Bible Reading: Rev 12: 7 - 12
Topic: Our Weapon
Michael, the name of the
Archangel in today's passage means "Who is like God" (Jude v. 9; Dan.
10: 13, 21; Dan 12: 1)
He is both an Archangel
and a warrior (1 Thess. 4: 16)
Before Jesus came into the
world, satan controlled the world by the power of his deception.
However beginning with the
Ministry of Jesus, His Word and Works have cast satan and his forces down from
their control over all humanity
Those who hear and believe
the Gospel are not under the deceptive control of satan anymore. The eternal
plan of redemption was accomplished on the Cross and perfected in the
resurrection of Jesus from the dead.
The result of God's
salvation is glorious: satan is banned from Heaven - will no longer accuse
believers before God nor have power over them.
Today, we have the weapons
we can use to gain victory over satan - the Blood of the Lamb and the words of
our testimony and loyalty to Christ even unto death.
Only believe and you will
be saved
Prayer
Grant O Lord that we may
fully appropriate this salvation that came by Jesus Christ, Amen.
Memory Verse Rev. 12: 11
"And they overcame
him (the great dragon) by the Blood of the Lamb and by the word of their
testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death."
