Overcoming the adversary

From Heaven by THE SPIRIT was spoken in the Revelation of Jesus Christ, chapter 12:

10 Then I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, “Now salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of His Christ have come, for the accuser of our brethren, who accused them before our God day and night, has been cast down.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.

Jesus went to the cross for us as a perfect sacrificial lamb and then FATHER sent The Holy Spirit to work in us.  Jesus is now at the right hand of FATHER advocating for us.  By THE SPIRIT it is written in Hebrews chapter 2:

17 Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people.

18 For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.

Jesus is now our High Priest aiding us as we are being matured.  The claims of justice had to be met once and for all and by His sacrifice the veil between man and FATHER was ripped in two thus allowing us to come boldly to the Throne of grace in time of need.  The doors to the Temple are now open.  These doors with cherubim have been separated to allow entrance because the fiery sword of the manifested Word through death has allowed access once again to the tree of Life.  Only by death to the old man were we allowed entrance.  Jesus opened the door and paved The Way to enter in.  Dying to “self” allows Agape Love to come forth and minister through us toward those who are placed in our paths.

Think not that the adversary who was instrumental in the departure from the tree of Life will remain passive and dormant toward those who approach the entrance.  We must know and retain the Word of our testimony and plead the Blood of Christ when confronted.   In Hebrews chapter 9:

11 But Christ came as High Priest of the good things to come, with the greater and more perfect tabernacle not made with hands, that is, not of this creation.

12 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.

13 For if the blood of bulls and goats and the ashes of a heifer, sprinkling the unclean, sanctifies for the purifying of the flesh,

14 how much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, cleanse your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

15 And for this reason He is the Mediator of the new covenant, by means of death, for the redemption of the transgressions under the first covenant, that those who are called may receive the promise of the eternal inheritance.

His Blood cleansed us from dead works so that we are able to serve FATHER.  The adversary would try to bring up my past and convince me I am not worthy to serve.  The past is no longer for I am a new creation in Christ and His Blood has cleansed me thus making me without spot or wrinkle.  I am acceptable to come into the Holy Place for through Christ FATHER sees me as being pure.  It is not by my own ability but by HIS Blood and I testify and confess this Truth when the adversary confronts me from any direction and/or means.  There are those led by THE SPIRIT and there are those led by the adversary.  We must Love all men knowing that their blindness causes them to go astray.  We must not allow their motives to dictate our response by lowering ourselves to conditional love.  Let us walk in Agape Love and let our light shine forth into the darkness which in turn will expose the works of the devil to those whom he uses.  Paul wrote by THE SPIRIT in Romans chapter 12:

14 Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse.

And:

17 Repay no one evil for evil. Have regard for good things in the sight of all men.

18 If it is possible, as much as depends on you, live peaceably with all men.

19 Beloved, do not avenge yourselves, but rather give place to wrath; for it is written, “Vengeance is Mine, I will repay,” says the Lord.

20 Therefore

​​​“If your enemy is hungry, feed him;

​​If he is thirsty, give him a drink;

​​For in so doing you will heap coals of fire on his head.”

​21 Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

Jesus’ Blood guaranteed our redemption thus the Law has irrevocably been satisfied.  Let no man or the adversary convince us otherwise.  His Blood is greater than any spiritual, mental, or physical opposition.  We must not dilute the revelation of HIS Blood but keep this revelation before us at all times.  There is power in HIS Blood.  Our word and our actions should be a testimony of Christ in us.
