When satan asks for you

(1) Then he showed me Joshua the high priest standing before the angel of the LORD, and Satan standing at his right hand to accuse him.
(2) And the LORD said to Satan, "The LORD rebuke you, O Satan! The LORD who has chosen Jerusalem rebuke you! Is not this a brand plucked from the fire?"
(3) Now Joshua was standing before the angel, clothed with filthy garments.
(4) And the angel said to those who were standing before him, "Remove the filthy garments from him." And to him he said, "Behold, I have taken your iniquity away from you, and I will clothe you with pure vestments."
(5) And I said, "Let them put a clean turban on his head." So they put a clean turban on his head and clothed him with garments. And the angel of the LORD was standing by.
(6) And the angel of the LORD solemnly assured Joshua,
(7) "Thus says the LORD of hosts: If you will walk in my ways and keep my charge, then you shall rule my house and have charge of my courts, and I will give you the right of access among those who are standing here.

Zechariah 3:1-7

This is an amazing scripture that gives a wonderful picture of what happens when Jesus imputes (attributes, assigns, ascribes, credits) His own righteousness to us.
The account here is fascinating and make no mistake about it, this is no figurative language. The prophet was witnessing and participating in something which was actually occurring in the spiritual realm.

Let me just point out a few things:
(1) This was Joshua, a Jewish high priest of that day needing to be cleansed
(2) Satan was standing by to accuse - and he had grounds to do it
(3) The Lord Himself sanctifies us and tells the enemy off
(4) After being cleansed by the Lord, we are charged by the Lord to diligently obey His word, with awesome benefits attached

And the Lord said, “Simon, Simon! Indeed, Satan has asked for you, that he may sift you as wheat.  But I have prayed for you, that your faith should not fail; and when you have returned to Me, strengthen your brethren.” 

Luke 22:31, 32

When satan asks for you, you have a Great High Priest, Jesus Christ the Righteous One.

Read those Scriptures again and see yourself standing in Joshua's place. This great salvation and deliverance was obtained at Christ's expense. How then will you choose to live?
