THE SPIRIT OF ACCUSATION (Part 3)
Revelation 12:11 – And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. (KJV)
Read: Jeremiah 15:16
Satan’s second mission of accusation is to wreck the strength of a believer. The strength here signifies faith. Ephesians 2:8 says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith.” It is through faith that every child of God activates the finished work of Jesus at the Cross. This presents the ticket to consciously living in God’s reality through His Word, as Romans 10:17 reveals that “faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”
Since faith is an emblem of salvation and the strength of believers that is kindled through the hearing of God’s Word, the devil will attempt to tarnish your strength (faith) by speaking accusations and deception into your ears. In Genesis 3:1-6, the accuser manipulated the Lord’s instructions to Adam and Eve until they forfeited the source of supernatural organic strength that comes from simple obedience. Note the accuser’s words, “‘Did God really say?’ and ‘God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.’”
Beloved, this is what continues to happen in present times. The accusing spirit twists the Word to make you doubt your faith and causes you to go against divine principles that give life to the body, soul, and spirit. However, the good news is that the strength of your faith and the Word can be reignited. Today’s Bible reading shows that you can overcome the accuser with the word of your testimony. This is your revelation and deep conviction in God’s Word. Be intentional in studying the scriptures, listen to the Holy Spirit for the truth, and pray earnestly. By doing so, the accuser cannot have a foothold in your life to manipulate your strength (faith).
PRAYER
Hymn: Trust and Obey – John H. Sammis (1887)
1. Father, grant me the grace to live by Your Word and strengthen my faith.
(MIDNIGHT PRAYER)
1. Father, open my eyes to a deeper revelation of You.
2. Father, arise for me lest Your name be mocked in my life.
3. Lord Jesus, silence every aggression of the wicked against me, my family, and the Church.
YOU NEED THE WORD TO PREVAIL IN THE WORLD.
