(Rev. 12:11)
You have power over the devil and over the powers of darkness. The blood of Jesus is the weapon that you use against the attacks of the enemy. It will stop him right in his tracks.
There is no reason to be intimidated by evil. As the power of God fell on the day of Pentecost, releasing the believers to boldly testify about Jesus, the Word says, “Then fear came upon every soul&” (Acts 2:43). This scripture is talking about the fear of God, or respect of what is holy.
God has given you two things in this scripture to overcome the devil:
- The blood of the Lamb.
- The word of your testimony.
Satan is the accuser of the brethren. The blood of Jesus is your guarantee of God’s mercy that gives you complete coverage on all your needs. The blood stops all accusations because it cleanses you from all sin. It is by faith that you are able to rise above any condemnation.
The word of your testimony is the confession of your faith in God’s Word. It is the Word of God spoken out loud. It is acknowledging the Word of God as the truth for your life.
Regardless of what your circumstances look like, when you continually speak the Word, you will see your situation line up to the Word. Through the blood of Christ and the word of your testimony, you are victorious in every area of your life.
