Triumphing Over
2 Kings 25; 2 Chronicles 36; Jeremiah 40-41; Revelations 12
“The great dragon was hurled down - that ancient serpent called the devil, or Satan, who leads the whole world astray. He was hurled to the earth, and his angels with him…They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony; they did not love their lives so much as to shrink from death.”
Revelation 12:9, 11
The spiritual warfare faced by every disciple of Jesus, both new and mature followers, is something for which we must prepare. Satan is in rebellion against God and he uses deception, accusation, and violence to try and intimidate Christ’s followers. We have been given all we need in Christ to overcome Satan, to conquer him, and to triumph over him. The blood of the Lamb cleanses us from all sin, freeing us from all the claims of the enemy over our lives. The word of our testimony and the power of the Gospel to transform lives make the story we live in and share. We are so committed to testify to the saving power of Jesus that we will not stop, even if it costs us our lives.
Are we triumphing over the enemy by the way we live?
“Thank you for making me more than a conqueror, for your glory.”
