When properly applied, the action of “rebuke” involves one, who is in a position of authority, severely censuring another. The Greek word for “rebuke” (epitimao) is found in 29 verses of the New Testament, and interestingly, 27 of the 29 verses are in Matthew, Mark and Luke.
The Bible tells us that Jesus “rebuked the wind” 
(Luke 8:24). Isn’t that a cool thing to think about Jesus doing? He didn’t just calm it. He rebuked it! The Bible tells us that Jesus “rebuked the fever” with which Peter’s mother-in-law was suffering (Luke 4:39). Again, what a thought! He didn’t just reduce the fever. He rebuked it! The Bible tells us that Jesus “rebuked the unclean spirit,” to show His power over the demonic world (Luke 9:42). I like how the KJV reads in Matthew 17:18–“He rebuked the devil.” Jesus has authority over the devil!
The next time the storms of life surround you, the next time the fever of anger begins to boil within you, the next time the devil seems to have hold of you, remember that Jesus has the power to rebuke all evils from your life and bring about His wonderful peace!
