Shirley Caesar sung “Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down” in the past. But, it is a song of the past, present, and future. We need to go back to that old time religion.
Shirley Caesar is a great evangelist, storyteller, and gospel sing. She sings, “Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down. Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down. You’ve been building your kingdom all over this land. Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down.”
And Satan has been building his kingdom all over the land. He is building it with hatred, destruction, prejudice, pride, envy, and all sorts of evil. Christians are sometimes weak and tired. I think maybe the earth is tired too. Most of all, I know that God is getting tired, and Satan’s time is just about out.
Shirley sings, “The preachers are gonna preach your kingdom down. The preachers are gonna preach your kingdom down. You’ve been building your kingdom all in the house of God. Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down.”
And Satan has been building his kingdom all in the house of God. The preachers are letting in the worldly things of the world. We are living in a time when everything is getting modern. Things are changing, and people are changing and going toward what is new. We change, but God and his word never changes. What is holy should remain holy in our churches. God’s holy music is mixed up with unholy music. The singers want to please the young people, but what about pleasing God. God will take care of the young people. Jesus said, “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me…. (John 10:27).
It’s been a while since I have seen a person get up out of a wheel chair. (James 5:14-15) “Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church. And let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: v15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick , and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” The Bible tells us what we are supposed to do in our churches. We should do what it tells us because it is God’s holy word.
Shirley sings, “The mothers are gonna pray your kingdom down. The mothers are gonna pray your kingdom down. You’ve been building your kingdom all in the house of God. Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down.”
Yes, we need mothers that can pray and get a prayer through to God. Not only mothers but fathers and children too. If everybody will come together in Christ, Satan can do nothing but flee.
Shirley Caesar sung “Satan, we’re gonna tear your kingdom down” in the past. But, it is a song of the past, present, and future. We need to go back to that old time religion. Jesus says in John 4:24, “God is a Spirit and they that worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth .” What I would like to say to Shirley Caesar is keep on singing your song for Jesus.
Note: Hear the song here.

Great article, Gail. On one of my favorite songbirds! She still sounds as great as she did in the sixties!

Hi Meri! Yes, I love her singing. She has the voice of a preacher, and she tells it like it is.

Hi Lucy! thanks for reading my article. Glad you liked Shirley Caesar. She has many other great songs.
Hi Ruby! Thanks for reading my article. There is something magic about it. It’s rebuking Satan. It’s letting him know that he’s not going to win.

For some that don’t understand our purpose
And may not understand our praise
We as the family in Jesus name
Would like to tell you the reason why we sing
Family…
Verse 1
Someone asked a question
Why do we sing
When we lift our hands to Jesus
What do we really mean
Someone may be wondering
When we sing our song
At times we may be cryin
And nothings even wrong
Chorus
I sing because I’m happy
I sing because I’m free
His eyes are the sparrow
That’s the reason why I sing
Glory Hallelujah
Your the reason why I sing
(Repeat Verse 1)
(Chorus)
Bridge
Glory Hallelujah
Your the reason why I sing
Glory Hallelujah
Your the reason why I sing
Glory Hallelujah
I give the praises to you
Glory Hallelujah
Your the reason why I sing
Verse 2
And when the song is over
We’ve all said Amen
And your heart just keep on singing
And the song will never end
And if somebody ask you
was it just a show
Lift your and a be a witness
And tell the whole world no
And when we cross that river
To study war no more
We will sing our song to Jesus
The one whom we adore
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Your the reason why I sing
Your the reason why I sing
Your the reason why I sing
Your the reason why I sing
Your the reason why I sing
Oh I love you
I love your name Jesus
Glory Hallelujah
For the rest of my life Jesus
You’ll be the reason why I sing
