As believers in Christ, we overcome Satan because of the blood of the Lamb, for this blood is cleansing us from every sin, it overcomes the enemy, it rejects any of his accusations, and it is prevailing in every way in our Christian experience.
Lord Jesus, thank You for shedding Your blood for us on the cross. Hallelujah, Christ died for us on the cross to shed His blood and cleanse us from every sin. Amen, Lord, we apply Your blood today. Cleanse us from all our sins. We confess our sins, and we apply the blood. Praise the Lord, we overcome the enemy because of the blood of the Lamb, because of the word of our testimony, and by not loving our soul-life even unto death! Amen, Lord, we love You and we stand under Your blood today! Amen!
The Lord today is after His overcoming saints, and there is a very simple way for us to overcome – see verses 10 and 11 in Revelation 12.
Thank the Lord that, one day, the enemy will be cast down, for the accuser of our brothers will be kicked out of heaven on the earth by the man-child who is raptured to heaven.
Those who defeat the enemy and overcome him do this because of the blood of the Lamb and because of the word of their testimony, and they love not their soul-life even unto death.
Amen, we want to be such ones today. We do not stand on what we can do, on our merits, or on our perfectness; we are not perfect but rather, we are full of sins and failures, but we stand on the perfect blood of Christ.
In ourselves, we are a failure, and when we live in the flesh or according to our natural man, we cannot please God nor do we have an inclination toward God.
But when we exercise our spirit, when we come to the Lord in the light, He shines on us, He exposes our sins and shortcomings, and we simply confess them.
We confess our sins, we apply the Lord’s precious blood, and we are cleansed from our sins and washed from any unrighteousness. Praise the Lord!
When Satan comes to accuse us, we show him the blood of the Lamb, which is cleansing us. When he continues to accuse us, we preach to him, for we tell him concerning the Lord’s blood prevailing over him.
Praise the Lord, even though Satan tried to kill the Lord Jesus on the cross, Christ has prevailed over him and destroyed him through the cross! Now we stand in His victory, we are one with Him, and His precious blood cleanses us and makes us more than victorious in Him! Hallelujah
We Overcome Satan because of the Blood of the Lamb Covering us and Cleansing us from Every Sin
Revelation 12:11 tells us that the overcomers who defeat Satan overcome the enemy because of the blood of the Lamb. The very first way for us to overcome Satan is the blood of Christ, the perfect, spotless Lamb of God.
We need to know the power and effectiveness of the Lord’s blood. Satan attacks our conscience and accuses us so many times, for his full-time job is to be the accuser of the brothers; however, we have the blood of the Lamb.
When Satan attacks us, we can answer him by the blood of the Lamb (Rev. 1:5; 5:9; 7:14).
When we walk in the light, as God is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from every sin (1 John 1:7).
If we sin and the Lord shines on our sin, we can simply repent and confess our sin, and the Lord’s blood cleanses us (v. 9).
Satan may accuse us, but we can answer that the blood of Jesus Christ, God’s Son, cleanses us from every sin. When we confess our sins, God forgives and forgets.
We don’t have to confess the same sin again and again; we may still have a feeling of accusation or guilt after we confess, but that is not from the Lord but from the enemy.
If we still have a condemnation or accusation inwardly after we confess our sins, that is the enemy giving us some difficulty; we need to tell him to shut up and go away, for we are under the power of the blood of Jesus!
Any apparent condemnation that does not stop after we have confessed and applied the blood is not God’s enlightenment but Satan’s accusation. We stand against Satan.
In such cases, we even need to speak to Satan, even audibly,
Satan, stop accusing me! I will not confess this sin again – I have already confessed it! This is not God’s enlightenment but your accusation! I am not perfect, but I am under the blood of the Lamb! Amen, the blood of the Lamb is my perfection, and I overcome you because of the blood of the Lamb! Lord Jesus, I stand on Your precious, prevailing, victorious blood, and I am made perfect in You because of Your blood! Praise the Lord!
If you do this, you will feel liberated from any accusation of the enemy! We believers in Christ need to realise that we can overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb, and after we confess our sins under the Lord’s light, we are forgiven and cleansed! Praise the Lord!
We do not need to look for more sins to confess, nor do we need to find a list of bad things we have done to confess; we simply walk in the light, and as we do this, the Lord shines, exposes, and His blood cleanses and washes.
May we be those who stand on the blood of the Lamb every day. May we reject all the accusations from the enemy, both the accusations which are without cause and those which have a cause!
Some accusations from Satan have no cause, but others have a cause; as long as we have confessed, even though we did do those things, the Lord has cleansed us and we stand on His cleansing blood.
We defeat the enemy not merely outwardly, in the environment, but in the battlefield of our mind, our feelings, and our inner being, by standing on the blood of the Lamb.
We need to always apply the blood, telling the devil that although we are not perfect, we are under the perfect blood of Christ.
We may not even know what this implies, for we do not fully apprehend the preciousness, power, and effectiveness of the Lord’s blood, but we stand on the blood!
The blood of Christ is the basis of our victory and our instrument to overcome Satan!
When the Lord says that He cleanses us from every sin, that means that He is cleansing us from every sin! Satan may accuse us that we are wrong, that we have made this or that mistake, and that we have sinned, but we stand on the Lord’s precious blood!
Lord Jesus, we come to You to fellowship with You and walk in the light. We love to be with You in the light, having fellowship with the Lord and with one another. Oh Lord, we apply Your precious blood today to all the sins, trespasses, and mistakes that Your light exposes in us. We confess our sins under Your light and we apply Your precious blood. Hallelujah, we can confess our sins and apply the Lord’s blood, and God is faithful in His word and righteous in the blood of Jesus to cleanse us from every sin and wash us from any unrighteousness! Praise the Lord! We can now stand on the blood of Christ and we defeat the enemy! Yes, Satan, we overcome you because of the blood of the Lamb! We acknowledge that we are not perfect, but we stand on the Lord’s perfect blood! We believe that the blood is cleansing us from every sin! Hallelujah, when God forgives our sins, He also forgets them! Wow, Lord, our sins are forgiven and forgotten, and we are cleansed by the blood of the Lamb!
We Confess our Sins under the Lord’s Light, we Apply the Blood, and we Believe in the Power of the Blood of Christ which Overcomes the Enemy!
When we believers in Christ commit sin, we do not glorify God, for to sin is to not glorify God (Rom. 3:23-25).
But when we do not trust in the precious blood of Christ which can cleanse us from every sin, we dishonour Him all the more (Matt. 26:28; Heb. 10:29). Oh Lord Jesus!
We may have feelings of condemnation in our being after we confess our sins, and we may think that, with time, these will go away. We should not trust our feelings and we should not stand with our feelings.
Rather, we should exercise our spirit to believe the Lord’s word and stand on the precious blood of Christ, and once we confess our sins, we should believe that the Lord has cleansed us!
Our focus is not our feelings: it is the Lord’s word and His work in us.
We believe the Lord’s word and we stand on the precious blood of Christ.
Day by day we need to apply the blood of Christ.
We must always apply the blood of Christ, telling the devil that although we are not perfect, we are under the precious blood of Christ, the blood that has overcome the enemy (1 Pet. 1:18-19; Acts 20:28).
This is very experiential and very sweet in our Christian experience.
All genuine believers have a feeling of guilt in their conscience when they sin, and especially when they touch the Lord and come into the light, they have a sense that they should confess what is wrong.
But even after confessing, they may still feel that sense of accusation and condemnation, and they may think that they have to do something more to get rid of it, maybe do some good works, humble themselves, or do something to please God.
Whenever we have any lingering accusation after we have confessed our sins, we need to stand on the word of God and declare the truth in God’s word to the enemy.
We need to be bold, even speak out loud, declaring the verses in God’s word that tell us that we overcome the enemy because of the blood of the Lamb. We may tell Satan,
Satan, I am not perfect – I am aware of that. I am aware that I am far from being perfect. But I am under the perfect blood of Jesus. If you attack me, I hide under the blood, and the blood has overcome you! I believe in the power of the blood of the Lamb! I believe that, when I confess my sins under the Lord’s light, God has forgiven my sins and has washed them away! I am now free in the Lord and I have peace, joy, and energy! But you, Satan, who keep accusing me, you are soon going to the lake of fire! Christ defeated you on the cross! Christ terminated you, and today I overcome you because of the blood of the Lamb! And a time is coming, Satan, when you will be cast from heaven to earth, and then from earth to the abyss, and finally from the earth you will be cast into the lake of fire! Satan, your destiny is to be in the lake of fire and my destiny is to be in the New Jerusalem, part of God’s corporate glorious expression! You are a liar, Satan, and I do not believe your lies and accusations! I choose to believe the word of God! Amen!
When we declare the truth in the word of God to the enemy, even though we may not feel it, we stand on the word of God, and faith is infused into us.
We overcome the enemy because of the blood of the Lamb! We do not know the power of the blood of Jesus and the effectiveness of this blood, but Satan knows and God also knows.
We should not believe in the accusations of the enemy more than we believe in the precious blood.
We need to trust the precious blood of Christ. We overcome Satan not because we did not sin but rather, because we apply the blood of the Lamb.
When accusations come from Satan, we need to deal with them by the blood. Once we accept the blood of Christ, Satan’s power is nullified.
We depend on the blood of Christ. We rely on the blood of Christ, not on our power to improve our behaviour or better ourselves.
We continually depend on the blood and trust in the blood, taking the blood as our unique foundation.
The overcomers know the power of the blood of Christ and they trust in this blood.
We should feel that we are being humbled by the Lord when we have these lingering accusations and condemnations in our conscience or feelings, even though we have confessed our sins.
Rather, we must learn to overcome these accusations by the Lord’s blood and by our standing on the word of God. Hallelujah!
May we practice this and may we overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb!
Lord Jesus, we want to be Your overcomers today, those who overcome the enemy because of the blood of the Lamb! Amen, Lord, we apply Your precious, prevailing, overcoming blood. We believe into You, we open to You, and we allow You to shine on us and in us. Cleanse us with Your precious blood. Oh Lord, apply the blood on our behalf according to Your evaluation of it. We trust in the blood and we treasure the blood. Hallelujah, we overcome Satan, the accuser, because of the blood of the Lamb! Amen, Lord, we are cleansed, we are washed, and we are overcoming because of Your blood! Our blood is our only foundation, our only merit. May we be those who know the power of the Lord’s blood and depend on the blood of Christ. Amen, Lord, we do not try to improve ourselves or be better, even to suffer more, to atone for our mistakes. We confess our sins, we apply the blood of Christ, and we believe in the power of the blood! Praise the Lord, we can deal with the power of Satan according to God’s evaluation of the blood! Hallelujah! Amen!
