THE SPIRIT OF ACCUSATION (Part 1)
Revelation 12:9-11 (10) – And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night. (KJV)
Read: John 10:10
The spirit of accusation is one of the dominant forces in Satan’s manifestations. Revelation 12:9 gives an in-depth understanding of this anti-Christ spirit. It reveals the nature of the devil as a dragon and an old serpent. Note that a dragon spits fire to destroy and is also a serpentine creature with great intelligence. These attributes are confirmed in John 10:10a: “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” While the dimension of the dragon is to consume (kill), the serpentine characteristic is to deceive and steal your divine identity, both leading to destruction.
Since the primary intention of the serpent is known, the next step is to understand why he embarked on the assignment. Our Bible reading gives clarity on this. It says, “Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser…” In other words, the reason for Satan’s ministry of accusation is to mislead and condemn people, all to work against Christ’s mission found in John 10:10b: to give abundant life through salvation, strength, and power to proclaim God’s kingdom.
“The devil’s mission of accusations is mainly to counter Christ’s aim of salvation, strength, power, and the kingdom of God.”
The final aim of today’s devotional is to discern the operations of this spirit of accusation. Revelation 12:10b says, “For the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night.” Also, Verse 9c reads, “And his angels were cast out with him”. It takes only a spirit to be relentless in accusing people day and night. Therefore, these outcast angels are the demonic spirits deployed to carry out the mission of accusation (the Spirit of Accusation).
Beloved, it is important to be consciously sensitive and prayerful to prevail over this deadly spirit. As we proceed in this series, the Holy Spirit will open our eyes to the deeper depth of the mysteries of this satanic spirit, including how to walk in victory.
