THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB by Donna Howard

SCRIPTURE

Revelation 12:11 And they have defeated him because of the blood of
the Lamb and because of their testimony. NLT

OBSERVATION
The enemy of our soul has been ‘taken out’ because of the completed
work of Jesus on the cross, the shedding of His blood. But revealed through the
evidence and public profession of that work in the lives of the believers.

APPLICATION
The book of Revelation has always been intimidating to me, but He is
faithful to reveal Himself in simple ways even in the midst of ‘the hard to understand’ parts of scripture. This is what I came away with.
When the blood of Jesus is applied to my life a new dimension of
God’s authority is unleashed against the enemy. A weapon for defeating the one who wants to destroy my life is formed in me the more I share who Jesus is to those around me. Satan can’t stand to hear me proclaim the name of Jesus from my lips or in the everyday
walking out of my life.

PRAYER
Jesus, I thank you for the sacrificing of Your life to bring me life. My
thanks and praise fall so pitifully short of what You deserve, but it’s
all that you ask. I desire to allow You to continue to work in me and
through me to defeat the enemy’s plan for me and for my family.
