"And they have overcome (conquered) him by means of the blood of the Lamb and by the utterance of their testimony, for they did not love and cling to life even when faced with death (holding their lives cheap till they had to die for their witnessing.)
Revelation 12:11 Amplified Bible
Who are they? Us, you and I and our brothers and sisters in Christ. Who have we overcome? The accuser from Revelation 12:10, who keeps bringing before our God, charges day and night.
How have we overcome him? By the blood of Jesus being shed on the cross and the utterance of our testimony, that Jesus Christ is Lord, and He said in John 19:30, 'It is finished'. And He bowed His head and gave up His spirit.
Wait a minute, what did Jesus say? He said, 'It is finished'. His sacrifice of obedience had done it. Done what? Overcome and conquered all that the devil can throw at us.
Wear God's Armour from Ephesians 6:10-18 :
The Belt of Truth
The Breastplate of Integrity
The Gospel of Peace on your feet
The Shield of Faith
The Helmet of Salvation
The Sword of the Spirit (the Word of God)
and declare that you are covered in the Blood of the Lamb and, the word of your testimony is that Jesus Christ is Lord and He has said, 'It is finished'. Revelation 12:11 & John 19:30
God can give us no more than that. The rest is up to us to use what we have been given. Surely we are an impenetrable force, for the Glory of God, King of Kings, Lord of Lords.
(In Matthew 16:19, Jesus said 'I will give you the keys of Heaven.' Is this one of those keys, or is there something else for me to study?
