Equipped to Overcome

2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 36; Jeremiah 40-41; Revelations 12 

“…’Now have come the salvation and the power and the Kingdom of our God, and the authority of his Christ. For the accuser of our brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down. They overcame him…’”

Revelation 12:10, 11

In Christ, we have received all we need to overcome the schemes of the accuser. Many stop their growth in Christ at salvation, but we have also received the power of the Holy Spirit so that we can join Christ’s kingdom mission and live with the authority Christ won for us. Our foe is filled with fury, but we are called to overcome him. Just as Satan lost his place in heaven, he will lose his place (places) on earth. We are cooperating with Christ to see his kingdom work will be done on earth as it is in heaven. We are not hiding, but joining Christ’s mission advance as he builds his Church. The gates of hell will not prevail against it. Jesus has overcome and so shall we as we remain in Christ, in faith, following and obeying him.

“Thank you, Lord Jesus, for your salvation, power, kingdom mission, and authority which you share with me as I walk with you, for your glory.”
