, and not incur guilt because of him." 
     
  • "Better is open rebuke than love concealed. Faithful are the wounds of a friend, but deceitful are the kisses of an enemy." 
     
  • "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work." 
     
  • 1 Timothy 5:20:
    "The sins of others should be rebuked in public, so that the rest may be afraid." 
     
  • Matthew 18:15:
    "If your brother sins, go and show him his fault just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over." 
These passages indicate that rebuking is a necessary and valuable part of Christian life, but it should be done with humility, love, and a focus on restoration, not condemnation. 
 
What is the prayer to rebuke the devil?
 
A prayer to rebuke the devil can take various forms, but generally involves declaring God's power and authority over the devil and his evil influence. It often includes a request for protection, deliverance, and the breaking of any demonic activity or curses. 
 
Here's an example of a prayer to rebuke the devil:
 
"Heavenly Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I rebuke the devil and all his evil influence in my life. I break any curses, spells, or demonic activity that may be working against me. I claim the power of the Holy Spirit to protect me and my family from all harm. I ask that you pour out your grace upon me and guide me in the path of righteousness. I pray that you will rebuke the devil and his demons and cast them out in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen,". 

How to pray against Satan?

Heavenly Father, I bow in worship and praise before You. I cover myself with the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ as my protection. I surrender myself completely and unreservedly in every area of my life to You. I take a stand against all the workings of Satan that would hinder me in my prayer life.
 
While the Bible doesn't explicitly say Christians should directly rebuke the devil, it does teach that believers should "resist the devil, and he will flee from you" [James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:9]. This resistance involves drawing closer to God, submitting to His will, and relying on His power [James 4:7, 8]. 
 
Here's a more detailed explanation: 
  • Focus on God, not the devil:
    Instead of directly rebuking Satan, the Bible encourages Christians to focus on their relationship with God and His authority [James 4:7, 8, 1 Peter 5:9].
  • Resist the devil's schemes:
    This resistance involves actively choosing to obey God's commands and living a life pleasing to Him, effectively making the devil's influence less effective [James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:9, 11].
  • Pray for God's protection:
    Asking God to protect you and your loved ones from evil is a more biblical approach than directly rebuking the devil [1 Peter 5:9, 11].
  • Draw near to God:
    When you are close to God, you are also close to His power, which is more effective than rebuking the devil [James 4:7, 8].
  • Remember the devil's future:
    The Bible teaches that Satan will eventually be judged and his power will be broken [Revelation 20:10], so focusing on the devil's current influence can be a distraction.
In essence, rebuking the devil directly is not the primary way to resist his influence. Instead, Christians should focus on building a strong relationship with God, resisting evil thoughts and actions, and relying on God's power for protection and guidance.

How to rebuke the devil prayer?

A common prayer to rebuke the devil involves calling on God's authority and the power of Jesus Christ to break the devil's influence. This might include asking for God's protection, rebuking demonic activity, and declaring the victory of Christ over evil. Some prayers also call upon the blood of Jesus or the power of the Holy Spirit for protection and deliverance.


Example Prayers:


Rebuking Satan and Evil:
"Heavenly Father, I ask You in the name of Jesus, to rebuke Satan and all evil spirits who seek to harm me and my family. I claim the victory of Jesus and declare that His blood covers us from all evil".


Breaking Curses and Spells:
"In the name of Jesus, I rebuke and break any curses, spells, or demonic activity that has been sent against me. I declare that the blood of Jesus has broken every bond and set me free".


Seeking God's Protection:
"Lord, protect me from the wiles of the devil and the snares of the wicked. I ask for Your protection, guidance, and strength to resist evil".
Calling on the Holy Spirit:

"Holy Spirit, come and fill me with Your power. Help me to stand firm against the enemy and resist temptation".

What does the Bible say about fighting against the devil?

Ephesians 6:11-16

11 Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes. 12 For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.

 

Biblical Basis and Interpretation:

    • Jude 9 emphasizes that the archangel Michael, when disputing with the devil, did not condemn him but instead appealed to the Lord to rebuke him.
      This suggests that believers should defer to God's authority and not attempt to directly condemn Satan. 
       
  • James 4:7 encourages Christians to "submit to God and resist the devil, and he will flee from you".
    This implies that resisting the devil's temptations and drawing near to God is a more effective strategy than directly rebuking him. 
     
  • Matthew 28:18 states that all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Jesus Christ.
    This means that while believers are empowered by the Holy Spirit, they should not usurp the authority of Jesus in rebuking evil. 

Diverse Perspectives:

  • Some Christians, particularly those in Charismatic or Pentecostal traditions, believe in the practice of rebuking evil or Satan in the name of Jesus.
    They may see it as a way to actively resist spiritual attacks and manifest God's power. 
     
  • Others, including some non-Charismatic Christians, may not believe in actively rebuking the devil but still recognize the importance of resisting evil and drawing near to God.
    They may focus on prayer, spiritual warfare, and trusting in God's power to protect them from evil influences.
     
  • Some Christians believe that rebuking the devil is a form of spiritual warfare, where believers engage in prayer and declaration to resist evil.
    They may see it as a way to break curses, hexes, or demonic activity, and to claim victory in the name of Jesus. 

Practical Considerations:

  • It's important to distinguish between rebuking evil spirits or forces and rebuking Satan himself.
    Some believe that individuals can rebuke evil spirits or demons when they are manifesting in their lives or the lives of others. 
     
  • The practice of rebuking evil should be rooted in Scripture and prayer, not in assumptions or personal opinions.
    It's essential to discern God's leading and not assume authority that is not explicitly given. 
     
  • Rebuking evil should be done with reverence, humility, and a reliance on God's power, rather than in a confrontational or prideful manner.
    It's important to remember that God's power is far greater than the power of Satan. 
     

    Jude 1:9 (ESV)

    9 But when the archangel Michael, contending with the devil, was disputing about the body of Moses, he did not presume to pronounce a blasphemous judgment, but said, “The Lord rebuke you.”

    Don’t take on the Devil, refer him to Jesus. Say, “Jesus rebuke you” or, since we have authority in Jesus's name, “I rebuke you in Jesus's name.” (First, do a study in what “Rebuking” means. It is too long to go into here). (Or, ask a question on rebuking here in Quora and tag me and others can chime in).

    Next, look at what James says puts the Devil to running. It's not what you might think.

    James 4:6-8 (ESV)

    6 But he gives more grace. Therefore it says, “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”

    7 Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. [Ask yourself if he is running because you are resisting or because you are submitted?]

    8 Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.

    Submit yourself.

    If you think you are going to take on Satan, that is pride. Sorry. Satan knows all about Pride.

    But if you are humble and submitted to God, then God is right there … and the enemy is going to run.

    Think about it. Selah.

    We have the choice between pride (“works without faith” are just as dead as “faith without works”) and humility (“salvation is by grace through faith”, as Paul says, not works, why? Because of pride).

    So, Salvation always has to proceed any work done in God. Make sure you are in God before resisting Satan.

    James had to have Faith before he could show it by his works. Let's not be double-minded about God's Grace.

    When someone stands before God and tells Him how wonderful they are, “But Lord, look at all the wonderful things I did in your name,” He will say, “Depart from me you workers of iniquity, I never knew you.”

    Satan is a spiritual being. Who is he going to see when he looks at you (or anyone)?

    He is roaming around seeking who he “may” devour, right?

    If someone is standing there in their own righteousness, their own works, their own “name” (to use the Bible term) he will see them, with no protection and no covering. Please understand.

    If we are humble and submitted to God and following the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, not puffed up about it (and excuse me because I’ve seen this many times before, not imagining what a “Mighty Man or Woman of God” we are, what a great “Prayer Warrior” or whatever the term of the week is, like a “Giant-Slayer”) we might see great things.

    God works, we walk (Eph 2:10).
