Revelation 12:11 (NKJV) And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb.
Who is this “him” that they overcame? The enemy of our soul, the devil.
The devil roams the earth, seeking whom he can devour (1 Peter 5:8). Because he came to steal, to kill and to destroy (John 10:10). There is no good in him. He is darkness.
So how do we overcome our most deadly adversary? By the blood of The Lamb and by the word of our testimony!
It’s critical for us to understand that we cannot defeat the devil by natural means. No amount of intellectualism or worldly knowledge can defeat him. But we do have the weapon(s) that we need to overcome him once and for all.
It’s the blood of Jesus. By shedding His blood and giving His life on the cross, Jesus defeated death, hell and the grave once and for all.
And the word of our testimony… what does that mean? It means that we need to be speaking words of life and hope, not death and despair. Our words need to reflect the hope that we have in Jesus. As we speak words of life, we literally drive the enemy back from our presence.
Jesus taught that He came so that we could have life and have it more abundantly. He is and has supplied us with all that we need to have victory in our lives.
We don’t have to live life as a defeated warrior. Let Jesus teach you how to have victory in your life today.
