Spoiler alert.
I’ve always been a play by the rules kinda girl! I don’t generally break the rules, but since it’s only a people rule, I had to do it! I read the back of the book-first!
I’m being silly. But seriously, I found a victory strategy in the last book of the Bible that I just have to share. It’s found in John’s Revelation of Jesus Christ that was given to him on the Isle of Patmos.
I found a Victory Strategy
Revelation 12:11
They have conquered him
by the blood of the Lamb
and by the word of their testimony.
And they did not love their lives
so as to shy away from death.
Here’s a quick snapshot of committed believers that were distinguish by the description “they did not love their lives so as to shy away from death…. Wow! they loved God more than their lives… their reputations… their possessions.
A loud voice announced that they conquered the devil by the blood of the Lamb AND…I can’t pass the reality of these words without pausing…the reality of His Love…the reality that Jesus gave His life for you and me….
He gave His very life blood to give you…
Redemption
1 Peter 1:18, 19 BSB For you know that it was not with perishable things such as silver or gold that you were redeemed from the empty way of life you inherited from your forefathers, 19but with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or spot.
Remember the victory strategy includes the word of our testimony.
Word is also translated utterance, message, statement, speech; there is no doubt it means spoken word here. The word used here for testimony is a legal term.
And our testimony is that we have been redeemed from the curse of the law! Galatians 3:13
Galatians 3:14 He redeemed us in order that the blessing promised to Abraham would come to the Gentiles in Christ Jesus, so that by faith we might receive the promise of the Spirit.
Be cleansed from all sin
1 John 1:7 BSB But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin.
And our testimony is Lord I choose to walk in the light of your Word! I thank you that the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin. All sin…ALL SIN! Thank you, Father! I cannot cleanse myself. Yet, the blood of Jesus cleanses us from all sin!!
Confidence
Hebrews 10:19 BSB Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, 20by the new and living way opened for us through the curtain of His body,
And our testimony is we praise you that because of the blood of Jesus we can come boldly (KJV) into the Most Holy Place…into your Presence.
His Presence! His Presence is so wonderful. We don’t come into His Presence fearful. We come into His Presence where we are welcomed and cherished and wanted.
Please, please realize.
There may be places that you are not welcomed, but His Presence is not one of those places!!! He made you to have fellowship with Him. He made you because He wanted you to be in His family!
Hebrews 3:1 King James Bible Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus;
The word translated profession here is also translated confession. It simply means to agree with what God says. Dear friend, if we set our heart to believe what we see, nothing is going to change in our life. But if we set our hearts and eyes on the Word of God we can have what the Word promises. That’s why we need to discover what Jesus purchased for us.
If He is the High Priest of our profession, we need to be saying what God says! If you say nothing, then don’t be surprised if you are not receiving what God has for you!
It’s important for us to realize that what God showed John in Revelation 12:11 is a 2 fold strategy for sold out believers that want to defeat the enemy! The blood of Jesus is powerful. Jesus made it possible for us to win over sin and defeat the enemy, but we must understand we access His power through faith and prayer.
