Power to Overcome the Evil One

SCRIPTURE
(Revelation 12:10 & 11) "And I heard a loud voice in heaven, saying, 'Now the salvation, and the power, and the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren has been thrown down, who accuses them before our God day and night. And they overcame him because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they did not love their life even to death.'"

OBSERVATION
At the end of the ages Satan and his host are cast down and conquered. John gives the key to accessing the power to overcome satan in our lives: the blood of Jesus applied to the sins of a repentent soul; and the word of our testimony. Sharing with others what God has done and is doing for you will destroy the power and the hold that satan has upon you in any way.

APPLICATION
What is the source of hesitation we all feel when asked to share our testimony in a public place? Satan will speak fear and doubt into your ear to make you stop sharing with others. He is defeated if you share your faith, even though he wants to kill you, steal from you and destroy you if you do tell others about Christ. Defeat the devil in your life by making Jesus Lord of your life and telling others about it.

PRAYER
Lord, I surrender my fears to You and ask for Your empowering boldness to tell others about Jesus. At the end of the ages I want to be counted as one who overcame the enemy by the blood of the Lamb and the word of my testimony.
