Overcomers In Christ | AS BOLD AS LIONS DEVOTIONAL | April 26, 2023

Then 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 brothers and sisters has been thrown down, the one 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 when faced with death. Revelation 12:10,11

The enemy of our souls knows that his time to accuse and persecute the brethren (believers) is short (Revelation 12:12). However, we often miss this when we are in the thick of things. Evil seems to abound. From the areas of politics to entertainment to business and beyond, Satan is at work. His tentacles reach far and wide. And his goal is to silence Christians because of the truth they possess. He uses methods to intimidate and threaten in order to quiet our voices.

However, with the Holy Spirit living and active, Satan’s agenda cannot be rammed through. A posture we must take each day and an attitude of heart and mind we must put on is: we are overcomers in Christ. This passage in Revelation reminds us of this truth. As we go from day-to-day battle-weary and tired, we must remember our fight is not in vain. Through Christ we are literally pushing back the darkness and one day, darkness will be forever defeated. Satan will be thrown down and conquered — praise God. As we go through uncertain days, we must remember who we are and Whose we are: we are overcomers in Christ!

Question for today: Where have I seen the enemy first-hand attacking me or those closest to me? How do I claim the blood of Jesus over those situation?

Pray: Jesus, thank You that because You overcame, I can overcome. Help that be my identity as the enemy comes against me.
